Draft Discussion - No Spoilers/Experts/Twitter

Jeez, Kiper & McShay didn't like the Ego Ferguson pick, Kiper called it a 'major reach' and both had him in the 4th round.

i was expecting a quip about how hes full of himself. looks like im the only one dragging the forum down tonight

Niklas gone to the Cardinals. Doubt it'll be TE for the Packers now. Ealy or Nix I think.

love niklas i think hes great value at this stage

What are your thoughts so far lads?

The only picks I really don't like so far are - Giants (I prefer Martin to Richburg, but yeah it's still a solid pick that addresses a need), Ravens (Jernigan's a bit undersized for us, there's possible drug issues and our main needs are still not addressed) and Bears (there were better players at the position than Ferguson for me).

I know nothing about Paul Richardson (Seahawks) and would have reservations about Lawrence's off the field stuff but talent-wise he's fine (Cowboys).

Looks to be a very good second round for teams so far though. The value here is ridiculous.

A little underwhelmed by the Rams pick. Obviously have holes in the secondary and this is a very thin draft at safety but moving up for him seems excessive.

There are still a lot of wide outs left so hopefully we'll still pick up a decent one. Desperately need some size at WR, I quite like Quick but Schotty doesn't seem to, he's hasn't been involved as much as he could be.

did eisen just say niklas and jake matthews were cousins?? jesus that is some talented family

I think most of the picks have been very good. Like another receiver for Rodgers. The picks you've mentioned there are the ones I'd question, especially the Bears.

Like the player, do not like the pick for the Packers... REALLY should ave taken Nix for a number of reasons.

They're flying through these picks tonight. 22 picks done in 1 hour 45 minutes.

Still have to wait for what feels like 2 more years, for the Pats 2nd round pick.:(

+ another 3rd round compensatory pick which can't be traded of course.

Do you like the Rams pick Paully? Thought it was a bit of a reach but the depth in that position has hurt them.

Titans possibly valuing him higher than Hyde due to his superior receiving ability? Interesting pick.

Ha, thats what you get for supporting a good team

Barney92

Back to back running backs. Hill and Sankey go before Hyde. Pretty surprised with that.

And then when Bill tends to trade down rather than up, it makes the whole draft wait a pain in the hole.

Barney92

Manning to break the record again this year? Did they really need another receiver?

eagle eye

Come on, lets get to the Patriots pick so I can go to bed. Two hours for a second round is just too much. I was hoping it be halfway through the third by now.

I do like him but I have him as a late 2nd/early 3rd.

Quite a versatile player so the Rams might be valuing the safety/cornerback versatility that he provides. Big hitter and good ball skills. If they can use him in such a way that he won't be up against tall receivers that can exploit his (lack of) height all the time, then I think he'll do well. Bit of a reach for me too but the position needed to be addressed.

Paully D

Ah for **** sake, Manning gets Lattimer.

I don't get it, why trade, get a pick then use that to move up to one spot behind where you just left? What yo at niners?
