i heard ATL may be interested in trading up to #1 with Miami to secure Ryan. How would this affect moving up. do they have more ammo now?

I don't know if the difference between 3 and 5 would have changed much as far as a possible trade up to the number 1 spot, but the 3rd pick (and other stuff) would be much better for the Dolphins. I pray to God the Fins can trade down to number 3.

That's their biggest win in a couple years.

x10... I would love for the dolphins to trade down a few spots.

Shocking that Al Davis doesn't win a coin toss run by the league.

It would be dumb for Atlanta to move up. For a team starting over, draft picks are gold. With the #3 and two second rounders, you can lay a nice foundation.

And I doubt Miami is going to take Ryan with the #1. I suppose you could see a trade if they actually do, but not until then.

I heard atlanta does not want to trade up and does not want a qb at 3 eithertoo much money for too risky a propositiontheyve lost grady jackson, kerney, and now colemanDT seems like the pick

I think the "buzz" around Atlanta taking a QB is just to get a team like Baltimore to trade up. Ryan isn't special enough to go #3 overall, IMO.I'd say the chances are 50%/25%/25% between d-line, QB, and Jake Long.

Agree with that . Like that you have 0% McFadden.

I've never been that high on him but went with the flow. Given all the needs that Atlanta has, and the fact that RB is the easiest spot to fill with a later pick, McFadden makes no sense.Of course, "making sense" usually doesn't factor into the drafting process of several teams.

I hope KC did not just lose Jake Long

I hope KC did not just lose Jake Long

NFLDraftcountdown had this to say today:

• Just saw some footage of Michigan OT Jake Long weighing in and one word comes to mind: IMPRESSIVE. Long came in at 6-7 and 313 lbs. and he carries the weight extremely well, almost to the point where he doesn't look like an offensive lineman. I'm not 100% sure but I think I might have even seen a six-pack... There have been rumors swirling for quite a while now that Long is going to work out a lot better than people think and if that winds up being the case those who've been questioning his ability to play left tackle in the NFL might have to reevaluate their opinions.

I've said all along that he's been overanalyzed and is every bit the prospect that Joe Thomas was.

I'm not convinced Ryan is worth the #8 pick, let alone 1.1. I'd be if the Ravens actually gave up more to get him. I'm no talent scout, but it seems to me that, assuming McFadden goes somewhere in the top 7, the ravens would be best off sitting back at 8 and taking what's left between C. Long, J.Long, Dorsey, Ellis, Clady, Gholston, or one of the top CBs and not paying a mint in draft picks and contract. OT, DE and CB would all fill immediate needs, and having an extra quality DT is a "problem" lots of teams would probably like to have. I guess if Ozzie thinks Ryan is an uberstud QB, it would shore up a serious need position in a year or two, but if it costs more than the 8, they'd better be damn sure of what they're getting. And for that price it had better be more than just a serviceable starter.

Shocking that Al Davis doesn't win a coin toss run by the league.

Lost one, won the other I believe as KC could also have picked 4th

There was only one coin toss. KC could not have picked ahead of Oakland. Once Atlanta won the toss against Oakland, the order was set.

I heard atlanta does not want to trade up and does not want a qb at 3 either

Didn't Arthur Blank attend a couple BC games this year? I he an alumnus or is there someone else on that team that would attract his attention that much?

 

[brock]

That's their biggest win in a couple years.

When Herm Edwards was ask what He thought of them losing the coin toss.

Herm said we play to win, we bought in a ref and had Him flip a coin a 1,000 times.

We did all we could.

How did this go down?

KC vs Oakland, winner played Atlanta. Something like that?
