1st round draft thread

[Merk]

St.Louis is on the clock and it seems like everyone thinks it will be C.Long

[Merk]

Atlanta now on the clock and again everyone seems to think there going M.Ryan

[angneli]

Ryan over Dorsey? That would be a surprise to me.

[Merk]

I would have picked Dorsey

[MeccaOfManhood]

ESPN Radio says that the Jets will take McKelvin at 6 even if Gholston is available. That's terrible if true.

[Merk]

Oakland is on the clock and everything seems to be pointing to McFadden

[Merk]

ESPN Radio says that the Jets will take McKelvin at 6 even if Gholston is available. That's terrible if true.


That def would be a surprise

[SpikedLemonade]

I would have picked Dorsey

I agree.

[angneli]

Gholston is going to be a star.

[nukedawg]

I would have picked Dorsey

That pick was damage control

[Merk]

I hope the Raiders just pick someone crazy like D.Jackson or something at 4 lol

[CoachC.]

i'll be here today. i'll also have my blog running every few picks, if anyone wants to cruise by for a moment:

[Merk]

That pick was damage control



Yea I think that played a part but Dorsey is light years ahead of any DT they can get in this draft. Ryan is a good QB but he's not light years ahead of the guys that will be available at the end of the first and beginning of the second

[Merk]

KC on the clock, I think Dorsey is the pick

[Merk]

Look for the Saints or Cincy to try and trade up

[nukedawg]

New orleans will jump up

[SpikedLemonade]

Look for the Saints or Cincy to try and trade up

Yup.

Saints offered their 1st and 2nd plus next year's first to KC.

KC is stupid not to tak eit.

[gilchristfan]

watch for a trade with NO. Peterson's going to take it. a 1 and a 2 this year, another 1 next year? Take it. They drafted 2 DT's last year in the 2nd

[gilchristfan]

they should have traded.

[Merk]

They took him, Smart move on there part he fits there D like a glove. Plus its not often that you can get the Player I believe to be the best in the draft at #5

[Merk]

Jets are up, I think they go Gholston

[phishhead220]

I'm so glad the Jets didn't get McFadden...I think they've got to take Gholston here. At least I hope so, he'd be a beast for New England.

[bullfrog1]

watch jets will go Vernon Gholston

[bullfrog1]

I'm so glad the Jets didn't get McFadden...I think they've got to take Gholston here. At least I hope so, he'd be a beast for New England.

just what i was thinking

[MeccaOfManhood]

So much for ESPN Radio. I'm fine with this. I think he is a questionable pick.

[Merk]

Pats are up and I think its either Ellis or Albert

[bullfrog1]

I am guessing NE if they draft here they will take Rivers LB.

[CoachC.]

I say Rivers or trade.

[gilchristfan]

does NE take Branden Albert?

[Merk]

trade w/ saints for Ellis

[gilchristfan]

oops I posted too soon

[gilchristfan]

gonna be Ellis. No other move up makes sense.

Bummer for the Bungles

[Merk]

Ravens up, I'm thinking Clady or Albert

[MeccaOfManhood]

Wowwwww what did Jacksonville give up?

[Merk]

Wow Jags make a Huge move

[Merk]

Gotta be Harvey

[SpikedLemonade]

It looks like Rivers or Albert will fall to the Bills.

[bullfrog1]

I think Cinn will take rivers and NE will take a CB now. unless Cinn panics! Would be funny. Its in there history

[Merk]

It looks like Rivers or Albert will fall to the Bills.

I think Rivers is gone right here to Cincy

[phishhead220]

I think KC is going to give the Bills a nice offer for the No. 11. They went with Dorsey earlier and they still need o-line. Denver is going to go O-line and so will a few others before No. 17. Chiefs could get first choice of linemen if they make the trade.

[Merk]

If I'm NE I'd try and move down again

[SpikedLemonade]

I think Rivers is gone right here to Cincy

Right you are.

