I LOVE Franklin. Great receiving back, will fit very well in Green Bay's offense.

Edit: I'm assuming Starks, Grant and Benson are all gone?

 

[BlackGhost]

Like the pick Packers

 

[squicken]

The earth just reversed rotation. Ted Thompson drafted 2 tailbacks.

McGinn wrote that they had an organizational come to Jesus moment on getting pushed around. Want to be able to run and stop the run vs SEA and SF

 

[chuckddd]

I'd rather have Franklin than Lacy.

I would rather have both. They will make a fantastic combo backfield.

 

[Lonestar]

Lacy to continue to share carries, which is for the better

 

[Mackenzie 92]

Would like Jessie Williams in 6th, doubt he's still around tho. Also love Ray Polk, big and quick hard hitting safety.

 

[Godslay]

Gholston went. Could develop into something good.

 

[Doorman]

William Gholston finally picked up, hooray local schools.

He should do well in Tampa.

His medical file must actually be on fire. I thought he could have gone early in the second round

 

[Mackenzie 92]

Lattimore would be nice as well.

 

[Lonestar]

I remember Goodman doing good work against LSU.

Starks has to be gone. Definitely not resigning Benson.

I like this pick much better than Lacy. It's just a shame (retroactively of course) that we took Lacy with our 2nd round pick when this is a great value. The two in tandem is whats pissing me off

 

[Godslay]

Lattimore would be nice as well.

I wonder if anyone picks him up? Maybe a really late round pick? 6-7?

Starks has to be gone. Definitely not resigning Benson.

Jason La Canfora ‏@JasonLaCanfora 7m
Packers follow their board and take RB Johnathan Franklin even after selecting Lacy. Thats the Green Bay way and it works very well

Why does Starks have to be gone?

 

[Lonestar]

SF got a good WR in Patton

 

[chuckddd]

Mike Tomlin is putting on a microphone!

 

[Godslay]

DEs are going, and SF picked up Patton. SF having a good draft too.

 

[MechDX]

Gonna play some Black Ops 2

 

[Futurevoid]

Nassib also an Eagles fan. Converting them to the right side with Nassib and Pugh.

We have 4 6ths so I wouldn't mind burning one on him.

I'm okay with taking both. Most teams need multiple running backs these days as workhorse RBs are few and far between. Also, they compliment each other very nicely.

 

[DeaconKnowledge]

[Alligatorjandro]

Who did the Patriots draft?

 

[Godslay]

I feel the same way. Most 4-7th rounders don't work out anyways, so why not take a chance on a guy like him?

 

[BlackGhost]

Dumb browns fans in the OBR overreacting like usual, I like the trade.

 

[Mackenzie 92]

Nice pick by Niners with Patton. His draft stock fell so much because he got shutdown by DJ Hayden haha

 

[Draconian]

I LOVE Franklin. Great receiving back, will fit very well in Green Bay's offense.

Edit: I'm assuming Starks, Grant and Benson are all gone?

Hopefully so. I long for the day where a good running play for us isn't getting stuffed right at the line and falling forward for a yard.

 

[TheFatOne]

Who did the Patriots draft?

TCU WR Josh Boyce

 

[MechDX]

Who did the Patriots draft?

Rutgers defense. All of them

 

[BlackGhost]

Dammit Simon off the board. And worse to the Ravens

 

[Godslay]

Ravens stole John Simon. Good pick.

 

[squicken]

Patton is good pick for SF. He's going to have to change his ways a bit, though. Really, really, really, mouthy

 

[brentech]

Just got back from a bike ride. Looks like more OL and RB competition today. That and the fact that both positions were severely injured last year, probably felt we needed the extra depth, but the same could be said for our linebackers at this point.

 

[Dutch Gronk]

Who did the Patriots draft?

Josh Boyce, WR, TCU.

 

[PhoenixDark]

This is an intreseting tidbit I got from DetroitLionsforum.com about our draft this year:



If Lions fans or other fans are wondering where our 4th round pick is we traded it to the Jags for Mike Thomas (WR) last year. It was a terrible, move but we were so depleted at WR last year due to injury and mental issues we needed to have Thomas just to have someone start at WR for us.

Thomas didn't do anything for us. I'm sure we could have signed someone off the street to produce as little as he did.

We could have had Jones or Okafor with that pick...

 

[Alligatorjandro]

Josh Boyce, WR, TCU.

Reading up on him he sounds like a good player at this point.

 

[Wes]

People on this Cleveland Radio Show are really hating on trading with the Steelers.

They wont be saying that next year. Fans are so fickle!

 

[Colasante]

Ravens stole Ninkovich 2.0, John Simon, from us.

And of course the 49ers do this. Only they could.

 

[eznark]

Love Franklin. Ted should trade Lacy to Chicago.

Pretty much, typical overreactions. I expect to hear about it Monday morning, ill just shake my head the whole segment. Grossi will probably go to down on this.

 

[Doomsayer]

Holy shit... we picked Lattimore?!

Total luxury pick, but I like it.

 

[Lonestar]

SF gets Lattimore. Congrats on retiring Marcus!

 

[squicken]

Lattimore to SF

 

[mr2xxx]

Redskins got two 5th round picks, this is where he will draft another RB that gets 1k+ yards rushing. Maybe he will get RG3 a rehab buddy with lattimore but more likely some guy that is unheard of and rated much later but everyone calls it a great pick because its Shanny and the ZBS scheme works wonders for 1 cut RBs.

Edit: good pick SF

 

[Wes]

Damn. That's a nice place for Lattimore.

 

[Tamanon]

Lattimore off the board. Man, he could be a beast if he gets healthy, at least he won't be expected to deliver immediately on the Niners.

 

[Dutch Gronk]

Reading up on him he sounds like a good player at this point.

Yeah, seems like a solid pick at this point. The predicted double dib at WR happened. I hope they get properly integrated into the offense.

 

[Godslay]

Hmm, thought Lattimore would continue to drop. Guy is incredibly hungry to return.

 

[JABEE]

I like the pick. I hope he can come back.
