    Who's going to watch? Looking forward to the draft. Hoping the Packers get help on both lines and a Safety and fill in around the rest of the team.

    Not looking forward to seeing all of the awkward hugs Godell gives to the draft picks. I don't even hug my relatives as hard as he hugs those players.:dan:

    Wow, just when I thought Buffalo couldn't get any worse...they draft someone who would still be available in the 3rd or 4th round with the 16th overall pick.

    LMAO

    The Vikes so far have had a pretty good draft.

    Bears shocked me i really thought Manti Te'o for sure. But we need a G and we can use him as a tackle later on if needed. Good pick up for us would have picked up the kid Geno from WV as a learning back up to cutler we badly need a back up qb

    That's for sure, Steve.

    I'm curious to see how Jarvis Jones fits with the Steeler's. Not a bad pick, not great, but I trust that the organization knows what it's doing.

    The Cowboy's are funny:D

    My team, the Bucs, made their first round pic in Revis over the weekend. I followed the draft online since I don't have cable... Very interesting draft with all the o-linemen taken so early and 2 guards in the top 10. Don't like Miami's trade, agree the Vikings did well, and the Pats managed to double their # of picks... Also no RBs for the the first time in a very long time. There is a lot of talent rounds 2-4.

    I'd like to see Tampa come away with a DT, TE, CB, and DE today. I'd also like them to take a swing at denard Robinson tomorrow if available. I love football.

    You know some of the teams drafting linemen in the late teens to early twenties were steaming mad at the number of linemen already off the board lol.

    Picking 20th overall and taking like the 8th best OL prospect on the board doesn't seem possible. I would have re-evaluated my needs at that point and snatched another position that slipped too far down the boards.

    The Vikings picked up three players with elite talent. Some might say the price of the trade with NE was a little steep but if you go by Jimmy Johnson's draft point value chart (which many teams use as a guide) it was actually fair to both sides.

    The Vikes are no longer giving Ponder any excuses. With all the moves they have made, if he doesn't have a good year they are going to be finding a new starting QB in 2014.

    ^^^^ This

    My guess is Ponder has 5 games at most to prove he's an NFL quarterback this year.

    I was hoping they'd pick Ogletree, who ended up a going a few picks later to the Rams. The kid's a beast. If he can fix his off the field issues he could have a bright future in the NFL.

    I'm pleased with the draft of Long though. It wasn't great, but it could've been worse. And I wouldn't be surprised to see the Bears either trade up in the 2nd to grab Teo or look for a lineman or linebacker with their next choice.

    I think the Rams and the Vikings had the best drafts last night. Both teams are making some moves to try and be contenders this year. Now that they've got the supporting staff it'll be interesting to see if Bradford and Ponder can step up and deliver the goods.

    I'm surprised Teo Didn't get picked in the First Round . I thought he would of gotten pick by the bears or even the Ravens. But Well see where he ends up tonight. He's a good football player and I'm a Notre Dame fan so I've been a fan of his for a long time. Go IRISh!!!

    Agreed. At least there should be some competition this year so that maybe, just maybe he'll try to prove himself. I haven't given up on him yet but I agree he doesn't have many more games (chances) left. Webb at WR would be sweet too.

    Oh after his draft pick, Jerry Jones gave us the 256th reason why he is not qualified to be a GM
