    well this is good news for the Redskins last best 1st rd pick was Trent Williams hopefully Scherff follows. Can never be mad at an O-Line pick.

    Very happy with how my Browns did in the first round. Nothing flashy but filled two very big needs. Also, are the Colts r-----ed?

    VINTAGE Colts.

    This has been going on since Manning too. They overload on offense, and leave their defense high and dry.

    Especially in the interior... They haven't ever had a legit inside presence at DT or MLB.

    Pats/Ravens/Steelers will own the AFC this upcoming year.

    * in tyler durden voice *

    rule number 1 of nfl draft: never draft by need

    rule number 2 of nfl draft: never draft by need

    that's why the jets took leonard william despite the fact that they already have one of the best defensive lines in the NFL

    Because the Jets are the model franchise...

    Pats drafted by need and most ppl are saying they got the steal of the first round.

    Lol, Peterson's agent is now kissing the Vikings a--- basically and asking for guaranteed money, he sure changed his stance quickly.

    Don't know if you're being sarcastic or something lol but I whole heartedly disagree with not drafting by need. Cowboys used to draft by "best player available" and it didn't work out. We started drafting by need and we got 3 stud O Linemen, Sean Lee, Demarco Murray, Etc. all which improved our team.

    Knew nothing about Perriman before the draft. After watching highlights. He's stiff but I like that he goes up for the ball not like torrey Smith. I like his potential. Now we need to draft a cb or te.

    My dawgs duke and denzel shoulda went in the first but looking forward to see where they go in the 2nd

    i'm not being sarcastic. drafting by need is NOT a good idea. but here's where it gets a little tricky.....just because a team takes a player at a position that they need help at....doesn't neccasarily mean they're drafting by need.

    my problem with what fitz and comfortably numb posts.....is that its very clear that they're the suggesting the colts are crazy for not taking a defensive player just because the colts defense is not good

    in a draft loaded with good WR's.....you don't just take a defensive player if you're the colts.......just because you need help on defense......that's not good value

    Didn't you agree with me on the Bears really messing up by not drafting an impact defensive player? Same thing goes for the Colts. Their defense is a mess. With Andrew Luck at QB, their offense is going to explosive regardless, they don't really need help in that area minus O Line. It's not like their weren't any defensive players left with 1st round grades on them when they picked. They could of grabbed a solid edge rusher but.... Idk.

    Honestly as a titans fan I was hoping they would trade the number 2 or draft Williams. With that being said I hope Mariota succeeds

    The bears also needed a WR. No way where they going to roll into the season with eddie royal and Jeffrey as their 1 and 2. With that being said they need defense also they are transitioning to a 3-4. Honestly I would love to see them take landon Collins the bears haven't had a legit safety in years

    I was hoping for Mariota but very happy we Agholer. Guy is a Top 3 receiver in the draft imo. Gonna be a good replacement for Maclin. Agholer and Matthews can be our starting WRs for the next decade. Hoping we take a safety in the 2nd round. Would be sick if we traded up and got Landon Collins. Would basically give us two 1st round talents.

    So now that it's basically official, thoughts on Sam Bradford being your team's starting QB?

    I absolutely hate it. Hate him. All I can say is I hope he proves me wrong. Either that or he gets hurt and Tebow winds up starting and having a 2011-type run (which is highly unlikely).

    Lions should have grabbed him up. Pretty much confirmed my suspicions of switching to a 3-4 defense. I like Tomlinson. He seems to be a good kid, says all the right things, appears to be a positive locker room presence, yadda yadda...But...We just rode our defense to the playoffs, lost the front line of that defense, and passed up on a chance to get it back (To a lesser extent). Now we have Warford, Reiff, Swanson, Waddle, Tomlinson, and Ramirez (6 sufficient starters on the O-Line, to fill 5 spots), and even in a 3-4 no depth at our DT spot. Probably could have easily gotten Tomlinson in the 2nd round with a couple late picks packaged with our 2nd rounder to move up.
