Yeah, fair point Olly. They're not doing anything this offseason to make the worst defense in the league any better.

by Number-25 Fri 09 May 2014, 3:01 am

Right, that's 3am. I'm turning it in for the night. I hope your Patriots make you happy Olly.

Trust Jerry Jones to spoil the draft.

Jets realise they have no cb's right?

Pryor when Clinton-Dix is still on the board? Please.

Should've put a good in there!

I agree about Clinton Dix, surprised he's still there. Pryor eddy behind him for me

And there's your big reach Miami

by **Good Golly I'm Olly** Fri 09 May 2014, 3:22 am

Saints being aggressive klaxon

by mikeygnfl Fri 09 May 2014, 3:28 am

I like Brandin Cooks. I thought that might be the pick when they moved up ahead of the Eagles. The Eagles should go defence but I wonder if they will think about Johnny Manziel at #22.

by Lowlandbrit Fri 09 May 2014, 4:07 am

Last time Browns took a QB at 22 was Weeden. Time before that was Brady Quinn.

by **Good Golly I'm Olly** Fri 09 May 2014, 4:24 am

Easley happy with that

I'm more worried about his knees than that, I couldn't care less if he didn't watch NFL

by Lowlandbrit Fri 09 May 2014, 4:46 am

Really like that pick for the Vikings. Got to feel a little bad for all those Seattle fans waiting all night for nothing though.

by **Good Golly I'm Olly** Fri 09 May 2014, 4:51 am

Fantastic work by Minnesota

by GSC Fri 09 May 2014, 9:36 am

Interesting first round then...

by Barney92 Fri 09 May 2014, 9:43 am

I was expecting the Rams to move down from one of their picks. Them getting Donald is a good move though. Fair play Cleveland though. If they do well tonight they could have a shot at the AFC North.

What do you think of the Eagles pick?

The guy with the full kit and face paint didn't look too happy at the draft party...

by **Good Golly I'm Olly** Fri 09 May 2014, 9:56 am

"@MikePouncey: Great pick! I can't wait for our gifts he's getting us lol"

What a douche

by GSC Fri 09 May 2014, 10:27 am

Eh, reach but our board got nuked before 22.

Most likely we tried to trade out again but nobody was biting, we had no first round ranked players left so he was top of the board.

Fits the scheme, can rush the passer, set the edge and drop in coverage, needs some development though. Has the size and versatility the FO craves under Chip.

by GSC Fri 09 May 2014, 10:29 am

I don't like what the Rams did. Bradford is not good enough. Priority 1 should've grabbing a QB. Manziel would've fit the NFC West mould of playmaking QBs backed up strong defense and run game.

Or maybe you did have a first round grade on him?

by GSC Fri 09 May 2014, 10:41 am

Maybe. We've tended to be pretty aggressive though recently, I'd imagine we'd have taken him at 22 if he ranked highly.

I can't be too harsh on them cos I think they've picked up two elite talents, but they're in serious danger of just wasting one of the biggest bounties in recent NFL history and missing out on RG3 as a result

by GSC Fri 09 May 2014, 10:43 am

Greg Robinson, fine, 2 was too rich for Manziel. But they definitely should've pulled the trigger at 13.

by NYJ Fri 09 May 2014, 10:45 am

How have they wasted it though? Robinson will be an All Pro some day and Donald is a seriously talented player. Quinn-Donald-Brockers-Long is mouth-watering.

by GSC Fri 09 May 2014, 2:16 pm

Our GM pretty much confirmed all our targets at 22 were off the board and we tried to move down again.

by mikeygnfl Fri 09 May 2014, 3:58 pm

The biggest winners of day one for me are the Browns and Bills. Justin Gilbert and Johnny Manziel are my top CB and QB in the draft.

by NYJ Fri 09 May 2014, 4:11 pm

I don't like both Gilbert and Manziel. Overrated IMO. Another bad draft, for me, was the Panthers. Not only did they fail to fill the bigger hole on the OL, they just drafted a player that will flame out of the NFL in 2 years time.

Packers and Ravens got excellent value with HHCD and CJ Mosley respectively.

I agree about the Packers drafting Haha Clinton-Dix. I can't believe Calvin Pryor went before him and that four safeties went in the 1st round. After Clinton-Dix, I thought there was a big drop off in talent in that position.

I like the Giants pick basically getting Beckham in for Nicks. Calvin Johnson and Eric Ebron make a nice pair of targets for Matt Stafford.

by CJB Fri 09 May 2014, 5:21 pm

NYJ and Olly. Told you Bridgewater would drop. Without trades, he wouldn't have made it, as I predicted

by NYJ Fri 09 May 2014, 5:49 pm

NFL is moronic at times. He will be one of those wonderful hindsight picks where we laugh at all the teams that passed on him. "The Jets took Stephen Hill two picks before Alshonn Jeffery went to the Bears".

by **Good Golly I'm Olly** Fri 09 May 2014, 10:29 pm

Don't understand the Bills giving up so much for a player who they probably won't be able to get the ball to enough.

Jaguars taking Bortles is just yuck. At best he's Jake Locker, at worst he's Blaine Gabbert 2.0. Nowhere near ready to start in the NFL either, so you've just let a load of talent slip for someone who's no good

Green Bay must've been laughing when Dix fell to them, best pick of the first round for me in terms of value and need

Don't like Roby in Denver, gets burned way too often

Easley is a huge risk from us injury wise, potential to be Geno Atkins like if healthy tho

by mikeygnfl Fri 09 May 2014, 11:53 pm

Who is first for the Texans tonight? Carr, Nix?

by Barney92 Sat 10 May 2014, 12:03 am

I think they trade down.

by Number-25 Sat 10 May 2014, 12:07 am

Am hoping Redskins will trade back. Maybe a desperate Cleveland will look to jump the queue to try to grab Marquise Lee given the news that has broken about Josh Gordon??

by mikeygnfl Sat 10 May 2014, 12:11 am

Barney92 wrote:I think they trade down.

Perhaps the Browns will trade up and get Marqise Lee with Josh Gordon being suspended.

by Number-25 Sat 10 May 2014, 12:13 am

Woa, woa, woa.... We've traded with Dallas?? Really???

by mikeygnfl Sat 10 May 2014, 12:17 am

Dallas Cowboys have traded up. They were linked with Kony Ealy earlier.

by mikeygnfl Sat 10 May 2014, 12:22 am

Sufa-Filo for the Texans and Lawrence for the Cowboys.

by Barney92 Sat 10 May 2014, 12:23 am

Thinks it's a good move for the Redskins. They have a good few needs so picking up an extra player is handy for them.

by Number-25 Sat 10 May 2014, 12:26 am

Cleveland take Bitonio??? Didn't realise he could play WR.

by mikeygnfl Sat 10 May 2014, 12:32 am

they are protecting Johnny Manziel first. Find someone he can throw to later.

by Number-25 Sat 10 May 2014, 12:35 am

They're going to have to be able to protect him for a long time now.

by Number-25 Sat 10 May 2014, 1:31 am

Redskins..... Underwhelmed.

by GSC Sat 10 May 2014, 8:12 am

Apparently we stole your pick Thursday lol

Jordan Matthews is a beast

by **Good Golly I'm Olly** Sat 10 May 2014, 9:23 am

F*cking Jimmy Garappolo ffs bill we need a TE

by **Good Golly I'm Olly** Sat 10 May 2014, 9:38 am

If Houston didn't need a QB I'd love there draft so far

Carolina seems to think it can play without a left tackle next year, carries on taking defensive players

by GSC Sat 10 May 2014, 9:49 am

Ealy was too good to pass up
