I liked Jordan a bit better than Watt, but it was close. Line of scrimmage out, baby.

great call here. definitely makes sense to get the lineman first and look for DB help later.

 

[Wyld Stallyns]

Love that Watt pick for Houston.

 

[David Dodds]

Lots of defensive talent sliding. Quinn, Fairley, Prince all top 7 talents on some boards.

 

[MikeApf]

Do the Vikings take the best QB here?

 

[bigern1000]

Dalton to MIN here...?

And an all-day sucker for JJ Watt...?

 

[David Dodds]

Do the Vikings take the best QB here?

I think they let the clock expire ala Zman for maximum leverage

Watt and Williams outside, Cushing and Ryans inside is an interesting start to Wade's 3-4. Still need lots of improvement in the secondary. I bet it there was more discussion than they expected with Amukamara and Quinn and Jordan all options there.

 

[netnalp]

I think Minny is going to get McNabb, so they go defense with their pick.

 

[David Dodds]

Yes I think this too

John McClain added another good point. Watt (and Jordan) add subpackage flexibility, as Wade likes to use the 4-2-5 nickel. Watt could have a big impact as a 3-technique on passing downs.

I agree. The veteran QB addition has taken them to NFC Championship games with Favre and Cunningham several years earlier.

 

[Jeff Pasquino]

PONDER!@!!!!!

 

[Aaron Rudnicki]

Ponder to Vikes

 

[renesauz]

WHOA

 

[Wyld Stallyns]

Ponder! wow

 

[rodgev]

how fast do the lions run to pick fairley

 

[I was in the pool]

I like Ponder to MIN

 

[bigern1000]

Ponder...???

 

[David Dodds]

wow. Panic time there

 

[Sup_Yo]

More PACKER dominance!

 

[Jeff Pasquino]

Gosselin still looks pretty darn good

 

[Matt Waldman]

Whoa...spoke too soon, but Ponder is my No.2 QB in this draft...

Lots of support for a QB like him.

 

[Anthony Borbely]

Fairley falls right into the Lions laps...I don't see how they pass him up if they keep their pick.

If they trade, it might be with NE.

 

[Raiderfan32904]

Ponder!!!

 

[Wyld Stallyns]

@AdamSchefter: Detroit is trying to trade out. Badly. [via Twitter]

 

[shader]

Qb run continues!

 

[Jene Bramel]

Vanden Bosch -- Suh -- Fairley -- Avril

Not sure Aaron Rodgers and Jay Cutler want to see that.

 

[amit-nfl]

wowow, Ponder to MIn

and i thought they will think on the present with RB Peterson and trade for Macnabb

 

[Jeff Pasquino]

Minnesota is schooling everyone by drafting a guy that is IR eligible out of the gate, maximizing their roster spots.

 

[GroveDiesel]

wow the Browns schooled the Falcons with that trade (assuming there is a draft next year)

I'll disagree. They got a low 1st, low 2nd, and low 4th round pick this year. And next year it will probably be a low 1st and low 4th. The Browns do need a lot of players, but they'd better get 3 average to above average starters out of that.

 

[David Dodds]

how fast do the lions run to pick fairley

This is SICK if it plays out. What a turnaround of this franchise. Take him.

 

[Buckna]

My guess is Fairley keeps falling and lions go Prince herE

 

[GECKO]

situation may dictate 5-6 QB's drafted in first round

 

[Jeff Pasquino]

The Ponder pick isn't as bad as many are making out - yes, it was too soon for him, but they're still going to go get McNabb and redshirt Ponder.

 

[Jene Bramel]

Vanden Bosch -- Suh -- Fairley -- AvrilNot sure Aaron Rodgers and Jay Cutler want to see that.

Yeah, not exactly the second coming of the Steel Curtain, but the Lions haven't had that kind of talent since Porcher and Elliss.

 

[MikeApf]

Rick Gosselin has reported that he thought the Redskins were targeting Christian Ponder. When they traded down, I wonder if they thought they could nab him at 16. Now with Ponder gone, do the Redskins pray for Andy Dalton or do they go defense? With so many of the top QBs selected, the Skins may have to roll with a QB in round 2 and try to get a defensive steal at 16...

 

[ConstruxBoy]

Wow

 

[DetroitDragons]

Prince or Fairley for the Lions

 

[shader]

Fairly and Suh!!!

 

[Jeff Pasquino]

DET runs up for Fairley

 

[Raiderfan32904]

I'll re-disagree. Falcons got bent.

 

[shader]

Fairly and Suh!!!

 

[David Dodds]

AWESOME. This is HUGE

 

[Sammy Traveller]

Vanden Bosch -- Suh -- Fairley -- AvrilNot sure Aaron Rodgers and Jay Cutler want to see that.

And Ponder.

 

[Anthony Borbely]

how fast do the lions run to pick fairley

This is SICK if it plays out. What a turnaround of this franchise. Take him.

HELL YEAH !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

 

[Aaron Rudnicki]

Bills would have taken Gabbert if Dareus was gone

 

[Raiderfan32904]

Fairly and Suh!!!

aint fair!

 

[KiddLattimer]

Wow thats a good looking DL in DET

 

[Jeff Pasquino]

Nice pace to this draft so far. Almost halfway after 82 minutes.
