1)Colts: Andrew Luck, QB, Stanford

If you need this pick explained you just silly son.

2)Redskins: Robert Griffin III, QB, Baylor

I'm not sold on RGIII myself, but then again I said Cam would be a bust, so what do I know?

3)Vikings: Matt Kalil, OT, USC

I'm not buying Fraizers talk of not needing an LT. Yeah AP can run behind anything, but remember this is a passing league, and how can Ponder pass if he's on his ass? (I RHYMED!!!!)

4)Browns: Trent Richardson, RB, Alabama

An obvious playmaker on an offense that lacks a single one.

5)Buccaneers: Morris Claiborne, CB, LSU

Aqib Talib is gone, Ronde is 10000 years old, no brainer.

6)Rams: Justin Blackmon, WR, OSU

Generally a QB needs a WR to throw to in the NFL, hopefully Bradford and Blackmon can make some sweet sweet music together

7)Jaguars: Stephen Gilmore, CB, South Carolina

Im not high on Gilmore, but the Jags seem to be, and Rashean Mathis is also like 8000 years old.

8)Dolphins: Ryan Tannehill, QB, Texas A&M

The Desperation Dolphins continue to sink further and further down by over selecting a QB

9)Panthers: Fletcher Cox, DT, Mississippi St.

They couldn't stop the run if the RB tripped over his own two feet. Will provide a Kris Jenkins like presence in the middle.

10)Bills: Riley Reiff, OT, Iowa

Demetrius Bell is gone, its a necessity to replace him, unsexy but necessary pick.

11)Chiefs: Dontari Poe, DT, Memphis

Too much talent to pass up at this point, I wouldn't be surprised to see the Chiefs trade back.
12)Seahawks: Luke Kuechly, ILB, BC

They signed Barret Rudd, he's nothing but a stop gap, this guy will be running that defense for the next 10 years.

13)Cardinals: David Decastro, OG, Stanford

Ask ol' concussion Kolb, this O-Line sucks and needs a massive infusion of talent.

14)Cowboys: Mark Barron, S, Alabama

They need someone else besides Brandon Carr in the secondary period.

15)Eagles: Quentin Coples, DE, UNC

Since they struck out on Brandon Graham they decide to try again on Coples(just kidding fish!) As I always say you can never have enough pass rushers, and the talent is too good to pass up at this point in the draft.

16)Jets: Melvin Ingram, DE/OLB, South Carolina

The Jets have been living off Revis and Cro and zero pass rush. This defense is aging, but adding a pass rusher could make this defense dominant again.

17)Bengals: Michael Floyd, WR, Notre Dame

An absolute steal at this point. Soon it'll be like the heyday of Ocho and Housh in Cinci, except itll be Green and Floyd, scary combo!!!

18)Chargers: Courtney Upshaw, DE/OLB, Alabama

They've been desperate for a pass rusher for like 5 years now, maybe this time they'll finally get one!!
19)Bears: Jonathon Martin, OT, Stanford

A pass rusher opposite Peppers would be nice, but keeping Cutler up and healthy is the much more pertinent need.

20)Titans: Whitney Mercilus, DE/OLB, Illinois

I wasn't really sure who to give the Titans. The only reason they let Cortland walk was because of Alteraun Verner or whatever his name is, so a CB isn't dire. But you can once again never go wrong with a pass rusher!

21)Bengals: Dre Kirkpatrick, CB, Alabama

Losing Joseph hurt them last year, Losing hall to achilles hurt even more. Kirkpatrick is a great grab at this point to sure up that secondary!

22)Browns: Kendall Wrigh, WR, Baylor

Their number one receiver currently is Greg Little, that **** won't fly. Him and Richardson will make the AFC North a very interesting place.

23)Lions: Cordy Glenn, OG/OT, Georgia

The defense looks awesome, Janoris Jenkins could be a possibility here, but I think they go the safe route and give Stafford another protector.

24)Steelers: Dont'a Hightower, ILB, Alabama

This guy will either be a Steeler or a Raven, I guarantee it.

25)Broncos: Michael Brockers, DT, LSU

They got Peyton, now it's time to work on that Defense.

26)Texans: Reuben Randall, WR, LSU

Jacoby Jones and Kevin Walter simply haven't done enough to get the #2 receiver job done. Randall should give opposing defenses fits, as well as keep them from constantly double teaming Andre.

27)Patriots: Harrison Smith, S, Notre Dame

They had Julian Edelman playing safety last year. NUFF SAID.

28)Packers: Jerel Worthy, DT, Michigan State

This defense lost its way last year, it's time to get back to basics and get some kind of a pass rush going.

29)Ravens: Stephen Hill, WR, Georgia Tech.

Will be a beautiful compliment to Torrey Smith in the future for Flacco.

30)49ers: Peter Konz, C/G, Wisconson

They need a little more help on the line, especially since losing Baas last year and not really replacing him.

31)Patriots: Nick Perry, DE/OLB, USC

PASS RUSH PASS RUSH PASS RUSH!!!!!

32)Giants: Mike Adams, OT, Ohio St.

