    Crazy-Ass First Round Moves

    There are a few I can think of:

    1. Poor John Schneider in Seattle. He's apparently not running the show. Bruce Irvin in the middle of the first round? I heard last night on Fox that Penis Carroll recruited Irvin as a high schooler and thus had an interest in him. Wow. Okay. What a dumb, dumb move - that guy could've been had in the beginning of the second round, at least. Penis Carroll = Idiot.

    2. Mike Holmgren was a very, very good coach, a very poor GM and a piss-poor team president. He slobbered all over himself to get Richardson - what, three picks to move up one spot? - and then later picked a college QB who's older than Aaron Rodgers is right now. WTF, Mike?

    3. St. Louis did not do as poorly as the pundit seem to think. They've got three second round picks now and a good DT to show for their work. Drafting Michael Floyd was not going to convert them into a winner.

    4. The Bears still can't draft. The just used their first round pick on a 260 lb defensive end. KGB was about that when he played - but that was several years ago. Players are bigger now. And KGB was, I think, quicker than this kid.

    5. I hate the NFL site. I'd like to know what the teams that traded up gave up to move up, but that site doesn't have any clear link or info on this. Did the Cowboys give up much to move up?

    6. The Jest. hah. What a lame-ass pick they made. Funny how the teams who dominated this morning's commentaries are the usual suspects (The Jest, The Cowgirls, The Eagles) - they always win the Super Bowl this time of year.

    Other crazy-ass moves you all see?

    RGIII better be Cam Newton X10 or the Redskins overpaid. Talk about putting all your eggs in one basket.

      woodbuck27: John Schneider may have ensured our pick. i loved his move into the second round for a one dimensional pass rusher. Thanks John.

      2. Mike Holmgren was a very, very good coach, a very poor GM and a piss-poor team president. He slobbered all over himself to get Richardson - what, three picks to move up one spot? - and then later picked a college QB who's older than Aaron Rodgers is right now. WTF, Mike?

      woodbuck27: That move by mike Holmgren redefines the word....What !! I'm so kind. (-:

      3. St. Louis did not do as poorly as the pundit seem to think. They've got three second round picks now and a good DT to show for their work. Drafting Michael Floyd was not going to convert them into a winner.

      woodbuck27: THE RAMS !! Having a good off season. Loading up !

      4. The Bears still can't draft. The just used their first round pick on a 260 lb defensive end. KGB was about that when he played - but that was several years ago. Players are bigger now. And KGB was, I think, quicker than this kid.

      woodbuck27: All they did was ' really piss of ' Bretsky!

      5. I hate the NFL site. I'd like to know what the teams that traded up gave up to move up, but that site doesn't have any clear link or info on this. Did the Cowboys give up much to move up?

      woodbuck27: I'm here with all the bells and whistles. It's football action central up here in the Great White North...they gave up a second (#45)

      6. The Jest. hah. What a lame-ass pick they made. Funny how the teams who dominated this morning's commentaries are the usual suspects (The Jest, The Cowgirls, The Eagles) - they always win the Super Bowl this time of year.

      woodbuck27: Watch the Jets turn on the 'O' picks in Rounds two through five.

      That was a wild evening for a draft. Exciting.

      GO TED Thompson !!

        Pete Carroll should be bronzed and installed as the main exhibit at the Peter Principle Museum and Felafel Stand.

        I think Holmgren got played. Never fall in love with a player, car or house when you are buying.

        The RGIII gamble is what you get when you have a short timer running the show. Dan Snyder is supposed to be a (tele) marketing genius, but if a marketing plan goes awry, you can start over in the next Quarter or Year. Doesn't work that way with football teams. Stephen Ross needs to get the same advice. Everyone said Sherman was not pushing Tannehill. But Stephen couldn't resist, not could he take the hint.

        Eliot Wolf nearly derailed his career with a Tweeted slam of the Vikings.

        I heard the Patriots jumped up the second time to get in front of the Ravens, who wanted Hightower to replace Lewis. It would seem a good move but Hoody has misplayed some hands lately in the draft despite the extra picks.

        Having only thought about McClellin at OL, I can't imagine him at DE, his "natural" position at Boise. But I think at 260 he can gain some weight and play end. One of the ends in Lovie's system is usually smaller and speedier.
        Bud Adams told me the franchise he admired the most was the Kansas City Chiefs. Then he asked for more hookers and blow.

            I was shocked that da BEARS selected Shea McClellin. I thought that the team that could go for him was NE Pat's... but BEARS..NO.

                Unclear, especially since the Vikings and Spielman had just committed highway robbery of the Browns. I think he was tweaking the Dolphins but then decided to label it a Vikings slam. He Tweeted shortly after the Tannehill pick. Its not the first time he has slammed someone trying to be funny on Twitter. He should abandon it toot suite.

                  I think he was trying to sabotage his career prospects.

                    Does anyone have a good list of the trade details?

                    As for the NFL site, they are so busy pumping their analysts and writers, I couldn't even find a decent list of the first round selections. The "tracker" showed a blank page, and everything else was a player p[er page with commentary.

                    I dislike the Packer website (or should I say "the Vic Ketcham website") almost as much as I dislike the NFL site

                      Four picks stand out to me in the first round:

                      Coples to the Jest: It's like they're courting disaster, but that's what they do over there. Coples in that locker room? You had better hope Tebow is a miracle worker.

                      Irvin to the Seahawks: It's pretty clear that between Carroll, Schneider, Paul Allen, and the cumulative marijuana consumption in the Pacific Northwest, they march to the beat of a different drummer over there. Still, I'm wondering at what point defensive players who are exclusively suited to passing situations will come to be referred to as 2-down players instead of 1-down players (and conversely when defensive players who are exclusively suited to playing the run will become 1-down instead of 2-down players). 60% of offensive plays in the NFL last year were passes, so it's actually less insane than drafting a guy who's just a run-stuffer.

                      Weeden to the Browns: This franchise is just sad. They blink and get bilked out of picks by the Vikings, and they totally blow the pick at #22. What did they get for Julio Jones? Phil Taylor, Greg Little, and Brandon Weeden? Ouch. I hate taking a WR that high, but Quintorris is easily better value there. As a general manager, Mike Holmgren is a great head coach.

                      Shea McClellin to the Bears: Someone has to explain this to me. I just don't get it. The Jest are risk takers, the Seahawks are weird, and the Browns are pathetic so all those picks make sense. This does not make sense to me. It's almost as if they took this guy specifically to deny him to the Packers, but if they were really interested in denying the Packers pass rush, they should have drafted Reiff. I cannot justify taking McClellin (who I like, honestly) over people like Reiff, DeCastro, Jones, Mercilus, all of whom were available.

                        Its a horrible year for draft tracking. ESPN and NFL kept crashing Firefox with the indiscriminate use of java and its memory leaking superpowers.

                        I used the one at CBSSports.com and it worked well. But updates were slow. They had the trade details in a link for each affected pick; in real time anyway.

                          Stupid bares. Those clowns need somebody to protect Jay Cutler. Instead their season will be toast when Jay gets blasted again this coming season.

                            Another stupid pick was KC and Poe. Poe is a combine warrior who disappeared in games in Conference USA. He'll be a real force in the NFL.
