So was the rest of the NFC East.

Did you need a linebacker EF27?

No RB in the draft I'd rather have than McCluster, was hoping he'd stay under the radar & could slip to the Falcons in the 3rd frankly.

A stronger QB class next season spells DOOM for Clausen.

Watching Boomer, Young, Gruden, Kiper, and Jackson is brutal. They have ZERO cohesion and chemistry.
I am only hanging on because I like Gruden's comments but he just has to fight hair-do over talking him.

The Football Outsiders guys have been saying for a few years that college starts and completion percentage are the two big indicators for success at the pro level. See for example College stats don't lie - NFL - ESPN.

Wow, how far is Clausen gonna fall?

Chiefs probably decided they want their own Sproles.

Wow, the Browns didn't take a QB there

Bucs trade up to 2.7...

Yes, actually. I think they could have used him in some creative blitz packages with his speed. Oh well, more I read of Nate, he seems like a solid pick. Meanwhile, Clausen continues to fall.

Eisen, Mayock, Corey Chavous, Brian Billick, Charles Davis for NFLN. Pretty strong (dunno about Chavous though).

I've always wondered what Gruden would be doing if he didn't have a career in football. Even when he is happy he looks supremely pissed off.

Trying to think of who comes out next year. Locker and Mallett (probably on Mallett, since he could come back).

Maybe Luck from Stanford. That atheltic kid from Miami? Pryor from OSU? Who am I missing?

The SEC seems like it was cleared out this year, Tebow, Snead, Crompton, LSU's QB wasn't good I don't think, can't remember who Stafford's replacement at Georgia was, wasn't McElroy a senior, too? Shows how much I pay attention there. ;)

I liked watching the NFLN draft last night. Wasn't a bunch of people trying to talk over each other. Although, it could have been 6 monkeys flinging feces at each other and as long as Berman wasn't in the group it would be better.

They moved up for Aurelios Benn. Wonder who they thought was going to snatch him...

Could the Bills take Jimmy?

I wonder if a team is going to be able to pickup both McCoy and Shipley?

Danny boy looks like he's been baking in the sun a little too much.

rams had to take Bradford or trade out If they take Suh, the lions get a Godfather offer and the Rams look dumber.

these qbs are dropping like flies. and a tackle or two im surprised isnt gone yet.

some very very decent prospects still out there.

Come on...The pick has been in for a while.

Clausen to the Raiders. Book it. Done.

Wonder who will take Claussen...


Jimmy's down! Jiimmy's going into shock.

Bruce Campbell will go to Oakland here.

I think it's fair to say Mays was overrated.

This Utah OLB is interesting, though hearing the word undersized always makes me cringe.

Did the Bills to just select the Trout option?

I seriously wonder if Ralph Wilson is Al Davis' twin brother.

I'm willing to bet he would have gone in the top 20 of the 1st round if he had come out last year. Coming back for his senior year was a bad mistake for him.

Looks like Al Davis fell asleep.

Poor Raiders. They're the anti-Pats. Any selection they make is instantly ridiculed.

So they traded with each other, because the Pats must want a WR and the Ravens definitely want one.

I still think he will be a pretty solid Safety in the NFL, starter material after a couple years imo.

There are people right now on the local newspaper blog saying that the Hawks should jump up to grab him. Because two safeties in the first two rounds is what we really need.

Agreed. I remember thinking last year that he really should have gone. The season he had more or less confimed that. He had nowhere to go but down at that point. He got bad advice from somewhere.

Man, Buffalo must really not like Clausen.

Yeah, I agree with this, he'll be okay.

The Raiders select:

Jimmy McCoy

It's Gronkowski, according to SoSH.

Carroll wasnt giving out very good NFL draft advice last year, suffice to say.

good pick by the pats. needed TE

I agree. His physical skills are superior and with good coaching he should become a very good player in my opinion.

As much as it pains me to say this, seeing the new coaching staff in action (well vicariously from good friends who are still in the area), the level of hands on coaching in practice is night and day between this year and last in favor of this year.

Wow...He made the trip to NY?

lol... I swear Belichek must prematurely ejaculate when he sees a solid tight end available in the draft.

Read into that anyway you want.

Kindle . if his knee heals fine or isnt a problem thats excellent value at 43.

Ray Lewis has another protege.

My guess is Tate here to Baltimore. He'll beat out his QB. And for the first time in many years, a UCLA AND a Notre Dame player will be picked ahead of a USC player. ;)

Nice gamble by the Ravens.

