Re: 2012 NFL Draft (Day 2)
 

I'm all for BPA with our third rounder tonight. If that means another qb, I wouldn't care. Anything that improves the team is ok by me.

Re: 2012 NFL Draft (Day 2)
 

Loved how they didn't tip off the pick prior to the announcement last night. Well at least on TV. I noticed on Twitter people like Schefter were still doing it.

Re: 2012 NFL Draft (Day 2)
 

Have to say that was the best draft I've seen in quite some time. Never have I seen that many trades in the 1st round, and I loved the fact they weren't showing the guys on the phones prior to the pick. NFL did a great job this year with the draft.

Re: 2012 NFL Draft (Day 2)
 

All the trades were exciting. Big props to the league for getting rookie salaries under control to make trades a lot more team friendly.

I heard Paul Allen (the Seahawks owner) was tweeting every pick as soon as he got word of it, which was basically before anyone

Re: 2012 NFL Draft (Day 2)
 

Final thoughts on the first day- Great moves by the Jags, Browns, Vikings, and Cowboys.

Tampa Bay showed why their franchise is completely inept at this point. Seattle as well. Shaking my head at the Bears too.

Tannehill ended up going to the perfect fit in Miami. I think that move works better than any other spot.

People keep talking bout the Patriots moves being great, gotta disagree.

We got our man so im very happy

Re: 2012 NFL Draft (Day 2)
 

^ Wow, final thoughts on Day 2 before anyone even picks? Are you a wizard?

Re: 2012 NFL Draft (Day 2)
 

Brockers was a value pick and the Rams needed help at DT so that was probably a good pick.

That said, the Rams had the most pathetic pass-protecting OL that I saw all last season. Sam Bradford didn't have a chance to succeed behind that sieve of an OL. The good news is that they have three picks in the top half of the second round. I'm guessing that they'll either draft two OL prospects in Round 2 or one OL in Round 2 and another OL in Round 3.

Mattyk, this would have to mean that we actually sign RG3 to a contract soon wouldn't you think?

Re: 2012 NFL Draft (Day 2)
 

SS you must have.

Re: 2012 NFL Draft (Day 2)
 

Yeah BPA today in the 3rd.

Yeah guess so...Maybe "final thoughts on the first day" means different things to different people

Anyhow, kind of wish today's rounds started at Noon

Re: 2012 NFL Draft (Day 2)
 

I kinda get excited seeing Olinemen such as Glenn, Martin, Massie and Konz falling outta of the first round. Could one still be around when we pick in the 3rd, that would be great.

My gut tells me if LaMichael James or Turbin are there when we pick in the 3rd round, we will take'm

Re: 2012 NFL Draft (Day 2)
 

With the pace of last night I was wishing they would just jump right into round 2!

my priest said he thinks janoris jenkins may fall to us in the 3rd round

Re: 2012 NFL Draft (Day 2)
 

We're going to trade our 3rd to get Colt McCoy...

Re: 2012 NFL Draft (Day 2)
 

I would like our priority to be at bolstering the OL with our 3rd round pick today. HOWEVER, if we feel that we can still resolve our OL issues to the same degree in the 4th round then I would actually prefer us to get a quality Safety if one is there in the 3rd today.

your priest is hopefull but very wrong

Re: 2012 NFL Draft (Day 2)
 

A little annoyed with the Rams. They should have soaked the Cowboys for more picks in the trade-up. I'm also annoyed that the Cowboys got Claiborne. He may be a bit problematic, as Chico indicated, but he's still a good player at a position of need for Dallas.

Pretty much agree with everything but the Browns bit. I thought they had a horrible day. I don't like taking running backs in the top 10, let alone trading 3 picks to move up 1 spot to get one. I like Richardson, but I'd never use a pick that high on an RB. Weeden was also an awful pick IMO. 28 Year old quarterbacks in the 1st round? No thanks.

I was a little upset when they traded up for him...a real "OH CRAP!" moment...but this makes me feel better about it.

I think TR is gonna be great, I think Weeden will surprise and still a risk though. Point taken

:laughing-

I saw this old lady getting mugged on the sidewalk. Wasn't nothin bout football, so I walked away.

-Claiborne

Why's everyone so down about Morris? He got a scholarship, was a war hero, a shrimping boat captain, and ran from coast to coast several times

"I saw First Name and Last Name. What does this have to do with football? So I blew it off."

- Claiborne

how did this guy even find LSU? He just followed the corn-dog scent.

Judge: Why didn't you pay child support?

Claiborne: wasn't nothing about football

Yeah, especially in smoots article where Demoff the GM for the Rams was like ''yeah we're not screw you over for more picks like we did to the redskins''.


Expect mike Jenkins to get traded either today or tomorrow.


Hopefully gaffney gets traded.

When does RG3 get to Redskins park today for conferences and media sessions?

I think TR is going to be great too, but:

A. I don't believe anyone else was going to get in front of them. Of course, I don't know that, but I don't buy it.

B. I just don't like picking running backs that high in today's NFL. Such a short lifespan in most cases and I just think you can get good running backs in later rounds.

C. Disagree on Weeden. I don't like him. To each his own. :)

Also: Claiborne couldn't spell LSU if you spotted him the L and the S.

Jenkins ain't that good homie. But it will be fun claiborne vs garcon or ever the matchups will be. Assuming that the brother sees Claiborne as a Revis type that can cover man to man and shut down a receiver. INTERSTING.

How little research would that have taken to get right?!

More on the topic of this thread: I really think picks 31 and 32 were horrible. I actually really like both backs, just not on the teams that took them. It seemed like the draft philosophy for the Bucs and Giants was, "Hey, <insert current running back name here> is really good, we should pick that EXACT same guy right here."

Blount/Wilson and Bradshaw/Martin >>>>>> Blount/Martin and Bradshaw/Wilson

Ever hear of a change of pace back, guys? :doh:
