Outside of the Saints, Falcons, and Cowboys I dont really know the fan break down of the MSB

The 3 teams I follow closely are Carolina, Philly, and Detroit and I'm wondering how fans of these teams feel the morning after the end of the 2013 draft?

*If actual interest exist I'll update OP with links as needed

I am in the air on Kelly. The majority of his picks were players he saw from coaching against them at some point. I am happy the Eagles landed three LSU players but sometimes I had to roll my eyes. I hope it all works out but interested to see how is second draft goes. Secondary definitely needs some additions.

Im nervous about the Barkley pick? Im rooting for and was looking forward to seeing Vick in Kelly's system. After last year I wonder how this will affect Vick mentally? Most Philly fans seem to be done with Vick and will be screaming for Barkley as soon as Vick throws his 1st interception

Kelly did put a lot of emphasis on the fact that he spoke with Nick Foles regarding the pick but there's been no mention of Vick? Maybe they will compete for the back-up position

I was hoping Detroit would take Onterio McCaleb in the 6th-7th round or as an UDFA to help on Special Teams and provide some RB depth but he ended up with the Rams.

I'm also miffed that they continue to draft players with history of injury despite having been burned multiple times in the past

I was shocked to see the Eagles choose Matt Barkley, probably the last team I would have ever imagined drafting the guy. He does not fit what Chip Kelly does on offense so I have no idea what the eagles were thinking here.

If you graded the draft on potential, then we would have the best draft class. The punter pick and Riddick(ND RB) are the two I don't like. Especially the punter....punter in the 5th round? wtf?

Listening to NFLN yesterday and they seemed to feel that Kelly was going to be more West Coast Offense which Barkley would be a good fit for. They also stated that Kelly has said multiple times that he doesnt need a mobile QB sooo I'm thinking we wont know what system their running until the season actually starts

He's not really running the same offense like he did at oregon. Hell, he even hired Pat Shurmur, a west coast OC, as his OC.

Drafting injured guys is just the Lions way, unfortunately.

of course not, that offense won't cut it in the NFL.

I'm just saying that was the last team I ever expected to see drafting Barkley. The guy is a freaking statue back there so I just don't think his style of play will work with Chip Kelly's offense. JMHO

I was also thankful because I didnt think Milliner had value at 5th overall. Greenbay would eat him alive and so would Cutler on a *good day.

Another reason I was glad to see them pass on Milliner

Detroit and Carolina both had horrible ST last year so I'll withhold my opinion on any moves to address this for now.

Detroit will also be without Hansen for the first time in decades (litterally decades) so now is the time to pull a new group together?

Did Carolina pick Kenyin Barner?

That's a steal

Everyone that grades high on that Sports Science Show seems to do well

He had a higher grade than Arian Foster

They signed Akers for place kicking, hopefully he's kicked his habit of choking he developed late last season. Why waste a 5th round pick on a punter? Sign a udfa.

I liked Star in the 1st.

Don't know much about the other DT in the second, Shortt. Not sure why they got 2 DTs but they said they would get the BPA.

Guessing the LB from Iowa State was BPA. We are pretty solid at LB now

Picking Kenjon Barner makes me happy (:
