That just highlights the need they have. Old man Foote is gone. Spence is a monster question mark. Timmons, while solid, didn't become a superstar nor is he a team leader. Vince Williams is incredibly raw. Who else is left, Garvin? He's a special teamer.

Don't get me wrong I love the pick. It's just that i've seen Timmons with too much responsibility and he's awful. He's a run and hit guy. He's not a leader, and you need a strong leader to make the calls.

Maybe' they'll throw the dot on Mitchell like chuck says.

Yeah, I think they know where they stand with Timmons after they tried to give him the duties. I'm sure they will come up with something...or maybe they feel Shazier is bright enough to catch on quick. I just hope the kid stays healthy.

Oh yeah, forgot they got him. Don't know much about him yet to see how he fits.

I'd rather have Martin than Donald. How much better is Donald than Langford? Meanwhile Martin would have been a huge upgrade for the OL and given an injury prone group a versatile piece

It seems like Fisher likes depth at line, but I'm not sold on Langford. Donald apparently thrives in the 3 set.

I wouldn't have wanted another offensive linemen in round 1. If anything I'm sort of upset we didn't grab something in the secondary (Fuller or Dix) or another target for Bradford. Cause those are some pressing ass needs right there. We can't score for shit.

look at the scouting report though:

Gabbert
has prototypical size and excellent speed for the position. Shows the ability to make the right pre-snap reads. Possesses a quick release and has the arm strength to make all the throws. Well-balanced passer that rarely misses on short-to-intermediate throws. Extremely mobile to extend plays and fast enough to move the chains. Vocal leader and hard worker.

#Titans RT @ClayTravisBGID Lewan has a worse criminal profile right now than Pacman Jones did in 2005 at time of draft. Let that marinate

This true?

I'm trying to fall in love with him. Might take me awhile.

I do like that he will push Moore to Will, which is a better place for him. I still want a big thumper MLB to play on run downs too.

Also Mack 'n Moore has a nice ring to it.

Ton of great players left. Hope Reggie doesn't take Carr, don't think he will. But who knows.

Oh I think they should have gone Evans/Watkins and then Martin. I really like Robinson, but like you said, they have to score. I just get sick of Fisher whining about the offense and then never really abandoning his DL fetish

I have to say, I love the pick by Dallas. Three of the last four years Jerry has drafted an offensive linemen. Rebuilding that great wall. Man...a tear just went down my eye.

Hoping for Hageman, I really want no part of Carr with that early 2nd

They could have reached for a defensive player, but I don't know. I think they played the draft very well, I mean Barr, Donald, and Shazier were gone. Besides a trade down, what else could they have done? Martin is a safe pick.

Ah okay. Yeah, I mean DL wasn't drafting for need, which is the worst part. We are stuck in the same shit position of 10-17 point games. Defense will be keeping us in it until halfway through the 3rd where our secondary gives up a big play, then Bradford fumbles.

Stacy is going to love Robinson though.

It's been a long day but when all is said and done I like the Ebron pick.

I still think we should've traded up to grab Watkins and offer exactly what the Bills offered, but I'm certainly happier with Ebron as an offensive playmaker than a DB.

Joe Lombardi coming from the school of Sean Payton was one of the most important factors in this pick. Our offense will be run Saints style with Ebron running routes out of slot, Jimmy Graham style.

The Lions fans bitching are hilarious. Who else were we going to pick? Deenard? Clinton Dix? Nonsense. We need offensive playmakers and Ebron is going to be a key part of that.

I really like the pick the more I think about it. It'll be very interesting to see what we do with our 2nd round, 3rd round and three 4th round picks but I expect at least one speed back akin to Sproles to help backup or take over Reggie Bushs' job.

Exactly. Inevitably the Rams DBs blow a play. Still no safeties and all the good ones are gone. Maybe Joyner? And Rams like that guy who can make plays and have an unimaginative OC. Should at least be Schotty and Sam's last year together

You need offensive playmaker yet defense has been winning SuperBowls lately. How are you going to defend Marshall and Jeffrey? Nelson, Cobb and Boykin?

I hope you're right. Like I said the more I think about it the better it sounds.

I certainly like it better than the Ziggy Ansah pick from last year.

Evans will be a hell of a receiver. But if Ebron is 50% of Jimmy Graham out of the slot the pick will be a huge success.

A tight end is a QBs best friend. So if Megatron is covered and Golden Tate is also covered I'm willing to bet 9 times out of 10, Eric Ebron will burn a linebacker trying to cover him.

His off field issues and attitude worry me though.

Heh, had no idea. :/ I was driving the whole draft essentially but still listening. Would have loved Watkins but Ebron is going to be a stud.

If people get fired after this year I have to imagine people would want to come coach here though. There's an excellent base to build off.

Once he comes into contact with that Pittsburgh hair, his bones will become brittle and his ligaments will become worn.

Rueben Randle has to pick up his game and not let Odell Beckham take over his spot. Granted I think all three will play a lot, but Randle has been wildly inconsistent with his route running so far. Maybe without KG's heavy option route system he won't have such an issue, we'll see.

I'm happy with the Mosley pick, although we definitely have other holes to fill. Apparently the Ravens had Mosley top 10 on their board, and they always go best player available (plus Ozzie loves his Alabama). I wanted a safety, but I now to Ozzie and all his genius. Plus Suggs, Darryl Smith, Arthur Brown, CJ Mosley, and Doom.....pretty solid.

Soooo... What do the Texans do at Qb ?
Click to expand...

The safe pick is Jimmy G or Derek Carr. I hope they stay from Zach so the Cards can draft him.

Jimmy has dem 'tangibles. He's a strong locker room guy that has a blue collar work ethic.

Derek has proyotypical size but his accuracy under pressure scares me. Plus, his last name is Carr. I don't trust a football playing Carr to be a leader like I don't trust someone with the last name Romney to not act like a pretentious douche.

BrownsGAF, allegedly we're looking at another QB in later rounds. Who are we picking?

Did Lovie Smith really say in an interview, that he didn´t pick a QB as he sees Glennon as the future of the franchise?
What is going on? I think I need a hug :(
