I'm going to a bar tonight with a group of guys. Everyone puts a buck into a pot before each pick and guesses who's going to get selected. Whoever gets it right splits the pot, 32 times. Never done it, but sounds like fun.

KC's real draft can't possibly be worse than this:

Forgive if posted before, worst first round picks for every NFL team:

Yes it could. Don't jinx us, asshole.

I know the Bucs are trying to trade out the 5 spot.

Wow. That's impressively bad.

I almost peed laughing at this one. The poor Browns

The good news is that he eventually came back, and the Bills traded his rights to Cleveland for a draft pick that turned into Jim Kelly. If that's too happy an ending for you, see the Bills formidable list of honorable mentions below.

This is also a good one
revolving door of suck which included Jeff Blake, Chris Redman, Elvis Grbac, Tony Banks, and Trent Dilfer.

Adam Schefter‏ @AdamSchefter
Teams open to trading up if right player is there include Jacksonville, Buffalo, Philadelphia, San Diego, New England, Green Bay.

Adam Schefter‏ @AdamSchefter
Teams open to trading back for the right offer include Minnesota, Tampa Bay, Miami, Seattle, Dallas, NY Jets, Detroit.

RT @SethK66: So other teams aren't interested in trading? ... No. All are. But these teams have made a confirmed telephone call or calls

All the rumors up here in Vikings country are that the Bucs want to trade up to 3 so they can draft Trent Richardson ahead of the Browns.

Is that just wishful thinking on Vikes' fans part or do you think that has merit?

TRich is the player TB wants most, IMO. Minnesota can then grab Claiborne at 5.

If it's Weeden...the future is, now...

That, or at the first sign that Cassel's 2010 season was a complete mirage, OR he turns into Brokedick II.

:banghead:

The Vikes have too many holes--if Kalil is there he's the safest pick. Everything is posturing to try to trade-down for additional picks, IMHO.

It's hard to say, but if the Bucs trade up to draft a running back, both Dominik and Schiano will be fired before I have to renew my drivers license in 2015.

Definitely. Indy, St. Louis, and Minnesota all need as many draft picks as they can get their hands on.

St. Louis already fixed that problem. Indy will have to make do for now with their outstanding franchise QB (****ing Colts). Minnesota got kinda screwed in this deal. That Tampa trade, if the rumors are true, would be incredibly valuable to them. They've been eyeing Kalil and Claiborne anyway all this time. They'd be guaranteed to get one of them.

Yep. All my Viking fan buddies have been saying this for weeks. We'll see though....as that organization is at a bit of a cross-roads.

McShay talking about Mercilus being picked in the top 20.

Hope it's us.

Report: Morris Claiborne is No. 1 player on Vikings draft board

Posted by Evan Silva on April 26, 2012, 4:09 PM EDT

Citing a source with knowledge of the situation, NFL Network’s Steve Wyche reports that LSU cornerback Morris Claiborne is the No. 1 player on the Vikings’ draft board, and they are “leaning toward” drafting Claiborne with the No. 3 overall pick in the draft.

Per Wyche, the Vikings also “like [Claiborne] more” than USC tackle Matt Kalil.

Appearing on ESPN’s <i>NFL Draft Special</i> Thursday, Adam Schefter seemed to agree with the notion that Claiborne is the favorite to be drafted with the third overall pick.

“There seems to be a feeling that they might be leaning toward Morris Claiborne while still considering Matt Kalil,” Schefter said.

The Vikings’ priority remains trading down, but if they stick to their draft board, Claiborne will be the third pick in the draft and a mini-slide could be in order for this year’s top-rated offensive tackle.

yikes!!

coples,thompson and cousins

:Lin:


Coples doesn't seem like a Pioli pick ... AT ALL.

some guy on 810 thinks we might trade down (if possible) then take hightower...

I have no clue where he would even play. He's oversized for a 4-3 DE... would he be a JJ Watt-type at DE for us? We already have a guy like that in Allen Bailey.

I think this is just proof that some of these draft sites don't do their homework at all. One quick glance at the roster, maybe some research from local sources, and then they say, "Welp, this guy kinda fits. Good enough"

Rick Spielman is the dumbest mother****ing GM if he takes Claiborne. That's saying a lot considering who is running the show in Miami.

No problem with that.

An ex-Viking player (Mike Morris) hosts a morning talk show here in the Cities, and he's very well connected to the team. I believe he's 8-for-9 in predicting the Vikings 1st round pick, with the one miss being due to a team trading in front of them and taking their pick. This morning he said he has it on extremely good authority that the Vikings will take Kalil, outside of a trade offer they can't refuse.

Take it for what it's worth, but he has a great track record...

When is the draft over tonight?

When all the teams have made their 1st round choices :thumb:

Oh thank Christ it's finally here. Mock drafts bore the shit out of me.

Pick someone and let's get on with the long summer wait.

If I was Scott, I would go into this draft with my two main goals being Barron and Weeden. Need those two guys.

Happy birthday. It's my daughter's bday as well.

