If you're interested...
So far,
Cam to the Panthers.
Von Miller to the Broncos.
Dareus to the Bills.
Green to the Bengals.
I hate the Bengals pick. Green is going to be great, but they had TO and Chad Ochoidiot and sucked. Getting a good receiver to replace a good receiver doesn't help your team.
-
Patrick Peterson to the Arizona Cardinals.

Patrick Peterson to the Arizona Cardinals.
I like it.
He and Cromartie are going to make some noise in the West.
-
Four of the first five from the SEC.

That was a good pick.
I also like Cam to the Panthers.
-
Hahahah the Falcons suck.
But 5 of the first 6 from the SEC. #winning
-
That was a good pick.
I also like Cam to the Panthers.
Me too.
Julio to the Falcons? Huge risk. Especially to trade that much. But with Matt Ryan there, I guess they want to ensure his success.
-
Aldon Smith to the 49ers.
Harbough's holding out for Andrew Luck next year.
-
Julio to the Falcons? Huge risk. Especially to trade that much.
HUGE trade up. Julio best play out like they are banking on because they gave up a lot of high round picks.
-

Apparently, the people that matter have alot of faith in him. FWIW, I think he has a better chance of success with ATL than with the Bengals. No excuses for failure now.
-
Jake Locker! Damn!
I like the guy and all...but shit.
-

I totally agree with that. Like THS said, with Ryan at Falcons the potential is there.
-
Damn, I thought Fairley was going to the Titans.
-
Looks like Fairley might drop big time...someone may pick him up based on talent and potential. But I'm not sure who in the top ten needs a DT. I'll most likely be proven wrong here in a minute.
-
Jake Locker! Damn!
I like the guy and all...but shit.
Looks like this is going to be another drinking year for this Titans fan...fucking Jake Locker...
-

Yeah...that's a huge risk. And not only that, they probably could have traded their 1st round pick and picked him up 2nd round or late 1st round.
-
Bills are a 3-4 team, Fairley wouldn't fit there. They made the right pick.
Also, in case you' haven't noticed, other than the SEC picks in the top ten...they all also have NC rings. Players win football games. You can talk scheme, playcalling etc...and that does factor in, but players win football games.
-
Tyron Smith to the Cowboys.
Exxxxxcccciiiitttttiiiinnnnggggg.
-
Yeah...that's a huge risk. And not only that, they probably could have traded their 1st round pick and picked him up 2nd round or late 1st round.
The labor situation means they can't trade players now, or sign free agents. That pick was probably dictated by need now, and the surrounding circumstances.
-
Gabbert to the Jaguars. Derp dee durp.
-
JJ Watt to the Texans.
Big pick for the Texans. Mario just got a new best friend.
-
There goes the second team I though Fairley would go to.
-
There goes the second team I though Fairley would go to.
I know it sucks for the guy, but this will probably be good for him in the long run.
If he is a question mark in terms of work ethic, giving him a load of money would be the worst thing for his future.
-
Nick is STILL on the fucking board?!!
Ugh. I need y'all to keep me updated with a quickness....at a freaking dinner.
-
Christian Ponder to the Vikings.
This draft is full of dumb.
-
Ponder to MN?
-
Ponder to MN?
In other news, Mallett sucks.

Wow. Football purgatory. Fairly now a resident.
Detroit…Rock City

The Detroit Lions's defensive line just got fucking nasty.
Suh. Fairley. STUFFED.

