yea. it is pretty pro. This is the best I've felt about a draft in a while. Last year i felt ok with JPP in the 1st but he seemed like a project (though if he were to be redrafted he probably goes top 5 this year).

Lions with the RB pick. Hmm if Best can do better then they might just have an awesome tandem.

For the past few years patriots have had something like 5 RBs on their roster. I think the move to draft two running backs probably indicates the are not going to resign their two older RBs, Fred Taylor and Kevin Faulk.

That said they didn't address their biggest need: OLB. Why draft another QB when Brad Hoyer (forgot his name) has shown to be a capable backup? Definitely one of the stranger drafts in recent memory from that organization.

Bill Belichick is a draft day/coaching/psychologically exploiting genius. Also, Lions had an amazing first 3 rounds.

Nothing notable here but gotta talk about my team =P. Rams look to be building a Patriots-esque offense. Would love to see them take Derrick Locke.

P.S. Greg McElroy > Sanchez.

I think Belichick will develop Mallett for the sole purpose of trade bait in 3-4 years.

Anyway, LOVE the Falcons getting Jacquizz Rodgers. As Artosis would say, I love it, I love it, I love it.

Cheta Ozougwu, 6' 1 5/8" DE from Rice to the Texans (projected at OLB)

Idk man in 3-4 years Brady's going to be 37. Not saying Brady still won't be good, but uhh yeah he's going to be old then.

edit: and for the record it's not like the Pats couldn't use a 3rd QB on their depth chart.

Utterly disappointed with the raiders draft past steve wiz, van dyke was a pure speed pick and taiwan jones too and the raiders don't even need a running back that badly. I wanted to see a safety and a linebacker get drafted and that didn't happen. Would've liked to see Raiders take a chance on mark herzlich in the 7th round who was low risk high reward at that point. Also in terms of safety would've liked to see robert sands considering he was one of the fastest safeties in the draft it made too much sense for it to happen. Also would've liked marcus cannon even if he would've sat out for a year, still a solid prospect. Raiders probably wanted kaepernick in the second if it wasn't for the niners but I'm not too worried about that. Hate all these speed picks, but jacoby ford worked out last year so I'm not gonna throw in the towel just yet.

Yeah the Raiders track record for drafting... let's just say you guys will rejoice when Al Davis passes away...

Haha I assume David Akers is finally out in Philly. Taking a kicker with your 4th pick has to mean something.

rumors flying around denver that they will straight up trade orton for haynesworth.

with denver not drafting a dt, this is pretty damn plausible.

Woah. That would explain why the Redskins didn't draft a QB either, but are Denver really ready to throw everything behind Tebow yet? I think another season with Orton would be good for Denver, but I suppose that getting a solid dt would be beneficial. At the same time, Haynesworth has been really poor at the Redskins so I think it would be quite a risk.

I'm extremely disappointed in the Bears draft picks this year after the first 2 rounds. I'm pissed that Angelo didn't pick up a second lineman this year even though they had the WORST line in the league last year. Instead he spends ANOTHER pick on a safety (he has grabbed one in 9 of the last 10 drafts). That 3rd rounder could have been MUCH better used on an interior lineman. Also, he spent another pick on a 3rd string QB, even though he did that last year and cut the guy before the season started. Now Chicago NEEDS to make a splash in the offensive line free agent market or risk getting Cutler killed out there. And they already had to make a splash to find a big WR and a #2 CB.

This is very surprising to me. Orton is much higher value than Haynesworth at this point. Unless there are picks or more players being thrown in, Quinn for Haynesworth would make a lot more sense.
