2011 NFL Draft Thread

[franchiseplay]

why would the bears draft a qb? ok, if you're not sure about Cutler, most liked what they saw from Caleb Hanie. It just seems there were more pressing needs for us right now

Well Collins is awful so I'd assume hes gone, so Cutler is your #1, Hanie #2, and Enderle #3.

Of course I think Lefevour last year was a better prospect than Enderle is and Lefevour didn't survive training camp last year.

Im really happy with the pats draft, I know alot of fans wanted us to get a pass rusher, but imo its always best to go skills before need Solder will be a day one starter, dowling will really help our sub packages out, vereen will give us another aspect to our offense as a pass catcher and a solid runner, ridleys a change of pace for green-ellis, malletts either our qb of the future or trade value, cannons a huge steal imo he had late 1st-mid 2nd round grade on him, he could be a solid fit at rg.

John Clay's going to be a god awful NFL running back, so I'm not surprised about that one.

I think his whole game is running people over, and I don't think he'll be able to do that effectively in the NFL. He might be a solid goal line back, you're right about that. Maybe in the mold of TJ Duckett. But that's about his ceiling, I think.

very good points, the only thing is would a team keep just a goal line back as one of their 53 spots. I guess it depends on how each team values a goal line back

Yeah, I bet you're right. It's just the name, man... John Clay. Seems like he was the best running back in college football for the past eight years. I watched him destroy so many teams and just thought he'd have an NFL future, but I'll defer to your analysis on him. Just seemed to me like some team would take a flier on him considering his college success.