Fairley to the Lions! Wow!
Oh, and Mallet fucking sucks. Christian Ponder? LOL

That's not even fair. Holy shit.
-
Yeah...that's a huge risk. And not only that, they probably could have traded their 1st round pick and picked him up 2nd round or late 1st round.
To be honest, all of the remaining quarterbacks that were left for Tennessee's first pick would be risky, but I just dislike Jake Locker. Maybe it's because he is a Pac-10 player. Maybe it's because between flashes of brilliance, he displays long streaks of inconsistency. Maybe it's because his style of play makes him more prone to injury.
Again, none of the other remaining quarterbacks were particularly more impressive than the others, but I would have personally liked Ponder or Gabbert. Gabbert's overrated, but has potential...I guess. Ponder had an excellent showing at the combine and at the senior bowl. Just...any fucking body aside from Locker.
Fuck.
-
The Detroit Lions's defensive line just got fucking nasty.
Suh. Fairley. STUFFED.
And, probably great for Fairley...he won't arrive as "the guy". He'll have to work at it.
-
That's not even fair. Holy shit.
I mean, what the hell was going on in that war room?
"Well, we could fill some needs at corner, QB, or safety."
"Or we could draft Fairley and just fuck people up all year."
"Brilliant!"
-
Who the fuck is Christian Ponder?

He won American Idol a few years ago.

Robert Quinn to the Rams.
Good pick if he lives up to the hype. The Rams are going to be a good football team pretty soon.
-
Who the fuck is Christian Ponder?
Duh, he's been the QB at FSU for the last ten years or so.
-
Robert Quinn sat out last season and STL still picked him in the first round. That may be why they SUCK every year.
-
Duh, he's been the QB at FSU for the last ten years or so.
...and probably a pretty good sign that teams are scared of Mallet.
-
Ingram to Miami? Hmmm.
-
Suzy Kolber better get a body guard after that little bit she just did about Ingrams daddy. The Bammers will be looking for her.

I live in Atlanta. I gotta keep up! A group of friends have pool on who they will pick. I couldn't guess that good.
Oh he'll. I started watching late. Did I just see that they moved up and took Julio?
I gotta quit drinking!

The reason he said "dude...", is because the Falcons already picked Julio Jones.

Who in your friends group put money on the Falcons trading their draft (and the good picks from next year - 1st and 4th round) to trade up to the 6th pick to grab Julio Jones?
Cause I want that guy to pick my next lottery numbers.

Prince Amakurandamakongugakong (CB from Nebraska) to the Giants.
Big pick for the Giants.

Giants took a prince.

Oh sir, the Giants of New York took on the Packers of Green Bay. And in the end, the Giants triumphed by kicking an oblong ball made of pigskin through a big "H". It was a most ripping victory.

Adrian Clayborn to Tampa Bay.
Not bad. Big dude. Doesn't scare me as a Saints fan. He won't get to Brees fast enough.
-
Over/Under on Ingram leaving the green room complaining about a cramp/hip injury?

Ingram where you at boy?
On Endor, with all of the other Ewoks. The only thing slower than Mallett is the time it takes Ingram to complete interplanetary travel, which is a negative for many NFL teams who expect him to show up to practice on time.

I wonder how many times Saban has cussed him for taking so long to get drafted.
You think Dareus, Jones, Ingram, and Saban are all headed out for an evening of jazz and martinis after the draft?

Saban's going to have to explain that face. It definitely did not look like a "pleasantly surprised" expression. It looked more like, "What the fuck?"

Chaos at the draft...they missed Baltimore. Chiefs made a pick. Baltimore's coming back in. Craziness.
-
Some important dude really pissed off right now. Banging his fists on the table. Screaming into the phone. Keeps picking up different phones.
The NFL Network guys are having fun with it though.
-
Jonathan Baldwin (Pitt WR) to Kansas City.
Lots of dudes pissed off at the draft. I think someone fucked up.
-
Now KC picks Jonathan Baldwin at 26. 26 was supposed to be Baltimore?
-
Ravens get Jimmy Smith (DB from Colorado).
Ravens passed their pick? But still got to pick?
Strange events here at Radio City.
And supposedly the Saints traded with the Patriots. Probably for Ingram. Shit.
-
Jimmy Smith. Ravens at 27.
Saints and Ne trade. Saints take Ingram.
-
FUCK.
Saints trade a 1st round pick next year and take Ingram. I let my team down. I could have warned them....

FUCK. Ingram to Saints SUCKS
Do NOT want another pussy on that team.

It wasn't fake. He was actually injured and would have run 200+ yards against Auburn if he hadn't taken that dirty hit.
Wait what?

