Think Colts will take: A. Luck, QB, Stanford
Want Colts to take: A. Luck, QB, Stanford
Don't want Colts to take: R. Griffin III, QB, Baylor
: P
Other rounds, it doesnt even matter, take best available because after round one when we address the QB position, we need everything else outside of a punter.

Want Eagles to take: Floyd, WR
Don't want Eagles to take: any QB

Fucking bandwagon fans!My first full season was in 2001 (yeah, late bloomer), the year the Panthers went 1-15...lol
Reported.
"Muy bueno!"
Cox won't be there at 15, I assure you. He's going to either the Rams, Panthers or Seahawks.
lol luckily I stuck with them and two years later we were in the Super Bowl (only to lose due to John Kasay and the Cheatriots videotaping

Yeah he seems to be the guy most mocks have going to them. Their pick this year seems super up in the air, even more then a normal year. I think the gap this year is so small in terms of guys after the top ten that it is going to be really hard to predict where guys will go.

ESPN's blogger mock had the Eagles trading up to 7 to take Cox. Then they had Kuechly to the Panthers at 9...ugh, worst case scenario for me.

If they take a RB at #23 it's a clear sign that they have major doubts about Leshoure and/or Best.
I could easily see them taking Doug Martin at #23.
I'd also love Kirkpatrick at 23 but he'll be gone long, long before. I also think J. Martin is snagged before Detroit picks, but he'd be a good addition to the OL.
Also, not sure why you wouldn't want a DE. Avril doesn't want to be in Detroit and KVB is getting old and can't make it through an entire season.

Yep, that sums it up.

I am so glad the Eagles traded for Ryans, I never liked Kuechly. He will be solid in the NFL but I want them to get someone that can be really good. I wonder how high his upside really is.
Usually don't have problems going to the Texans Draft party, but this year they actually ran out of tickets! (they are free).

Good to get back on track:
If the first round the Bears can go in a lot of directions, but most of the noise in the media has been towards the defense, so I'd have to guess.
1st round: DE to bolster the pass rush: Q. Coples if available, W. Mercilus, Chandler Jones, Upshaw from Bama, or maybe an outside chance at a CB like Stephon Gilmore or Dre Kirkpatrick
2nd round: Best available WR prospect: S. Hill, R. Randle, Sanu, or in a totally different direction maybe Nebraska LB Lavonte David if he falls to the 2nd round.
3rd round: best player available.

Yeah Philly has more long time loyal fans. They are great until they start throwing Durcell D size batteries at you.

I would take issue with them drafting a running back high (1st or 2nd round) three years in a row. A lockdown corner or a good O-lineman (GOSDER MUST GO!) would be a better use of that pick.
(Although Martin would give a tremendous boost to that scary offense.)
If they wait on the DL they could get a good DE after the first round. I think Mercilus drops to the early second and I see the Lions trading up to take him.

Cherilus had a really good year last year--not sure where the hate is coming from.

Its the stigma of his early career and the Millen era of drafting, really. I think he has played just fine under Schwartz and isn't the real problem. Its Backus, Peterman, and Raiola. Those 3 need to be gone. They are just terrible. Still would like to see Martin (or Cordy Glenn!) make his way to Detroit.

Cherilus has improved over the past few years but he still makes horrendous mistakes. Countless times last year I have seen him completely whiff on blocks in pass protection and leave Stafford open to big hits. I think he would be better served as a backup.
I'm sure if the Eagles draft him you'll find a way to like him, just like Jagr.
Batteries are expensive. That's what I call commitment to your team.

Cosell's Mock Draft. Some "interesting" decisions there:
http://nflfilms.nfl.com/2012/04/23/cosell-talks-mock-draft/
Gilmore and Jenkins off the board before Claiborne. Floyd off the board before Blackmon. To the Panthers and Bills no less.
Zeitler to Pittsburgh and Martin to the Giants.
(keep in mind that this is what Cosell would do if he were drafting. He's not projecting what teams will do)

It's really a BPA mock, he has Griffin first, he knows that won't happen.
Edit: I agree with him on Blackmon, he will kill in Gailey's system, not sure he's the best choice for the team, but it'll give Blackmon a chance for quick success. Felt that way for a while.

LOL, man you being ridiculous now. I like Jagr because the flyers only had to give up money to get him, and only 3.5 mill which was way less then most FAs got last year. They had a young team that need some veteran leadership which Jagr provides. From day one, when everyone was saying the Eagles would draft Kuechly I said I didnt want them to draft him. Not sure why you are so fired up about me.

Yeah, I like that it's different. Everyone says BPA but it's usually BPA that can also fill a need. I don't see Kalil getting past the Rams, won't get past 10 for sure.
haha, I'm just giving you shit because you're initial reaction was NONONO.
Honestly wouldn't be opposed to Floyd. I think he'll end up a better player than Blackmon, and while we did just extend Steve Smith, he's clearly got only 2, MAYBE 3 years left. I wouldn't be opposed to pairing the two up for a truly explosive offense with Floyd eventually taking over the #1 spot from Smith. We'd basically be Patriots South - explosive offense and a ragtag defense. Sure, it'll be hard to stop people, but if we can consistently put up 30+ ppg, you just need the defense to be semi-competent.

For popular teams all the good seats are already gone. Best bet is probably clicking like crazy the minute it goes up or paying out the ass for StubHub.
Ok I'll try to get one when they come out, but if not looks like StubHub has some for just around $100, which isn't that bad really.

Going the dream team route, good luck with that.
Personally don't see Marty Hurney taking Floyd, but if Cox isn't on the board, can't say I would be opposed to Floyd. After Cox, we'd probably be left with some combo of Coples, Gilmore, Floyd and Kuechly as legit options at 9 (if we can't trade down), and Floyd is as good as any of 'em.
