2011 NFL Draft chat thread

About time to hear Stanzi, Yates and my Boy Pat Devlin called!

I wonder how all the folks who paid $30 for their Exquisite "rookies" are feeling now? I know it's early in the spring, and they're college pics, but still...

Nice pick for the Jets. Ellis is a solid DL prospect.

How dumb do charles davis and mike mayock look? Acting as if they are predicting the pick, when we all know they are hearing in their ears who it is....And they are fighting each other to say it ::facepalm::

Hate the the Cowboy's 3rd round selection. They need to address the interior of the OL and the Secondary but they go w/ a slightly above average back.

Why can't they Cowboys give Choice a chance to play?

Exactly!

This is probably my biggest problem with the last pick. Other than the fumble vs. Washington, Choice has excelled at everything they've asked him to do. Remember, he was stellar when he started in late '09...

Yep, he's made one mistake to a number of great plays. He has the talent to be a number 1 back but Garrett and Jerry don't want to give him a shot..

i see Murray beating out Choice. as much as i like Choice, i feel that we should move him

Choice has been their most consistent back and he's durable. Choice has everything over Murray except speed and possibly hands.

When I realized the Bills, who I usually rip for their "reaches", were having a good Draft I worried that they would get good in time to move to Canada. :?

But the Raiders stepped in to supplant them as the team most likely to take a player WAY too high! :lol:

 

[seahawks4ever]

I am so happy right now from both a fan and collectors standpoint. The Seahawks have spent their top 2 draft picks on the offensive line. From a collectors standpoint, that makes it much easier to collect and from a fan's standpoint, our lines on both sides were AWFUL last year.

Go Seachickens! Boo Vikings

I agree. Jones will never have a full season. Goes down on 1st contact as well. They need to move him while he still has value and Barber is past his prime.
They are no doubt putting the backs on notice

Reading a few different reviews of Steelers 3rd round pick, Curtis Brown, it sounds like he was the better cover corner between him and Aaron Williams. Brown is more of a pure corner, while Williams may end up playing safety at some point in his career. I'm liking the Steelers draft so far.

 

[SilverandBlack]

Well in a shocking move my Raiders draft the fastest guy at the combine way to early again. I love the wisinewski (spelling?) pick hes got a good pedigree and is a physical beast on the line which we really need. I think they should have moved back up into the end of the 2nd or early 3rd and taken a shot on Mallett. At that point the money is worth the risk and Jackson is known for his work with QBs the kid has all the talent a tools to be a star and i think he will be awesome in New England.

I 100% agree and what makes it worse is that the back they drafted has injury issues as well.

Lots of good drafts thus far, but this is a day that makes/breaks a teams grade.

 

[Slette]

Guess who is supercollecting Christian Ballard this year!!!

Guess who is supercollecting Christian Ballard this year!!!

My wife even said something about that. She said , "Oh look, an Iowa guy going to the Vikings, Slette will be excited".

 

[MojoDan]

:lol:

Good Luck Slette

 

[deceptikon1978]

Tim's happy, more Eagles to collect.

 

[deceptikon1978]

and a Brown :lol:

 

[Slette]

And Karl Klug to the Titans.

Dion Lewis to the Eagles. Tim - you gonna chase him like you have McCoy's stuff?

 

[mstng99tim]

FML!!!

2 Browns and another Eagle to collect.

Slette - no, I won't be collecting him like I did with McCoy. I plan on collecting Baldwin mostly, but I will pick up stuff of the other Pitt guys.
