jschwartzlions Jim Schwartz We did a lot of mock scenarios and Fairley falling to us was one of our ideals, though we thought it unlikely.

SOD IMHO

Ha! 1/2 way through first round, and you already know how their careers will pan out?

 

[Aaron Rudnicki]

Nate Solder to Patriots

 

[Jeff Pasquino]

Pats took all their clock and then some to take Nate Solder.

 

[Jene Bramel]

Chargers might get a huge break with Jordan falling to them at 18.

From Jerry MacDonald:

Houston passing on Prince Amukamara with its incredibly porous pass defense in favor of Wisconsin defensive end J.J. Watt can only mean one thing _ the TitansTexans are going to make a huge offer to Nnamdi Asomugha when free agency begins

am I missing something here?

Houston is being rumored to land Nnamdi with a big money FA deal. That's what.http://www.ibabuzz.com/oaklandraiders/2011/04/28/9-dallas-smith-10-jacksonville-gabbert-11-houston-watt-12-minnesota-ponder/

Aso will get paid no matter where he goes, why would he choose the Texans? Besides, these draft guru's continue to show an ignorance of how defensive schemes actually work. Phillip's 3-4 scheme eskews corners to focus on the front 7 to create pressure. Corners and defensive backs aren't key in such a scheme.

 

[LHUCKS]

Redskins take Ryan Kerrigan

Meh...not athletic enough.(not just saying that because he's white)Wouldn't be surprised if he runs into AJ Hawk type problems..."not a playmaker" "struggles in pass protection"Not a huge fan.

Pass protection? I don't think they want him to play offensive tackle.14 forced fumbles and led the Big 10 in sacks for the past 2 years? Seems like he makes plays and has a non-stop motor.

Obviously meant pass defense...don't care what he did in the Big10...put him in a conference with athletes...which is what he'll see in the NFL.Guy is AJ Hawk part 2...just not quite as hyped...a little less Hollywood(which I like about him)

 

[GroveDiesel]

Patriots definitely needed some help on the O-line. Good pick. Not sexy, but good pick.

 

[Matt Waldman]

Maybe there's a reason the Patriots liked to trade out of the first round a lot...not sure I like this pick so much. Surprised.

[Lash]

I like Miami going for an oline. This is long overdue.

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 !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I've been half-joking about switching allegiances to Detroit after past 3 drafts. This might be the clincher.

yeah well Schwartz was a former Titan so it's okay for us Titan fans to root for 'emi actually wanted Fairley at pick 1.08at first i was a lil upset that the Titans didnt trade back and get a 2nd and still get Locker if that's who they wanted, but it looks like he wouldnt have made it so they did finealthough the Titans passed on Gabbert for Locker, I don't have that same nauseous feeling I did in '06 when they picked VYoung over Cutler, i'm okay with this unless Fairley goes to 7 pro bowlsprobably because a former Mizzou asst coach is a friend and i have some concerns over Gabbert kudos to Gosseling's mock, he slayed it

Agree with you about VY over Cutler. I wanted Cutler badly, but the more I study QBs (and as difficult as it is) the more nauseous I get that any team drafts a QB so high - regardless of QB (Luck excluded). Kerrigan to Skins...gotta like those Purdue DEs...

yeah the Titans just altered my prediction of getting Luck in 2012 draft #1 pick(although Locker could be next year's Clausen by then LOL, has any team EVER picked two 1st rd QBs back to back?)i liked Locker on Gruden's QB camp so who knows

 

[Jason Wood]

Patriots are so smart...soooooooo smart. Man I hate them.

Also, FWIW have heard rumors that Houston is interested in Safety Michael Huff to go with Aso.

 

[LHUCKS]

I've always been a sucker for athletic Offensive linemen...still seems like a reach though.

 

[Jene Bramel]

Don't know a whole lot about Solder, but Amukamara and Jordan would have been impact adds to that defense.

 

[Raiderfan32904]

Aren't they much brighter than the dull spoons in the room? Genius even?

