2011 NFL Draft

[tehuberc]

The thing about Atlanta is that they don't have any gaping holes to fill. True, their pass rush and secondary need a little help, but they held for the most part of last season and can be helped in free agency. A couple of late first and fourth round picks honestly wouldn't help them that much, especially because a lot of their defense is very young and needs to develop further. Jones on the other hand could be the missing link in their offense. He could provide that spark that really makes the Falcons click. Idk, we'll see how this pans out though

His best attribute is run blocking. Must kill a kid from Madison to be playing for the Bears!

The more I read about this kid, the more I like him. He's got "Chicago Bear" written all over him!


(And anyone who saw Cutler repeatedly get knocked on his butt last year AND who watched the Bears inability to get tough 3rd down yardage knows we need him!)

Was Roger booed?

yeah
maybe it too will become a tradition--boo the first pick, boo goodell

 

[chuck norriss]

My team has managed to remove themselves from the drafting process, until pick 48. Here's a hint: notorious owner. And another: the biggest bust in NFL history--$39M QB.

Ryan Mallett and Da'Quan Bowers are getting SCREWED hard

LOL vikings are up and could have gotten Mallet here, a better passer than Ponder who they traded up to select...
:scowl:

Exactly. Ponder was the mother of all reaches. Even more so than Locker.

I'm still impressed with New Orleans. Great move picking up a proven winner in Ingram who can run behind an already solid line.

A better passer and fits pretty nicely into their system IMO. Rumor Mill strikes again.

I think if you take their leadership and skill side by side, you take Mallett, no question

 

[blendermassacre]

So help me as a Cheifs fan and an Arkansas fan / native, if the Raiders draft Mallett, I'm going to have a conniption

 

[MJ5150]

Darn Raiders took Wisniewski from PSU. I wanted him. But hey, the last one the Steelers drafted, AQ Shipley, flopped.

The lockout has been re-instated.

Damnit. I'm so over this ********. If you've ever played football for any length of time at any competitive level, you know an 18 game season is too long. Maybe someone should dislocate Roger Goodell's shoulder, or tear his ACL, and we'll see how things change.

 

[MJ5150]

LOVE the Gilbert pick.

Now trade Heyward and another pick for Pouncey and we're good to go.

[blendermassacre]

Man.. what a weird draft for the Redskins.

I agree.

Also, I'm looking forward to watching Gard throw Reggie Bush under the bus.

Man... what was A.J. Smith thinking? who the heck did the chargers just pick?? never even heard of the guy... we had cameron jordan available and smith picks... Luiget?? who??

really? while i wish nothing but the worst for my fellow afc wester, your first two picks on d make sense, especially that cb that should be good for punt returns. i just hope he has terrible hands. fumble fumble! woo! hehe...

Though the headline at the top of the league’s official website proclaims that the “lockout [is] back in force” after the ruling from the U.S. Court of Appeals for the Eighth Circuit granted the league’s motion for a temporary stay of the decision ending the work stoppage, the league has not yet re-slammed the door.

“Our attorneys will review the decision and we will advise all clubs as soon as possible on next steps,” NFL spokesman Greg Aiello tells PFT via e-mail.

Of course, it could be that the league has decided not to mention the “L” word while the draft is still occurring. And there’s no pressing reason to re-start the lockout over the weekend, since activity will be minimal.

Still, any team that hasn’t distributed playbooks to its players should be taking full advantage of the fact that the lockout has not officially recommenced. Yet.
