[Brandon494]

WHAT!!!!!!

[pittstang5]

Wow

[Deputy Nutz]

motherfucker, Irvin is gone, Seattle taking a huge risk, huge upside pick

[imscott72]

And we get our first WTF??

[Cheesehead Craig]

Just stunned he went that high.

[Deputy Nutz]

Pretty easy guy to coach, one sentence, "go get the qb"

[pbmax]

motherfucker, Irvin is gone, Seattle taking a huge risk, huge upside pick

That was your speed guy, right?

Wonder if this is Pete or John calling the shot?

[gbgary]

adam schefter keeps scooping everyone.

[Bretsky]

GOTTA LOVE THAT PICK......and the PR 2nd round draft pick goes off the board pick 15

[George Cumby]

irvin a reach? i havent had the time to pay attention

[Joemailman]

I wonder if they separated a shoulder with that reach.

[Deputy Nutz]

Pretty easy guy to coach, one sentence, "go get the qb"

because he ain't gonna understand anything else,

That's me quoting me

[red]

I like Kendall Wright.....

think he'll last?

for me, he's a little too close to harvin. i would go with a big physical guy to go with the speedy threat or harvin, like Sanu

[Deputy Nutz]

adam schefter keeps scooping everyone.

That guy is fag

[Bretsky]

Is it almost time to start the countdown of guys we'd really like to see in GB ????????

Last year I started it and they the final five picks took the five I wanted off my wishlist and we were left with Sherrod

[red]

GOTTA LOVE THAT PICK......and the PR 2nd round draft pick goes off the board pick 15

get that shit off the board, bring me perry or the white guy

[Joemailman]

That pick just pushed somebody down to the Packers who didn't figure to be there.

[Rastak]

think he'll last?

for me, he's a little too close to harvin. i would go with a big physical guy to go with the speedy threat or harvin, like Sanu


He's sort of a project but with upside I think.....maybe Quick in late 2nd or early 3rd....not sure.

[Cheesehead Craig]

Can't wait for the Jets fans to start booing

[George Cumby]

That pick just pushed somebody down to the Packers who didn't figure to be there.

sweet

[pbmax]

irvin a reach? i havent had the time to pay attention

According to conventional mocks, yes. Lots of physical talent but raw.

[Smeefers]

Pete carroll spends a lot of his free time going into projects and talkin to kids about thier future. Maybe he can keep irving the jail bird clean.

[Joemailman]

http://www.nfl.com/draft/2012/profiles/bruce-irvin?id=2532871

OVERVIEW
Irvin is a compelling prospect whose athletic ability is as unique as his path to the NFL. An electrifying pass rusher who will fit as either a specialist defensive end or an outside linebacker in a 3-4 scheme, Irvin uses a flurry of moves to get to the quarterback. His uncanny ability to maneuver his undersized frame around and through offensive linemen helped him tally a number of sacks at West Virginia. A player who is hampered by his size and amount of snaps taken at a high level, Irvin should be selected within the first two rounds of the draft by a team looking for a boost in its ability to get to the quarterback.
ANALYSIS
STRENGTHS Irvin has an array of moves that he uses when working the outside on an offensive tackle. He can use an explosive plant and drive that allows him to get under the chin of a tackle and disengage quickly to gain separation, or simply use his short-area burst to dip and run around a blocker. He is a stellar outside-run defender and rarely lets plays get outside of him even though he struggles to hold an edge at the point of attack. His athletic ability is what allows him to be a read-and-react player in the run game yet still be effective. He can keep his balance even when shocked by much bigger linemen and is a reliable tackler when he gets to the ball. Irvin would be an ideal option at outside linebacker in a 3-4 defense, where he can focus solely on rushing the passer.
WEAKNESSES Although he was effective as a run defender in his senior year, for the better part of Irvin's career he struggled to stay on the field on non-passing downs. He is inexperienced as a three-down defender, and it remains to be seen if he can be a reliable option defending the run. He also surprisingly struggles when given the task of covering tight ends one-on-one, and up to this point has been widely considered a pass rush only option for the West Virginia defense.

[Bretsky]

get that shit off the board, bring me perry or the white guy

Merciles...Upshaw...Jones...Mcclelin...Ingram.....

[woodbuck27]

Good news for us.

Seattle goes with OLB, Bruce Irvin. I HAD HIM (MAYBE?) TO US LATE SECOND ROUND.

Note: The last man out of West Virginia was the one and only...Adam 'Pacman' Jones.

[pbmax]

adam schefter keeps scooping everyone.

It was him or Judge.

I just recalled. The NFL asked the networks not to broadcast the pick before the announcement. Wonder if that is the reason for e TV delay?