Oakland is having a damn good draft.

Did I say that?

back to back Longhorns. lol

take it back, quick!

Houston's a guy I would have enjoyed seeing go to the Pats.

Or maybe they'll pick someone else while I am typing.

Houston is a stud. Someone must have told Al Davis the draft didn't start until Saturday.

Denver now has the Raider draft mantle. Maybe they'll grab Clausen here, for the competition in camp.

Does Kindle project as a 3-4 OLB?

im starting to sweat Carolinas pick, I dont want them to, but I already know if Clausen is there, hes going to Carolina. boooooooo (ill take the boo back if he performs well. lol)

Yep. He is very quick off the edge.

damn, WTF happened with Bruce Cambell?

everyone hates him, lol.

Ringo, John, George and Paul are apparently going to be on the offensive line here. This guy has a fifth-round grade. First player picked that I didn't have in the 148 from the draft contest.

We've secretly swapped the front offices of Denver and Oakland. Let's see if anyone notices.

lol, gold.

Good fit for the Ravens then. They did the same thing with Suggs when they get him as a college DE out of ASU.

Linval Joseph will be a stud for the Gmen in that system.

Demaryius Thomas, Tim Tebow, Zane Beadles


Draft picks of the Broncos.

someone is trying to drive that team into the ground.

Joseph and Washington are also great Value here IMO.

Please Carolina dont do it, please dont take Clausen.

wow my Cards traded up, they rarely do that. Needed that LB though, so a good pick. They really really need corner/safety help still.

Dola, I'd rather have Charles Brown, Bruce Campbell or Taylor Mays in Carolina at this spot.

And the Cardinals snipe Washington from the Panthers.

Think it would be a mistake if the Panthers take a QB here. This is their first pick in this draft, and you don't want to pick a player who's going to sit behind a starter-Matt Moore.

In FOF, that would be a good move.

I think the Panthers are going to take Colt.

ok. I really hope he shows us something, but I don't like him at all. and I think we screwed up.

Or not.

And the Panthers take Clausen

I would of preferred Tenant from BC but would this guy Beaddle was rated the 2nd best guard in the draft. If they could somehow get Gerhardt and Tennant with the two 3s they got I would be happy but doubt either will be there. This pick fills one of our two vacant o-line spots the other being center.

damnit I'm pissed.

Fuck

NOOOO

Why Clausen, I'd rather have McCoy.

Gotta like the pick. It's value at this point. Clausen is a hell of a thrower, for a guy who looks like a complete jerk.

I guess... Im gonna start drinking now.

does San Fran take McCoy here?

nope, Taylor Mays, thats a good pick for the Niners too.

Finally. SF just got some good value.

Nice fit for Mays. And Mayock just talked through three highlights of a different player critiquing Mays game... nice job NFL network. Good thing a giant turd would be better than listening to Berman.

Mount Cody to the Chiefs?

FWIW this is how I rated out the QBs

1. McCoy
2. Bradford
3. Clausen
4. Pike
5. Tebow
6. LeFevour
7. Jarrett Brown
8. Skelton / Snead / Crompton (not really) the rest of the rest.

I think Kafka , Lefevour and Tebow are the most interesting prospects. Maybe Jarrett Brown is also pretty interesting.

I had the right team, just the wrong player. Arenas to the Chiefs

Too bad Clausen will have no one to throw to outside of an aging Steve Smith who will be double-covered.

Any one have the details on the Cards trade please?

I think they gave up a low 3rd to switch 2nds with the Pats.

So far Raiders having their best draft in years.

You are probably right, Al will wake up tomorrow and wonder why we are in round 4.

Thanks Jim that's what I figured-they had an extra third from the Boldin trade.

they lost Chester Taylor, so it makes sense to me, seems like a great fit to spell AD at times.

Toby Gerhardt that is

Pats back to their Florida connection, taking DE Cunningham.

Love that pick for them. They could pound some teams into submission next year.

As long has they have a credible passing attack. I wonder what that might hinge on... :)

is anyone watching Chris Berman, god he is such a fuckin asshole. lol

Nice pickup by the Cowboys. Lee always seemed to be around the ball when I watched Penn State.

Mount Cody makes a lot of sense for Baltimore.

You think Belichik gets a commission based on every draft trade he makes?

:D

They're replaying Tebow's interview from yesterday? Lame.