There is some rumblings KC is targeting ILB in the 1st. Basically leaves it to two guys... Luke Kuechly or Donte Hightower. Just depends if we stay pat at #11 or trade back?

Can't wait to draft Russell Wilson!

**** ESPN. It's draft day. Get that baseball $3it off there.

Anyone pm a link to NFL network?...

Spielman is just blowing smoke, Vikings are taking Kalil.

Whenever they're done. I don't know how long ESPN will cover it.

I think they're trying to convince TB to trade up to 3 for the guy they really want, Claiborne. Browns aren't taking Kalil and probably won't trade down, so Vikes know they'd still get Kalil at 5. Can't fault them for trying.

4 yrs, 22 million for Luck.

Sorry if repost

Nah not sorry

Too bad the Chiefs didn't start Palko all season.

that hail mary pass by Palko really,really killed us

That and butterfingers Rivers...

I don't think it would impact who we take today though...it will still be Barron, DeCastro, or Kuechly

i don't know ... we probably jump up around 5/6th with 2 more wins.

That's RGIII trade up area :D :thumb:

DeCastro FTW! WF agrees!

On Rotoworld:

"The Lions offered their first-, second-, and fourth-round picks in last year's draft in an effort to trade up for Patrick Peterson.
The Cardinals declined, but Detroit's aggressiveness to acquire secondary help last year speaks to the team's realization that cornerback remains a major problem area. NFL Network's Jason La Canfora has reported that the Lions are trying to trade up for South Carolina CB Stephon Gilmore. Detroit may have to come up with an offer similar to last year's Peterson proposal, because the Lions draft later this year and Gilmore is a projected top 10-12 pick."

I assume we'd all be fine with a trade down to 23 and pick up another 2nd and perhaps a 5th? Could still get Hightower there most likely, right in front of Pitt.

Look at the one who sucks the penis wearing a 20 year old Emmitt Smith Cowpies jersey at the draft..

Stay Tuned: Jerruh Jones is on! - you never know with Jerruh is going to say!

I would trade down to #23.

that would cost them a 2nd and 3rd, at least by the old value chart

which i'd do, probably

who do you want the giants to draft?

Give it up Jerruh, you're not picking 32nd next year.

Stop lying to the servicemen in Germany

I for one am extremely disappointed Michael Irvin isn't hopped up on some sort of drug

The chick in the Fiat commercial....I'd eat a mile of her shit just to see where it came from

LOL ... I was just thinking the same thing

the night is young

I forget if it was last years draft, or maybe like a pre season special, but holy shit......he was acting bizarre. I'm surprised they let him go on as long as he did

It came from her butthole, dummy! Now you ate all that shit for nothing.

Best player available - that's the way this team operates

The Giants thought process: How the Giants have been built

The Big Blue Blueprint draft
http://sportsillustrated.cnn.com/vau...96/1/index.htm Long article. Also talks about Green Bay & Ravens -- from what I recall.

When the Giants pick 32nd, please let me know your thoughts.

TIA

Yeah. But it's Italian shit. Way better than that American crap

did anyone else just see willie roaf walking behind i think claibourne into radio city on espn? what is big willie doing at the draft? i love that guy

ah hes announcing the saints 3rd

Anyone else see that segment just now onNFLN? Mayock yelling "BEAST" was awesome. Mainly because after he did it, he was all serious lol.

I wish I knew how to make gifts. It would be perfect

RG3 just tried bang her on the carpet...

I'd owe a TV to the hotel I'm staying at if those were our draft picks.

He doesn't do it to FIGURE OUT where it came from, he does it to SEE where it comes from.

I need to add her to the list of chicks I wished did porn

Browns moved up!
Vikings get 3 picks! More to come

Don't give us this "process" crap.

Come on. Just give us a name. Doug Martin? Would that be adequate?

Browns move up to take Richardson.

damn...i wish we could score one of these hauls

Browns gave up 4th,5th and 7th rd picks

45 minutes...

I doubt very much that the Giants would pick a RB in the first round.

I don't know - Defensive end Andre Branch - what do you think?


you guys are the experts - I just read - I don't watch college football games.

These are four that I follow:

Bob McGinn: http://www.jsonline.com/sports/packers/148822425.html

The Huddle Report top 100 - http://www.thehuddlereport.com/2012....12TOP100.shtml

Gosselin http://www.dallasnews.com/sports/col...selin/20120425

Draft Ace top 100 - http://draftace.com/blog/top-100/

I'd rather get someone who will be an anchor at their position unless it is a stupid level of picks -- which we may get.

Personally, I think DeCastro, Barron, or Keuchly would address positions of need and give us strength at those positions. At 23? Who knows...

I love RGIII's commercial!

"WHAT!"

Racist

That's Cam Newton



:LOL:

Wrong black guy. That's Newton

were gonna trade with jerry. we'll still get a very good player at 15

How much time off the clock will the Colts/Skins/Browns use to make their selections?

You mean 14.

Bill Williamson reports that Chiefs are high on Barron. Ground breaking circa Teicher

god dammit

we have to listen to gruden talk over kiper all night...
