I knew they would take a DT but I never thought Brown would still be there. I thought it would be Goldman.

Fucking scrub ass Cowboys picking up some undersized CB with injury issues that's gonna get trolled on by taller WR's.
edit:BTW I know Byron was rated high in the draft but I'm not a fan of 6' 1" CB's in today's NFL.

I keep hearing Denver and QB. I feel so skeptical about Petty, Grayson or Hundley...it's probably gonna happen anyways.
Must be a pretty easy/boring day 1 for the team with the first overall pick lol, especially if there are no plans to trade back into the late 1st.
Bucs fans were split on Mariota or Winston, end of the day we got a QB which was the biggest concern. Time will tell if we made the right move getting either of these guys as the odds are probably both don't pan out. Day 2 and 3 are just as important for this team, so many holes to fill. I think they take their highest rated OL left on the board in round 2.

Is the Vikings' pick of Trae Waynes really that good?
Have heard nothing but praise so far for him, aside from some small clips that ESPN showed about him right after he was picked.

6'1 is pretty good size for a CB.
LOL. Mad because he's undersized but you don't like 6' 1" corners? Are you drunk? The pick was fantastic.

I was really hoping that the Jets would go for Kevin White and Williams would fall to my Bears. Then we could jump on DGB in the 2nd. I'm still hoping for corner help so Darby, P.J Williams or Collins hopefully is our next pick. I think Mason and Bostic and be our inside guys for years to come. We need to stop Rodgers and Stafford....i guess Bridgewater also.

He sounds like one of the best corners available out of the draft so nothing to be down about with the quality of the player. Only stuff I've seen is some people really thought they should've taken a WR with that Louisville guy still available but I don't buy that as I'm not 100% sold that Cordarrelle Patterson's a bust already.

A day later, and I still don't really grasp it. I mean, I would have been pissed but more happy with a RB than a WR. What does it mean? Do they think they'll have trouble holding onto Hilton? Grasping at straws, I guess. First rounders should be guys that are coming in to contribute right away as possible starters, IMO. At best, this guy is going to be 4th string, and if Carter comes in swinging, maybe 5th. You have possibly a starting NT or S or T sitting there for the taking and you grab a WR who will be 4-5 deep on your depth chart? I dont even care if he ends up being a returner (although it would get rid of Cribbs.... hmmm.....).
I'm almost always down for BPA, but you're sitting there with a pretty good amount of options at positions of need.... I just dont get it. This guy better be as good as the last WR they drafted in the first round... also from "The U", or this will be two years in a row the Colts first round pick was pretty much tossed into a dumpster fire.
Positive take is if they bring in a magician and he or she uses some sort of spell to make the offensive line not shitty.... this offensive's potential is insane. Luck will absolutely be my first round pick in fantasy this year.

Colts seem allergic to defensive players. Really speaks to how little influence Chuck Pagano has.
I wonder if teams like the Titans go to players like Zack Mettenberger and let them know there is no way they will actually be the 2015 day 1 starter. Do they let them know they are just being used for posturing? Either way I hope they finally have a face of the franchise player again. They haven't had one since Chris Johnson's 2,000 yard year. Maybe Mariotta will at least make it 10 years in the league (RIP VY and Jake Locker).
I like your "reason" in the bottom right corner of your post :lol
That was my thought too.
NE is the only team in the league that is able to shut down our entire receiver corp.
Maybe they will still address the run defense ;_;
I like the Saints picks. Beef up the oline for Brees with Peat and finally adding an ILB with some good instincts and physicality. A De would have been great too but they seem to have some significant character questions and right now thats the last thing Saints locker room needs.

Yeah, I don't think I would have chosen Dorsett, but they have to honestly believe TY is too expensive to pay and/or that Dorsett was the only top tier "playmaker" left on the board over a Brown or a Collins on D.
I will say that having a current WR from The U being able to teach a new kid from The U to be the next Reggie next to TY's Marvin...that's pretty cool. And Pep Hamilton better have some 5 WR sets because hot damn, so many weapons for Andrew Luck this year.

WTF??? 6'1" is a good size and even considered "big" for a CB. As a Dallas fan I love the pick. Richard Sherman who is considered as "huge" for a CB is 6'3" and weighs less than Jones.

Someone tell me who the Pats are going to take today.
I really don't believe in drafting to beat "a team" it is fucking stupid.
We have way too many WR on the squad. What's the point of signing all these guys if you draft one in the fist? Fucking Grigson must be snorting it up with Jimmy.
Is this a really strong WR class? Or are all the other positions lacking? I cannot recall the last time I've seen this many go in the first. I think it's funny to see delusional Colts fans claim Bill would've drafted Dorsett if we didn't... Yeah cause the Pats are so notorious for drafting WRs in the first round.
Also, not to be a dick, but I'm not to bothered by the other AFC South picks. If anything the Jags probably had the best pick. I'm not at all worried about Matriota, and the Texans have had good running backs for a while. Still wish we went O-line or D-line. We better take a Safety or LB this coming round.
I think he is going to end up as a DB.
An O-linemen.

Still trying to wrap my head around the Packers pick too. Why are you using a first round pick on a player you're projecting to play another position? That's the main concern for me. It sounds like he has some experience at corner too but it just seems like a weird 1st round choice. And I know you don't really look at your current roster when you're drafting (especially if you're Ted), but we already have hybrid safety/corner players like Hyde anyway. I don't know much about this year's draft class but is he really the best available there considering you're looking to move his position? And beyond that, even though dimensions aren't everything it's not like he adds height, or even physicality for that matter, which we're lacking in our secondary.
I trust the Silver Fox though..

I don't want to lose TY.
But that new douche agent he got in the off-season will make things difficult.

EDIT:Actually Hurney is on record saying that he likes Shaq and probably would have picked him at 25 too.
So it's basically #ContractThePanthers

I'm sorry, but the Colts pick is brain dead to me.
The Colts already have Hilton, Moncrief, Andre Johnson AND Coby Fleener. They even went and got Gore in Free Agency. Why go Receiver in the first? And he's a shrimp to boot? Andrew Luck scored the most TDs in the league last year.
On top of that, the Colts D sucks ass. Hard. Their coach is a defensive minded coach that came from a defensive team, and you go 5'10" receiver in the first when your D is starving for impact players?

They did a great job IMO, very smart picks. I'm hopeful they'll pick up Randy Gregory in Round 2. If he can stay clean he'll be a terror, but dat New Orleans night life.

Titans fan here, I'm very very excited to have Mariota.
Nfl.com thinks Andrus was a mistake but solid OL players are quite important. I think if Shane and Randy didnt have character issues we would have gone for one of those first though.
it all starts on the lines. If Brees has that solid pocket again it doesnt matter who is out there receiving.

And Darrelle Revis is 5'11". Just sayin'.

Happy with Bud Dupree to the Steelers. They def need a young guy like this who can get to the QB. Now go fix the secondary in day 2.
