    LETS GO BUFFALO!!!! trading up toi number 4 for the best WR in the draft!! BALLSY!!! i like the call

    Bills paid a pretty steep price to move up for him too...no first round pick next year is a bitter pill to swallow. Hope he can play in cold weather and snow!



    I was pretty shocked with the Giants taking Beckham, but he seems to be speed threat with good hands. There is a lot of O-Line talent still available so maybe they luck out and land Bitonio out of Nevada or maybe Su'a-Filo out of UCLA

    I don't know... how many WRs do you think have gotten credit for leading their team to Superbowl victories? I would gladly give up a draft pick for Lombardi Trophies (Like Eli!)

    Time will tell if he is THAT much better then the next two receivers who were taken. Manual either needed a target or protection.

    Live and die by the N.O. Saints, but I don't care who they pick because we still have Brees and Graham (ahem... sorta). But I live in Houston and so help me if the Texans pick Manziel I'm never watching a game in public. The only thing more annoying than Texans fans are Aggie fans!

    Yeah I said it. Going into hiding now...

    Sammy Watkins is an absolute BEAST. Stevie Johnson's days are numbered. He may turn out to be worth the price.

    I'm pretty happy with the Bears taking Kyle Fuller. I was surprised they didn't go with Pryor or Clinton-Dix as they REALLY need the safety help, but I could see them taking one in round two. I think Aaron Donald was the pick all the way before the Rams got him the pick before.

    Is it me, or does Blake Bortles just scream BUST as #3 to Jacksonville?

    DIEHARD Viking fan,

    Not in love with Barr. He's a converted FB who played at UCLA with his had down, edge rushing the passer. We didn't need that. Needed a thumper. But 9 was too high for Mosely. Besides, Mosely is a bit small. I hope Barr turns out better than I fear. I think he's a Will at the NFL level.

    Love the Bridgewater pickup. Awesome college stats. His TD/INT was phenominal! Not to mention his completeion percentage. Poor pro-day, but awesome private workout! Hopefully he's got some strength, so Patterson can use his legs. And he only costs us a 2nd and a 4th. And we have Cleveland's 5.

    If we focus the rest of the draft on D, I'd be happy. We need a possession WR, like a Welker, but that is a mid-round guy. Also a 3rd down guy. Maybe a late round d3 guy who is small and can run.

    Totally happy with the Raiders taking Mack. I wanted either Watkins, Mack, or Evans, or for them to trade down. As soon as Jacksonville went Bortles I was psyched - Oakland would get any of the 3!

    Rumors are David Carr in the 2nd round for Oakland. I'd be OK with that as well.

    Agree with you on Bridgewater. Im kind of surprised he dropped so far. Played in a pro style offense. Seems like a great kid. Perfect for vikings, because he won't even have to be rushed into being a starter.


    Bills paid a crazy price for Watkins. Especially considering the WR depth in this draft.

    Is an extra first AND fourth rounder worth trading up 5 places? Is there THAT much of a difference between Watkins and Odell (or the other WRs)? Im asking seriously - I love Watkins but don't know much abotu the others.

    Buffalo is going to exciting to watch with Spiller/Watkins and Manuel tho.

    Can't say that I am enamored with Manziel, but I have to love the way that Farmer has worked the draft. It gives me hope with the front office for a change. I can't decide who they should pick at 34 (Hyde, Lee or Su'o-filo). I am leaning towards Hyde, but think I am ok with any of them.

    Your franchise is such a mess I doubt much is going to help you. Good luck though.

    Manziel is a douche and is WAY overrated. He'll be out of the league by 2018.

    Amen. I'll be damned if my Cowboys pick him.

    Your Cowboys (Jerry Jones) are just dumb enough to pick him up, but they surprised me this year and passed. You need to get Jones removed before y'all will ever compete again. Sad but true.

    Seahawk fanatic here. I live in Ohio and I stayed up past 11:00 only to see Seattle trade their #32 pick. Don't get me wrong, I am happy they did this. More picks, later as well. Coach P and GM have done an excellent job lately about getting good late round pics.

    My Falcons did exactly as I hoped, they did not have a shot at Robinson, but they picked up Mathews and he should be able to provide some good protection for Ryan.

    Now, they have an early pick in Round 2, hopefully they can pick up a good rusher.

    I'm a Titans fan, and am used to mediocrity. When I saw our pick, Lewan, I was like,..."who"? I guess since the Texans got Clowney, the whole AFC South will try to get something to counter. It's especially a good idea for us, because our quarterback is glass. Hoping for Carr, Methensburger in the 2nd round. Even McCarron would do. If we went for Carlos Hyde to replace CJ.5K, I'd be okay with that, too.

    Thats a good pick for the Titans. Could have a 10 year player that you dont have to worry about

    I agree, they won't be making a deep playoff run for a few years. But if they can go 8-8 & play the playoff spoiler role for the next couple of years...that would be an improvement!

    Yes, between him, Warmack and Levitre hopefully we'll have a decent OL. It was just puzzling since we got Ohr out of free agency...

    We need a QB, a CB and a RB, too... we're basically in rebuilding mode. Again.

    I'm staying positive, though.

    I think it is about getting an OL to keep your injury prone QB upright. Locker is good just injury prone.
