NFL Draft

[ido]

It's official...I'm now a Denver Broncos fan.

I think the Saints made a great pick. Look at what happened to that defense when Porter and Greer were out for a few games.

No kidding. It was painful to watch.

I'm honestly surprised seeing Tebow go in the first round. I think he'll prove to be a bust.

That said I'm not going to be bothered one bit if he proves me wrong. Although I know of some Tebow haters out there who's heads are probably exploding right now.

 

[AuburnMeg]

I like Tebow, but I don't think he's going to do that well in the NFL. I think Jimmy Clausen would have been the better choice.

 

[CrusaderKing]

Buffalo was going to try to get Tebow, which is why Denver traded back up to get him. The QB battle in Denver is going to be interesting, but I still think Tebow is going to be left waiting in the wings. If a new CBA can't be reached, that could still be a problem unless Tebow decides to play in Canada in the event of a lockout.

 

[M*D*S]

I was happy to see Clausen go undrafted in the first. No real reason, just an irrational dislike for the guy. Would love to see McCoy get drafted before him...

 

[M*D*S]

I think Tebow will work out if there's a solid running game. He can't be worse than Kyle Orton, can he?

 

[citizenthom]

Almost time for Rounds 2 and 3! Big question: will the Rams trade away pick 2:1 to a team that wants Clausen, and if so, who's the taker?

Big names I'm watching for tonight: Brian Price, Terrance Cody, Sergio Kindle, Golden Tate, and Everson Griffen. To me those are the best guys left on the board, and someone's getting tremendous value by drafting them in the second.

 

[citizenthom]

Well, that was a big "no." But Saffold's a good move.

 

[citizenthom]

Now THAT is interesting: Gerald McCoy AND Brian Price to Tampa Bay. They're going to be a heck of a duo, too.

 

[citizenthom]

Now do the Browns snag a bargain in Clausen, or does he continue to fall?

 

[Pauler]

he is falling as is mccoy and kindle...

i thought miami would have taken kindle over misi

Bellichek likes his OLBs a little bigger, so that's not too surprising. I wonder if Baltimore takes Kindle or if there's a DB they like.

 

[Pauler]

you mean parcells (not bellichek)

i think kindle will be a good fit in baltimore.

 

[citizenthom]

Kindle is a steal for the Ravens. And you're right about my misstep there, of course.

Carolina's an interesting pick. They need a DT but I don't know which ones left make sense for them.

And Clausen's still here, and it doesn't look like San Francisco or Kansas City want him...he's got a long fall ahead.

 

[citizenthom]

Well, so much for the Matt Moore era in Carolina.

Love the Taylor Mays pick by the 49ers. I have no idea how people got so down on that kid.

 

[Pauler]

yea, mays was a top 5 pick last year...sf is going to be scary next year in the nfc west.

 

[citizenthom]

Let the military chick announce all the picks. She talks more quickly than Goodell.

 

[citizenthom]

Jason Worilds is a HECK of a pick for the Steelers. He's going to be a monster in their defense.
