NFL Draft

Today is the big day!!

Eagles pick 15th.. I'd LOVE to see either Fletcher Cox, Mike Barron or Luke Kuechly fall to that spot. If all are off the board at 15, I'd like to see a DT taken, like Devon Still or or Michael Brockers.

In the 2nd round I'd like to see Janoris Jenkins and Zach Brown (if we dont get Luke)

Mid round guys I'd like to see on the Birds.. Juron Criner (U of A guy.. big WR with excellent hands) and Bernard Pierce (RB from temple)

I can't believe the new consensus going around is that Justin Blackmon isn't an elite player in this draft.

They're now saying this draft has five of them (Luck, RG3, Richardson, 4-Wonderlic LSU CB, and Kalil)

Blackmon won back-to-back Biletnikoff awards and no one could cover him over the middle of the field.

Oaklahoma State outdueled RG3's Baylor team and Luck's Stanford team (with 4 1st rounders) and Blackmon was the best player on the field both times.

He's not all that big and not all that straight line fast -- but he has that soccer player shift to him like Wes Welker and Victor Cruz (both undrafted) and he's got incredible hands, range, and body control like those two guys. To me, he's a bigger, stronger, faster Welker and Cruz.

Five years ago - Blackmon would be tagged as a great possession and YAC reciever - but now because of the ref re-positioning and the rules changes - his type of WR is absolutely allowed to get away with murder. How can you guard a guy like this when you're not allowed to touch him, hit him hard, and the middle is opened up by ref repositioning on top of everything else.

I like Blackmon. I like Kalil. To me, those are the only two sure bets in the Draft. Luck and Griffin are both media cumshots. Luck is very cerebral but his arm is avg. Griffin is track speed with a great release and good arm...but he lacks the cerebral approach and he is skinny and not a good runner with the football.

Mike Vick and Cam Newton were GREAT runners with the football in college. They made linebackers look like complete fools with jukes and vision ... Griffin runs like someone with no vision, no power, and no ball carrying moves.

Just my observation now that I've watched those cool game film videos.

JEsus Christ, the Browns traded 3 picks to move up one spot. What an abortion of a franchise. they're so bad any player at any position helps them.

Not too shabby considering they thought they were going to get leapfrogged for the best runner in the draft.

why was i surprised when i was at the wellness center today, and saw that espn had a draft countdown clock?

dc needs more than rg3. like a new owner, a coach, a new off. coordinator to start.

Can't wait to see him torch some "Actual Defenses"! This team has needed a franchise QB for damn years, i applaud them for going up and damn getting one! Even RAY CHARLES could see this, anyone who cannot see that doesn't know crap in my opinion! I welcome RG3 in my opinion he's going to be sensational!

Who cares?? They stink, they need a ton of players. Richardson won't do much for them. I feel bad for him. running backs can be picked up off the street....Arian Foster for example.

this is not a running back league anymore. It's qb's and receivers. He's a very fine player, Richardon, but it's not a good pick at all.

The kid looks depressed beyond comprehension getting the hugs and kisses. Hilarious. Go Browns!!

Great move for the Cowboys getting up to number 6 for Claiborne!
