Apparently the tape was inconsistent or hot and cold on him, but with all the other pass rushers off the board, I thought Nick Perry was CLEARLY #1 player left for GB and I am glad TT saw it the same way LOL.

 

Hope they go RB in round 2.

 

For Fanatics….love Wilson ending up in NYG without Jacobs and with oft-injured Bradshaw!!  Hope Polk ends up in a good situation in round 2, don't expect Turbin or Pierce to go til later.

As a STEEZ fan I was very happy with the pick… & was even wanting them to jump up around 17 spot when there was 4 linemen that i though should have went sooner… He is a great fit for them… I think we may get one of the RBs you are talking about… would love for them to get a GOOD CB, but i think they are gone…

 

I was shocked at Clev moves… I think they blew picks & REACHED big time on CHRIS WINKI part 2…only team that screwed up more was Sea..Hillbillies in Seattle dont mix

 

I was shocked at the PATS moves but liked the players they snagged

Thanks for the math help

last yr, i didnt think any of the rd 1 QBs would ever reach Top 12 status (sry, Cam). this time, i think all the Top 3 will. i dont follow cfb, but i dont think enough credit is lent to how well Tannehill adjusted to WR when they went that way to "redshirt" him. that kind of athleticism & adaptability is EXACTLY what i look for in QBs and i dont think it was a reach and wouldnt be at all surprised if one day his name is mentioned ahead of one of the two field general taken in front of him.

 

the Brownies once again proved why they are worse than Girl Scouts by panicking @ 1.22. When Wright was taken, they could have taken a breath and seen that a roadgrader like DeCastro would be a more perfect compliment to their new tailback than Wright or the no-more-than-game-mgr talent of Weeden, who prolly would have been there @ 37. more evidence that Ron Wolf was most of the reason that Holmgren's noseduster has been so well-employed all the yrs.

 

is it weird that the Pats made their defense more stout & slow as they continue to form their offense in a way that requires teams to play keep-up?! How bout some real-skill turnover/drivekiller types, Billy?! As well as he exploits the desperation of other teams to wheedle pick value from them, BB's drafting STILL leaves a lot to be desired, except for unearthing 3rd-day talents.

Boom!  I'm happy with Fanatics

 

Luck to Indy obviously

 

Doug Martin to Tampa, should be the #1

 

Kendall Wright to Tennessee should be awesome!  

 

I'm digging my team now!  Time for Sanu to show up!

Glad that Lions added talent to the O-line in tackle Riley Reiff and didn't panic/reach for a CB.  I hope/expect them to draft for the secondary in rounds 2 & 3…

Hail, hail…

Ah yes, it just made too much sense… what Detroit really needs is an undersized WR.  It's not like we just drafted one of those last season in Titus Young. 

Ryan Broyles: all time NCAA leader in receptions, coming of a torn ACL, only 5'10 and doesn't appear to be that fast (4.57 forty at the combine).

Did Millen sneak into the draft room somehow.  Ugh… 

Hail, hail…

hated that Lions pick would have much rather (for their sake) taken CB or SS, but for GB sake I am glad they took an undersized WR coming off ACL injury lol

 

Ted Thompson trades up not ONCE but TWICE in the same day?!?  Who the hell took over his body and soul!?!

 

Love the DT pick, #1 guy left on Mayock's board when TT traded up to get him.  Not sure if he'll start in a rotation with Pickett and eventually replace him or just start right away?  They can move Raji around now to create mismatches too.  Love what they are doing for the pass rush, Perry on the outside opposite Clay, now Werthy inside to help start the rush from the inside out.

 

Mayock (for what it's worth) called the CB we traded up to get the CB with 2nd best ball skills besides Claiborne…Woodson getting older…Tramon didn't have a great year but injured his shoulder in Week 1 and was never the same I think…Shields is young but and has flashed shutdown ability and I actually have hope for the CB they drafted in rd 4 last year, Devon House 6'4 220 and super athletic, but I love the depth drafting at CB here.

 

Weakness of the team was clearly D last year, offense is young at all spots including OL so I am glad to see D/D/D in first 2-3 rounds.

 

What I REALLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLY want now is a damn solid RB. Plenty good ones left, surprised Lamar Miller hasn't gone yet, would like Polk too.  Imagine what Ds would do if they had to actually respect the GB run game?  They literally wouldn't know what to do, lol.

love Wilson's situation…no Jacobs and always hurt Bradshaw…

Turbin is one Lynch injury away from being the main RB with no RBBC/competition there

With Pierce, I drafted my own handcuff like 3 months in advance, that is really hard to do….NICE try Wally with the snipe, LOL.

Who knew Polk would end up with that condition, unfortunate cause most pundits had him as a chance to be a real difference maker at RB…word is Philly signed him as a UFA which means again one injury to Mccoy and he's the main RB there…gotta like that.

Kudos to the guys with Blackmon, Wright and Floyd, all ended up in situations with real chances to contribute, imo.

Well …   My deep keeper league listed below  ( Keep 7 ) every year ..

D.Martin going to TB -  Pretty muchs ends Blounts value 

L.Miller going to Mia – Puts a hurtin on D.Thomas's value …

Was looking at maybe making one of them my 7th keeper …..

Don't know if I will even consider keeping either of the two now ???

     Thoughts anyone ?               CB

Cam… I thought your top 7 was set in stone prior to the draft. It hasn't changed for me

Rivers, MJD, CJ, S.Smith, Nicks, Brown, and Hernandez.

1 QB, 2 RB, 3 WR, 1 TE, 1 RB/WR/TE

Eli, Roth

Alfred, Ridley,

Marshall, Cobb, Fitz, Garcon, Britt, DHB

Gronk, Olsen, Bennett

I am still working on that, but most requests I get is positional since many draft based on need.

LOL, when will ppl learn to stop falling for the hype that is the virigina tech rb

 

Also ryan tanneyhill reminds me of christian ponder, good college qbs but I don't expect much from them as a pro qb.

 

shane – I like hillman's talent but his situation isn't as great as you think.  He's 5'9 200lbs and runs a 4.43/40 which is all fine but last year the broncoes picked up mario fannin as an undrafted free agent and he's 5'10 235lbs and runs a 4.37/40.

So an undrafted FA from last year will beat him out?  I'm not a Hillman fan, but that is pretty ridic.

Pornwriter every year you do this.  You say player X is this big & runs this fast … so he should be able to do THE FAULK… when will you learn that size & Speed are not the only two pieces to your math problem… if so HUZZYAMOMA husain would have a huge contract…

Thanks for the math help