[George Cumby]

According to conventional mocks, yes. Lots of physical talent but raw.

copy. thanks, PB

[Bretsky]

12 picks before us........Let's get some dam OL drafted !!!!!

[Brando19]

I've got a feeling Green Bay takes Upshaw or Perry.

[pbmax]

Merciles...

Call him Ming ...

[red]

Merciles...Upshaw...Jones...Mcclelin...Ingram.....

damn, i forgot about upshaw, i just assumed all along that he would be gone waaay before we draft

MOVE UP AND GET HIM TT!!!!!!

[Bretsky]

It was him or Judge.

I just recalled. The NFL asked the networks not to broadcast the pick before the announcement. Wonder if that is the reason for e TV delay?

Absoluely the reason

MANY MANY fans called into the NFL network the last couple months complaining on how the dam broadcasts are taking the suspense out of this by showing them on their cell phones. The NFL Listened

[Rastak]

Coples to Jets....

[Bretsky]

damn, i forgot about upshaw, i just assumed all along that he would be gone waaay before we draft

MOVE UP AND GET HIM TT!!!!!!

I think a good one will fall. I'm not moving up

[Cheesehead Craig]

Dammit, they didn't boo the pick

[Joemailman]

http://www.nfl.com/draft/2012/profiles/quinton-coples?id=2532818

OVERVIEW
Coples was on the radars of NFL scouts long before the 2012 NFL Draft. Coples possesses a rare combination of size, speed, athletic ability and versatility, having played numerous roles across the defensive line. Some have questioned his consistency, but Coples still has been able to produce at a high level. He has, at times, seemed to be on cruise control, teams won't be able to ignore his natural ability and the physical presence he would bring to any defense. He can play defensive end in either a 4-3 or 3-4 scheme, and should be selected early in the first round.
ANALYSIS
STRENGTHS Coples has speed, power and a massive frame, making him an uncommon prospect for the defensive line. He can trigger off the line of scrimmage, using his strong hands and overall girth to rush the passer. While he doesn't have an array of pass-rush moves, his pure power allows him to be disruptive and productive. Quinton plays the run very well for a tall, athletic pass-rusher, and has successfully defended the run both inside and out. His strength and body control let him stay up through double-teams and continue to make plays towards the ball. His footwork is just slightly above average for his size, but he overcomes this with a natural ability and understanding of how to leverage the point to overcome a would-be blocker. This will make him attractive to teams that run a 3-4 scheme, because they can mesh Coples on the line to both rush the passer and be a stout run defender. He has undisputed first-round athletic ability for his size.
WEAKNESSES Coples' motor was the only question mark throughout his collegiate career. At times, he disappeared from the action. While he is a great interior player, Coples didn't see much action outside the box and his lateral movement can be an Achilles heel for him when running down plays. There are also question marks surrounding his ability to use his hands, and his ability to ignite his feet and hips to make quick-twitch plays. He can seem as if he's moving in slow motion at times.

[mmmdk]

Coples to Jets....

What? No TE to Jets?? LOL :lol:

[Smeefers]

No way the pack moves up. I still think they're droppin back to the 2nd round.

[George Cumby]

Joe, thanks for posting those write-ups

[Joemailman]

Can Bengals resist Janoris Jenkins?

[pbmax]

I think a good one will fall. I'm not moving up

Jets fans thought it was going to be Ingram. One pick closer.

[Cheesehead Craig]

Holy shit. On the NFLN they had an ad for a farmers only web dating service.

[Deputy Nutz]

This draft is going really fast, any way they can sneak another round in their tonight?


I think it was stupid to only go one round on opening night. It is like wham bam thank you mam, and then nobody cares.

When the Seahawks selected Bruce Irvin, I squirted Pepsi Max out of my nose. That hurt.

[pbmax]

Not a chance. They still don't know he likes to smoke.

[Joemailman]

Didn't think Ingram would still be around at this point.

[pbmax]

Sheep joke?

Maybe There is a reason he is still there.

hahahahahaha!

[pbmax]

Adam Schefter ‏ @AdamSchefter

Major upset if Bengals don't take Alabama CB Dre Kirkpatrick at No. 17.

[Rastak]

And they did.....