If the Pats draft CB, let's draft Albert.

[bullfrog1]

wow, good for us!

[SpikedLemonade]

Let's draft Alberts if we can't tradedown.

[shotgun]

bills on the clock'

[FamousAmos]

who'd we pick? they stopped it at 6 minutes then went back to 10 on ESPN?

[bduff54]

great pick by pats

[FamousAmos]

McKelvin!

[Bills-RHRN]

McKelvin baby just like I said! I think I just won 10 million buffalo chips baby!!!

[bullfrog1]

I am suprised Carolina drafted another RB. Deangelo Williams is a very good back and they drafted him high.I thought they would go O-Line.

[phishhead220]

There goes DRC to Arizona.

[FamousAmos]

thomas to detroit?

[bullfrog1]

The longer this goes. The better it gets. I feel Buffalo will move up. All WR are on the board. And if this keeps going the way it is. Maybe we will get our WR without even moving up. I am loving this draft for the BB.

[Merk]

Big move by Carolina for Otah

[Merk]

I think Tampa goes WR here

[gilchristfan]

The longer this goes. The better it gets. I feel Buffalo will move up. All WR are on the board. And if this keeps going the way it is. Maybe we will get our WR without even moving up. I am loving this draft for the BB.

Once the Thomas gets picked, the run will begin. Thomas, Sweed, Jackson and possibly Hardy get picked well before we get there.

If they like Devin Thomas, now is the time to trade up.

[bullfrog1]

I am guessing Carolinas 2nd rounder is in the deal and PHILLY would pick 43 two picks after Buffalo.

[JimKelly12203]

Why do i get the feeling that we're going to be taking M. Kelly at 41? Is that a bad move if he's there? I don't even know hehe.

[phishhead220]

Wow eagles get Carolina's second, fourth and a 2009 first round pick. That's a lot!

[gilchristfan]

I am guessing Carolinas 2nd rounder is in the deal and PHILLY would pick 43 two picks after Buffalo.

And next years 1st, if I heard that right, plus this year's 4th.

Maybe we shouldn't trade up.

I'm really surprised at what teams are giving up to trade up.

[bullfrog1]

Why do i get the feeling that we're going to be taking M. Kelly at 41? Is that a bad move if he's there? I don't even know hehe.

I hope not. But what do I know. I like Sweed and Hardy.

[bullfrog1]

And next years 1st, if I heard that right, plus this year's 4th.

Maybe we shouldn't trade up.

I'm really surprised at what teams are giving up to trade up.

wow! thats a lot! How could they not take that deal.

[Merk]

Talib, looks like Lito isnt going to tampa

[JimKelly12203]

And next years 1st, if I heard that right, plus this year's 4th.

Maybe we shouldn't trade up.

I'm really surprised at what teams are giving up to trade up.

Teams are giving up a ton. Jax gave up a ton to land Harvey IMO but anyone that read that article a while back should know how much they were enamored with him.

I think that trading up in the draft is more costly this year as a direct result of the ludicrous increase in the salary cap of late. Now more than ever, it is critical to fill your needs via the draft.

[imontoya]

i'm surprised by Talib here. Monte Kiffin was in love with Mike Jenkins.

[jurr80]

The tight end from USC is still around, too. Man oh man.

[bullfrog1]

Titans will draft the first WR.

[Merk]

Bold move to come up for Sam Baker by Atlanta

I think they could have waited though and maybe made the trade a little later though. I like Baker, I feel he has been pretty underrated leading up to the draft

[gilchristfan]

Dallas takes Felix. Not a huge surprise.

[bullfrog1]

Wow Brian Brohm would have been the first QB taken last year. What a difference one year makes. All those dollars.

[JimKelly12203]

Titans up now. My guess is Thomas is gone in 5 minutes.

[nehemiah]

mendenhall to shitsburgh. no lineman there?

dopes.

