He's a big boned linebacker.
Crazy.
I get pissed off with Buddy Nix and his refusal to trade down unless the deal is too good, but what happened to the Rams is the reason he always gives. IF you can guarantee the guy I want is still there after a trade down I'll do it, if not it's too risky.
This is great - how ESPN covered the NFL draft in 1981:

It was basically in a hotel conference room.

Wildcard berths that can't beat teams without a winning record should have homefield advantage
NFL Network's coverage of the draft was amazing last night and did NOT have the douchebag 'insiders' trying to tip picks under the guise of 'guessing,' which is apparently what ESPN's guys were doing all night.
It was so nice to see guys like Mayock legitimately not know and even miss on his predictions. Brought the suspense back, and I loved it.

Its good to see that GURM is busy not writing the only thing that he should be writing.

Snes probably remembers that like it was yesterday.
They say they had no interest in Floyd. But if they really wanted blackmon or richardson, they needed to move up. Now I don't think either of those guys are top 5 talents, but the Rams are so desperate for offensive talent, sometimes need has to overrided BPA.
Yeah they just got too cute. They say they wanted to stockpile picks, and I think it bit them in the ass. They scored about 10 pts a game last year and have done nothing to upgrade the offense through FA and Rd 1. That's bad
Yup, I enjoyed the NFL Network's coverage.
So, basically I'd be happy because there is no way Wilson lasts that long.
What do you think of Gilmore?

I didnt see this posted here but I thought it was interesting. Surprised to see Vontaze be so open:

Moore vs Garrard vs Tannehill: FIGHT!
Hey, I'm not THAT old.
They also were extremely inept at stopping opposing running games. Could just as easily state the Rams suck for not addressing that in the 1st round, if they'd gone another route.
No reason to freak out. 3 picks in the next 13 belong to the Rams. Plenty of chances to do something about the offensive problems. Expect WR, OG, OLB in these three picks. That's four gaping holes addressed in the first 2 rounds.
Disappointed in GRRM, way to fold, such a craven!
Still some offensive talent on the board, team is set up nicely. At the very least they get some defensive help. Should be a run on WR early I'm guessing. Know the Bills have their eyes on Brian Quick but probably take Martin if he drops.
I liked Culliver and Gilmore when I watched them play, Culliver's surprised a lot of people.
Gilmore's probably the best off man corner in the draft, but he's got issues with double moves, when your eyes are in the backfield as much as his are you're going to get torched from time to time. Great tackler though, have to be if you play off-man, will help against the run. Not a bad pick, I wanted another pass rusher to be honest, needed a CB though.
We'll see how he does, lots of man under in Wanny's scheme, so he's going to have a safety behind him a majority of the time. Won't be asked to sit outside by himself.
Edit: Best bet, he's Antoine Winfield with speed.

As a jilted WVU student I have to back up my man Bruce Irvin(maybe a little late)
At least seven teams had Bruce Irvin in top 15
And if anyone thinks his past is a problem:
West Virginia prospect Bruce Irvin ditches burglary, drug game for shot at NFL
Keep in mind we ran a 3-3-5 while he was here(finally going 4-3 this year!) So every play was 3 D-Lineman against 5 O-Lineman. He still managed 14.5 sacks in 2010, and 8.5 in 2011, impressive given that everyone started doubling him in 2011.

So...his past is a serious problem then.

Did you read the article? He's stayed out of trouble for 4-5 years and he's got his head in the right place.
Yes.
That's what Aaron Williams is supposed to be, and we got him in the second round last year.

LOL at him saying he gave up drugs and armed robbery and that being good enough for 7 teams to put him in their top 15. NFL players drop all the time in the draft for smoking weed, and Dez Bryant dropped because his mom might have been a prostitute and Deion Sanders bought him lunch once. No way did 7 teams have a guy with this kind of baggage that high.
He was arrested in March.

Browns will be 1st in rushing yards next season.

Browns should trade McCoy to New York.
And will lose 12 games.
Nine rushing yards a possession adds up!

I've said it already but the Vikings shined in round 1.
They even traded back into the bottom of it to grab Harrison like I predicted.
Now if they can grab a CB or WR in the second I will be extremely happy. Later on maybe grab Toon as well. Lots of potential moving forward.

Vick + McCoy will put up a lot of yards next year to. Hopefully those are all McCoy yards though.
Who's the best WR prospect left? Randle?

Charges were dropped. He had allegedly knocked a Pita Pit sign off a delivery car. No Pac-Man Jones here

I think the Rams will grab Hill with there pick.
Oh well then, totally fine. People go around vandalizing delivery cars all the time. Surely this means he is a fantastic decision maker with "his head in the right place" who will be a pillar of society when he gets hundreds of thousands of dollars in his pocket.
Guy seems like a real piece of shit. Thank you for the article, now I will know to laugh at whoever drafts him.
...Seattle drafted him 15th overall.

I don't think Irvin was doubled all that much, it wasn't necessary. Do agree that the scheme held him back, shouldn't be rushing from a 3pt stance, should be moving around or up in 2pt stance, easier to set up tackles up with the threat of a speed rush only to loop back inside on a stunt while the guard and center are occupied. That's his game, run to daylight, though he really didn't show it at WV because it's not what they do on D.
Yeah, I wasn't too happy about that pick but he showed me something. Main problem I saw from him last year, and it happened in both games against the Pats, he was playing the ball more than the man. Twice he thought he had the angle for an INT, jumped it early and it ended going for a TD, though they weren't long touchdown, inside our 30 and one inside the 20. If he hung with the man he would've broken it up.
I like Rogers and Searcy too. Hope we get a good one today, I kind of want to go D again but poor Chan needs some weapons as well.

Just a heads up for Viking fans, Smith and Kalil will be addressing the media on the team website in a couple minutes.
What's the over/under on one of them slipping and saying how excited they are to play in LA?
