****Official NFL 2012 Draft Thread****

[SPchief]

We know the 1st two picks. After that? Lets Go!



EDIT:

USE SPOILER TAGS IF YOU ARE POSTING A SPOILER... SUCH AS A TWEET... before the pick is in and shown on NFL/ESPN.

It works like this

Spoiler!

You suck if you can't figure this out.

I don't know about that UCF Knight -- In Reese We Trust.

It appeared that the Giants may have been targeting a running back with the 32nd overall pick – or at least that’s what the Tampa Bay Buccaneers must have though. Just before the Giants picked, the Bucs – whose offensive coordinator is former Giants quarterbacks coach Mike Sullivan – traded up to 31 and grabbed Boise State running back Doug Martin. Presumably they thought Martin would be the Giants’ choice.

But Giants GM Jerry Reese said Wilson was the second-rated running back on his board – presumably behind Alabama’s Trent Richardson, who went third overall. Marc Ross, the Giants’ director of college scouting, said it was a “very easy” pick.

“A terrific football player,” Reese added. “This guy loves to play football. He’s fast. He’s productive. He can do anything you want him to do. He can catch the ball. He can return kicks. ”

Who's the "best acrobat in the NFL"? David Wilson says (and shows) it's him, not Jason Pierre-Paul.



David Wilson Highlights: 4.3 speed, 1700 yards, 41" vertical, power and cutting ability.

Well at least the Raiders and Donkies made zero picks in the first round and the Chargers only had 1.

I'm thankful the Donkies didn't draft any of the 3 RB's that were taken tonight.

We can draft Silatolu to pair with Poe. The theme of our 2012 draft will be drafting players who have no ****ing clue how to play football

They could still get Lamar Miller, which would be a great pick for them. Ugly pick for us.

You know your GM better than I do, but I got this from someone I trust. Anyway, I am glad that the Bucs got who they wanted.

It'll take a while for him to catch you with those short arms of his.

Hunt must sacrifice 10 goats every night to his deities thanking them that he plays in the AFC West where his fan base is like a battered wife. He can make any move and within 24 hours most of the fans accept it and start arguing in favor of it.

Imagine for one second he was in the NFC East where he had to compete against a team like the Giants (that know what they are doing) and owners like Jones and Snyder who are actually proactive. They don't always get it done, but at least they try. 3 out 4 NFC East teams moved up to grab the player (who actually played well in college, imagine that) they wanted. Clark points to a shiny object and KC fans get ecstatic - "Well golly gee, it IS shiny and purty. Why were we mad about being one of the worst franchises in the NFL when we have such a shiny coin to stare at?"

There's no party
Like a Direckshun draft party
Because a Direckshun draft party
Is researched.



That's the draft order with sticky notes on the left hand side, so I could move teams around based on trades. The Chiefs are the red sticky, there.

The right hand side is potential first round selections, divided by position. (The only player I didn't have on the board was AJ Jenkins.) Any time a player was selected, I removed them from the board and stuck them to the team that selected them. This picture was before Luck was selected. There's even a small chart at the bottom denoting for anybody at the party what the difference between a 3-4 and a 4-3 is.

You may now all worship my nerd-dom.

CB Janoris Jenkins is very hot right now. Several teams looking to trade up for him, which could lead to team like BAL dropping down again