Damn. Ewok in NO. Black Wendy in ATL.
Can't Escape these guys!

Carimi to the Bears. Big pick for Chicago. Too bad Cutler is a sissy.
-
PERFECT!
I fucking loathe the Saints. Archie Manning can suck my entire testicle sack. Reggie Bush can blow a sherpa.
I liked them for one season when they had Swilling and some other guys and were good on defense.
The rest of the time? Fuck the Saints.
I was probably the only person in the world hoping like hell those fucks didn't win the Super Bowl.
Hate the Saints.
Now I've just got one more good reason to loathe the fuckers. Hope they lose every game.
Amen.

Again, I am NOT happy about it. But the general concensus I am reading is
JAKE LOCKER?? WTF?? They wasted a first round pick on a guy they could have picked up for second/third round money? Shitty management.
At least Ingram is going to a winning team. Fuck the Titans.

Yeah, it was a shitty choice. Whether or not they could pick him up later doesn't matter to me; I just wish they didn't pick him at all.
Given the recent progression of events, they needed to pick a quarterback. Waiting until a later round to see if Locker or anyone else was around would, in my opinion, be a bad decision. They knew they needed a QB, they knew they were going to draft one, so...why not do it in the first round? Even Ponder and Gabbert went pretty quickly afterwards, and neither of them were expected to go before Locker. So I don't think waiting until later would have been the right solution. Unless, of course, they wanted Mongoloid Mallett, but it's still a toss-up in my mind as to whether that would have been worse than Locker.
My gripe is just that it's Jake Fucking Locker. :facepalm:
Yes, Jake Locker's a bad choice in general...but at least we don't have to clean up fur and menses in the locker room. :poke:

Derek Sherrod (OT from Miss State) to Green Bay to end the first round.

Alabama had 4 picks in the first round.
Auburn had 2.
LSU had 1.

Maybe they can earn enough money to buy Ingram a set of balls.

Even Ponder and Gabbert went pretty quickly afterwards, and neither of them were expected to go before Locker.
Blaine Gabbert was expected to go high, higher than Locker. Mike Mayock had Gabbert as the best QB in the history of the NFL Draft, in the History of the NFL period.

Ideally? Yes. Realistically? No. Because of the order of the draft, a few teams who needed a QB and who were seriously looking at Locker over Gabbert had higher picks than those teams that were more serious about Gabbert. It was pretty much widely reported that Tennessee was either going to go with Fairley or Locker.
Jacksonville scheduled a pre-draft visit with Locker, but not Gabbert, and thus there didn't really appear to be any interest in Gabbert from the Jags. It makes sense, considering that Jacksonville's offense has centered around Garrard, a rushing QB, and Gabbert just can't run; Locker can.
Similarly, Minnesota brought Locker in for a workout after seeing him at pro day, but didn't do the same with Gabbert (or at least I don't recall them doing so). I'm not sure why, although I do know that various NFL coaches and personnel have stated that Locker's attitude and leadership personality were causing them to reconsider moving him up on their QB list (his "intangibles," as they called it), so maybe this is what Minnesota saw.
So yes, Gabbert was, in theory, poised to be the most "talented" QB, and thus would theoretically go higher in the draft, but in reality, the teams that needed QBs and picked early just weren't as interested in him, so no one (at least not me) realistically expected Gabbert to go higher than Locker. This is especially the case given that Tennessee showed an extraordinary amount of interest in him, and Tennessee was the team with the earliest draft pick who desperately needed a QB (after Carolina, obviously).

I agree, Locker is shitty but not as shitty as Blaine.
'cause if you ain't number 1, you're number 2...ain't nothin shittier than takin' a number 2.

Fairley is great pick by Lions. They just became "Fearsome."
Minnesota fucked up. They might as well of taken the baseball playing QB from Clemson not named Ponder or even the kid from Nevada that could play WR.
I like the Wholeo choice as a short to intermediate, crossing option for Ryan. That helps!
Titans have been falling faster than all others. I like the Locker choice though it is a strange one. I'm not a Gabbert fan. Mayock made him out to be better than Matthew Stafford and I don't see it.
Ingram will learn to drop that desperation screen from Brees. Bush certainly did.
Greg McElroy is beside himself.
I hope he takes an AD position at "the university" so I don't have to listen to him on JOX.
There's a ball boy position open in Carolina if he wants to earn his spurs in the big leagues.

