OT NFL Draft Open Thread

Submitted by Dark Blue on April 22nd, 2010 at 6:18 PM

I figured I'd start an open thread for all of our NFL draft needs. About 40 minutes until it starts. C'mon St. Louis take Bradford. My Lions need Suh.

hear me out, i'm part of the WHO DAT nation: they have limited needs outside of LB and perhaps line help but holes they can EASILY fill with 2nd and 3rd rd picks. drafting Clausen and trading him for 2-4 picks not only helps them add depth through the draft but makes him look like a frat's passed 'dish'

with BPA? Guess that says alot about them not being sure on what they're going to get with Cromartie. Can't believe Kindles still there. Fuck my life if the Vikes take Clausen. If he gets a year or 2 to sit behind Favre, look out.

Way to go Lions. Good pick. Still think they should have gone left tackle with Bruce Campbell, but that's a good pick.

Hm. I hope this works out better than the last time we traded back into the first round for an RB. (Jones.) Thought that was a good move then, but it didn't work.

like that pick for the Lions. Too small and injury prone. Think they would have been better picking up a 3 down back later in the draft.

Get a player like Spikes, or maybe Mays and convert him to LB, to fill the glaring hole in their front 7. that puts them a few CB's away from having decent players at every position.

of Hughes. He got alot of his sacks against Mac cakes. I think he fits better in a 3-4.

It might have actually been Kiper. I thought it was Mel saying "some dumbass picks." EDSBS tweeted Gruden, but then he backtracked to say maybe Kiper. If it was Mel Kiper calling anyone's picks "dumbass picks", my irony meter might have just exploded.

Kindle and Clausen are the most talented guys left. Hopefully GB moves up in the 2nd and take Kindle. He'd go well with Matthews.

=). he would be a complete lock for the 1st round but a story broke that he has narcolepsy(no idea wat that is) and there were also concerns about his knee. im not sure where i want to see him go, just not the raiders. EDIT: i was reading the comments and i was doing the SAME THING u were. "kindle has to go here.....*no*, thats ok cuz kindle is going here......*no*" frustrating night as a longhorn fan. word on the streets was that the eagles/49ers were a lock to take earl thomas so wen the eagles moved up i automatically assumed that the eagles were gonna take ET. of course, brandon graham is a great pick for them but still it got my hopes up. THEN earl thomas gets drafted to the seahawks where ill never hear about him again(same as orakpo even tho he had a pro bowl season), kindle drops to 2nd round, and colt is drafted behind tim tebow. rough night. on the other hand, pretty good pick for my titans in derrick morgan but dam i was hoping they would take kindle.