[Cheesehead Craig]

Good pick for the Bengals

[gbgary]

bengal's pick didn't look happy. lol

[Joemailman]

http://www.nfl.com/draft/2012/profiles/dre-kirkpatrick?id=2533060

OVERVIEW
Kirkpatrick is an early-entry junior who started for three years in Alabama. He is a very lengthy corner. Kirkpatrick could also be moved and developed at safety, where some teams might see his length and ability to play in zone more transferable, and he wouldn't be a tackling liability despite his thin frame.
ANALYSIS
STRENGTHS Athletes like Kirkpatrick are able to defy the perception that taller skill players don't have the footwork and agility that shorter players do. Kirkpatrick will thrive initially within a zone scheme, where he can use his burst and length to cover ground and remain active. He is so talented athletically that he could likely be tested early on an island in man coverage and excel, and he possesses the confidence and field presence necessary to take on such a task.
WEAKNESSES Kirkpatrick has issues that surround all aspects of his prospects and overall value as he enters the draft. He is very thin and some will question his ability to play physically at the next level. Although he has always been advertised as a cornerback, his size and athletic ability could encourage a transition to safety. It remains to be seen if Kirkpatrick can add weight to compete at that position after three years at Alabama where his physical development was minimal.

[imscott72]

Ingram still there..Wouldn't we crap of Ted traded up?

[red]

For some reason I squirted cum out of my dick, it didn't hurt so much

HAHAHAHAHAHAAH

[Deputy Nutz]

I booed the Bangirls pick, someone around there actually has an idea how to run a franchise

[Cheesehead Craig]

Ingram still there..Wouldn't we crap of Ted traded up?
I've been preaching to do just that for weeks.

The trade up, not the pants crapping. I'll leave that to the old fogies like pbmax.

[pittstang5]

Chargers better not take mcclelin

[gbgary]

the crew in the back get the jerseys printed up fast. lots of burned fingers i bet.

[Rastak]

HAHAHAHAHAHAAH


I hope this doesn't somehow relate to your earlier Schefter comment.......



edit: meant deputy

[Deputy Nutz]

HAHAHAHAHAHAAH

stop laughing at my penis

[pbmax]

Programming note, CBSsports.com draft tracker is not killing Firefox every five minutes like ESPN and NFLN.

[Smeefers]

I'd definately crap if he moved up 10 spots.

[pbmax]

I booed the Bangirls pick, someone around there actually has an idea how to run a franchise

KYPack isn't with us tonight, maybe he won a radio contest to help Mike Brown draft.

[Cheesehead Craig]

Watch out Deion, your wife is behind you!

Who dealt THAT one?!

Come on SD, take the tackle

[Rastak]

Bears are up soon!

[Cheesehead Craig]

Dammit, Ingram.

[Rastak]

Ingram is the pick



beaten to the punch

[red]

i'm fine with that

[denverYooper]

Well shoot. There goes that fantasy.

[Deputy Nutz]

Ingram is a tweener for a 3-4 defense

[Smeefers]

KYPack isn't with us tonight, maybe he won a radio contest to help Mike Brown draft.

I wonder what it was kike walking into the war room. "okay, first, get rid of the cocaine and the dart board. Someone please get a computer newer than this commadore 64 in here.. Thats not even... You know what, we can just go off what i looked up on u tube."

[Joemailman]

http://www.nfl.com/draft/2012/profiles/melvin-ingram?id=2532870

OVERVIEW
Ingram is one of the most athletically gifted prospects in this year's class. He came to South Carolina as an inside linebacker and has since played in various positions across the front seven. Ingram's motor, athleticism and technique allow him to bring dynamic playmaking ability to an NFL defense, whether he lines up at defensive tackle or defensive end. Some believe he could be moved to outside linebacker in a 3-4 scheme to rush the passer and overpower offensive tackles. There is a chance he continues rising up boards and is selected in the first round of the draft.
ANALYSIS
STRENGTHS Ingram has an uncommon blend of speed and overall athleticism for a big man. Parlayed with a strong motor and instincts that have allowed him to line up in numerous positions across the field, Ingram almost always finds himself near the ball. He is quick off the snap and technically refined working the line of scrimmage, the type of lineman who can continuously defeat blocks to play the run or pass and make plays.
WEAKNESSES The weaknesses in Ingram's play as a defensive tackle are all about physical limitations, such as height, weight and arm length. His short arms and size make it tough for him to eliminate double teams playing inside, and there are uncertainties about his effectiveness there at the next level. He'll also have to prove he has the first step to play defensive end and the movement skills to be moved to linebacker.

[Deputy Nutz]

Who dealt THAT one?!

What a bunch of limp penises

[Guiness]

Am I nuts (common noun version) or is there no dying need for defense except Buffalo at 10 and Chargers at 18?

Cardinals, Carolina, KC, Seattle all need O

Let's review that prediction.
Kuechly to Carolina
Gilmore to Buffalo
Poe to Kansas
Cox to Philly
Brockers to St-L
Irving to Seattle
and
Coples to the Jets!!

Right after you said that, 7 of 8 picks went D!

I'm not going to the track with you, buddy!

[gbgary]

Bears take Shea McClellin.

per Adam Schefter

[Joemailman]

How soon before someone takes a player we were hoping would be available to the Packers?