Fairley to the Lions is a phenomenal pick up for them. I know it's hard to imagine but the Lions are threatening to climb out of the cellar.

Cowboys fucked up picking up a OL with the #9 pick. They have the 6th rated offense in the NFL (most of the season without their starting QB), but are 26th on D against the pass.

I think the more appropriate question is, how much defense is needed to make up for no offense? I'm pretty sure that their entire offensive roster is either slightly retarded or prone to injury.

At this time, your honor, I'd like to enter into evidence Defense Exhibit 8, the 1992 Alabama Crimson Tide.
The Prosecution would like to point out that the 1992 Bama team included QB Jay Barker (Golden Arm Award, 5th in Heisman voting), WR David Palmer (All-American, 3rd in Heisman voting), RB Derrick Lassic (no notable awards, but 905 yards in rushing for the season), and various other solid offensive players which allowed the Tide to average 362 yards per game and 5 yards per play. Their defense was stellar, but was not the only strong point of the team.
Meanwhile, the Lions have an RB who only accumulated 555 yards last season, a starting QB in Stafford who only threw for 535 yards largely due to missing games from injury, and an offensive line that allowed 44 sacks. Calvin Johnson's only year in which he hasn't been injured was 2010 (aside from his 2007 rookie year in which he played one game), and Pettigrew, while a good tight end, has problems dropping the ball. Led by Matthew "Glass Shoulder" Stafford and an O-line that can't block, I just don't see the offense being able to assist the defense in the way that the 1992 Alabama team did.
-
If they address the line, Stafford is going to be a huge part in getting that team back to respectability.

Not all successful college QB's go on to do well in the NFL, but it doesn't mean that they weren't successful in college. Cases in point: Todd Blackledge, Andre Ware, David Klingler, Ty Detmer, Heath Shuler, Tim Couch, Vince Young, Matt Leinart, and Ryan Leaf.
Despite the fact that Barker didn't cut it in the NFL, this doesn't change the fact that he excelled at the collegiate level and was part of the reason that Alabama did well in 1992.

Has nothing to do with his lack of pro success. Nothing. Also has nothing to do with the fact that he was knocked senseless as a member of the Birmingham Bolts (large guffaw).
He did not excel at the college level. He was a barely functional quarterback who had no arm and no ability to run. Plus? His teammates loathed him. Their hatred of all things Barker is why they felt no remorse running trains on his girlfriend who became his tennis ball gobbling wifey.
And now he's the most sanctimonious double cuckold douchebag on the radio. Zero talent, big mouth.
Fuck Jay Barker. And his tennis pro banging ex.

At this time, your honor, I'd like to enter into evidence Defense Exhibit 8, the 1992 Alabama Crimson Tide.
Exhibit 9: The 2000 Baltimore Ravens.

I'm not claiming that Barker was some god-like one-man army that raped and pillaged entire defense's with only his left testicle. But I think it's a little extreme to say he had zero talent when he put up pretty good stats and won awards based upon his performance. The major point here was that Alabama's defense in 1992 had some offensive talent to help the team out; they weren't doing it all by themselves.
-
Exhibit 9: The 2000 Baltimore Ravens.
Now that's a better example. The Ravens' offense didn't have many big name players, aside from Trent Dilfer (sort of). But they did manage to put up decent offensive numbers, as they ranked as the 14th best offense and were 14th in points scored. The Lions ranked 15th in both categories in 2010, but their defense ranked 19th, unlike the Ravens' number one ranked defense. I don't know that the addition of two rookie defensive phenoms (one of which is just conjecture right now) is going to skyrocket their defensive ranking so that it's comparable to the Ravens in 2000, although it's possible.

