So happy Packers traded that pick.

 

[pgreenfan]

Is it possible to get a trade tracker on the first post.

 

[3C's]

Jets....TE?

 

[Balco]

Love TT stockpiling the picks.

 

[Aaron Rudnicki]

Dustin Keller to the Jets.

Schefter taking all suspense out of the draft today.

 

[Twilight]

Jets trade up for Brohm here?

Would be a great move if they did. I wouldn't have minded the Packers nabbing him, either.Best qb in the draft.

Don't understand it for either. Brohm isn't a significant improvement over the QBs already there, so why pay 1st round money for a QB?

 

[cj*]

Keller to the jets per schefter

 

[Andy Dufresne]

So no one likes the Texans pick? I'm listening to sports radio here in Houston and they are saying he was picked because his athleticism is what they need at LT for the new scheme. They have no 2nd round pick....

I like it. He's ideal for the scheme. I saw a website that broke down the numbers important for a tackle in the ZBS and Brown was elite compared to the others.

 

[jurrassic]

I can't help but notice all of the consistently good teams are trading back and all of the perenially bad teams are trading up.

 

[nerangers]

as a Clemens and Pennington owner....no QB please...till I can trade them! lol

Dustin Keller to the Jets.Schefter taking all suspense out of the draft today.

And you taking the suspense out for us watching ESPN.

 

[Andy Dufresne]

I think Groves heart issue (not character, he had heart surgery not too long ago), is going to cause him to slip far in this draft.

Wouldn't mind him falling to Minnesota!

Schefter taking all suspense out of the draft today.

Doesn't really matter to me if it's Schefter or Goodell that announces it.

 

[mcintyre1]

Henne looks a lot like Roethlisberger.

 

[massraider]

Anytime the Jets can take a TE in the first, it is a good draft.

His athleticism really stood out. Tight End at the beginning of his career.

[hammerva]

If mayock is right then this could be real fun

 

[Aaron Rudnicki]

has there ever been a draft where 0 WRs were taken in round 1?

 

[McJose]

@ the fat Jets fans poiting to their hats and jerseys like we don't know they're Jet fans.

 

[Chaos Commish]

I can't help but notice all of the consistently good teams are trading back and all of the perenially bad teams are trading up.

From my contest:6. Name a team to trade up in or into the first round during the draft.Saints, Jaguars, Chiefs, Ravens, Panthers, Atlanta, Cowboys,Texans, Jets7. Name a team to trade down in or out of the first round during the draft.Patriots, Ravens, Lions, Texans, Eagles, Redskins, Seahawks, Packers

 

[TheCheat]

Mute the TV, and put on 124 on the Sirius radio!!!

 

[faux_bear]

poorly kept secret...Dolphins going to take Groves...heart issue is very minor.

 

[mr. furley]

What was Kiper mouthing to the crowd?

 

[cj*]

lmao @ jet fans

 

[stp-d]

has there ever been a draft where 0 WRs were taken in round 1?

NFLN is saying a very long time

 

[Twilight]

has there ever been a draft where 0 WRs were taken in round 1?

I think they said it last happened in '90

 

[nerangers]

love the Jet fans!

 

[Balco]

Glad the Jets took Keller, don't have to worry about the Packers taking him. Part time player who can't block. You can get players like that on Day 2.

 

[McJose]

What was Kiper mouthing to the crowd?

"call me"

 

[QuizGuy66]

Keller to the jets per schefter

this will be awesome..."BOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!"

LOL We got our Jets BOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO pick anyway -QG

 

[GroveDiesel]

They needed to trade up for him?

And again, it's getting really old when teams trade up and then take the entire clock to make their pick. No excuse for that. Goodell needs to get that changed for next year. 2-3 minutes max when you trade up IMO.

 

[NDMatt]

Does anyone know where to find a summary of the details of each trade today?

 

[vandyt]

Why did they trade that high for Harvey? I'm a Gator homer and I wouldn't take him anywhere near that highly.

i think it's because there are not alot of Top end Rush DE in this draft. I think they went alittle high but who says he make any further than say.... 13.

Jacksonville gave up as much to get Harvey as the Vikings did to get J. Allen. Allen is a proven NFL player. To give that much for Harvey is a lot.

HINT: Look at A) age B) contract C) nfl substance abuse policy

A) Age - Not an issue, Allen just turned 26 years old. Should be entering his primeB) Contract - Allen is a proven commodity, he should be rewarded.C) Abuse policy - Yes, a question. But by all accounts, he has stopped drinking and the Vikings did their research on him.

A) Yes, but Harvey will play 3+ more years than Allen. B) You don't understand why paying a guy $20+ million less is a benefit? C) Teams did "research" on Lawrence Phillips too.

"thanks for the mortgage payments"

 

[Raider Nation]

The world champs are sitting pretty. Their needs are FS, OLB & WR, and there's TONS of top talent available at each.

-Kenny Phillips

-Quentin Groves

-Any WR they want

 

[Cowtippers]

How does my hair look??

 

[LHUCKS]

NFL Network said no there hasn't since the draft was televised or something like that.

 

[Statorama]

Anytime the Jets can take a TE in the first, it is a good draft.

Freaking Jets and their for TE'sEdit to add: Didn't they sign Bubba Franks in the offseason? I hope I'm wrong, because if they did, drafting ANOTHER TE there is the biggest bone-headed first round choice in the history of the draft.

 

[stp-d]

What was Kiper mouthing to the crowd?

"call me"

actually it was, "any idea who the Giants will pick, because i'm getting paid to say something, and i got nothing!"

 

[Pigskin P]

Balmer and Keller - solid back to back picks. Way to pass on them both, Seahawks!!!!!

 

[nerangers]

Wow, with a few players slipping, too bad the Pats don't have the 31st pick still...

 

[Otis]

God the jets suck

 

[Yankee23Fan]

And now, the Super Bowl Champion New York Giants...

 

[Balco]

The world champs are sitting pretty. Their needs are FS, OLB & WR, and there's TONS of top talent available at each.-Kenny Phillips-Quentin Groves-Any WR they want

I think they definitely go safety here. Phillips could be the guy.

 

[vandyt]

Giants will take a WR. Burress is about to be a contract problem. Toomer aging.

 

[Chunky Soup]

Does anyone know where to find a summary of the details of each trade today?

Search down?

 

[Rodeojones]

Balmer and Keller - solid back to back picks. Way to pass on them both, Seahawks!!!!!

Unacceptable on the Seahawks part.

I'm pretty lazy, so no.