[Deputy Nutz]

Donte' Hightower could be a very flexible selection, good pass rusher, good in the middle, could move outside.

[pbmax]

How soon before someone takes a player we were hoping would be available to the Packers?

Right now. A second ago.

[mmmdk]

Ingram would've been great in Green'n'Gold but too good to slip all the way to #28. I like Alabamas Dont’a Hightower for Packers; might be best player available and hence not a need pick.

[Rastak]

Surprise there.

[woodbuck27]

I think a good one will fall. I'm not moving up

I was pleased to see that Seattle was in love with Bruce Irvin. It's holding your breath time now B.

I tell everyone the draft is not my thing.

[Cheesehead Craig]

There goes McClellin

[Smeefers]

You guys better get used to the idea of us picking an OT

[red]

what about of cock smokers

he'll be wasted with the bears

[pbmax]

He will be the new Hunter Hillenmeyer.

Schefter has KYPack trading the Bengals 21st pick

[Brando19]

Pack will take Upshaw.

[woodbuck27]

I was pleased to see that Seattle was in love with Bruce Irvin. It's holding your breath time now B.


The BIG BAD BEARS...get your guy B.

Sorry man.

Shea McClellin is a BEAR.

[Joemailman]

http://www.nfl.com/draft/2012/profiles/shea-mcclellin?id=2532907

OVERVIEW
McClellin has started three consecutive years at defensive end for Boise State. He is an undersized DE who 3-4 teams will value at the OLB position. At just under 260 pounds, he can struggle at times against bigger linemen, but he has fifth-round value.
ANALYSIS
STRENGTHS McClellin is a strong player inside for the Broncos who uses good leverage to get under heavier offensive linemen and jolt them back in their stance. He is aggressive, stout, and can hold off linemen and smother tight ends at the point of attack. He has no problem tackling and is a good pass rusher.
WEAKNESSES McClellin will have a tough time convincing teams, even though he has been productive, to take a shot on him early in the draft because of his size. He has displayed enough athletic ability for teams to consider him at outside backer, but he could stand to lose weight as he enters the next level.

[pittstang5]

Son of a hitch. Fn bears

[Deputy Nutz]

New England is moving on up

[George Cumby]

bummer, i just got sold on him

[red]

i don't like this trading shit, we're gonna lose our guys

[Cheesehead Craig]

The run on defense is astounding here.

[pbmax]

Actually, at 260, does McClellin play DE for the Bears?

[denverYooper]

i don't like this trading shit, we're gonna lose our guys

Horsefeathers. The draft has been going about as well as could be expected for GB so far.

[pittstang5]

Here's hoping for Derek wolfe

[Joemailman]

You guys better get used to the idea of us picking an OT

Last OT from Iowa we took is pretty good.

[pbmax]

Adam Schefter ‏ @AdamSchefter

New England traded to 21. Will pick Chandler Jones.

[gbgary]

The run on defense is astounding here.

yup...we're gonna be left out.

[Deputy Nutz]

There will plenty of receivers and fullbacks for the Packers to pick at 28

[Scott Campbell]

What a bunch of limp penises


Cellphone worthy?

[Brando19]

I hope we take the newest exciting position in football....a punt protector.

[jklowan]

I am thinking we trade back

[Bretsky]

Those Lousy muthrfuckinsackofshithededBears !!!!!!!! PUCK !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[woodbuck27]

DE Whitney Mercelus or Devon Still (NO!) DE Nick Perry >>>>Packers with some LUCK.

[jklowan]

Mercelus goes to ne here

[KYPack]

KYPack isn't with us tonight, maybe he won a radio contest to help Mike Brown draft.

Ahmm right here, honey baby.

I guess Chicago bought the Clay Matthews deal. I love when teams draft a guy with 'rising value.'

[Rastak]

Adios Wright.....

[pbmax]

Don't like one round Thursdays, but I am not going to argue about 10 minutes between picks. 2 hours, 20 picks.

[Rastak]

KYPack isn't with us tonight, maybe he won a radio contest to help Mike Brown draft.

Ahmm right here, honey baby.

Howdy KY.

[red]

kendall wright, the first 3 people he hugs are 3 females that all tower over him

[Cheesehead Craig]

Good, no defense taken there.

[mmmdk]

I am thinking we trade back

Very plausible; might catch S Harrison Smith from ND early in 2nd round.

[Smeefers]

Wow. Tiny dude for a 1st round wr.

[Brandon494]

Actually, at 260, does McClellin play DE for the Bears?

Thats what I'm thinking, Im surprised a 4-3 team drafted him.

[pbmax]

KYPack isn't with us tonight, maybe he won a radio contest to help Mike Brown draft.

