I'm liking what the Cardinals have done. Good 1st n 2nd and took a risk with Badger and at 69 it's worth it. With some other LSU guys around him, could keep him in check.

Ansah, like the Cowboys' players is NOT a good pick because, as a Project, he doesn't fit well in for a team that's pretty close to being a Playoff team. Milliner, who's probably a better overall player and definitely a bigger need for Detroit, would have been a much better pick and most Lions' fans agree with me.
"Ziggy" might be a Top player eventually but the Lions should have used that spot to fill an immediate Need or traded down and taken him later...

Immediate need? You realize that Detroit lost two starting DEs, right? Ansah is a DE. Plus they got Slay at CB in the second.

Please enlighten me on what your point is then. You said they should have taken Milliner at CB or traded down and taken Ansah later, right? Ansah wouldn't have been there any later. The got a need at DE and got a hell of a good corner in Slay in the second. This whole thing started when you said they took Ansah WAAAAAAAAAAAY too early. Please tell me what your point is.

That makes absolutely zero sense. Trade down to take a pick you love who won't be there. I didn't make anything close to that point for you. And Barkley hasn't been picked yet because the only time he has looked good in the past year was on his pro day, with no pads, no pressure, throwing to uncovered receivers.

Is this the same thought process that the Cowboys use every draft, thus leading them to rarely ever become a playoff team?

Either you didn't read my earlier posts or your Reading comprehension is really poor.
IF you notice I compared the Cowboys 2nd and 3rd picks to the same thing the Lions did. They took potentially good players, but as "projects" they had no need for them and ignored bigger needs until after them. They've done this alot since Parcells left and that is what has led to them missing alot of Playoffs. They finally took a Safety late with their 4th pick but both that position and OL should have been addressed.
The Lions let better DEs walk and expect to replace them with a guy who started 6 games in college. Maybe eventually he'll be that guy but not this year. JPP, who he's been equated to, was eased into the role but his team had the Depth at the position to allow that, Detroit doesn't. That's why it's a bad pick.
Oh and BTW, I praised the Steelers' draft at least twice in this thread. They got the best Pass rusher and RB in the entire Draft...

In today's NFL, they are. The Rams, Vikes and Cards and maybe Eagles could all be on the cusp of the Playoffs next season.
Heck, no one believed me when I said in May 2012 the Colts were a playoff-caliber team. There are alot of teams that are close to being Playoff-caliber this season and just need a piece or two...

I honestly usually never read your posts, because you are usually rambling on about something stupid and you put capital letters in places where they don't belong. The only reason I noticed what you posted was because you and Craig were going back and forth.

I love the Steelers draft. Love it. I know this because I get my knowledge from actually watching football games, not scouring outdated mock drafts on the net.
gt2590, please show me where in May 2012 you said the Colts would be a playoff team, I call BS on that statement.

Needed to clarify 'cuz I meant to say Browns here...
As for the Colts' statement, a quick search didn't show anything but it's here somewhere. All the teams I mentioned were solid on defense and just needed some help on Offense. Heck, the Browns should have gone 3-1 vs. the NFCE last year...
I think it's a risky pick only cause of his health, as a player i think hes got great talent. but I doubt he would have been there at 42. He was the 2nd best DB on the board & the best cover corner. It was said we were even gunna take him at #3 if we couldn't trade back. Hopefully he pans out, he was cleared by all 32 team doctors and given a clean bill of health so lets just keep are fingers crossed. I still would have rather had Floyd there too. I still think we could have got an extra pick out of the trade too even if it was a 4th or 5th.

There may also be a reason Floyd dropped to 23, and even a few DT going ahead of him

I don't agree with them, but ALOT of people liked Hayden more than Milliner and he wouldn't have fallen that far.
BTW, did you see the pretty cool article on the "new" Raiders front Office in this past week's SI? Looks like they're turning the corner and some of the "Crazy Al" stories are pretty sad to read...

The Steelers just took advantage of idiocy of other teams ahead of them for their first two picks. They did right though. Hopefully bell will work out for them, and Jones could put up huge numbers for them.

Floyd dropping so far was the biggest shock of the first round to me.
