I wouldn't mind him, but I'm pretty sure he had a lot of drops and would take a little while to adjust to the NFL.
appoo: not interested in Sanu, Randle would be OK. I'm eyeing Brian Quick as well. With OT, I really hope we could take Massie.

They can snag someone like DeVier Posey in the 3rd to, if they went with a different position in the 2nd. Massie, if he's there, has to be taken.

LB is definitely a hole. But looking at Nix's draft history, I don't know that he's ever drafted a LB before the 3rd round (except for a 3-4 OLB in Merriman, but I compare that more to DE than LB in a 4-3).

I thought Shepp was a 2nd rounder, but just looked him up and he was a 3rd rounder. Vikes? They need help all over really.

Harrison Smith ?
Poor Vikings fans. Kid is nowhere near a first round talent.

I can't believe the number of DT's taken before Still ... do they play a different technique than him?
If winning was easy even losers would do it.

They're more athletically gifted.

Yes to Dontari Poe. Cox is a great penetrator, Brockers...is honestly a bit of a mystery to me. Never understood the hype, but whatever.

One big year. Didn't produce the last three games (OSU and Wisky being the most important games of the year since they had the biggest/best offensive lines). I said this back in January, he was going to fall when scouts looked at those games.

Tampa trades back in takes Doug Martin solid RB from Boise next back should be Lamar Miller from the U

Towards the end of the year, I thought Jordan Hill was better - and I believe Hill will be a higher round pick.

Except they have a starter at that position.

WOW, what the hell.
Two head scratchers in the first round are Irvin and Smith. WAY above where he was projected, and not because he was undervalued. I guess it keeps other teams from taking him, but he didn't strike me as a safety that a team would go out of their way to protect.

Good pick by the Lions. The more they can protect Stafford the better.

With Jeff Backus turning 347 years old this year its about time we start looking and Cherilus really hasnt lived up to what I hoped he would.
You think he's going to back up Backus and be groomed to play left?

For the life of me I could not understand why he wasn't rated higher coming into this draft, guess someone agreed. I've literally been confused about his rating for the past several months.

He's always been explosive, but against better opponents he's struggled. He's also not very strong. You can bump and run him IMO.

Bullshit. FWIW, Paterno said he's the best DT he ever coached.

I liked Jenkins, but first rounder is stretching a little.
If there's someone I don't want to disagree with, though, it's Jim Harbaugh. Guy knows football.

Harrison Smith was projected to go late first for the past month or so, that didn;t shock me. Bruce Irvin was a WTF though.
