If Ayers and Wilson
are at 21 and 20, I want the Giants to draft them.
Also, I doubt Fairley falls to 8
mmmmm.... delicious
Ayers
is falling with his poor combine performance, this is where I’m expecting to go, somewhere around here.

what..?
If they’re are chosen immediately after the Giants pick, I’d much rather have them
mmmmm.... delicious
I don't think Ayers falls too far
He plays faster on tape than he ran. Scouts do not just ignore players’ speed on tape.

Thank you…someone who actually gets it. Now please start slapping all the people who suddenly have Wilson going in the middle of the first round.
"Aristotle was not Belgian. The central message of Buddhism is not 'every man for himself.' And the London Underground is not a political movement. Those are all mistakes, Otto. I looked 'em up."
Much rather have Wilson then Tyron Smith.
Actually I’d rather forefit the pick then pick Tyron Smith.
Last night, a comedian died in New York. Somebody knows why. Somebody knows
I seriously do not understand why you would hate Tyron Smith so much
I understand if he’s not your first choice, but he’s easily a first-rounder. Honestly I doubt he makes it to the Giants’ pick.

DANNY WATKINS!?!?!?
Are you kidding me? With Kerrigan, Taylor, and Williams on the board? Has to be the worst Jets pick I’ve seen so far.
Kerrigan
will go higher
See Ball, Get Ball. Quarterback Has Ball, Sack Him.

Much Higher
People stop this dance, Say damn this persons fascinatin'
We blowin' dro up in the air, You smell it?
That's the fragrance, I got the focus, got the heart
And I got the patience
Kerrigan had a good combine, correct?
Not to mention the fact that a lot of teams are looking for DE in the first round…
Especially the Bucs. I don’t think LB Wilson gets taken over DE Kerrigan. The Bucs LB corps is not that bad compared to how poor the D-line still is.
The 2010 Bucs: Considering their two-minute offense works wonders... Why can't EVERY offensive drive be run like that during the other 58 minutes of the damn game?!
Yeah he had a really good combine
came in at 6’3 267. Which is right around Dwight Freeney’s size. I know some look to him as an OLB in a 34, but I watched him for the last 3 years. He does his best work rushing the QB with a hand in the ground.
Purdue tried him out in special roles as a LB type last season, and he did not look to reat at it, but that could be just from lack of experience.
I personly can’t wait to see what he can do when he is not getting doubled and trippled teamed for most of the game like last year due to not having any one else that was a threat to rush the passer.

I think Denver will take Fairley at #2 if Carolina passes on him.
My vote would be to move back 5-6 spots and draft whoever is left of: Fairley, Bowers, Dareus, Peterson, Amukamara, or Von Miller. I’ll even throw in Robert Quinn.
With Julio Jones running a 4.39 at the combine, he is going to go to Cincy or Cleveland and AJ Green going to the other.
No DE please for the Steelers
We don’t really have room for one

Steelers top need is CB. Super Bowl loss proved it.
the Steelers had a good season because teams tried to run it against them. But the Packers came out and threw the ball about, what, 50 times before they even made their 10th rushing attempt? The Steelers may have the best hair in the league for their secondary, but they don’t have a shut-down corner like they should.

Ike Taylor can shut players out, it’s just that their #2 and #3 absolutely cannot play cover defense. That is why I am hoping the Steelers double dip at CB with Harris and Dowling

Wrong
Everyone just screwed running and decide to throw. Only 333 runs were attempted against us. You guys had 444 and Buffalo was last with 571. The difference was the Packers WR corp is the best in the NFL.

only a serious problem against the top QB's in the league
Brees, Brady, Rodgers picked the secondary apart. Need to be able to beat these guys and put lesser teams away convincingly. It’s clearly the place on defense in need of upgrade. Track record drafting there is pretty poor unfortunately.

The only top CB to run faster was Peterson.
Still think he’s too slow?

Meh on Dareus
I like Fairley better

As a Giants fan, I'm fine with it. As the others have said, ayers and wilson are fine too

Cam Newton to the Redskins
is still solid altho I was disappointed in his Combine performance, I really thought he would be a better passer
I think Newton is still figuring out the footwork
He’s going to take some time to be ready to start (which may be difficult, given the likely possibility of an extended lockout).

I don't mind PP for the Bengals, but I like Fairley way better.
"I bet that sex Bengals fan is really pissed now." -DT3428
Didn't even get to the Eagles
Saw Fairley fall to 8 and realized this one isn’t flying whatsoever.
Currently searching for a better signature.
Torrey smith at 15 to miami?
With marshall bess and fasano?
Guns dont kill people. Brian Urlacher kills people.
Panthers may not need DE as much as they need DT and CB
I suppose it depends on the FA market, but the scouting I read on Carolina suggests they need CB first, DT second, QB third. There’s no value pick for QB (Gabbert may be good but not great), so it’s either CB or DT, especially since the talent boards have Peterson and Fairley at the top of the pool.

Do you think Rice will resign?
I know Rosenhaus said he would test the market, but he never ruled out Rice going back to Minny

Just a couple things
I think Nick Fairley cemented himself as a top 5 pick. He showed up a bit light, but even then he showed some good power in those DL drills. I still value him ahead of Dareus.
I can’t possibly see Aaron Wilson as a top 20 pick. I think he’s a fringe first rounder at best
The one thing Torrey Smith has had going for him is his elite speed, and he didn’t show it. If he ran a 4.4, I could see him as a top 20, but after this weekend I don’t see him as a top 20. Also didn’t show good route running ability.
I don’t think Ayers fits the 3-4. Every LB in that scheme has to be able to take on blocks, and he doesn’t do that well. He does have some pass rush potential ofr the OLB spot, but not enough for the Chiefs to take him that high.
Good draft overall, I just like to nitpick picks