Jay Barker's best season, 1995: 12 GP 139 Comp 226 Att. 61.5% 1996 Yds. 14 TD/5 Int 166.3 YPG, 8.8 YPA, 151.7 QBR
Got him invited to NY for the Heisman ceremony, where he finished 5th.
Compare to Weurffel's Heisman/NC winning numbers the very next season: 207 of 365 57.5%, 3625 Yards, 39 TDs/13 Ints.
Not even in the same ball park.
Barker is a douche and a hack at QB. He was lucky enough to be on a team surrounded with talent, mostly on the Def. side of the ball. And being so naive, he married a whore thinking she was chaste. He got what he deserved as far as I'm concerned.

The others are arguable, but its pretty known that Klingler, Ware and Detmer were system QB's. Fucking Run n Shoot bullshit.

Detmer played at BYU, in a college version of the WCO. Pretty much the same as Steve Young played in.
The other 2, yeah.

From everything I hear people saying about Barker, I'm glad I have no access to hear him down here in the Wiregrass..the Circle City...the Axis of the Universe.

Bingo
-
Dowling to Patriots.
Aaron Williams (Texas CB) to Buffalo.
Andy Dalton (TCU) to Cincinnati.
Mallett still smoking meth.
-
Colin SuperTall from Nevada to San Francisco.
Another QB gone.
Mallett still drinking Natty Lights in his trailer.
-
I am about mallet as I was about Ingram.
No Mallet does not look like an Ewok.
But... He has one major flaw.
Ingram is a quitter. He's fine as the friont runner. But hit him in the mouth? He needs a diaper and pacifier.
Mallet is a loser. Time and time again when Arkansas needed him to make a play to win a game, Mallet choked like George Michael on a bag of dicks. He can make throws but he cannot win under pressure.
I wouldn't draft either a pussy or a loser.
-
Not sure I'm going to keep up with this one. Not feeling it now that the big Auburn guys are off the board.
Sheard to Cleveland.
Ryan Williams to Arizona.
Akeem Ayers to the Titans. Big pick up for Tennessee.
Bruce Carter to the Cowboys.
Jarvis Jenkins (Clemson DT) to the Redskins.
Da'Quan Bowers - Texans. (Strange considering they took JJ Watt and have Mario Williams.)
Kyle Rudolph to the Vikings
Titus Young to the Lions.
ESPN.com had a typo.
Brooks Reed went to the Texans.
-
Raheem Moore to Denver.
-
THS, I've been out and busy, has have we had any more drafted?
-

Not any yet.
Mallett goes 10th pick in the 3rd to the Patriots.
Bowers went to the Buccs late in the 2nd, I think, may have been early 3rd.
-
I'm having a hard time understanding why Zeimba isn't being looked at or mentioned with the other big time prospects. Is it because of my orange and blue glasses?

Last I heard, he didn't test well, and he struggled a lot at the Senior Bowl - or whatever all star game he participated in.
I'm surprised he didn't go in the 3rd round though. He may need some work, but he's still an experienced, talented big man that has never been seriously injured.

I halfway expected Ziemba be taken later. Everyone can't be James Carpenter. How do they explain it? ..."and he can play guard and tackle." Well Big Z is a TE. He looked like a giant hailing a cab but he did line up there. Pugh's going to make it too just like Chris Gray did playing all three spots but our guys just aren't wowing anybody.
I don't know, I'm waivering on the Wholee pick by the Falcons because it took awhile for the loss of picks to set in but the Falcons really only lacked two pieces last season and I start to think about his injury prone career and how that might worsen (if it's roids) plus he had many so-so games where he all but disappeared, the T.O. effect. And Atlanta could have done the same for homeboy A.J. Green and didn't.
GH
Dallas did not go after Prince Amankara -eh as expected and took a tackle, where I remarked somewhere around the third or fourth game of 2010 that they would take Ziemba in the fifth round. He could now end up at Washington with 12 picks, who knows?
K
I think Jay Cutler is the quitter.
The only problem I have with Mallett is he is a stationary target when defenses bring the heat and he'll toss a dying quail up for grabs. But he might become the next project (Matt Cassell) and eventual trade bait at New England and I think they see some added value in this choice.

