Not sure if Dre Kirpatrick was the guy referenced as dropping, but I thought he was a really good value for the Browns at 22. I thought about Claiborne at 4 so being able to get T-Rich and then probably the next best corner was a good deal.
Hightower is a perfect fit for the Steelers who have released farrior and are in need of a linebacker, was surprises he fell so far and hope he is considered by our jets come draft day. Considered Martin who was just taken by Denver but Pittsburgh has been getting by without an "elite" offensive line for years so I decided to pass on the o lineman in the first
Any team that drafts Hightower is getting an outstanding football player. I like his fit at Pittsburgh.
Just to be clear, that wasn't a homer pick. Mike Adams was the BPA on my board, I think he is extremely under-rated. I don't think that is a typical Patriot selection but they could use a little youth almost everywhere on that team. So, I think he fits an important role for the Patriots. Going to work, my big board has been left with about three active guys on this board to make my second selection in the first round. Thanks.
I love Adams and I'm certainly no homer when it comes to Buckeye players. I have your second Pat's pick, so no worries.
I was flipping back and for between Randle and Adams, it just came down to me trusting Rashad Butler to be the RT more than Kevin Walter being the #2 WR much longer.
Good thing I sent my board in, I over slept. Some great picks going, I am amazed I got a great CB in Jenkins for the Lions.
I am shocked Randle went in round 1 but I heard his stock is shooting up too. Was hoping he'd be around early round 2. Great value pick for CLE....some may want a WR but once Wright got taken by the Bengals, it was clear the Browns needed a No.2 corner aside Haden.
I like the idea but I can't imagine how bad someone would feel to see their name up in that thread. Its like getting your test scores back.
I told ya Randle was going up draft boards. I am a little surprised one other WR wasnt picked, more so because of production than because of hype, but he looks to maybe be falling to round 2. I was pissed to see I didnt end up with Dre. I though wow I am going to get the steal of this draft at 23. Its a great pick for Cleveland for sure.
Although not that crucial, I did not have certain information at this time to heavily consider said prospect.
Yeah still waiting on that pro day, its funny how much a 40 time can effect someones stock so dramatically.
WW85 is fast as hell with his PM picks, I was going to make that selection for Harpua, but you swooped in in under a minute..
There's a pretty awesome thread on Tigerdroppings called "Rueben Randle emotional moments" that has some glorious photoshops, but I wanted to keep some seriousness to the draft...just like RR's face.
Great minds think alike, I just pm'd you about that. I am down to make the pick since I do have the board.
Along with Randle, another round 2 guy from our 3 rounder, Cox got taken. I think he could shoot up as far as the Broncos pick so that makes sense. If I am the Patriots and this player lasts to me, I would be dancing. Not the biggest fan of his but I really thought he'd go with the 1st Pats pick as he fills a huge need.
