I would actually be very okay with Claiborne but would still prefer Kalil. I think the Viking front office thinks similarly and the excessive claiborne talk is trade bait.
I feel like he will be a huge sleeper pick. I got to see a lot of him thanks to my sconi roommates. I actually hope the vikes grab him.
Browns would not pass on Kalil.
They have Joe Thomas? I wouldn't expect the Browns to take Kalil over Blackmon or Richardson.
Jaguars want to trade out. If somehow Kalil falls to them, they'll trade with someone who wants that franchise LT.
The Bucs would be really screwed if Claiborne and Richardson goes before them. Maybe they try to trade out too.
Theres no way the Bills don't trade up to the Jags slot in that situation and take Kalil, if the reports have any merit to them (that they seemingly desperately want Kalil).
Whilst that would be an obscene high pick for a RT, it's not out of the realm of possibility. We're in desperate need of a RT. Kalil played RT one year in college I believe. That OL would at least give McCoy time to find our receivers who haven't seperated from their defenders.

It's the Cleveland sports fan mating call.
Indeed. That's why I don't see how he doesn't land at either the Vikings or Bills. Do the Vikings not like Ponder much?
1. I will flip if you don't play your fucking series in The Show
2. Wasting that high a pick on a running back is asinine. Which is why I'm sure the Browns will do it.

I've been waiting to hear from the dude since Monday, sent him two PMs so far. As soon as I come home the PS3 is going to be turned on and I'm just going to be sitting there waiting for him to come online.
Other then dropping my buddy at the airport I'm setting aside my entire night to do this thing.

Again, how many teams have won a Super Bowl after drafting a tackle in the top 5?
You know why the Phins are so awful? Because they'll draft Tannehill. He's going to be another Blaine Gabbert and you all know it!

You better be getting a HOFer if you get a tackle at number 5.
On the plus side those guys have a high rate of success in the first and second rounds. They pretty much all contribute pretty quickly.
was a late 1st early 2nd before season but this year he was injured and couldnt hold on to a ball to save his life.

What will probably happen tonight:
"With the 23rd overall pick, the Detroit Lions select (best player available at the given time)"
What I expect will happen tonight post-Madden Curse:
Goodell: "With the third overall pick, The Minnesota Vikings select-" (Goodell suddenly gets this deer in headlights look and begins speaking in a monotone voice like he's being mind controlled) "We. have. a. trade. The Detroit Lions trade their entire draft to move up and select Justin Blackmon, wide receiver, Oklahoma State. All glory to the Hypno-Millen."
Draft crowd: "All glory to the Hypno-Millen." *slow, synchronized clap*
Matt Millen: *makes this noise for 20 minutes*

Wexell is high on Zeitler, and hes shooting up a lot of Steelers draft boards. The knock on Hightower is that hes just too slow to be matched up with Woodley (whos his cousin apparently.)
Didn't his 40 kinda suck? Just remember draft means shit. Hines was like the 12th wr taken and had 1000 career catches
STAY AWAY FROM ZEITLER HES OURS

Sounds good for me. Unfortunately Stafford will pass for like 7000 yards if they get blackmon.

I'd wager that probably half of the "Pro Bowl" receivers playing right now were drafted in the 2nd or later rounds.
He already has Megatron who is already a better version of Blackmon. I don't think receivers are a huge issue for Detroit.
Yup, total garbage at the combine.
Fun fact, the next three picks were: Barry Sanders, Derrick Thomas and Deion Sanders.

My semi-controversial opinion?
Linear speed is an overrated stat for wideouts. If you are quick and technically sound you will be fine.
Only one team passed on him. The Cowboys selected Troy Aikman. And although I hate to admit it, they did win a Super Bowl.
Damn it, I meant the following three teams you posted.
I dont think thats controversial at all, I think most will agree that 40 is rather overated for a wr and 10/20 should probably be looked at more.
For who? Barron?

A lot more teams are going to move up/be willing to move up now that Rookie salaries are somewhat manageable. Wouldnt be surprised if the Packers do it this year if they have a guy in their sights.
Tonight, the Chargers will do one of the following:
a) Move up to draft Barron
b) Move down in the first, take Nick Perry/Shea McClellin, move up in the second, take Harrison Smith
c) Stay at 18, pick Mercilus
d) AJ picks someone that nobody has ever heard of
I'd be ok with any of a-c, but I'm leaning towards d.

Bill needs to get Tommy a punter.
7 years from now when the London Vikings beat the Packers you are going to look so foolish when I quote this!
Theyll end up trading down to 14 with Dallas, thinking they can still snag one of "their" guys at that spot, except whoever "their" guys are will be gone by then and Ireland will just go with some random O-Lineman.
I think I might have actually liked Randy Mueller as GM over Jeff Ireland. Never thought I would say that.
I used to love that shit when I was a kid. It was cray how hard the Flacco level qb's tried to win while the Joe Montana's and Bubby Bristers of the world didnt give a fuck.
Damn life was boring before the Internet.
But wait, I thought the Bucs were moving to London?
You people are confusing.
