#12 - Tyson Jackson, DE, LSU - I would've liked for Rey-Rey to fall one more spot but since he didn't....I'll anchor the 3-4 for the next 8-10 years. I consider it a little bit of a reach for #12 but who else would I take here? Malcom Jenkins could be a thought because of the age and depth of the Bronco's CBs.

#18 - Vontae Davis, CB, Illinois - Yeah I know that Aaron Maybin is sitting there at #18 and he's ready to be picked but I don't see him as the player that some do. With Davis...the Broncos have their starter opposite of Champ Bailey.

#48 - Lawrence Sidbury, OLB, Richmond - Sidbury will team up with Dumerville to give the Broncos a nice passrush in the 3-4.

#79 - Ramses Barden, WR, Cal-Poly - Brandon Marshall is either suspended or injured and Eddie Royal can't carry the team by himself. Orton/Simms are going to need another tall possession receiver to throw too. Marshall and Royal will allow Barden to ease into the starting offense.

#84 - Sammie Lee Hill, DT, Stillman - The Broncos need a NT for their 3-4....enough said.

#110 - David Bruton, FS, Notre Dame - The Broncos are old at safety and Bruton will be able to sit for a year and learn behind of the best....Brian Dawkins.

#141 - Worrell Williams, ILB, California - They need to get younger at ILB. Andra Davis won't be here forever.

Where are your grades?

I popped in today thinking you may have done them by now.

You can start with mine: :D

Detroit:

1 LIONS (OnTheWarpath58) - Matthew Stafford, QB, Georgia
20 LIONS (OnTheWarpath58) - Vontae Davis, CB, Illinois
33 LIONS (OnTheWarpath58) - William Beatty, OT, Connecticut
65 LIONS (OnTheWarpath58) - Evander Hood, DT, Missouri
82 LIONS (OnTheWarpath58) - Derrick Williams, WR, Penn State

Patriots:

23 PATRIOTS (OnTheWarpath58) - James Laurinaitis, ILB, Ohio State
34 PATRIOTS (OnTheWarpath58) - Clint Sintim, OLB, Virginia
47 PATRIOTS (OnTheWarpath58) - Patrick Chung, SS, Oregon
58 PATRIOTS (OnTheWarpath58) - Jairus Byrd, CB, Oregon
89 PATRIOTS (OnTheWarpath58) - Kraig Urbik, OG, Wisconsin
97 PATRIOTS (OnTheWarpath58) - James Casey, TE, Rice

The Arizona Cardinals select Ian Campbell, OLB, Kansas State

I really like Campbell as a sleeper 3-4 OLB in this draft. He's not the fastest guy, but he has the size you look for and he actually has experience in a DE/OLB hybrid role, unlike most guys who require projection.

At best, Campbell can eventually fight for a starting spot in Arizona's new 3-4 scheme in a Vrabel-like role. At worst, he will provide 3-4 OLB depth on a team that simply lacks bodies that can play that position without embarrassing themselves.

Really? I actually like that draft better than the Jets draft.

Well your Patriots draft so far is an A+++. Good picks, but you totally benefitted from the Pats accumulating six picks in the first 100.

Your Lions draft started out really good, I loved the first three. Disagree bigtime with your last two. I think Hood is overrated, and I don't think he fits in the 3-4. D. Will, as I said before, is a bust waiting to happen.

First three picks are good enough that I'd give it at least a B+.

I dont think Detroit is running a 3-4.

Well, I don't think they've been running ANY defense the last five years.

True but Schwartz and Gun are 4-3 guys.

Guys we won't finish the draft at this rate.

I'm waiting on Eazy.

He picked Ian Campbell, you are up.

Steelers select Austin Collie, WR, BYU

Steelers also select Joel Bell, OT, Furman

This guy is a perfect fit for the Pats. He has great raw ability, but is coming off of an injury. Belichick has said that he doesn't have 12 spots open on his roster, but this is the kind of guy that they can draft and then put on IR, thus saving him a roster spot, allowing him to develop, and milking one year out of Joey Galloway. Once that is done, this guy can take over as a lethal return man and a legit slot or #2 option down the road.

The New England Patriots select Brandon Tate, WR, North Carolina

Remember to pm the next gm and check this thread like it has the puck and we'll finish.

I didn't think so either...