Ahmm right here, honey baby.

Thought you were helping Mr. Brown. His pick made a lot of sense. And it wasn't the pot smoker.

[Joemailman]

http://www.nfl.com/draft/2012/profiles/kendall-wright?id=2532977

OVERVIEW
Wright had been a solid complimentary player in Baylor's high-octane offense who has turned into much more in his senior year. As Robert Griffin III's go-to option at receiver, Wright working himself wide open for a long touchdown seemed to be a common sight for Big 12 opponents this season. Wright is undersized but has the speed to take the top off of NFL defenses. His athletic ability is his greatest strength, and he uses strong, polished technique to make up for his size deficiencies on the field. He has the wiggle and subsequent burst to make a move on a defender and get upfield. His ball skills are on par with his overall skills as a wideout, and he uses his footwork to run strong routes. He will have to improve his blocking and overall strength at the next level, but Wright has the potential to be a first-day pick and make an instant impact.
ANALYSIS
STRENGTHS Wright knows how to use his athletic ability to his advantage and is a dynamic player. Despite his size, he is an effective and even lethal threat at the line of scrimmage, as he can get a quick step on a corner and be open from the get-off. His quickness off the line of scrimmage makes up for his size. He is capable of being a serious deep threat yet also has the quickness and ball skills to be effective in the short-to-intermediate game. As a route runner, Wright has shown an understanding of how to lean on a defender to gain separation and stem his routes to set up his quick step to separate. Wright understands the strong suits of his game and plays to them. With the ball in his hands, he can create plays for himself and use vision and body control to weave upfield and bounce off would-be tacklers. Most importantly, he has the uncanny ability to separate from defenders and get open across the field, a skill that's highly desired at the next level.
WEAKNESSES Wright hasn't shown the ability to block or be a factor in the run game while at Baylor. If the ball is not coming his way, he can be seen loafing. He's the type of receiver who needs to be involved in the game to be a factor at all. Showing the ability to run NFL routes will boost his stock.

[woodbuck27]

Those Lousy muthrfuckinsackofshithededBears !!!!!!!! PUCK !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

That move by the BEARS surprized me.

Do you like Nick Perry?

[pittstang5]

Where is McClelin going to play for the Bears? DE? OLB? God, I hate them. They picked him just for spite so TT couldn't have him. Bastards!

[Deputy Nutz]

Well the Packers just lost out on Wright. You know Rodgers was calling TT, yelling at him to draft another WR.

[Bossman641]

Cellphone worthy?

Fuck Shea! hahah I can finally say it now without getting bashed. :)

Where is McClelin going to play for the Bears? DE? OLB? God, I hate them. They picked him just for spite so TT couldn't have him. Bastards!

Its the Bears. Part of their lease with the City of Chicago is to always have a good defense to support the Monsters of the Midway marketing campaign.

[Joemailman]

Well the Packers just lost out on Wright. You know Rodgers was calling TT, yelling at him to draft another WR.

Nah. Rodgers is too busy screwing Deanna.

[Rastak]

Jones to Pats

[pbmax]

If the Browns take Weeden, its proof the water there is still contaminated.

[Brando19]

Upshaw or Perry will be a Packer.

[red]

this is bullshit, dumb as hell

we're 4 picks behind

less analysis, more announcing of picks

we've been analysing this shit for months

[Bretsky]

That move by the BEARS surprized me.

Do you like Nick Perry?

I'd be content with Perry...no way would I move up for him though

[Rastak]

Weeden to Browns

[Joemailman]

http://www.nfl.com/draft/2012/profiles/chandler-jones?id=2533538

OVERVIEW
Jones is an underclassman defensive end who has displayed good size and speed throughout his career at Syracuse. He suffered a knee injury that severely limited him in 2011 and will need to prove he's fully recovered throughout the pre-draft process to warrant the draft consideration that he's shown he's worthy of on the field. He should be selected somewhere in the third round. Though undersized, he is best served playing the end position in a 4-3 scheme.
ANALYSIS
STRENGTHS Jones is undersized but has the tools to stay on the line at the next level and work mostly out of a 5-technique position, as he excels at working in short areas and being a scrappy, active player in the box. He has a good wingspan and is a long strider, which gives him great range to run down outside runs. He uses his arms well to keep linemen at bay, and he displays good technique to defeat blocks through hand fighting. He is an effective tackler with a lot of range. Although Chandler tends to get upright immediately at the point of attack, he is a good pass rusher who plays to his strengths.
WEAKNESSES Jones is undersized and could have issues against stronger offensive tackles. He is a long strider who takes too many steps to get to full speed and looks lost at times when diagnosing run plays. He is an effective player when moving decisively, but he can be out of place at times. Once in the backfield, he has trouble readjusting his body to get a clear burst toward the quarterback.

