NFL Draft

manning > moss

AJ Green and Patrick Peterson are about as close to locks as you can get.

But I wont be surprised if Julio is the next Ted Ginn. I think draftin WRs in the 1st round is a huge mistake unless their name is Rice or Moss.

So many busts from that position.

Julio Jones and Ted Ginn are two COMPLETELY different types of players. The only thing Ginn had going for him was his world class speed. Julio Jones is a vicious run blocker, a solid route runner, able to break tackles, is strong, and has very good speed (not on Ginn's level, but still fast.)

Julio Jones wont be a perennial pro bowler, but I wouldnt be surprised to see him make several throughout his career. Adam Schefter, I believe it was, compared him to a better blocking T.O. with a better attitude.

I think that the locks as Pro Bowl talent in this draft are as follows (not necessarily a pro bowler every year, but will be legit talent that will make a few):

Patrick Peterson
AJ Green
Julio Jones
Da'Quan Bowers (If his knee stays healthy)
Von Miller
Robert Quinn
Kyle Rudolph
Mikel Leshoure (I think he will be a steal in the 2nd round)
Titus Young (they say he's a poor man's DaSean Jackson)


I'm sure there will be a few others sprinkled in there. I agree, it is a weak draft as a whole, though.

I also think Nate Solder the O-Lineman from Colorado will be a great O-Lineman for many years.

I think Rahim Moore in the 2nd round is a strong pick too. I see him having a long career.

WOW!!!!! The Browns got a steal from the Falcons lol. They get this years 27th pick, this years Falcons 2nd and 4th round pick and next years 1st round pick just to let them move to number 4 to get Julio Jones! Great move by the Browns.

Jake Locker looks like a skinnier Fedor.

Yeah he does but he is a steal for the Titans. I think he is the best QB in this years draft.

HELL YEAH!!!!!!!! The Lions got Nick Fairley!!!!!!!!

That's a mean DL!!!

Hell Yeah it is. It maybe the best in the league. Off hand I cant think of 1 better can u?

A lot of the top defenses use 3-4 so its more about the LBs than the DL.

That was actually pretty touching with Ingram there.

now, back to creepy ass Jon Gruden

Well, the Browns looked like genius's...then they traded BACK UP to take a guy they could have gotten in the 2nd round. Not sure what the point of that was.

I am HOPING Bowers falls to us at our 2nd round pick!

No idea what the Browns were thinking with that trade up

They must know damn well that Bowers will be available at their 2nd pick...only logical thing I can think of.

I am going to pray for Bowers with our #37 pick and Titus Young for our #59 pick lol

I hope the Lions can get Rahim Moore but I dont think so, but then again I didnt think Fairley would be there at 11 either.

The Browns could very well draft Rahim Moore as well. We need a FS, DE, and WR...those are our 3 biggest needs heading into the 2nd round..so there is an abundance of players we could be selecting from today.

I think the Lions, if they improve that secondary, get a couple better linebackers, and get a better running back..will be a VERY tough team here on down the line.

Yeah I definitely think we need to go defense today in the 2nd and 3rd round and if we get a couple playmakers we should be in a good place.

A NFL newbie here. Besides QB what is the most important position?

Offensive and defensive line

Every position is important. One part of the puzzle isnt working, the entire system usually isnt going to work lol.

If your team had the option of having the best player of any position from another team (besides QB) who would you take and what position does he play?

I'm ready for next years Draft. 364!
