    Am I missing something here?

    Denver does not need an OLB and Derrick Morgan is best fitted for a 4-3 scheme at DE. Does anyone think he can play DE in the 3-4? It doesn't add up to me.

    The best fit, in my opinion, for Denver is to get Rolando McClain and play him at ILB, which is also a need for them. But instead he has Miami taking Rolando McClain with the very next pick.

    If anyone can make sense of this then please let me know.

    Because Kiper tends to go off his preceived values more than actual team needs or fits in scheme.

    ....and he's a fucking greasy haired asshole from hell.

    Derrick Morgan is a 4-3 Defensive end and I can't believe a 3-4 team would consider drafting him. Morgan has zero coverage skills and isn't suited to play a 3-4 end.

    Isn't Denver switching back to a 4-3? Pretty sure.

    I have not read that anywhere. I would love to see an article on it if you can find one.

    That's news to me. I could be wrong, but I really don't see that happening. Do you remember where you heard that? I would like to read it if you have a link.

    It's obvious to me right now that Mel Kiper just doesn't understand what the draft's all about.

    Better question:

    Why is Mel Kiper alive?

    That is awesome!!!

    LOL

    It's a good thing that Trent Dilfer won a Super Bowl or he would be tied like a knot to that draft.

    You should have just dispensed with the first part, the 2nd was that much more compelling! lol

    Oh god when I saw that Taylor Mays pick I almost had a seizure, I think ESPN did a very stupid thing, they brought in Todd McShay who knows absolutely nothing about the draft and McShay's stupidity infected Kiper, turning him into a senior Todd McShay, which really sucks because Kiper is the god father of the draft
