Official 2012 Draft Day Thread (Day 1 At Least)

[Rastak]

Vikings are loading up for a great draft.

I hope so but we'll see....gotta make the right picks.


I almost hope they grab Claiborne....

[Scott Campbell]

I think the Bucs were probably aggressively trying to jump the Browns and they feel Richardson is a game breaker.

LeGarrette Blount will now punch someone from Boise State.

[Bretsky]

Thanks PB!

Haven't been here in forever.....


KFAN just reported that Schefter just reported the Browns and the Vikings switched spots, with MN getting 3 picks......no confirmation yet. Browns trying to ace out Bucs for Richardson I guess.

YO RASTAK

You need to keep your ass in here the next few days.........and after !!!

[Brando19]

Claiborne would be a good pick, but Kalil would help Peterson stay elite and add protection for their young QB.

[Rastak]

Hell, I bet they could move down and let the Rams grab Blackmon and still get Kahlil.

I'd rather they get Claiborne over Blackmon as a Packer fan. Blackmon has been touted the best since Megatron.

Nice to see your Logo back Rastak. WELCOME BACK Man. (-:

Oh, I don;t think he's close....smaller, slower.....great film though.

Some people actually think Floyd is better than Blackmon, and the Hill might develop into a better player.

The draft 'begins interesting' at Minny. Yes it is looking more now like you fellas go CB. How special is Morris Claiborne?

Here's a MOCK I just was looking at:

#1 Indianapolis Colts - Andrew Luck, QB, Stanford
#2 Washington Redskins - Robert Griffin III, QB, Baylor
#3 TRADE St Louis Rams - Trent Richardson, RB, Alabama (via Minnesota Vikings)
#4 Cleveland Browns - Justin Blackmon, WR, Oklahoma State
#5 Tampa Bay Buccaneers - Morris Claiborne, CB, LSU
#6 TRADE Minnesota Vikings - Matt Kalil, OT, USC (via St Louis Rams)
#7 TRADE New York Jets - Melvin Ingram, DE, South Carolina (via Jacksonville Jaguars)
#8 Miami Dolphins - Ryan Tannehill, QB, Texas A&M
#9 Carolina Panthers - Fletcher Cox, DT, Mississippi State
#10 TRADE Dallas Cowboys - Mark Barron, SS, Alabama (via Buffalo Bills)

Ohh I just saw your post above. Minny traded down to the BROWNS.

I'm not so sure about that. Guys with his measurables aren't usually drafted in the top 10. In fact, he'd be the shortest WR taken in the top 10 since Ted Ginn in 2007. Plus, he's not an elite athlete either. His vertical (35") and 40 time (high 4.4s on a fast track at Oklahoma State) were nothing spectacular by most accounts. To me, he's closer to Michael Crabtree than Calvin Johnson.

What up Harv?

Totally agree.

Thx, hope they get your ND safety in round 2.....


They = Vikes

[HarveyWallbangers]

What up Harv?

Totally agree.

Not much. Moved to Lakeville. When was the last time the Vikings drafted somebody decent in the 4th round or later? Matt Birk in 1998?

Just kidding.

I guess John Sullivan (although I'm not that high on him) and Brian Robinson were decent. If they are going to turn the franchise around, they need to hit on more of these middle and late round picks.

[ND72]

You have both of my TE's Ras, why not another golden domer....
