Official 2012 Draft Day Thread (Day 1 At Least)

[Cheesehead Craig]

I was pretty high on Upshaw a couple of months ago, and then I watch some film on him and all I could think was that he was as stiff as a board. He didn't move all that well, and their was very little explosion from the guy. Funny how all of a sudden all the scouts are saying the same thing about him. Really it is not that hard to go to youtube and watch some of these films and get an idea about a player. When I watched the film before the combine I couldn't believe some of the talking heads had him going in the top half of the first round. I thought Ingram was a better player than Upshaw, but he simply got by on being a better athlete than the guys he was going against. Teams are going to have to work on finding him a position and then working on actual pass rushing moves, and technique.

I was thought the same of Upshaw, I thought he was overrated and really didn't want the Packers to pick him.

We should trade and grab another pass rusher. Go get Vinny Curry!

If Reyes falls down within striking distance I'd expect TT to go after him. There are plenty of good ones left though so perhaps its best to just sit and wait.

P.S......Dear TT..............DRAFT RUSSSSSELL WILSON

[Joemailman]

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!

Look at the bright side. The Curse Of Bretsky is now on the Bears 1st round pick.

Oh, forgot about it. Has Fritz ever said anything nice about Shea? If so, he is doomed.

I am a big fan of Jared Crick, he would be a nice fit in Green Bay. Packers will most likely have to move up, and I think it wouldn't cost the Packers a whole lot to move up 10 to 15 picks in the second round to land a quality defensive linemen

I thought Crick was more 3rd round material? I wouldn't mind Jerel Worthy..

We have a board disagreement about Crick. Nutz feels he has been unfairly discounted due to a troubled and injured last year. Lurker is concerned about his ability to stay on his feet. Thus, Nutz and Co. value him 1/2 round. Lurker et al. value him closer to the 3rd.

We might need Ziggy to break the tie. Or Harlan to commission a poll.

DE Jared Crick Grade 62 AND predicted to go late third - early fourth round Ranked at 133 Overall and position Rank at 15.

Now this draft site has him coming to some team alot sooner or ranked at 70 and as the 9th best DE.....

Predicted to go round 2-3 or one round earlier than the information I use.
