Email
PrintSo far, the biggest upset picks have come from the AFC West. KC took Tyson Jackson at #3. Oakland stunned the draft room so far by bypassing Michael Crabtree and taking Darrius Heyward-Bey. Denver bypassed several defensive players and took RB Knowshon Moreno.
The Jets traded up with the Browns and took QB Mark Sanchez.
And both John Bena and JasonB are there covering the draft LIVE from Radio City!
Funny update just now from JasonB after Brian Cushing was taken by the Houston Texans:
Cushing's entire family just stormed the stage from the cheap seats!
Chat away folks!
[UPDATE 6:08PM]: JasonB talks about press reaction to Tampa Bay trading up past Denver to get QB Josh Freeman:
We don't know why Tampa thought Denver would take Freeman
[UPDATE 6:18PM]: From John Bena:
Lions fans chanting defense in preparation for their pick

Browns
They get TB’s #19 and Cleveland’s 6th rounder. Looks like Josh Freeman is going to TB.

that would have been such a bad 1st round for them
2 first rounders and they don’t upgrade that wretched defense

Disagree. Denver just traded away a QB. IMO, gotta fix that first

That’s it. I’m done. Bucs are gonna challenge Detroit’s 0-16 record. That’s the only explanation that makes sense for me. I’m gonna go home and commit ritual suicide. Anyone got a samurai sword I can borrow?

What I need is napalm
Gonna nuke Ray Jay before the season starts so that we don’t have to live through the obvious debacle we’re about to have in Tampa.
…Alright, alright. I’m joking about the napalm, don’t call Homeland Security on me. But seriously, this is gonna be a wasted season for the Bucs. I haven’t been this mad so early in the year since 2004 when we took WR Michael Clayton and not RB Steven Jackson. Guess which one had the better career so far…? Sigh.
I still don't see 3-4 LB
in Ayers. Kiper says he’s athletic, but I don’t see it. If he were a good 3-4 olb prospect, he’d have more than seven sacks the past two seasons.
The Browns really don't want to pick today

I guess they are trying to get him some weapons to throw to but....
Really were there no defensive players worth taking there? Is Rey Maualuga not still there?

Well,
when you draft a qb first overall you got to get him some weapons. Then maybe draft a defense next year!
WOW

I'm really not feeling ESPN's team this year
Kiper’s good. I’ll deal with Berman. But why are Keyshawn Johnson and Steve Young the other main guys? Steve Young thinks every quarterback is great and sounds like he’s going to have a heart attack. I really wish I got NFL Network.

Patriots draft room is abuzz, fielding multiple calls for trades. Stay tuned.

They (maybe) could have gotten him at 36

Who is the most likely to draft Michael Oher?

Any chance on Cincinnati at #38?
We figure that Andre Smith could go to RT, which would mean we still could use Oher at LT. In other words, we still need talent on the o-line, as well as depth.

I would hope he wouldn't make it passed INdy
unless they pass on him for Jerry

I think they should post the names of the scouts that they have evaluating these players
That way we can know what morons are making these horrible value picks.

Heck yes they have two great LBers still left on the board

I don't think Jerry's a great scheme fit
I can think of at least three other players I want. He’s yours.

Oher to Baltimore is a little surprising
I thought Jared Gaither looked pretty good on the left side.
Centers
Which teams picking ahead of Cincinnati second-round pick appear likely to draft a center — another targeted need?

Kind of nonplussed
I was hoping for a big, run-stopping defensive tackle. He will help with our woeful pass rush.
Oher is definitely playing Right Tackle everyone
Ravens have the most young and athletic O-Line in the league now
You have to hate losing more than you love winning.
Pats back
Everrette Brown?

I am slightly
about Maualuga for sure. Matthew is good, I wouldn’t call him great. I’ll be very surprised if either is there at the start of the second round.
Guru says the Packers are back in the first round

NE is going to trade like 3-4 2nd round picks for Peppers!
I can dream can’t I?
I blog the Carolina Panthers at www.catscratchreader.com
That's nice
The biggest reaction all weekend will be for the color guard. These fans aren’t complete a-holes after all.
My man No. 2!
Matthews and Brown go back-to-back. I couldn’t have interviewed nicer guys. Pretty cool.
Eric Wood in round one
That’s kind of a stretch. He’s tough and strong and mean, but I just don’t see him as being a first-round talent.
Does Everette Brown fit the Titans scheme?
He’s probably the BPA.

Agreed.
I liked the old noon start time. However, I like the 10 minutes personally. Is the second round seven minutes?

How many Centers is that?
For a First Round, there’s been a lot of Centers taken…
Yeah, I know, just two so far. But even one going in the first is a big deal. :)