[bullfrog1]

Every team that is going to that 2 back offense. It makes no sense to use high picks on 2 backs.

[gilchristfan]

Titans up now. My guess is Thomas is gone in 5 minutes.

That's what I figure too.

[shotgun]

chris johns rb

[nehemiah]

tenn w/ a RB?

no WRs off the board?

soy confusado!

[Matt4105]

wow

[Matt4105]

this is really working in are favor!

[JimKelly12203]

That's what I figure too.

I'm shocked with where they went. 24 picks and no WR gone. WOW.

We shoudl really consider a strong offer to move up now.

[shotgun]

is dan connor still on the board

[bullfrog1]

ok. Well, teams must really be down on these WR. I thought Tenn would take one with no doubts in my mind.

[JT]

is dan connor still on the boardyes

[jurr80]

People are really down on the wideout position. We should get a good one.

I'm really surprised with Tenn. But looking at what it might take to trade up...is it better than just waiting? I wouldn't want to give up next year's first like the Panthers did.

[bullfrog1]

washington..seattle..dallas

chargers might go with one.

[Matt4105]

I'm really surprised with Tenn. But looking at what it might take to trade up...is it better than just waiting? I wouldn't want to give up next year's first like the Panthers did.

I have to agree I still cant believe they did that.

[ddpderek]

Cowboys should go WR or Jenkins!

[Matt4105]

Dallas traded, up now

[ddpderek]

Texans and Chargers could go WR to.

[ddpderek]

Wow great pick for the Cowboys hes a great player.

[gilchristfan]

Jenkins to the Boys. Lots of faith they have in PacMan :)

[derek2641]

what did the cowboys give up??? hopefully alot

[ddpderek]

Prob not to much it was only a few spots.

[TheAnswer74]

Jenkins to the Boys. Lots of faith they have in PacMan :)

You need more than 2 CB's. The Nickle CB is considered a starter.

[derek2641]

a 5 and 7

[Matt4105]

pending how much they gave up, dont think it was alot, the cowboys had a solid first round.

[easy_e65]

so much for dallas taking a WR

[JT]

Texans and Chargers could go WR to.

Seattle actually needs a RB...Texans could use a RB also

[derek2641]

how many mins for selection in 2nd
round

[easy_e65]

who the hell is that? Duane Brown?

[JT]

how many mins for selection in 2nd
round

I think 7

[JT]

St. louis can use a wr

[twosheds]

who the hell is that?

Compares To: JASON PETERS-Buffalo... :D

[Matt4105]

i could see seattle taking a wr.

[imontoya]

just about every team before the bills in the 2nd could take a WR, unfortunately

[Matt4105]

CB are going like hot cakes this year.

[Merk]

I'm thinking TE for Seattle

Tell me how important that M.Kelly workout was for all WR's now! There really is a good possibility no WR is drafted in the first.

[ddpderek]

Reach for Jackson

This bottom of the round is pretty crazy

[bduff54]

this is shaping up nice, i will be happy with brown, sweed or kelly.

[imontoya]

[Merk]

Jets move up, not sure for what though

[imontoya]

Brohm?

[derek2641]

keller

[ddpderek]

hmm

[gilchristfan]

Keller? Thought he might still be there

[ddpderek]

Connor?

[nehemiah]

jests gave up a 2nd and a 4th for that pick

[McD]

Quite a bit for 6 spots.

[ddpderek]

not much to give up for keller

Bills should try to trade with G men

[nehemiah]

keller - amazing how smart youse guys are. :)

[McD]

Keller?!?!?!

[ddpderek]

Quite a bit for 6 spots.

a 4th rounder? not much

[Merk]

Good pick

[nehemiah]

jets fans are reaaalllly stupid.

[Lateralus]

Bills looking good for a WR at their second pick...



Could get ugly here tho....

[ddpderek]

Was it just a swap of 2nd rounders and the additional 4th?

they swapped 2nd rounders to??