This pick is going to be a doozy, I simply gave what I felt is the best player available at this point. But knowing JR this could go in a thousand different directions (but I will tell you it will NOT be a TE)

Oh and Nick, 9-7 don't matter: Won superbowl.

in their history? u need to revisit your RECENT history and see how they acquired Troy P and Santonio Holmes

How'd that work out for the Eagles fish?

i like 6... heres a couple of my own


1. Patriots trade (way) up and take Barron before the cowboys have a chance to

2. rams trade steven jackson for asante samuel if richardson falls to them at 6 (especially if claborne and blackmon are gone)

3. more to come...

1) The Giants take someone that absolutely no one mocked them taking anywhere

2)The Patriots will trade their 2nd first round pick and move back.

3)The Vikings will say all week how much they don't think they need a LT, then will take Kalil

4)The Jaguars will reach yet again and have everyone saying "who?" when they announce their pick.

5)I will cut a bitch if the Giants take a TE in the first round.

6)Roger Goodell will get booed when he takes the stage.

how much you think the iggles will get for asante? no more than a 3rd thats for sure

wow you'd give them a 3rd?

No better then a 5th, put it on the board, Josh god damn guarantee on that one.

cuz the eagles rnt gonna pay jackson what he wants to be a backup RB at this point of his career.  he wants a pay raise n get 20+ carries not 5 with the eagles.

Giants offense doesn't really rely on the tight end. There's just no need to take a Joker type tight end that early. Now Dwyane Allen at the end of the 2nd is more my speed. The TE's in the Giants offense need to block, Fleener can't. I think Martelleus is gonna have a nice year for the gmen, nothing crazy bout 6-700 yards n 6 or 7 tds, that'd be fine by me.

well maybe if they had a good one eli could make him into a top weapon, and maybe they havent put up big numbers is because they suck.  if eli could turn jake ballard into someone who puts up those numbers imagine what he would do if he had an actual playmkaer. wait that makes too much sense pretend i didnt say this before the giants GM reads this!

“We’ve talked obviously a lot,” Philbin said, via Mike Beradino of the South Florida Sun-Sentinel. “We’ve had draft meetings. We’ve discussed him as an individual. We’ve watched his film. Obviously Mike [Sherman] has been around Ryan for a long, long time, but it wasn’t like we sat around and said, ‘OK, what about him at eight?’”

Really? Not once in all of these discussions about Tannehill was there a moment when someone asked the room if it made sense to actually draft him?




hahahaaahahaha ohhhh those tricky tricky dolphins

#IwouldntBeSurprisedIf Asante went to the Cards today :)

 cards?  u meant falcons right? ya sad to see him go, i really liked asente, but hes 31 years old and getting paid 10mil n hes not very good at what the eagles want to do now which is press coverage.  he missed a few games end of last year n eagles won n the d looked the best it did all year.  hopefully they can now re-sign mccoy with the extra cap room and also look out for the eagles to draft a corner early in the draft this weekend

the truth about players "rising" and "falling" this late in the draft process:

The truth is he isn’t dropping.  The truth is that he was already lower than the media believed.  Which, as more information trickles out about the actual content of draft boards, creates the impression that the player is dropping.

That dynamic remains one of the fundamental flaws with the pre-draft process.  Draft experts put guys higher than they really are, which unreasonably raises their expectations — and which in turn sets them up for a major letdown when the truth comes out.

So whenever you hear that a guy is rising or falling as the draft approaches, it rarely if ever means any team has changed its views on a player.  Instead, it means that the media’s assessment of the player was wrong, and that the true assessments are causing the media to now move a guy up, or to move a guy down.

i am going to introduce a new segment that nick is going to love and has probably already mastered: "Things that wouldn't surprise me."

this segment is not quite as strong as a bold prediction so it does not get as much props if correct, but it is statements that MOST ppl are not predicting yet i could definitly see it happening.  here are some of my "thing's that wouldn't surprise me:"

1. eagles move up in the top 10 to get cox. (on the same token, if eagles trade up to get tannehill dont be surprise if i murder someone). Half credit!

2. tannehill falls out of the top 10.  yes, i could see miami passing on him and him falling a la rodgers and brady quinn of years past.

3. mark barron goes in the top 10. everyone knows hes the best saftey in the draft n every team from 13 on would like it, so it wouldnt surprise me to see a team trade up to get him.

4. bradon weedem goes late 1st.  i think 2nd is more likely, but like i said this wouldnt surprise me either to see a team in the last 1st draft him.

5. ryan kalil slipping to #10.  just look at the sceniaro if the vikes pass on him.  browns have joe thomas, no. bucs have donald denn, no. rams?  do u think the spend another top pick and another LT? jags? they got eugene monroe. dolphins, jake long. panthers?  i think they go D.  i think it is entirley possible kalil could slip to #10 and the bills if the vikings pass on him for claiborn.

6. danny no shows at our draft party after tricking i mean promising nick that he would after nick doing photo shop work for him.  this is almost as much of a lock as RG3 going to the skins!