[red]

AWESOME

[Deputy Nutz]

WEEDEN!!!

[Cheesehead Craig]

Enjoy your 5 yr career with Wheedon, Browns fans.

[King Friday]

Browns get a 28 year old QB...he might learn the pro game before he starts collecting Soc Sec.

[red]

Upshaw or Perry will be a Packer.

love it. the FIB from illinois is still there too right?

[Deputy Nutz]

That guy is old as dirt

[Brando19]

If the Browns take Weeden, its proof the water there is still contaminated.

I think it's a great pick...just because he's older doesn't mean he's not better than McCoy. He'll be their starter.

[pbmax]

Lions taking Reiff

[Cheesehead Craig]

I really hope that dog takes a shit on the stage

[Smeefers]

Fuck Shea! hahah I can finally say it now without getting bashed. :)

Repped

[red]

Browns get a 28 year old QB...he might learn the pro game before he starts collecting Soc Sec.

yeah i just don't get that. he'll be on the wrong side of 30 by the time he gets it all together, if he even does

DeCastro to Pitt at 24. We are in a time warp

Weeden joined the Cowboys after a stint playing minor league baseball. Weeden has been the signal-caller for one of the country's most efficient and explosive offenses. He is a poised, effective thrower who has great pocket presence and makes quick decisions with the ball to keep the chains moving. He rarely throws interceptions despite the high number of attempts in his scheme. He could be picked as high as the second round.
ANALYSIS
STRENGTHS Weeden has an NFL-quality frame that allows him to look over the offensive line and deliver his throws without a hitch. His quick release is his strongest asset, as he consistently fires the ball with a compact throwing motion and strong delivery. The ball zips off his arm, and he has the ability to fit it in any tight space. He is "all of the above" in terms of being a mature, poised leader. He is an accurate passer on throws short and long, and he has that gunslinger mentality to go for the deep ball when it's an option. He understands route progressions and throwing the ball to allow his receiver to make a play.
WEAKNESSES Despite his baseball background, Weeden is only an average athlete and is very limited when scrambling. He has a tough time getting outside the pocket, and his accuracy and touch decrease immensely when he scrambles. He seems to grasp route concepts and looks for his second option, but he will hold the ball for extended periods of times and could be a product of his quick-read offensive scheme.

I think it's a great pick...just because he's older doesn't mean he's not better than McCoy. He'll be their starter.

Could be. But still too many other holes on O.

[Brando19]

I really hope that dog takes a shit on the stage

hahahaha...that's funny.

[Bretsky]

I'd love Upshaw or Merciles

ok with Perry

I'd puke with an OL

What if TT took the 2nd best RB ??

[HarveyWallbangers]

Anybody think Weedon is this year's Andy Dalton?


Could be....alot of people like him. And he doesn't have red hair that I know of......

He looks like a bit of a ginger to me.

Weeden getting picked is great for GB; one more drops

I'd be happier with LaMichael James or David Wilson than I would with OL....BORING.

Lions taking Reilly Reiff. Steelers taking David DeCastro. per schefter.

[HarveyWallbangers]

I'm going to say that I want Perry--which will ensure that we won't get him.

I want Perry.

fuck, new england just traded up to get in front of us

[woodbuck27]

Ohh Ohh.... Riley Reiff is falling AND their are three (3) more OLman sitting above OUR #28 with 'only five picks before we're on the clock..

NO 'D' for the Packers IN ROUND One?

OK The LIONs go OT Reily Reiff and the new Madden Cover Boy made the pick and he was HAPPY !

[Rastak]

He looks like a bit of a ginger to me.

HAH!

Yea, I guess he is.....

[Joemailman]

http://www.nfl.com/draft/2012/profiles/riley-reiff?id=2533042

OVERVIEW
Reiff is an impressive tackle prospect. He started every game in his career and was very durable considering how heavily Iowa relied on its run game. He is a smart player who should be able to adapt to NFL speed and playbooks with ease. Given that he plays at a position with such value, it's unlikely that Reiff will last past the first round.
ANALYSIS
STRENGTHS Reiff is a big body who rolls his hips into his man to tap into his power and explosion. In pass protection he keeps his weight even to have a good anchor and stall bull rushers. Riley has incredible body control and is a true technician working within the box. He uses his hands well, and has the flexibility to play on both sides of the line given his fluid footwork.
WEAKNESSES Reiff is not the strongest prospect at the position, as he is more of a catch blocker in pass protection and won't have the ability to decleat any ends in the NFL. If any type of foe will give him issues at the next level, it could be heavy 3-4 defensive ends who could blow him back.

