How did other teams do?

[CRedskinsRule]

So not including our Skins, how do you think other teams did?

I'll be honest - I was going to start a thread on Cam Newton, based on this tweet:

RT @daringantt Awesome. Clausen was first guy in the building this morning. Newton's presser begins with him saying he'd like jersey No. 2.

Think the Panthers may really have blown it, Cam's first comment was, he's going on vacation, and his second (that I've heard) was a direct slam of another teammate. Not a good start...

But the whole first round may be worth some discussion, and later rounds too...

I would say the Browns got the best trade obviously, and Atlanta made the dumbest one.

Ponder by far was the biggest reach.

Other than Carolina the other top 4 made good picks.

And a good laugh at the end with Chicago and Baltimore's little escapade.

That was a fun evening of tv and Warpath!

I think Detroit owned the first round. Fairley and Suh? Are you kidding me? We couldn't block Suh, imagine having to deal with both of them? Amazing. Congrats to the Lions, they deserve something good. Now it's our turn.

They should go for some DB help in the 2nd round. But yeah I think Detroit will be ready to compete with Chicago and the Pack, as long as Stafford is healthy.

Seems like they don't need to commit many resources to Haynesworth. haha

And Fairley isn't a guy I would have necessarily liked everywhere in the long run, but for God's sake we're talking about a head coach that made Albert Haynesworth a $100 million man. Fairely's talent is most certainly comparable to Haynesworth going all out.

I'm sure Brett Favre is glad he chose retirement.

Jay Cutler and Aaron Rodgers, on the other hand....pray to the Lord for mercy.

If those two play nice together it could be a long game for opposing qbs, but I can see a situation where they end up feeding the negatives and causing an implosion. In this case I think the chemistry will outweigh the individual talents, I just am not sure if it will be a positive or a negative. (an example is in a negative competitive mode they could become a personal foul tandem of epic scale, I don't think Suh needs much prodding to put him over that AH - head stomping line)

Unfortunately if I am a fan of any one of our three division rivals, I like the move that my team made.

Nah, just because AH and Suh have the same coach doesn't mean they necessarily have the same personality.

have you watched Suh. Fierceness, but right on the edge of overkill especially the way the league protects the QB. (i wasn't trying to compare Suh to AH, just using that as an identifiable line)

What are you talking about? OK, Fairley looks like he might get dirty from time to time, personally, I don't mind it that much from a trench warrior, but Suh? I have no idea where you're getting that from.
In a brief search, I saw a personal foul vs Cutler and Delhomme. Neither were terrible, but the one against Cutler was hardly terrible. Helhomme's was legit though, but not dangerous.

I believe it was preseason where Suh had a particularly violent one. I am just throwing out one possibility. It certainly could be the wrong one.

This is football, a violent game. It's not like he's spiking people or taking out knees. The guy hits hard and takes no prisoners. We could use players like that on our team.

Suh is more reckless dirty. Not "here let me hit you in the nuts" dirty. Or better yet "here let me accidently kick you in the head after your helmet falls off" dirty. His all out style has led to a few questionable hits.

I do remember some dirty plays from Suh last season. He is a beast, but he does play dirty sometimes; he likes to go for heads.
