2011 NFL Draft

[Sgt PSN]

Since Carolina used #1 on Newton, they really would have been better off trading their #2 to Tenn for Young.  More or less the same player, but Young at least has experience and can start right away.

i didnt think a one...and presumably a low one...and a couple fours to go up and get jj was too much....actually seems like a good trade for both teams but id give the edge to the atl

this years firsts cancel out

they gave a first next year and two 4ths to move from 27 to 6



and what is this new thing this year with guys staying on the phone for five minutes before going to the stage....its so awful

That's a 12th round pick.  Joke's on Cleveland because the draft doesn't go that deep anymore.  Suckers.

Atlanta got fleeced

I don't think so.  I'm on board with IGY's logic here.  When you're a top team in the league, you can afford to give up an extra draft pick here and there.  They don't need to build a core through the draft like Cleveland does, they only need to address a few specific needs.  Why draft players that you don't need or think will even make the roster?  Better off using that pick to move up and get someone that you covet.

i envy teams like that because its what the eagles should have done all those years (they did do it in 04)...if you are on the cusp go for it...i also love that atlanta went for a player that can help them right away and is at a position of need...yeah of course jj has to pan out but if he does the pressure he takes off of what happens to be atlantas two best players is enormous

btw if you go by the trade value chart they overpaid by about a 160 pts which is the eqivalent of a mid third rounder

vikings panicked with locker gone

Another difference between the Pats and Eagles......the Pats identify veterans that they feel are getting old or that they won't be able to re-sign and they move them for draft picks.  Then they use those draft picks, package them together and get a few quality players.  Look at what they did with guys like Seymour and Vrable.

And wow @ Detroits d-line now.  It was already scary enough and now they just added Fairley to the mix?  Damn.

Detroit's interior line will be amazing.
