Thoughts on last night, and looking forward...

[OnTheWarpath58]

Great. ****ing. Pick.

This kid is going to be a superstar. His play and versatility is well documented, so I'm going to focus on the off the field stuff I noticed that makes me like this pick even more.

Anyone notice that almost every prospect in the green room had a watch the size of a ****ing dinner plate, and a ton of bling?

Not EB. Dud looked like he was wearing a $50 Seiko.

The story of helping the equipment guys also shows how humble this kid is. There's no doubt in my mind this kid is going to work his ass off to be the best FS in the league. This secondary is going to be sick when we get some pass rushing help.


Moving on....


Clausen. Part of me is pissed because they didn't move back up into the late 1st to grab him - but part of me thinks they've made the right move by keeping their picks because they think he'll still be there at 36. Cleveland and Carolina are both rumored to prefer Colt McCoy. Minnesota isn't going to take him, and I think they'll move back again if they can. They wanted Patrick Robinson and were sniped by the Saints.

Kindle. Microfracture surgery? Pass.

Otherwise, there are some great prospects that should be available here. I just hope they continue to take playmakers and leave the fat guys to the later rounds. Benn would be a nice R2 pick, as would Daryl Washington, Golden Tate, etc.

Rest of the AFC West.

Oakland taking McClain at 8 changed the entire draft. It's a big reach, IMO - and it makes no sense to take this kid and kick Kirk Morrison to the curb, but it's Oakland - they never do anything that makes sense.

WTF is AJ Smith thinking? Ryan Matthews is a great pick, but why mortgage your draft to move up 16 spots to get him? You can't convince me that anyone before Houston was going to take him. Huge waste of resources.

Denver. Oh, Denver. You made my night. At first you scared me, because you were stockpiling picks. Then you took Thomas, which was an excellent move. Then when you traded up, I figured it was for Dan Williams, which would have been another solid move.

Then I see the cutaway to Tim Tebow on the phone, and laugh my balls off.

Thanks for the laughs, Josh. I'm looking forward to more tonight.



Tonight really is huge for this franchise. Pioli gets an A thus far, but these next three picks are going to be the make-or-break for the future of this franchise, IMO. Hit on them, and things are looking great. Miss? I don't even want to think about it.

Get it done, Scott.

[the Talking Can]

Berry brings charisma to the team. The guy has been the best player on the field his whole damn life. And he will be on the Chiefs D.


can't love it enough

[KurtCobain]

Gawd Josh Mc****tard sucks. And I think I'll pass on Kindle too. Sucks though.

C'mon, Clausen!

[BigRedChief]

Claussen and Tate would rock and roll.

Yep.

I'll get flamed for this, but it makes me hate the fact we gave away Pollard even more.

I'd love to get Chad Jones later in this draft.

[KurtCobain]

Pollard+Berry would've been so sweet.

[DBOSHO]

Pretty good summary.

I just want a good NT(hopefully cody), good lb( hopefully spikes)
and a good reciever(tate, benn, byrd) and id consider this draft a huge success.

Mays if hes there at 50 intrigues me. Having mays AND berry would be sick, but he looks like a fast bernard pollard. All armtackles

my imagination runs rampant w/ all the looks having berry on the field will give KC.

My Draft Thoughts;

1. Sam Bradford the consensus #1 QB is taken 1st and wakes up to find Tebow's picture plastered over every sporting site and newspaper. Motivation?

2. Lions - how long until Gunther Cunningham ruins Suh?

3. In 2 years McDaniel will be a draft genius or have gone full retard. Thomas over Dez and Tebow over Clausen and McCoy?

4. I'm glad Dez ended up in Dallas. Jerry wanted the kid and won't have a problem spending some money giving him some off field support.

5. I guess Peter Carroll likes Texas players better than his own USC guys.

6. I wouldn't be shocked if 4 years from now Indy ended up with the best 1st round draft pick.

7. The NYG love pass rushers. Even extremely raw pass rushers.

8. Rex Ryan will have the best trio of corners in the league. He can leave them alone to bump and run, and blitz the crap out of opposing QBs. The Dolphins and Bills better get accustomed to using their hot reads very often.

Oh, and what in the blue **** was Jacksonville thinking last night?

Teams like them and Denver are the reason there are still some kick-ass prospects available early tonight.

The run on CBs and DTs is the reason so much other talent fell.

While I agree that the McClain pick had some impact, I think the Jags pick of Alualu had an even bigger impact.

The end of the round last night saw some EXCELLENT picks.

Wilson to the Jets is highway ****ing robbery. If Cromartie plays to even 70% of his potential, they are going to be nasty in the back end.

I'm with you, Jerry Hughes was a great selection for Indy.

And thus far, Detroit is winning the draft. The move up to get Best was very savvy.

Great thread OTW

Last night was great on so many levels.

I wanted to see Wilson in the second, was hearing it could happen too, and then bam, the ****ing defender-hogs rolled up.
