Yeah how did Dallas lose all their picks?

Hopefully this will be the last year we don't have a full compliment of picks in rounds 1-4.

Chicago traded for their best QB since Jim McMahon, so they shouldn't feel too bad.

Would you rather have Orakpo, or two more picks on day 2?

They traded down

Giants just got Beatty, the tackle from UCONN. Great draft for them so far with Nicks, Sintim and Beatty. Damn.

I think that we'd collectively mess our pants if we had 10 picks.

Vinny wants more picks tomorrow

Troy Kropog OT Tulane

I'd be happy with any of these guys. But Kropog? Wow, I have been going to Tulane Games for the last 4 years and He never stood out to me.

Traded them to the Lions for R Williams and traded down.

lot of questions about his work ethic .. didn't he commit a crapton of penalties in their bowl game too? I watched some of the games this year and recall him getting whistled quite a few times in rapid succession

But now, I don't know if we could give him away.

Didn't really have a backup in place but wouldn't have minded trading him then. We probably held on because of Portis having been hurt and never knowing what could happen with that

Shot out to Harrisburg.

Heres my want list at 80
DJ Moore-CB
Duke Robinson-OG
Michael Johnson-DE
Shonn Greene-RB
Javon Ringer-RB
Antione Caldwell-C
AG Shipley-C
Lawrence Sidbury-DE

I can't believe I watched the whole thing. Even without our 2nd, I am thrilled that we filled a definite need with a very good prospect.

Bring on tomorrow.

[SFREDSKIN]

I say with our next pick we get Lawrence Sidbury, he reminds me of a young Fred Dean. I'm sad we didn't get Mack but happy Cleveland did.

[FRPLG]

Our pick at 80 has super important. It has to be right. I like BPA approach at that point but a solid DT/OT/OG/LB/C is really preferred. I like the idea of a C with Guard abilities or vice versa. We can probably get a starting C at 80. A guy like Antoine Caldwell we'd have to jump on. He can play guard and works hard. He'd projects as an improvement on Rabach pretty quick.

He has a 3rd round grade, and he's an ideal fit at RT.

Good to hear, wonder what it'll take, sounds like he's looking more in back half