---

 so looks like i went 3.5 right out of 6 semi bold predictions, not bad!

as far as the mocks go, josh did the best.  i did if u got the right player to the right team regardless of draft #.  here is how it looked:

josh: 7/32 (very good, better than most "experts")

nick: 5/32 (1/2 credit for somewhat calling decastro going to the steelers if they traded up to 16. always impressive to call ur teams pick when not drafting in the top 10)

danny: 4/32 (way to be then only person to get your own teams pick wrong when every one else in the world had it!  guess this is y u claim to not listen to the media cuz there always wrong!)

can someone please post mel kipers best avaiable day 2 (insider only)

Cool ****!

For first time ever, player jerseys were customized on site
Posted by Mike Florio on April 27, 2012, 9:54 AM EDT

Backstage last night at Radio City Music Hall, well before the Chiefs’ selection with the 11th pick in the draft was announced, I saw someone carrying a red jersey with white letters and yellow trim that had the name “POE” on the back. I resisted the temptation (unlike another guy in the media who repeatedly took a page from his apple-eating Biblical namesake) to broadcast the pick via Twitter. Besides, I was more curious about something else.

How many different jerseys with “POE” on the back were in the building, and how could I finagle one of them?

League spokesman Brian McCarthy has supplied the answer: None.

For the first time ever, Nike was customizing the jerseys on site. Thus, for any of the 26 men in the green room, a jersey would have been instantly prepared for any team taking any player.

Brian sent along the picture of the process, with the names of each player ready to be printed up and applied to the back of the jerseys.

So there will be no collector’s items this year or, apparently, in any future years, like the Colts jersey bearing the name and number of Ryan Leaf, which Dan Patrick has in his studio.

I was estatic with the draft last night, but that doesnt mean there arent some things that make me nervous. for this occasion i will bring back the HOT/NOT list:

HOT
-Steelers patiently waiting for the best guard in the entire draft. Their GM Kevin Colbert this morning said they tried several times to trade up, especially ahead of cincy, to get decastro and they couldnt believe he fell to them. yes, guard is about as sexy as charlotte in a bikini with armpit hair, but i couldnt be more happy that they took him. mentioned them trading up for him in my mock but they didnt need to. A+

-the browns complete FAIL of a first round. i mentioned the steelers patience got them an A+, well the browns inpatience gets them a D-. They traded up with the vikes just to ensure they would get richardson, with a very good chance he would fall to them anyways. then they reached for a 28 year old QB who honestly prolly isnt much better than colt mccoy if he had weapons. they could have gotten him in the second, no patience shown.

-the amount of trades in the top-10. was fun watching so many teams move around in the top-10 considering it had no impact on the steelers

-the pats stealing hightower away before the ratbirds could get him

-ill give the nod to the iggles for cox, the best interior DL in the draft

-some people had david wilson to the steelers in the second. hes a great player and if the giants wanted him which they obviously did it would be tough to trade up from 32 in the second round for him

NOT
-the patriots had a great first round and will be an even tougher out this year

-even thou i loved that the ravens didnt pick in the first round, i still think they get the man they were looking for. they pick 3rd tonight and will either take upshaw, hill or glenn.

-bruce irvin, huh?

cant wait for some more tonight!

"charlotte in a bikini with armpit hair," whoa.  i just threw up while erm got a boner.  moving on, i dont think the browns did that bad considering they got richardson who might be the best player in the draft.  yes they traded a few picks when they might not of had to, but i was reading they had 13 total picks from the trades with atlanta last year plus other teams so giving a few away to move up wasnt a big deal to me.

we'll see about weedon, they obviously realized colt mccoy isnt the answer so they had to make a move.  as the steelers have shown u can get a good wr in the 3rd round so lets see who they draft today before we grade them on these moves.  if they dont get a good wr then watch up weedon, ur gonna be 30 before u have anyone good to throw to haha

thats ****ed up.  guess where hes from: SOUTH BRUNSWICK, my home town!

my brother knows him n said hes a really cool dude so im rooting for him also

thats funny. guess hes on board with the tannehill era

this was before the draft order was even set. pretty amazing he did better then than most right before the draft

how about mayocks vs the real thing?

so you did it for mcshays draft in december but you wont for mayocks mock draft of all mock drafts? #lazy

ouch:

The Dolphins acquire Ryan Tannehill with the eighth overall pick. And in the long run, everyone who played quarterback musical chairs ended up getting a quarterback. The Browns and Dolphins appeared to be left out, but they both used first-round picks on Thursday night to overdraft players in the hopes of finding their franchise guy. They didn't. Tannehill has an NFL arm and prototypical size, but he hasn't exhibited NFL-caliber accuracy and didn't get nearly the number of college reps he needed to step right in at the professional level. New Dolphins coach Joe Philbin might be able to mold him into a viable starter, but that's not going to happen in 2012, which makes Miami owner Stephen Ross's obsession with acquiring an exciting talent to sell tickets utterly ridiculous. Nobody's going to buy season tickets in Miami to see Ryan Tannehill hold a clipboard all season. Miami could have drafted DeCastro or Luke Kuechly and upgraded a lacking part of their lineup; instead, they used the eighth overall pick on a lottery ticket.

thats funny.  so homeland security allows u to get this webite huh? i hope they cant read everything we write on here, i thought the toliet sticky thing protected us from everything!
