    Tell me about it. The draft is such a tease.


    Glad Tavon went in first round, excited for him.

    Fascinated to see how Honey Badger does..

    Oh and my goodness watching the first round with all those OLmen all I could think is "that guy is gonna be on MFP some day"

    Anyone see the interview with Tyrone Mathieu from LSU? Wow, he really should have focused on some public speaking classes.

    As a Steelers fan, I am pretty pleased with their draft selections.

    Rams fan. I was listening on the radio while the sports newscasters were going crazy over trayvon, so I need to find out more about him, but they seem really excited. so that's good. Hoping they do much better this year, but i"m still disappointed amendola and steven jackson. It will be interesting to see Amendola working with Brady. There is no replacing Jackson.

    My fiance is a WVU fan, so I've seen a LOT of Tavon. He's sensational. Really. He's like a one man highlight reel, and a pretty good kid.

    Pretty pumped about the Panthers 2 DTs. Really hope we can get some WR today!

    Also.. What's up with the 3D glasses with no lenses like Ansah was wearing Thursday?!?

    Niners got Lemonier yesterday. Happy for him! He's a great kid. Hope it's a good fit for him.

    Another Rams fan here. Awesome for Snead to move up to snag Tavon! Uber excited about that, and the fact we got his teammate WR partner Bailey, too! WooHoo! Just need to fill those safety holes (not really counting on TJ) and a big rhinocerus RB would be nice too.....

    I think Lattimore is still available a lot of fans want him....don't know for how much longer he'll be up for though. Probably won't make it to the Rams next pick. Thought they were gonna take him or another safety in their 4th rd pick....nope.

    Anyone miss the draft being on the weekend? It use to be kind of a tradition with friends to make a weekend out of it. Of course those type of weekends def wouldn't help with my weight loss :D!

    Saints fan here - love their draft so far. Sucks having another 2 STOLEN from them, but they have done a great job this draft.

    I think most fans would have rather seen Saints grab Jarvis Jones instead of Vaccaro with the first pick, but I am totally cool with it. I think OLBs Junior Gallete and Martez Wilson are going to surprise a lot of people next year, when Saints move to the 3-4. They are super athletic and should excel in that scheme so maybe the Saints OLB need isn't as crucial as people thought.

    Safety was a need, and Vaccaro is as safe a bet at the position as anyone in the past 2 drafts.

    Third round was great for Saints IMO - They grabbed a super athletic offensive lineman, that could actually end up as a starting LT in future. Great value for 3rd round. Then they traded back into the third to grab Jenkins - the massive lineman from Georgia. That was a huge move, because it potentially gives them a legit nose tackle for the 3-4. Before that pick, they had 300lb Robert Bunkley penciled into that spot :S

    Lattimore to SF is a solid move. They can afford to red shirt him all year (if need be) then ideally by the time Gore is ready tot ake a step back you can hand over the duties to Kendall Hunter and in the best case scenario a fully healed Lattimore. :O

    Stolen? Wasn't that part of their punishment for being scumbags with the whole bounty thing?

    Matt Barkley getting drafted in the 4th round is a mild shocker. I think USC qb's now have a stigma associated with them which is unfair. Barkley is going to be a decent qb, far better Leinart or Sanchez.
