Anyone care to comment? I can't believe what Chip Kelly is going to be able to do with both Jordan Matthews AND Josh Huff. Two of my favorite WRs in that draft--two completely different players filling two massive spots. Philly will not miss DeSean Jackson once these two guys get acclimated to the league. On the Browns, love the picks of Gilbert, Manziel and Desir but having known Gordon was likely suspended for a year, in such a deep WR class how they didn't pick ONE is very curious. Having Bills first pick next year is a nice consolation. Rich get richer with Cody Latimer going to Peyton Manning--that guy steps in immediately for Decker without missing a beat. Manning is going to make that kid a star. Love the Ebron and Van Noy picks for Detroit. That team is going to put up some monster numbers this year after also adding Golden Tate. A lot of folks questioning the need for Ebron--only so many balls to go around but he is just going to open everything up for everyone else. If you have Tate on one side and Calvin on the other occupying the safeties--who covers the middle of the field? A LBer? Hardly. _
Detroit didnt have a good draft in my opinion on how the trend is a division with Rodgers Cutler and now Bridgewater , without 1 good DB its laughable
The Lions needed a CB, almost as bad as Cleveland not drafting a WR. No question the Lions will score points, their defense on the back end is going to be ugly.
San Francisco. Talk about the rich getting richer. Ward, Hyde, Borland, Ellington, Martin and Thomas. Not to mention Aaron Lynch who has tons of potential. They had a great draft. The Jags also had a nice draft.
The Rams, man. And I'm not talking about Sam, here. Serious additions to their O- and D-lines. Joyner AND Gaines at CB. Tre Mason to split time with Zac Stacy.......... Aaron Donald in a rotation with Kendall Langford and Brockers on a line with Quinn and Long is the perfect place to emphasize his quickness and mask his smaller size.
How about Tampa Bay getting Mike Evans AND ASJ? Couple them with Vincent Jackson and they've got some serious size and talent catching passes down there. Can't believe how long it took for Andre Williams to go, great pick for the the Giants, massive senior year although he got hurt when I saw him in the Dome. He's going to be a grinder for them. _
And the fact that the 9ers got Skov as an UDFA? Wtf. He played at my nephew's HS and I remember him being one of the better HS players I'd seen in quite some time. _
I really like what Tampa Bay did. Adding Mike Evans and ASJ to the roster. They have some serious size and potential on offense with Vincent Jackson, Mike Evans, and ASJ. Add in Doug Martin at RB, and the defense staying the same (adding Lovie Smith). As long as they can get good QB play, I think they'll be a threat.
And they picked up a great back in Charles Simms. Still shocked how long some top top RBs remained on the board. _
The RB position has gotten devalued. Also, the only way a RB goes in the 1st round again I think is if that player has AP like talent.
Oh I agree with that, I'm still just surprised at the quick devaluation. I loved Gio Bernard in the second last year, I feel as if he would have gone in the 4th this year. _
By nabbing Barr and Bridgewater is ridiculous, good on the Vikes. Detroit did pretty well. I'm not as high on Ebron as other people here but he should do great in their system. KVN should be a very good player, and TJ Jones should end up as their version of Kerley, a steal in the 6th. Houston getting Clowney and Nix in the 3rd is just goddamn unfair. 2 future pro bowler/all pro players right there IMO. If they can figure out the QB situation they're going to be a dangerous team. Cooks is going to put up video game numbers in New Orleans. Tuitt couldn't be a better fit for Pitt and an absolute steal in the 2nd.
Also I'm rather entertained at how Minnesota keeps gypping Cleveland out of late round picks and still getting who they wanted anyway.
I don't understand the love the media is giving the patsies. I thought they didn't really do anything. Also besides giving up a top 10 pick next year, i loved the potential of the 3 ol Buffalo got
From the Pack i loved the home town pick Jared Abbrederis, along with jeff janis, davonte adams , and haha of course.
The Raiders actually had a very good draft, I thought. As such, I'm going to assume that this draft was only a dream because there's no way that could have been possible. So what happened in the real draft?
They might have found long time stars at 2 of the 3 most important positions in football with those first 2 picks. _
