If you've got any sense, if a team is entertaining the idea of trading you the pick for a couple of mid round picks then they're not seriously taking a 'franchise QB'. I think they must've been more scared the Browns were going to jump them and get back to 2. Mental, as it smashed the draft board... as did some later picks.Originally Posted by Gray Fox
Interesting second selection from N'orleans too. We probably could use better O-line play, but given Robinson is still there I don't know why we didn't take him instead.
Missing out on Foster by one pick is a shame too. Could even have taken Cook to be our latest Reggie Bush/Sproles/Spiller back, but I was definitely expecting defense at 32 as well.
Browns could have taken Garrett, Allen & Peppers last night
The Browns are being pretty 'safe' I think, which is what they need to do when the previous regimes have just thrown swings and hoped for the best. The roster is young and pretty shit so picking up clean, versatile and/or dependable players who have the best chance of playing day 1 isn't a bad strategy.
If Allen did a Clowney and spent a couple of years with niggling injuries it does them no good.
Would love to read how Glennon is feeling today, or see how he reacted to the pick. Welcome to the organisation! This is your replacement we're going to groom.
He's shitting himself, his contract has a getout clause apparently so he could only end up being on a 1 year $2.5m deal.
That's next year I think. He's due something like 18 mill this year guaranteed.
What time does round 2 start?
Yep, I fucked up.
Midnight.
I'll need to go to sleep before then wake because I'm shattered after last night.
Fuck sake.
They need to make it more Euro friendly for THE POTENTIAL ENGLISH FRANCHISE.
I think it's time to declare myself a Jags fan.... two years in a row I've celebrated their picks whilst not giving a fuck about anyone else's. I mean, it only makes sense as I watch them every year.
The Bears obviously feared someone else trading with the Niners, I doubt they expected the Niners to take their guy.
Lynch must have been very convincing.
The only other that would have traded up is the Browns but they'd have had to have given up a fucking mountain to move up from 12th.
Jags at 4 still foolishly believe in Bortles, Titans have Mariota, Jets have McCown who wasn't all that bad at the Browns, Chargers have Rivers, Panthers have Cam, Bengals have Dalton, Chiefs wanted Mahomes and the Saints have Brees.
Lynch played a blinder and conned the Bears into thinking they'd take him.

Barnidge is going to be cut which is pretty damn surprising. Browns have loads of cap space and they're taking a viable weapon away from whoever will be their QB. Plus he could have taught Njokou a lot.
Other teams behind them could still trade up, granted they'd have to give up a lot more, but then again the Bears gave up a ridiculous amount as it was.
Besides, Rivers and Brees aren't going to play forever and I'm not convinced the Chiefs wouldn't have taken him if he was on the board.
I do wonder if they would have taken him if the trade didn't materialise. I can't imagine who else will be their starter at QB. Hopefully Kaepernick
Did anything happen with Cousins yet?
Edit- Oh and McCownHe'll have one good game then get injured right after I pick him up for Fantasy.
The jets aren't taking a qb. They took a shot last year with hackenberg and he's not even stepped on the field.
We're clearly going defence but then again maybe not: http://www.nfl.com/news/story/0ap300...day-2-of-draft
Yeah but if you're the Chargers and Saints you don't select a QB in the first round. You take one in the third/fourth and train them up.Other teams behind them could still trade up, granted they'd have to give up a lot more, but then again the Bears gave up a ridiculous amount as it was.

The Bears got sold down the river which is amazing.
"Anybody is better than Brock Osweiler," the former Panthers and Ravens wide receiver espoused on NFL Draft Kickoff. "He sure does (have a winning record). That's why Houston got rid of him. ... They gave him to Goodwill and Goodwill is trying to get rid of him.
"I'm not sold on (Kizer and Webb), but you don't have much going on. ... You've got to do something because if you don't, everybody's going to be unemployed. Somebody's got to throw to somebody."
Steve holding back nothing
Keep that eye out for Kizer to the Saints. Maybe Cardinals.
What time does the picking start tonight?
Just after midnight.
Two rounds and it's 7 minutes per pick for the second round and 5 minutes for the third round.
Who do you want @Gray Fox?
Hopefully Thompson's traded 33.
I want us to sign Barnidge and go after corners in the draft. Sidney Jones or Quincy Wilson for me.
If Cook slides to us he has to be considered. But we need corners urgently.
You're taking the disgraceful Joe Mixon.
@Giggles.
I never know if you mean that good or bad, but it could happen. Thompson won't care about need if there's a player he likes at the pick.
Still rather see it traded for an additional though. Somewhere in the 40's would be fine.
EDIT: Never mind, it's disgusting, not disgraceful you always use. I presume you mean he's shit then.
He KO punched a woman in a restaurant if memory serves.
'Mixon entered an Alford plea to a misdemeanor assault charge in October 2014 for punching a woman named Amelia Molitor in the head, causing broken bones in her face which required hospitalization and surgery. The incident happened on July 25, 2014 at Pickleman's Gourmet Cafe in Norman, on Campus Corner.'
There are videos, she gives him a bit of a slap and he returns with a massive hook to her face.
The Packers want him according to sources
Any other channels this is on? There's no NFL network on SportsMania any more.
EDIT: Was looking in the wrong place.
Only way I see it is if they've been offered a 2nd for Hundley. I'd rather Hundley though.The Packers want him according to sources
Game Pass.
It's free till about roughly mid-June.

Got back from watching Guardians just in time for Day 2
Christ I don't know if I could stick much of Eisen and this coverage.
Solid pick.
We nearly bumped up the order there for a second.
Corner was main need. No idea about the player though.
@Browning mate.
Moving up one spot?
Cam Robinson here.
Edit: They didn't want the Seahawks to take him, Pleb.
Was wondering if he might be there when we pick next, but not surprised he isn't.
Just like yesterday, the team picking third has traded up to the second pick of the day - Jags move up to the Seahawks' spot, presumably to make sure they get Cam Robinson.
Ridiculous that it takes over 5 minutes from the pick being in to actually announcing it.
Seattle actually make a pick. Well I never.
Cardinals must love whoever they take here.
More than likely it will be Kizer.
This is all trades so far.
I was going tothat but that's a safe pick considering we mainly need defensive guys and a QB but we'll get that via trades (probably).
Surprised to see no QB going yet, especially with all the trades.
Cook looks like he could be there for us.
That Samuel seems to be a bit of an 'Offensive weapon' ala Denard Robinson which isn't a great comparison.
Unlucky, Fox.
Randle the fucking wanker.
