I feel Detroit would have been beter off taking Jason Smith #1 overall, then build on that with #20, then worry about QB later. The worst thing a team can do is ruin their QB with no help at OL. You know that Detroit will be top 10 next year as well, and probably top 3. I don't know about you but I would rather have Bradford over Stafford.

Nope. Matter of fact Bradford wont be the best QB in next years class either.

I'm not saying that Bradford will be the best QB next year, but he IS BETTER THAN STAFFORD!!! It makes more sense to draft Jason Smith this year, and if you're right and someone else is better than Bradford next year, well, that makes it even more likely to get a QB better than Stafford next year if there is two of them ETA: I'm a firm believer in building the OL and DL before the QB. How many good QBs have been ruined by a bad OL and no weapons? and no defense?

sorry for bumping my own post, but I added some stuff I think is important.

I agree, but I don't think Stafford will be expected to play right away. If Det throws him into the fire like that he will need a miracle to not suffer greatly. Plus, IMO Stafford is a franchise QB (and he must be to Det as well). You build around franchise QBs. With the 20 pick and the 33 pick and likely a high pick in next years draft, there will be plenty of opportunity for Det to do this right. That is the critical element.

Gotta love the know-it-all guys .... yeah Atlanta was supposed to be a top 10 pick this year too....

Raji looks like he just blazed up and rolled out of bed to go sit on his couch..

and he's sweating just sitting on the couchthat can't be good

.....so true.

 

[GOB]

With the increase in players invited to New York and, well KC making solid picks, could we see a more uncomfortable scene than Aaron Rodgers' wait a few years ago?

 

[dparker713]

These teams need to figure out - no one is trading up this high, deal with it and submit your card quicker and get this thing moving.

 

[Evilgrin 72]

Talk about a meteoric rise. I got Jackson for the 6-time Champion Steelers in a 32-man mock a few months ago, and now he goes #3. I think the pick sucks. A 5-technique in a 3-4 is not worthy of the #3 overall pick. You can find a guy who can play that spot well in round 2 or later.

Completely agree...I hate that pick.

I actually think there's a decent chance Jarron Gilbert becomes a better 3-4 end and he'sd have been there in round 2, maybe even round 3.

 

[Pat Patriot]

I'm not a big fan of Brian Cushing. I hope the Pats stay very clear of him.

 

[LHUCKS]

Curry is a solid pick here...good direction for the Hawks.

 

[Tecumseh]

 

[MrPhoenix]

First stunner of the draft, IMO.

Damn, the Rams have to hate having to see this guy two times a year.

 

[Kleck]

Smart pick for Seattle.

 

[millertyme1]

Love the Curry pick. Tremendous fit.

 

[Hoss_Cartwright]

Great pick by Seattle. Didn't get sucked into the hype of Sanchez.

 

[Evilgrin 72]

Seahawks may have gotten the best player in the draft at #4. Great choice.

 

[munchkin]

As a point of discussion; would taking Andre Smith #1 overall been a greater risk/reward than taking Stafford? If Andre has the more talent than any of the other tackles would it have been wise to take him to build the line around? Again, I am just wondering what some of your thoughts are.

 

[FreeBaGeL]

Ok, so here's something I was thinking about this Curry pick.

Julian Peterson is a pretty good player. With rookie contracts the way they are, they'll probably end up paying Curry as much or more than Peterson, right? And if he ends up as good as Peterson then you'd have to be pretty happy with that.

Now, if the Hawks had traded the #4 pick for Cory Redding everyone probably would've freaked out. But most were OK with Peterson for Redding. Why?

 

[Mr. Brownstone]

This is playing out well for the Jags right now.

 

[Evilgrin 72]

I'm not a big fan of Brian Cushing. I hope the Pats stay very clear of him.

I think the Pats take Darius Butler at #23 if they don't move down and go LB in round 2.

 

[Billy1x]

Crabtree for the Browns so they can trade Edwards to Giants?

