I woke up in a good mood today because it occurred to me that this draft has RAC's fingerprints all over it, which leads me to believe that Pioli might be deferring to him more. Romeo had no problem yanking Charlie Frye after he sucked in the first game and putting DA in in Cleveland. It gives me hope that the best QB on the roster might actually play most of the season (I realize that better than bad doesn't equal good).

I may be totally off base here but I'm rolling with until proven otherwise. :D

Agree, No.

Burfict's issues go much deeper than just some smoking.

His issues are mostly football (on-field & practice) related. Complete opposite to players who have off-field issues.

Sit down interview with Wylie @ the combine.

that's a good point.

Yes. Steeler draft pick Ben Roethlisberger helps too.

His lack of effort and blaming coaches for his drop in production would scare me, and hopefully KC coaches

great respect for B.Dawk -

damn

boykin to eagles

I've liked the Eagles' draft

Saints take Nick Toon. I like this pick. Now they have another big guy to pair with Colston and replacing Meachem to pair with Henderson and Sproles.

**** **** YOU ANDY REID

I like the Eagles draft a lot.

so do I - but then again, everything looks good on paper

Not everything. Look at Seattle. ;)

I love the eagles draft. Boykin should play right away at nickel CB.

I think we are seeing that Pioli is letting Romeo have some say in his team, whereas he was an arrogant prick with Haley. There are definitely hints that the Chiefs are placing a greater priority on the QB position and I hope that's true. Then again, they talked about going after Peyton, there were talks about going after Stanton, and they hinted at looking heavily into Cousins. They didn't do any of those things, so who the **** knows.

It's a sad reality that barring some kind of miracle, Cassel is probably going to start every game this season. I can only hope for a wild card that somebody in KC is super-impressed with Stanzi or that Daboll's history with Brady Quinn puts him at starter. And even those options don't make me want to do cartwheels.

:D

Buffalo taking Brooks was a shrewd pick.

He is good enough for 3rd string behind Charles and Hillis (as long as they don't draft someone else today). He gives a different dimension, like Wylie at WR compared to what we already have there.

I wouldn't just cut him, he has value.

If the Giants don't select offensive linemen - I'll scream

I can't bear to watch another Giants / 49ers game this season - shoot me

I get the impression that Pioli looks up to Crennel. Crennel was a head coach before and has a bunch of rings as a coordinator. Pioli probably felt that he had to reign in Haley and protect Haley from himself where he doesn't have to do that with Romeo.

I'd love it if the Chiefs picked up Antonio Allen here. I think eventually, they will end up with either Cyrus Gray or Shaun Prater in one of the upcoming rounds..

oh please, Mike Pope can make a good TE out of any UDFA -- He's been doing that since Bavaro

Why a TE?

The Giants need to protect Eli

They should look at Zebrie Sanders.

wow there goes another FB

The Raiders are on the clock. Another glimpse into Reggie McKenzie's draft strategy.

Romeo did say before the draft he wanted fast WR's.

I'm fine with Allen or Iloka.

Good, take them all, we don't need to blow another pick on one again this year!

God, I keep forgetting that Iloka is still on the board. I wouldn't mind having him either.

offensive linemen is not in their head. same shit, different toilet

I'm sure they will select a defensive player next.

If he is a Welker type of WR, he will be doing a lot of shorter routes in hopes he breaks one. Quoted wrong comment.

NFLN ignoring the draft to cover the RG3 welcoming party in Washington. :spock:

Dylan gets her wish

On the Giants selection, no less! F word

Giants take your OL. Mosley from Auburn.

giants take mosley

good pick

OMG an offensive linemen?

Watch, they'll sit him for two years - and use all their broke dicks

thanks, guys

Four years ago, the Dolphins opted for a left tackle over a franchise quarterback, taking Jake Long instead of Matt Ryan with the first pick in the draft. With the Dolphins using a first-round pick in 2012 on the player they hope will become the team’s next franchise quarterback, the Dolphins also may have acquired their next cornerstone left tackle.

