I don't like the Cam Newton to Washington pick

that’s the consensus around the SBN Redskin’s blog, as well.

No Cam Jordan?

Pats will take him at #33. Hell, the Pats should have taken him over Heyward at #17.

Cam Jordan

I have Atlanta taking him at 26

Touchdown, Ronnie Brown Edition!

As a Panther fan

I like that you did something different with our pick. I would LOVE Pat Peterson @ #1!!!

With JJ Watt available the Jets wouldn't even think about drafting Taylor.

NT is a minor need. We need a player like Watt. Oh I understand you’re a Dolphin fan.

Fairley fell down to 11..

Bengals would take him lol

Hopefully my picture doesn't show my bias.

by C Byers on Jan 28, 2011 11:30 AM EST reply actions  

I agree

I think the Bengals would definitely take Fairley at 4. He could be a game changer for us inside… something we need pretty bad.

and past dallas at 9 as well

I dont think so…..dallas would not pass on him either

Tryon Smith doesn't fit Indy's profile for an early pick

Indy hasn’t taken a player with less than 4 years in college in the first two rounds since Edgerrin James, they’ve only taken a handful of players who weren’t seniors in that time and Donald Brown is the only one of their last 12 1st/2nd rounders who didn’t already have their degree.

Smith is a true junior who missed a bowl game because of academic issues. Castonzo is an athletic pass blocking LT who fits their preference for smart, experienced players far better (senior, biochem major and Rhodes Scholar nominee).

Choke/Clutch is the fetishization of the small sample size.

*Tyron Smith

Justin Tryon makes it hard for me to spell Smith’s name right.

I don't mind Robert Quinn at all at #9 for Dallas

but if Fairley is there I would be shocked if the Cowboys don’t pull the trigger on him.

+1

No way they take quinn if farley is on the board

Prince at 2? lol!

CB is not even as big of a need as DT, so if we get lucky enough for the Panthers to pass on Fairley I bet we do backflips and pick him. Prince does everything well, but the lack of elite speed gives me cause for concern

by DBroncs1414 on Jan 28, 2011 2:35 PM EST reply actions  

Unconventional is good

I like some of the different early picks. Peterson could be the #1. Don’t see the Jets going NT – Pouha is the future there.

by ct17 on Jan 28, 2011 2:44 PM EST reply actions  

CB at #1

and Nick Fairley going at #11? whaaaa

That is not a pic of me.

lions

Harris does not have nearly the value that ayers has for us at that pick.. we have 0 OLB currently on the roster..and 1 MLB

A lot of Lions fans disagree with you man...

Go Suns, Packers, Jays, and Huskers!

And go Shawn Watson and Barney Cotton! Seriously, leave Lincoln. Now.

Super Bowl here we come!

I don't like Ayers.

Watching his highlights, he’s always late to the play and misses a lot of tackles that NFL linebackers have to make. He might be an athletic freak, but he reminds me way too much of Vernon Gholston, Aaron Curry, and Derrick Johnson.

by toled0lions on Jan 28, 2011 10:26 PM EST up reply actions  

No way at all Fairley falls to 11.

Unconventional could be conventional

Given that we don’t really know where GMs are really going, a lot of these choices could happen. Fairley could fall, the Jags could take a corner instead of a rusher, etc. There WILL certainly be surprises. I’m betting Jerry Jones will surprise by drafting Ryan Mallet from his alma mater and the Giants go receiver, either with Arkansas’s TE or Baldwin from Pitt. May the fun begin…
