OT NFL Draft Open Thread

Submitted by Dark Blue on
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.

Looks like the Lions finally found a spot and a pick that was so obvious that they couldn't fuck it up. This is the first pick I've been excited about since Barry Sanders.

I know that all the expert's think the Lions made a great pick even though the expert opinion of paying a DT in the second slot are a bit high. What about the economics of exciting the Lions fanbase? Selling tickets - selling Jerseys, etc. If the Lions traded down, it would have been a complete let down. Kudos to the front office for taking Suh.

Eric Turner...Pat Bates...didn't they both go early? Shawn Taylor was pretty good. Kenny Easley (thanks Boom) was a great one.

Turner was a pro bowler until he...ya know...died. I remember Bates at A&M, but couldn't tell you one thing he did in the pros.

I probably would've been tempted to grab Okung and really shore up the left side of that line. He and Alberts (the kid from UVa) would give you a great base to build your offense around.

Gruden surprised me this season. I thought he would be awful on tv, "Mr. Personality". But he's actually pretty good.