[Smeefers]

Lavonte david?

[Joemailman]

http://www.nfl.com/draft/2012/profiles/david-decastro?id=2533043

OVERVIEW
DeCastro is an extremely polished guard out of Stanford who started for three consecutive years. While he is considered an early entry junior, he spent four years at Stanford and has already graduated. He is a disciplined and NFL-ready player who likely will warrant a starting spot immediately through his play. He could be one of the highest draft picks at the guard position in recent years, and he could easily go in the top 10.
ANALYSIS
STRENGTHS DeCastro is a technician on the field and is beautiful to watch for those who respect offensive line play. He is very quick off the ball to get into his block. DeCastro is able to shuffle nicely to avoid trash when pulling or down blocking. Once engaged, he is very strong to his ground. He demonstrates a good snap upon contact with defenders and is usually the one providing the drive-back pressure on his man. Once locked on his man, he can drive and maneuver them at will using his very strong upper body. DeCastro is extremely controlled in his movements, and he has body control and overall balance that is rare for a man his size. DeCastro is very athletic on the move and can key in and adjust well on his moving target. It's nearly impossible to find many weak points in DeCastro's play throughout college, and he could easily be the best lineman on his team as a rookie.
WEAKNESSES DeCastro is inconsistent when finishing run blocks downfield. There were times in 2011 when he would fall off his blocks at times -- although never an effort issue, there are some slight hitches in his bending and footwork downfield that cause him to fall off slightly. He is not a violent puncher with his hands, but he doesn't necessarily need to acquire that trait because he is such a technician.

[Brando19]

How are there 32 picks with the saints pick taken away?

[Deputy Nutz]

Could play on the outside, good pass rusher.

[woodbuck27]

New England gets Dont'a Hightower trading up to #25,

and ......at #26 Houston shouldn't hurt us. The TEXANS may go WR Stephen Hill.

[Joemailman]

http://www.nfl.com/draft/2012/profiles/donta-hightower?id=2533057

OVERVIEW
Alabama has developed some impressive inside linebackers in the past couple years, and Hightower is a shining example of the type of NFL-ready players in the stable that allows the Crimson Tide to be so successful at the collegiate level. Hightower has looked the part of a starting middle linebacker in the NFL for two years. If he can keep his weight steady and not lose any speed, Hightower can do many of the same things that Oakland's Rolando McClain or New England's Brandon Spikes did working as the physical inside presence of a defense. Hightower could be a better fit within a 3-4 scheme, as he has the size to shed big offensive linemen who would work free to block him in the run game.
ANALYSIS
STRENGTHS Hightower is lengthy and imposing in the middle of a defense. He has long arms that he uses effectively to fight off blockers, dip and push to avoid trash at his feet, and keep balls close to him. He is not the most athletic player in space, but he uses his arms to tie up receivers within his zone and fight tight ends off the ball. He is technically sound, although his style of play looks effortless. There are not many wasted motions in his movements, and he takes good angles to the ball when working both sides of the field. Although Hightower doesn't quite possess the speed to be a true sideline-to-sideline inside linebacker or the sole tackler in the middle of a 3-4 defense, he uses his instincts well and remains in position.
WEAKNESSES Hightower has a big frame and can labor at times to move in extended spaces on the field. He excels within the box but likely won't run down many scatbacks at the next level. He is good to defend the pass in zone but struggles to maintain coverage in man after trying to disrupt at the line. Hightower struggles to flip his hips in man looks, and there are times when he has to change direction unexpectedly. He isn't heavy-footed, but he pursues the ball with a lot of momentum and can overshoot plays at times.

Post a pic of the whore whore, pls.

[Deputy Nutz]

Texans are going pass rusher to replace Mario Williams

[Fosco33]

Perry, Upshaw, Devon Still, Worthy, Mercilus, Harrison Smith...

[Brando19]

Could play on the outside, good pass rusher.

damn....could have used him.

[red]

texans and bengals both don't need d-help

lets hope no one else moves up

not that TT would ever draft the guy i want anyways

[woodbuck27]

How are there 32 picks with the saints pick taken away?

They made a previous deal with 'the Pats' for their pick and I believe it was #27.

Texans are going to pick:

Damn there goes a one year wonder DE Whitney Mercilus and that teams 'D' was so solid. That pick surprizes me.No sweat. We get a good one.

Please TT >>> 'D'.

[mmmdk]

New England got one of the best defensive players in the draft

I agree!

Upshaw is overrated.

[pbmax]

How are there 32 picks with the saints pick taken away?

They traded their 1st rounder to NE.

[Brando19]

They made a previous deal with 'the Pats' for their pick and i believe it was #27.

Gotcha..thanks.