Mike Berardino of the South Florida Sun-Sentinel believes that the arrival of Jonathan Martin via round two could eventually mean the end of the line for Long.

Martin played sparingly at right tackle during his college career, and if the Dolphins decide to move on from Long, Martin could take over on the left side.

As Berardino explains it, with the Dolphins admittedly transforming their approach, Long may not fit in the new-look offense. “We’re not going to be as much a power scheme as we’ve been in the past,” G.M. Jeff Ireland said when discussing the decision to take Martin. “So his athletic ability and . . . quickness and ability to play in space transfers to this scheme probably a lot better than any other scheme.”

Long is due to receive a base salary $11.2 million in 2012. Long recently proclaimed that he’s the healthiest he has been in a long time.

I turned on to watch the draft, but what I get now is analysis of every east coast team drafts.

So excited.

Thanks. As I said at the time of the pick:

So this at least rationalizes the selection.

I could see the Vikings or Cowboys taking Iloka.

This essentially says that they don't believe that Jake Long has the athletic abaility to be an outstanding pass blocker in a more pass oriented offense.

Imagine that.

*sound of AustinChief weeping*

Lilja recently stated that Cassel is a good QB and that the Chiefs needed to get better players around him. Maybe he speaks for more people in the organization and that is why the Chiefs are drafting the way they are. Unfortunately for him, he is one of the guys getting replaced.

I could be wrong, but isn't that exactly what we read around here before he was drafted? LMAO

Vikes already took Harrison Smith.

Since you were around here in 2008?

That is exactly what I, and many others, said, yes.

Vikes loading up on Arky WRs!

Vikes take another wr from Arkansas

That Droid Razr commercial is really getting on my nerves.

let's get to this 5th round pick so i can get out of here

Dear ESPN,

I'd really like to see that manly woman named Suzy interview the Eagles fat walrus coach. Can you please arrange that?

Thanx,
DaKCMan AP

Can you imagine the shakeup that would have happened had the Mamee Doffins taken Ryan instead? Atlanta probably would have taken Dorsey. I wonder who the Chiefs would have gotten? Ellis? Long? Gholston?

What player is it going to take to get you you leave happy?

Thank God for the mute button.

Colts made one Hell of a pick there in Josh Chapman. The Colts get their anchor NT for their new 3-4 in the first offseason of transition to that alignment. It took the Chiefs three seasons.

Indy could use a RB.

Chapman is a nice pick for them.

I've said before I have been here long before I appeared as Bewbies.

Indy takes the NT I wanted with our 3 or 4. They got him in the 5th. Sadface.

colts take chapman....my sweetheart

Andy Reid on one network and RG3 press conference on the other.

ZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZzzzz

Malik Jackson to Denver

doesn't really matter at this point, this draft is a b movie

but a safety or running back would be my choice

Lions trade up.

i'll bet a dollar chapman has a longer career than poe

I wanted Polk but the thing about his knee scares me.

Reid says, "It all starts with me….." same excuse for 13 years

Can the Super Bowl end in a tie? / Eagles

Three runs - success. Two passes - fail / Eagles

Chapman is way, way better at football.

Which is why he is a 5th rounder and Poe went at #11.

yup, and plays with more heart too

poe was drafted on what he did in college?

really?

What's everyone think of Malik Jackson? Guy looks like an athletic beast.

A lot of talent went in the fourth. A couple of trades down might have netted some really good players.

He only did bad cuz he played 60 downs a game against spread offenses.

He's a typical 5th round pick. He'll either be a run-stop DE or maybe play inside. A rotational guy. He makes more sense at DE in a 3-4, though, so kind of strange for Denver. He'll need to add weight to play DT and he's not a speed rusher off the edge.

chapman was a stud in the SEC with a torn ACL

poe was a nobody in the beer league
