THE draft thread (2013 version)

[wist43]

The Lions are apparently interested in Chance Warmack, a guard with the #5 pick! Go Loins!

Warmack is a 'can't miss'... outstanding player.

[smuggler]

Yeah, I will be pissed if the Lions take Warmack. I want them to take someone that might bust. Heh.

[red]

i'm starting to see more and more mocks having us taking menelik watson, and the more i look into him, the more i like the idea

i can step right in and be either your LT of the future, or if sherrod gets healthy, he can be your new LG of the future

big strong smart athletic guy

[smuggler]

I have a sneaking suspicion that we will be trading down into the 35-40 range, but I'm not sure if I like the idea.

Agree. Lots of value still there and pick up another pick or two.

Unlike the past two years, the 2013 draft sets up better for teams picking late.

So says John Elway, whose Broncos pick 28th overall.

"The draft this year is not top-heavy," Denver's executive vice president of football operations told the Denver Post. "So we feel like we can get as good a player at No. 28 as we could at 10.

“It's not like last year with (Andrew) Luck and RG3 (Robert Griffin III)," Elway said. "The year before with Von (Miller) and (Marcell) Dareus and A.J. Green and Patrick Peterson -- loaded top end. This is probably a deeper draft, but not nearly as many top impact guys."

All eight CBSSports.com draft experts expect Denver to take a defensive lineman in the first round, either Ohio State DT Johnathan Hankins, Alabama DT Jesse Williams or UCLA DE Datone Jones.

The Broncos lost defensive end Elvis Dumervil to the Ravens in strange fashion, but still could sign Dwight Freeney to replace him.

Denver also will be looking at cornerbacks and running backs early in the draft.

My hope is that the Packers snag one of the aforementioned Defensive linemen.

[Freak Out]

I saw a mock with the Packers taking the TE from Notre Dame in the 1st. Being unable to stomach watching a Golden Domer game of any kind I have no clue about this guy. Could he come in and start? He sounds like he could become a game changer but would you grab him in the 1st? I am also really intrigued about Olgetree...got some problems to work through but it's hard to ignore that kind of talent if it's there at 26.

[gbgary]

i'm hoping for a dl or ol stud. either will make that side of the ball much better.

[HarveyWallbangers]

Please, no Eddie Lacey. I'm with Kiper. Unless it's an obvious game changer (Barry Sanders, Adrian Peterson), I don't want an RB in round one. Lacey looks lumbering to me. The way he runs reminds me of Cedric Benson.

[HarveyWallbangers]

Last year, somebod posted the measurables that TT usually goes with at each position. I'd like to see those stats again, and see who in the draft fits the bill.

[rbaloha1]

Agree -- no Lacy since the both lines need fixing.

Reports that Jets/Bucs trade going through if Revis passes physical.

The Jets will receive multiple draft picks, including the 13th overall choice, from the Buccaneers if Revis passes his physical. The Jets already own the ninth pick, setting themselves up to add two potential impact players.

Two Jets picks oughta push talent down to us.

That would be like:



That's a balloon .... that's right.
