NFaiL Draft

[Grey Fox]

So do they Lions have enough now to actually win games?

[JacobL]

Happy with the Bucs pick and very happy they sat on their hands and resisted using their 2 high 2nd rounders to trade back up into the 1st.  Now today they have 2 of the first 10 picks.


And yes Lions look to be improving and at least headed in the right direction.  Best is a top talent IF he can stay healthy.

[Ed Anger]

By the way, anybody else think this new "prime time" format over three days sucks ass?  I miss being engorged on all things draft during an entire weekend.

Yes. I'm going to miss being lazy over the weekend.

Sooner Left Tackle 

[Vince]

I can live with Wilson at Nickel CB.  Jets seem to be stocking up on CB to make sure they can't get ripped up by multiple WR sets like last year. 

Now they just need some DL help and OL depth.

[Eddie Teach]

Wow, 3 of top 4 picks from Oklahoma?

[Barrister]

I can't seem to find out - what did the Vikings get from the Lions in exchange for their #30 pick?

Eh - found it.  They get the Lions 2nd round pick (#34 overall), plus 4th and 7th round picks.   

[Grey Fox]

The Vikings need a QB ffs.

They swapped 4th round picks

I wouldn't be opposed if they drafted Colt McCoy... (don't like Clausen, personally).

But remember, the Vikings are in the Win Now(tm) mode.  Drafting a QB is a multi-year project.

They ain't going to win shit with Rosencopter & Jacksuck. Has Favre announced anything?

I think McCoy could be good. I know next to nothing on this Clausen fellaw.

They have enough now to give their fans false hope at the beginning of the season; that's a dramatic improvement over last year.

Ah.  Well that doesn't so much sound like they fleeced the Lions then.

But given the money you save by not signing a first-rounder, and for few spots they actually dropped, it was still a good deal.

[Barrister]

Nope.  Which is a good thing - at this point in the year he was retired in 2009 and 2008.

[Sophie Scholl]

I'm very satisfied with the Raiders picking up McClain and not going for Bruce Campbell, someone with an insane 40 time, or a long snapper.  I was shocked Crazy Al actually made the right call.  Maybe he's swung back to slight coherence from his years senility?  If they kick Jamarcus to the curb, I might actually have some hope.

I'm indifferent to the Browns taking Joe Haden.  I think their hand was forced by no one contacting them to trade up.  They wanted Berry I presume, and when he went off the board and with no calls coming in, they took the top player on their board left, aka Haden.  He's a hell of a talent, but with the acquisition of Sheldon Brown from the Eagles, it was hardly a priority.  My pet fantasy of Teow going to Cleveland and being part of some insanity behind the line with Seneca Wallace and Josh Cribbs has been dashed by the loathed Broncos, and as such I think the Browns should hold off on a QB this year.  Next year is supposed to be loaded from what I hear, and with Delhomme and Wallace, they have 2 passable starters.

I'm once again furious with the Broncos, A) for taking Tebow and B) for once again shitting on my boy Kyle Orton.  Seriously McDaniels?  You fucking suck.  Hard.  You bring in Brady Quinn, and now Tim Tebow to threaten him.  Why not just be done with your second starting QB in 2 years and trade Orton as well?  To the Browns or Raiders.  For a late round pick or two.

Also:  Ed Anger works for the Cincinatti Bengals.  I've figured it out.  They hired the Nuge today!