 

[money.never.sleeps]

Curry is a solid pick here...good direction for the Hawks.

Agreed. Guessing he'll play SS with loss of Peterson?

 

[JZilla]

What's that big bright green blob on Curry's head?

 

[jurb26]

As a point of discussion; would taking Andre Smith #1 overall been a greater risk/reward than taking Stafford? If Andre has the more talent than any of the other tackles would it have been wise to take him to build the line around? Again, I am just wondering what some of your thoughts are.

IMO, Smith is the best tackle in this draft despite his recent troubles. Still, Stafford was the best player though.

Come on sweetness, you know that I'm not a know-it-all. Do you really think Detroit won't be a top 10 pick next year?

 

[LHUCKS]

Kiper refusing to quit pimping Sanchez...Jesus, does he own Mark Sanchez stock??

 

[The Man With No Name]

Browns will take Raji, trade down, or take Crabtree then trade him.

 

[proninja]

I don't know much about Curry, but I have no idea why we'd get rid of Peterson to spend our #4 pick on a LB when Ruskell's been pretty adept at plucking damn good LB's later in the draft. I'm no expert though

 

[Billy1x]

I'm not a big fan of Brian Cushing. I hope the Pats stay very clear of him.

I think the Pats take Darius Butler at #23 if they don't move down and go LB in round 2.

Pats trying to move up to 8 or 9. Not sure who they are after? BJ?

 

[AnonymousBob]

Curry was a surprise pick...and a great one.

 

[jurb26]

Butler will be gone by then. NO will take him in a slight shocker.

 

[T Bell]

Maybe he owns Pac-10 stock.

 

[LHUCKS]

Mort calling it the "trade spot" for Sanchez.

IMO, Smith is the best tackle in this draft despite his recent troubles. Still, Stafford was the best player though.

Im always amazed when 4 out of every 5 years the best player in the draft is a QB. Stafford isn't close to the best player.

 

[mr. furley]

Mark Sanchez going to be mentioned as a possibility in every slot until he goes?

how much of a cut is ESPN getting of his contract?

 

[jurb26]

Those watching this on NFL network, is it equally annoying how the just wont stop talking about Snachez? Seriously, why does ESPN feel the need to hype this guy so much?

 

[Mr. Brownstone]

Kiper refusing to quit pimping Sanchez...Jesus, does he own Mark Sanchez stock??

Hmmm, sounds familiar.

 

[Evilgrin 72]

I think the Browns might take Orakpo here if they don't move.

4 out of 5? This is the 1st time in the last 5 years that I've had a QB as the top guy.

 

[LHUCKS]

Those watching this on NFL network, is it equally annoying how the just wont stop talking about Snachez? Seriously, why does ESPN feel the need to hype this guy so much?

No, not really. Mayock is the man...and has some pretty good insider info.I still like Kiper though...good schtick.

 

[Courtjester]

After reading all the pre draft info on Curry, I have become a fan. One of the classiest guys in the draft and I am hoping he does well in Seattle.

But DAMN!!! Seattle's new unis are butt-ugly....

 

[Tecumseh]

Wow. here we go.

 

[Evilgrin 72]

Here we go, sanchez to the Jets

 

[Zigg]

Those watching this on NFL network, is it equally annoying how the just wont stop talking about Snachez? Seriously, why does ESPN feel the need to hype this guy so much?

Sanchez talk in minimal. Until now I assume.

 

[MrPhoenix]

Oh dear God, it's the Jets that moved up.

 

[SPM]

not too much at all

 

[scratcher]

Well its not the Eagles but Browns trade!

Belichick said prior to the draft that the chances of them trading into the top-10 was "less than zero." Smokescreen?

 

[SayWhat?]

Four picks in and I'm about 1 more Deion interview from punching a hole in my TV.

 

[Evilgrin 72]

Next year's #1?

 

[GOB]

I love the Jets fans...you can't beat them.
