I was impressed w/ the Rams draft, finally got some weapons for Bradford, also targeted all of our needs in the secondary & Oline/LBers. Also liked picking up Stacy in the 5th round to end the draft, he can come in and contribute right away imo w/ no Jackson.

Liked him quite a bit at VU, I think he'll do pretty well for the Rams

yeah

I think some people don't mind the pick, I don't know what to think to be honest.

and of course, you have the emotional crowd who you can't really have a legit talk with.

The Packers shite the bed.


I don't know. I actually liked the RB's they got. But they don't really run the ball with much consistency.

then again, how many games in a row have they gone without a 100 yard rusher? is it 43? that's pretty consistent

but seriuosly, Datone Jones seems like a good pick and with Lacy, you're getting a back with exceptional balance I think( hard to bring down). And Franklin was very productive for UCLA this past year.

Then trading up forthe Miami RB in the 7th doesnt make any sense to me


The Bucs did that to replace the now trade LeGarrett Blounte. Although yall got Jeff Demps in that trade, i dont see Demps ever playing football for the Bucs or anybody for that matter. Dude just doesnt really care about playing football




And for the Pats

Jamie Collins
Was a Saints talk favorite pre draft and I see why. Athleticism ? Check. Pass rushing ability? Check. Versatility? Check coverage abilities? Check. Love this pick so much. I expect immediate PT for him on 3rd downs

Aaron Dobson
Projects to be starting at X where Lloyd was last season so expectations are high but i like his potiential. Big guy with great hands and 4.4 speed. Youth size and speed at the WR position for the Pats? I never though id see the day. Hes also smart as a whip too so hopefully hell pick up the offense quick and gain a report with Brady. Were going to need him this season

Logan Ryan CB
Never heard of him or the two other teammates that got drafted by the Pats this year but i like that theyre all really close with McCourty. Hope he has some ability to play outside corner in case of injury, if he cant then Ras I Dowling will have a good shot to stick on the roster if healthy

Josh Boyce WR TCU
I wanted Wheaton(of course the steelers picked him) in the 2nd but Boyce is a very similar player with less production due to some bad QB play. His speed jumps off the page (ran a 4.38 with a hurt foot apparently) and has versitility to play across the board at the WR position much like we would have asked Emmanuel Sanders to do if he couldve made it here. Another smart guy. Hopefully he can contribute somewhere this season. Pats have had good history when they double dip at a position in one draft (Gronk &Hernandez/Ridley/Vereen). Both excite me

Duron Harmon S Rutgers

BB annual "who?" Pick. Will probably contribute on special teams this season and hopefully develop into a good safety at some point. Not that excited about this pick

Bucannon DE/OLB Illinois
Has good potiential for a 7th rounder with a pass rushing skill set but without the prodction his senior year. Could be a steal and could be cut at training camp, usual 7th round type pick. Him and Collins presence has put Jermaine Cunningham and Jake Bequette on notice

That LB from Rutgers that i dont feel like looking up the spelling of his name
I think Bill was just trolling at this point another STs potential guy, and maybe Bill sees him being able to be the same 2 down LB that Spikes is and possibly replace him when he likely leaves in FA after this season.

I loved what the Titans did. I hope them getting Chance Warmack will lead to them opening up holes and getting Chris Johnson back to his old self.

I like the Justin Hunter pick up in 2nd round. He could be a good steal.

Overall I think they addressed their needs and this is going with a very active free agent season things need to be looking up.

The Titans did what they could. It will be interesting to see if Locker is ready. Is Javon Ringer still on the team? I've always loved that guy.

It would be a pretty penny if you agree to pay all his legal fees

I loved the Titans draft as well. The only pick that left me scratching my head a bit was Zaviar Gooden, since they already have a carbon copy of him in Zach Brown. They completely reworked the OL though which should help the offense out tremendously. CJ was stuffed behind the line a ridiculous amount of times which just killed drives. I think Justin Hunter could end up being a stud too.

As for the Seahawks, I've learned not to question John Schneider and Pete Carroll. Those guys make me scratch my head and then the players turn into all pros. We really didn't have any needs though besides DT depth, so every pick was a luxury pick. I loved getting Jesse Williams in the 5th.

Williams in the 5th was clutch. The FO in Seattle is making all the right moves.

I honestly think that less than half of our picks will even make the Seahawks roster. There really isn't any room on it.

I love what my Vikings did. Having Rick Spielman run the show instead of our old committee approach has worked wonders.
I also follow the hated Packers closely. I wasn't happy to see that Lacy fell to them in the 2nd round and they also picked up the UCLA RB in the 4th round. They REALLY needed some running backs and it appears they have filled that need.

The Packers wont use those RBs. They better work on their pass blocking and screen catching. Thats all they will be doing

After letting it sit for a day, I'm satisfied with Jets' draft. It wasn't flashy, but that's because this draft wasn't exactly oozing WRs and passrsuhers. It's more than 1 year job to turn the team around, so they planted the seeds by investing in the lines. They got a QB that can be the eventual starter, or be the Jimmy Clausen to Bridgewater/Manziel's Cam Newton. Point is, not much invested in him, didn't trade up or take him in the 1st.

I really the the 4th for Chris Ivory, there wasn't a back in the 4th who could give as much as Ivory. The Sheldon Richardson pick was very surprising considering the Jets' have 2 upper tier bookends on their 3 man line, but excited to see how he will be used.

In all, the Jets came away with several starters and 2 lineman that have the raw talent to be great.

And I really liked the Texans' draft, and their UDFAs. Loved every pick, especially Swearinger and the pair of tackles. Then they swept up several of the top backs after the draft, almost unfair.
