Niners picked up A.J. Jenkins... Might be a replacement for Moss in a year or two.

I just hope he is more like J.R. than J.J.

They're having a free draft party at Lucas Oil Stadium tomorrow night with 1/2 price concessions, new jerseys, etc. and Luck will be there with other Colts players. Even with that, I don't think I can stand to sit through more rounds.

can you get me a home manning jersey in size small or youth XL for $20 if you see them at ross, marshalls or tj maxx?

Thanks

 

[woodman1999]

Gotta say, I am very happy witht he pats moves so far. As was said before, it's shocking that they traded up to get these guys, but I am really happy with who they got. Thought they might got with Perry at 25, but I'll take another Saban-coached player.

Wonder if they'll trade out of the 48th pick to grab maybe a 3rd and 5th rounder.... Oakland is usually a prime candidate for a trade like that...

I'm happy w/ the Cowboys first round pick. They've really made some moves this off season to shore-up the holes in their defense.

I can take a look and see if anyone still has them. Also check out eBay.

Draft winner thus far is Tampa Bay IMO.

Best safety in the draft, and next best RB after Richardson = great improvement on that team.

ESPN has them ranked as one of the draft losers so far.

 

[lupi]

For al the heads that normally say no RBs in the 1st round, and even questioned if taking richardson was a good enough pick, there were quite a few taken this time.

You mean John Clayton does. I have less respect for that guys opinion than anyone I can think of in the sports world.

I completely disagree with his analysis, Claiborne wasn't even the best CB in this years draft. Janoris Jenkins is far superior he just scares everyone because of his history. Claiborne isn't even in the top 5 corners to come out of a draft in the last few years. Mark Barron on the other hand is one of the best safeties to come along in a decade (along with Eric Berry) and he will prove how good he is soon enough.

My opinion of course.

I love how the Broncos only moved back 11 spots and gained 2 4th rounders and yet they are losers already too. Clayton is such a douche bag.

Broncos know what they're doing and you can't even come close to grading a draft until a few years down the line, much less before they've even made a single pick.

John Clayton also said the Broncos made a mistake picking Von Miller instead of Marcel Dareus last year. Such a tool

 

[AMDZen]

I also love how the Rams got completely fleeced by Dallas to move in to get Claiborne and yet the Rams are somehow a winner. Clayton needs to have it both ways apparently. LOL

 

[TheNinja]

I love how we, and the analysts, grade the draft and think we know better than an entire team of "experts" who are in charge of billion dollar enterprises.

It's all a big crapshoot anyway at this point. People are saying the Rams were dumb...then I hear 1 guy on the radio claiming the Rams got the best deal out of the first 2 days.

Rams got an potentially awesome DT to go along with Long and Quinn on the D-Line. Long, Quinn, and now Brockers are all first round picks...awesome D line!!

Rams have the 1st, 7th, and 13th pick today in the 2nd round. There are still a ton of good WR and o-linemen available which is what they need. So instead of the 2nd overall pick, they get a stud DT, probably 2 good 2nd round WR, an o-lineman (if they want), Plus some of WAS picks for next year. If a team finishes 2-14 they aren't 1 awesome pick away from the playoffs. They are better off getting as many low 1st and high 2nd rounders as possible, unless they need a franchise QB in round 1...which they don't.

It will be kind of humorous if Miami ends up with the #1 pick next year after drafting Tannehill high this year.

 

[AMDZen]

Mel Kiper is kind of an idiot but I at least respect some of what he says, Mike Mayock and the NFLN crew are superior to the ESPN crew for the most part.

However, I don't really have a problem with most of the analysts. I just think John Clayton is a moron. He was saying yesterday that the Broncos would draft at 25 and then move back into the first round (with the Pats at 31) so they could take Brandon Weeden. Which is so ridiculous really

He should leave the draft analysis to those that know at least a lot from studying, Kiper, Mcshay all know quite a bit. Clayton is supposed to be a source guy like Adam Shefter and get the scoop. Then again Adam is 10x better at doing that then Clayton too.

Unfortunately you have to have "insider" to see Kiper's winners and losers, he has the Steelers as a winner but you can't see the rest

And take Matt Barkley

And take Matt Barkley

That's what I was getting at. Most people think they drafted Tannehill too high but if they're in a position to draft Barkley (assuming he is the consensus #1 pick), they won't get crap for Tannehill.

Thanks. Could you also check sports authority as well. I checked ebay, still too expensive for me.

We don't have Sports Authority here. Dick's is probably the best bet for something like this.

so what would have happened if Indy picked up RG3 instead of the Skins?

the skins just sold their future draft picks and got nothing for it?

 

[AMDZen]

Went home for lunch today and watched a bit of ESPN and NFLN, every analyst on there agreed with me on the Bucks. Guess Clayton stands alone on his analysis on TB.

As much as it pains me to say it, since I hate both teams. The Pats also did well and the Cowboys raped the Rams.

Obviously they would have taken Luck and been more than happy.

Obviously

 

[woodman1999]

Maybe it's just me, but I thought the Rams did ok. They have a crapload of future picks as well as 3 picks in the first 17ish of the second round. For a team with a lot of holes and the depth in this draft at need positions, they're actually in pretty good shape to plug some of those.

Still happy about the Pats moves....

I personally think the Bucs did fine too, as did the Broncos. The Bucs need to start getting some offensive weapons though.

I would tend to agree. I just think the Cowboys got the better deal in that particular trade. Rams still have a lot of picks to do some good things though.

Its kind of irrelevant to say who has won or lost thus far, but if you just consider Day 1 - even though its pointless, I think the winners are:

1) TB
2) NE
3) DAL

Losers, just considering day 1:

1) SEA
2) CAR
3) STL

I think Bruce Irvin was a ridiculous stretch and by far the biggest I can remember in a draft by any other team than the Raiders. They could have had Bruce Irvin in Round 2 if they really wanted him

Vincent Jackson followed up by Doug Martin is a damn good start
