Cowboys decided they didn't want to show up to the draft today, what the hell? I don't want to go to work on Monday but I will, fuck Jerry.

LOL. The Raiders just took a guy ranked as the 73rd best safety in the 2nd round. mitchell will be DAMN good. whoever ranked him as 73rd is a moron. The Bears were going to take Mitchell at #49 but the Raiders grabbed him 2 picks ahead of us. heres an article on Mitchell

In my opinion, the Patriots have had the best draft so far... Belichick continues to prove why he is a genius i disagree. chung was early, brace is overrated cuz he got to play next to bj raji Chung is a stud... 4 year starter and is still only 21. Put up solid numbers at the combine. Had nearly 400 tackles at Oregon. Fits NE pretty well. I think it's a solid pick.

The two guys I wanted for the Packers all along were Tyson Jackson or Eugene Monroe. When Monroe got to Jacksonville I was hoping they would take Crabtree. I was guessing Ted Thompson would take Crabtree and have him as Donald Driver's replacement after this season. Raji is a guy we had to have if we are going to run the 3-4 successfully. Hopefully, he is as good as a lot of people are making him out to be. I am worried that Brace was part of the reason he was so good in college, but you can argue the same thing about Brace.
Clay Matthews is a perfect guy for us to add. Some teams supposedly had him as high as #10 on their boards which we must have to of made the trade up we did. This is Ted Thompson's 5th draft and I believe he had traded up twice before this. Once in the 4th round for Jeremy Thompson and the other time was in the 5th or 6th. Ted definitely prefers quantity over quality and for him to move our 2nd and two 3rds to get this guy he has to think he is going to be special.
We now can move Ryan Pickett to the other DE and have Jolly and Harrell as backups. Hopefully we can sign one of the 3 good 3-4 DEs left like Kevin Carter. We definitely filled our two biggest holes and Raji allows us to greatly improve our other DE. It is going to be tough to win unless one of these two guys is a complete stud, but I am excited about our draft.

Also, it looks like all the Patriots wanting Pat White was a smokescreen. Probably wanted the Fins to make a move up to get him and cost them some additional picks.
I love Pat White, but I don't think he was worth a 2nd round pick (unlike every other WVU fan alive). He will be a great guy to have for the wildcat and will open up a lot of things for that formation. As a passer he struggles going through his progressions and normally looks at his #1 then #2 then #1 again. He is so fragile that I don't think he can take a constant pounding in the wildcat or as a QB if he doesn't have a good line.
If he is given some time to develop he could end up as a very good to great player, but I think he will always be the injury plagued guy who would be a big difference maker if he wasn't.

I'm happy so far. Dolphins got two CB's. Davis has a ton of potential to be a beast. I knew we liked White but not in the 2nd round but hopefully he pans out. Also Patrick Turner was a solid pick too. He's huge TD's all day.

hate to say it but the patriots have done very well for themselves in this draft. i love their 2nd round picks and brandon tate, and then they trade two 3rd for two 2010 2nds. fucking ridiculous
love the shonn greene pick. it's boring to see us not picking too much but tannenbaum goes with quality over quantity... if we end up with two starters through this draft (sanchez/greene), i'd be very happy.

Yeah it does suck not seeing us to much in this draft but this guy greene looks pretty solid, hopefully he is a guy who can take over after TJ leaves. We might go all offense this draft, seeing as we only have 1 pick left I think they might get a WR in the 6th round.

WR is still a glaring need but I don't think there's anything left that would give us as immediate impact

When do the Patriots not do well? besides Jerod Mayo, they haven't draft that well in recent years.
