2011 NFL Draft Thread

Cobb is actually at the draft???? Was he a projected first rounder?

 

With the draft cut up into 3 days, they've started inviting guys projected to go early in each of the first two days. So projected 1st and 2nd round guys are there now.

That makes sense.

[dew1679666265]

Is he the only guy left who is actually there?

 

Yep.

Well you can never have too many good linemen but the Bears need to find a WR who can run a route correctly and isn't a midget.

 

I really like Paea and think he's a great fit and meets a need but I wouldn't have complained about Hankerson or Little. Hopefully they address WR in free agency because I'm not a fan of what's left out there.

 

Who is out there in free agency as far as receivers go? They need size obviously. I like Owens, but no one else does.

 

Santonio Holmes is my top choice if the Jets don't bring him back. Other possibilities are Sidney Rice, Vincent Jackson, Malcolm Floyd, Braylon Edwards and James Jones.

Luke Stocker's dropping more than I thought he would. I thought he'd be the 2nd or, at worst, 3rd TE off the board.

[dew1679666265]

Houston's a really good pick by KC.

[dew1679666265]

Mallett to New England? That'd be really interesting.

I absolutely hate that pick for Dallas. Too many other needs to take a RB.

 

I can number at least 20 guys I would have rather taken there.

[rawaction]

Dallas quietly having a great draft. Lot of upside in their picks. Tyron Smith, Bruce Carter and Demarco Murray are all first round talents, the latter two had injuries that pushed them back.

Yeah, Holmes would be perfect. The Bears would have drafted him had the STeelers not traded up in front of them that year. Still bitter over that. James Jones is my #2 choice. I think he'd be a great fit.

Lombardi reporting on NFL Network the Pats will take Mallett here.

[rawaction]

Stop me if you've heard this before. Wonderful job being done by the Patriots in the draft.

[vance_the_cubs_fan]

While that's early for Ridley.

Not a fan of Ridley here, too early.

[dew1679666265]

On a side note, NFL Network has a great crew doing the draft today. Mayock, Charles Davis and Billick are giving really good analysis.

Wow interesting pick for the Pats.

 

And I love the Cobb pick for Green Bay as well.

Yeah, that comment was to the Mallett pick. Ridley is a terrible pick, IMO. They went RB the previous pick. And Ridley was a 2-3 round reach.

[vance_the_cubs_fan]

The Patriots were the one team that really takes no risk while picking Mallett. They have a ton of picks and do not have an immediate need for QB.

[rawaction]

Wow interesting pick for the Pats.

Cobb is Percy Harvin without the high profile college experience.

Wow you think that high of him? If so my love for this pick might have turned into marriage.

I'm actually not a huge fan of their draft prior to the Ridley pick. Solder's a nice player, but I like some of the later tackles better (Carimi) and Vereen fills a need but isn't a great second round pick.

 

I really like the Mallett pick, though. I don't dislike their draft, I just don't think it's been particularly special.

I don't know that he's as athletic as Harvin, but they're similar type players. Good comparison.

Yeah man. The exact same size. Harvin's a little faster, a little quicker, but not substantially so. They can do all the same things.

[dew1679666265]

I'm lukewarm on Jurrell Casey. Definitely a need pick and I like the comparisons to Mike Patterson. Still wish we had gone Fairley in the first, though.

That sounds awesome. Heard he can return punts as well which is big for Green Bay.

 

Also, a little late on this but I was so scared that Bowers was going to fall back to the Lions as well. But man they are going to be tough this year. Not used to this.