He was projected as a late rounder...4th or 5th. I thought originally he'd go higher too. Ziemba doesn't come from poor white trash...his situation could be lack of motivation. He's projected as a RT...he just isn't a well polished product, and you can't carry a bunch of reserve OL on an NFL roster. A drafted OL has to come in and play well now.

Ok I can understand that, so what about Pugh? He seems to me like a much better choice for C than Pouncey.
-

Size I would bet. And Pouncey got ripped by fans for bad snaps early last year, but he'd been playing G his whole career next to his brother. A good shotgun snap doesn't just happen, it has to be practiced...a lot. I suspect the UF staff didn't pay close enough attention that detail when they moved him. It's an oversight any coach at that level could make, just assuming he can do it. Pouncey is very good and is bigger.

Pugh isn't even listed among the "draft prospects" on NFL.com.
OTOH, it makes me wonder about Ziemba. 8 OL have been drafted that graded lower than him. A grade NFL.com uses that it says is: "Expert assigned grade based on estimated Draft quality"
He's currently the highest rated available OL left.
The highest rated OL was USC's Tyron Smith, with a grade of 8.3. Ziemba's grade is 6.0. LSU's Joseph Barksdale was taken in the 3rd round with a grade of 4.9. FSU's Rodney Hudson was taken in the 2nd round with a 6.2 grade. Some of that factors in to whether they're Gs or Ts I guess.
Makes me wonder if the NFL guys detected a lack of motivation in Ziemba.
-
Maybe he actually got drafted on Wednesday night.

I agree JR.
A childhood friend of mine's brother at 6'8" and 290 turned out to be a tremendous left tackle protecting Dan Fouts many years ago, very similar in stature and movement to Z, every bit as durable, with lengthy reach and foot movement though lacking in nastiness. I still think Ziemba makes it.
-
Looking like a real stupid move by Darvin right now. He would have been THE guy next year. First option. But whatever.
-
How many people from Clemson have been drafted? Why did they suck so bad?
-
Ziemba, Adams and Powe should be among next couple of dozen according to several draft blogs I'm eyeing.
-

Yep, seems so. FWIW, his draft grade wasn't good. 4.5 or something like that. Mario Fannin was a 2.0. LOL

Indy has a pick coming soon, New England too.
Manning needs protection and
Welker needs understudy.
-
Damn, Atlanta drafted a punter.
-
And Fairley will excel because he will be next to Suh...but Dareus is the best ever because he eats blockers. No contest according to ESPN analysts.
-
Todd McShay showed a video of him dominating LSU and slamming a guy. Said something about him having great hands. Then he showed another clip where Fairley busted through the line, the QB dodged and started a throw falling back and Fairley stopped and put his hands up to block the pass. McShay called that "taking a play off"
Fucking IDIOT.
I call that doing what you're coached to do. The pass will be off before you can get there. Don't risk the roughing the passer call. Square up, get your feet under you and try to knock it down.
Perfectly executed, IMO.
McShay is a fucking moron. How do these motherfuckers have jobs?
-
In case you assholes aren't watching, Zach Clayton got drafted to the Titans. 7th round.

Ummm were we watching two different shows? Because the play that McShay said that Fairley took a play off on he stood straight up out of his stance and didn't move at all. That's taking a play off.

Regardless if that's they play that he was talking about, McShay has no clue if that's the Defensive Call in that particular play. I seriously doubt that dumb mother fucker has ever played football, nor realizes that some defensive calls have the DTs to go zone.

What was the play? Against who? What was the score? I can cherry pick video of any player that shows what I choose to believe about them. Fuck McShay in da mouf.
The Detroit fans are much pleased, and the fans of the teams that play them are worried about their QBs.

There I cherry picked McShay from Feb.16th.

:bs:
I take back my comment about Julio Jones being a good pick in the aftermath of them closing out by choosing a punter. They obviously think they can gain a small lead, punt and play defense for the next few seasons (minus four picks) and I now think the Falcons make a fine permanent runner-up in the NFC South.