[red]

WE GET UPSHAWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWW

[digitaldean]

So much for Mercilus going to us. Gone to Houston.

[Cheesehead Craig]

Looks like it's Upshaw for us

[Bretsky]

fuckers; LAST year they took JJ Watt and Brooks Reed.......this yr Merciles

[KYPack]

Cincy will go WR or OL, IMHO

[red]

maybe we can trade a later pick to the texans of brooks reed

[Bretsky]

Upshaw OR Trade Down

[pbmax]

Kareem Copeland ‏ @kareemcopeland

This. MT @bobwojnowski Now that #Lions have OT Riley Reiff, here are my suggestions for their next six picks: CB, CB, CB, CB, CB, CB.

[pbmax]

Cincy will go WR or OL, IMHO

Time traveling Schefter said OL

[Bretsky]

we sit here all night waiting......and TT trades out of round one

[Deputy Nutz]

Upshaw or Perry.

[Bretsky]

fyi....my last post was a joke

[pbmax]

Remember to go to commercial when the Pack picks ESPN

[pittstang5]

Ok, someone sell me on Upshaw...I don't like him.

[Brando19]

fyi....my last post was a joke

YOU SCARED THE SHIT OUT OF ME! lol

[Joemailman]

http://www.nfl.com/draft/2012/profiles/whitney-mercilus?id=2533049

OVERVIEW
Mercilus is an early entry junior who started only one year at Illinois. He played the weakside end at Illinois and would be best served there in a 4-3 defense in the NFL. He has third-round value but could ascend.
ANALYSIS
STRENGTHS Mercilus is a fast, athletic defensive end who is quick off the snap and has a good burst to close on the quarterback. He is a situational rusher who excels against the run and brings the versatility to run to the flats at his size. Whitney is able to quickly get off the snap and engage into his man's frame. He excels in pursuit down the line of scrimmage and is a high motor player. He can win at the next level with his speed rush.
WEAKNESSES His feet are slowed by his instincts as he oftentimes gets caught looking into the backfield and hesitates when diagnosing the run. He can get occupied by bigger, stronger blockers and tends to shut it down completely in these looks. He is more quick than explosive. He is a drag-down tackler who relies on his weight and is inconsistent in his wrap-up form.

[Bretsky]

why is Upshaw falling ????

Isn't he a no brainer here ???

[Brando19]

Ok, someone sell me on Upshaw...I don't like him.

Just listen to Gruden when Upshaw is selected...he blows all the players on air.

[Scott Campbell]

The Bengals should go RB.

Isn't he a no brainer here ???

from everything i saw before the draft he was one of the very elite players in the draft

[pbmax]

Bob McGinn ‏ @BobMcGinn

It wouldn't surprise me in the least if the #Packers traded back, perhaps out of first round. Perry, bunch of DEs and O-linemen left.

[Brando19]

Could Konz go to the Pack?

[red]

here we go

[Bretsky]

CONGRATS TO THE BADGE !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[pbmax]

Badgers Zeitler goes before Konz to Bengals

[digitaldean]

Cincy picks Badger Kevin Zeitler!!! We are now on the clock!!!

[Smeefers]

On wisconsin!

[King Friday]

I'm not a huge fan of Upshaw...he doesn't seem quick enough to be an impact pass rusher at the next level. I think he would make a great OLB in a 4-3. We take him to screw the Bears? LOL

[Bretsky]

I vote

1. Upshaw
2. Trade Down
3. Perry
4. Listen to packers pick and scream profanities

[Joemailman]

http://www.nfl.com/draft/2012/profiles/kevin-zeitler?id=2532980

OVERVIEW
Zeitler has been a regular starter when healthy over the past three years on extremely productive offensive lines at Wisconsin. All of his linemates have been considered professional run blockers with the size to match, and he is no different. Zeitler is well coached and technical in his pass set. He has second- or third-round value due because of his experience playing on a productive line and being polished enough to play early.
ANALYSIS
STRENGTHS Zeitler displays very quick movement off the line and gets into his blocks quickly. He can blow a defender back and drive his legs to sustain blocks throughout run plays. He stands out in his work at the second level, where he has the ability to bend his knees and engage linebackers. He can quickly pull from his spot off the line.
WEAKNESSES Zeitler is a big man with heavy legs who at times labors to get moving when he needs to get out of his set and pull. His body control can be inconsistent at times, as he occasionally will whiff on linebackers. He is slower than desirable and is better off working in close proximity to his man to control the block.

[mmmdk]

Ok, someone sell me on Upshaw...I don't like him.

Sorry, I can't! What is he? A slowish DE or an OLB that can't cover...yeah Clay does that too!

[Deputy Nutz]

Good for the Waukesha WI prospect!!!