 

[Sigmund Bloom]

matt and I will talk draft for two hours live right here at 10 eastern

come by and chat or call in (347) 826 7620

 

[Skeletore Eh]

Listening to Berman makes me want to stab myself in the eye with a pencil. Remind me to just watch the commercials on NFL network

 

[Jeff Pasquino]

You like the Solder pick?I agree with O-line, thought Castonzo would be the choice.

 

[Matt Waldman]

Chargers struck gold with this beast. Bargain.

The Liuget puns were horrible

 

[lyon812]

Just look at his stats. He had some pretty decent talent around him on offense and he still never dominated. 55.4 completions last year. 6.8 yards per throw. 17 TD vs. 9

I'm not sold on Locker's ability to succeed in the NFL, but it's worth noting that "decent talent around him" dropped a lot of passes that hit receivers in the hands. A LOT. Every gd game. I was frustrated far more with Kearse and Aguilar.

I have Read Jeremiah Johnson from Cinci is also a possible target in FA. Houston is not known to spend in FA, but with the staff on the hot seat, that may change.

 

[Jeff Pasquino]

So SD take Corey Liuget here. Solid pick.

Several values left.

 

[netnalp]

Giants need Oline, but hard to pass up Prince. They won't draft need, they always take BPA.

 

[Jene Bramel]

Bah, I was hoping to see Liuget in Indy or Chicago. Chargers get a nice player, but Liuget may not have the same impact here as he would've as a penetrating Tampa-2 DT.

 

[Lash]

Solder? Really?

/Mike Golic voice

those in love with NE need to study their drafts lately IMO

Solder is 6'8" and stands up very tall, Brady gonna get hit hard

 

[LHUCKS]

Chargers struck gold with this beast. Bargain.

solid pick...definitely worthy of a mid first rounder.I hate the Chargers front office with a passion, but they do make good draft day decisions.

 

[David Dodds]

Chargers struck gold with this beast. Bargain.

AJ's an ###, but he drafts good players

 

[Aaron Rudnicki]

Castonzo looks like a fit for the Giants

 

[Raiderfan32904]

Why trade up when there is so much value dropping?

 

[Jeff Pasquino]

So - OLine here for the G-men?

 

[Aaron Rudnicki]

Mort tweeting that Giants really liked Solder. Considering Costanzo or Ingram here.

 

[kurtrudder]

Bradshaw owners holding their breath

 

[Jeff Pasquino]

Solder? Really?/Mike Golic voicethose in love with NE need to study their drafts lately IMOSolder is 6'8" and stands up very tall, Brady gonna get hit hard

Definitely saw that on the highlights, but is that the book on him (standing up too tall)? If so, he's not going to do very well.

 

[bigern1000]

Carimi, Costanzo or Ingram...

 

[Jeff Pasquino]

Mort tweeting that Giants really liked Solder. Considering Costanzo or Ingram here.

IIRC there's a coach tie-in with Costanzo

 

[Sigmund Bloom]

Matt and I talking draft live right here!

 

[Jeff Pasquino]

Prince it seems

 

[pghrob]

Prince to Detroit??????????? Did u read that guys lips?

 

[Aaron Rudnicki]

Giants need Oline, but hard to pass up Prince. They won't draft need, they always take BPA.

nice call

 

[netnalp]

I want Prince, Giants been good developing later round olinemen.

YES!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

 

[pghrob]

Guess not and I am seeing things.

 

[RebelINS]

Great pick by the Giants unfortunately.

 

[Lash]

Bradshaw owners holding their breath

whew<---- (in 3 leagues LOL)NYG BPA .. i like that

 

[Jeff Pasquino]

Philly a few picks away and poised to get a good offensive lineman.

Will Bowers go here to TB?

 

[LHUCKS]

I like Prince...kid can play.

 

[pghrob]

gotta love those Giants fans enthusiasm.

 

[Lash]

ingram to INDY?

nah they HAVE to go OL right?

 

[Aaron Rudnicki]

Bucs get a choice of Cameron Jordan or D'Quan Bowers to boost their pass rush.
