Let's see who the MSB posters would like to see their team draft. Keep in mind, it has to be a player that you actually think your team has a chance at. For example, if you're a Ravens fan, don't say Andrew Luck (just a wild example to throw out there).

List your team name and player, and give a short explanation...

We need to keep suring about the defense, and adding strength at LB is a smart choice, IMO. DJ Williams and Von Miller on the outside is great, but Manti Te'o could take this defense to a new level. For the rest of the draft, I would hope we look at some secondary players and running backs.

Jags - Justin Blackman

There are high school teams with better WR corps than us.

That makes a lot of sense. If they wanted to grab some quality WR talent at the top, they could get Blackmon and Michael Floyd. I could see Floyd dropping a round, or two, due to his off-the-field issues. He has 1st round talent.

Depends on where we end up. I think we end up with the 5th pick. In order of preference for that pick


1. Trent Richardson
2. Mo Claibourne
3. Justin Blackmon

I'm assuming you're a Browns fans, right?

What about Landry Jones from OU?

not a Dolphins fan but it's no secret here in Miami that Chad Henne and Matt Moore are not long-term solutions

I would say draft a QB, ditch Henne, and let Moore start until the drafted QB is ready

Luck, Barkley, RG3, or anyone else really

I don't think the Saints make their first pick until somewhere in the 60s..?

but Mark Ingram's talent and production justifies two 1st-round picks, right?

that being said, I would hope New Orleans drafts an OLB/DE first. maybe Brandon Lindsey from Pitt or Bruce Irvin from WVU.

That move made me question the Saints front office for a second... He was only impressive one season in college. He doesn't have great size or speed...

Bruce Irvin is a manchild with speed rushes. He's around the size of Von Miller, too. I could see him as an OLB if he could adjust well. I've only seen him pass rush.

Ya.

We have more pressing needs. Colt may not be the long term answer, but Id like to see him with some weapons before he is written off.

For the Eagles, Vontaze Burfict, hands down.

Since they are finally actually loaded up pretty well on OL/DL, I think they might FINALLY look to a LB early.

Texans

Alshon Jeffrey, Robert Woods, or Blackmon


We need a serious #2 receiver, Jacoby Jones is a joke.

We have some VERY pressing needs on offense, but with how we're "controlling" the clock and running, I say we improve our defense even more. We have a solid OLINE, Tebow at QB, Knowshon and McGahee at RB, and Decker/Royal/Thomas at WR. It's nothing great, but we're winning with it.

I think I'd like a DB over a DE. The secondary is not good and we just drafted a DE last year.

I think Alshon's speed could drop him to the 2nd round, but that would be a solid pick with him opposite of Andre Johnson. You wouldn't really be able to roll coverages one way or the other, and both are huge WRs.

what is the Broncos biggest weakness on D? I don't get to watch them very much. weak/shallow d-line?

also, is there a replacement ready to step in for Champ Bailey when he's gone. I saw Mo Claiborne projected to go as high as #5.
