c_lou Posted April 22, 2009 Report Share Posted April 22, 2009 Who goes first and who do you want your team to take. I think Stafford goes first. I think the Lions will get thier QB and get the tackle they need with there second pick in the first round or possibly with there second rounder. I would like to see the Packers either get B.J. Raji or Tyson Jackson. If they are truely going to a 3-4, they need a true big man in the middle. If they don't go DT/NT, I would like to see them trade back.

muggs Posted April 22, 2009 Report Share Posted April 22, 2009 You can bet Braylon gets shipped to the Giants on draft day for their 1st rounder and maybe Hixon or something. Ideally, I want to see the Browns trade out of #5 and add picks- the one guy I want to see on this squad is Rey Malaluga...I could care less what Mel Kiper says about him- I'd even take him at #5. I'm really hoping Curry falls to #5- he's the only guy I want to see the Browns draft that high. But like I said, my wish is that they trade Braylon, get the Giants 29th pick, then trade down and add another late 1st and another 2nd. That would give them two late 1st rounders and 3 2nd round picks. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MCH Posted April 22, 2009 Report Share Posted April 22, 2009 I wish the Bills would trade their 11th and 28th for a top 5 and pick up Sanchez. I'm just not sold on Trent Edwards. And with the addition of TO, they're going to need someone to fall back on if Trent struggles. If they don't make a trade, I'd be happy with Pettigrew and maybe Lauranitus.....would love see him and Poslunzky at LB. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
muggs Posted April 22, 2009 Report Share Posted April 22, 2009 Q I wish the Bills would trade their 11th and 28th for a top 5 and pick up Sanchez. I'm just not sold on Trent Edwards.

If they don't make a trade, I'd be happy with Pettigrew and maybe Lauranitus.....would love see him and Poslunzky at LB. Too bad we're not the GMs Kev because if Sanchez is there, I'd do that in a hearbeat. That's what I'm hoping for, either Sanchez or Stafford being there at 5 and someone looking for the next QB bust is willing to give up two first rounders. btw- what's the obcession with Sanchez, really? Why is this guy shooting up the draft board. Average arm, limited experience, major project... really, the only thing I keep hearing people say is he "could be the next Matt Cassell." REALLY? Yeah, wow...great. Actually, I'm sorry...he could be the guy who had an average year in the most efficient offensive system in the game's history!!! Sign me up for the next guy to fit that mold.

MCH Posted April 22, 2009 Report Share Posted April 22, 2009 It's not the he's that good....its just that he's better than what we've got right now on our bench AND the amount of space between him and the 3rd best QB in the draft is rather wide.

But I still don't beleive that to be worth mortgaging their future for a Mark friggin' Sanchez. Besides, I don't think there's a guy worth top 5 guaranteed $$ this year...maybe Curry...that's it though. I think your Bills would be MUCH better off staying with Edwards (at least for one more year) and using their first rounders to address their defense and/or Oline... This all is moot though, because T.O. will have destroyed that locker room by week 9 anyway. Great move Bills.... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NY_Bowhunter14 Posted April 22, 2009 Report Share Posted April 22, 2009 I believe that Jason Smith is going #1, I'm just not sold on Staffords ability as a NFL QB... Bills need an OT, TE, and DE... I would take Pettigrew with #11, the top DE available with #28 and then take an OT with their second round pick... I believe Buffalo has to take Pettigrew at 11 because, he is getting serious interest from the Jets (Pick 17), Philly (Pick 21) and Atlanta (Pick 24)... So take Pettigrew with #11, the DE class is pretty deep this year, so they could pick up a solid DE at pick 28... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
c_lou Posted April 22, 2009 Author Report Share Posted April 22, 2009 If the Lions are smart, they take Smith and then look for McCoy or the Oklahoma guy who's name I can't remember. I mean it's not like they are going to be picking lower than 3 next year. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not a fan of the move, either. I just know that if TO complains and whines about not being thrown to by a Pro Bowl caliber QB, then he's definitely going to be upset with a 3 yr second-tier, ain't proved nothing QB. I'm pretty sure the Bills brass know that if they were to have a young back-up with great potential, that the locker room atmosphere would be a lot lighter.

I do agree on Pettigrew(Okie State boy that I've watched the last couple of years). If the Lions are smart, they take Smith and then look for McCoy or the Oklahoma guy who's name I can't remember. I mean it's not like they are going to be picking lower than 3 next year. His name is Bradford. The Big 12 could have 4 big name QB's coming out next year.

craig mack Posted April 22, 2009 Report Share Posted April 22, 2009 The Loins should draft Curry #1 thats why they will draft Stafford. My first choice is Curry, second Smith, third Orakpo (sp). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They're already ironing out the contract with Stafford. Typical. I agree Craig, pretty terrible move on their part. If that LT from Virginia is legit that should be their pick, Curry wouldn't be bad either. Him and Sims would look nice together in that corps.

colts1888 Posted April 24, 2009 Report Share Posted April 24, 2009 I'd like to see Indy take either DT Perria Jerry or Evander "Ziggy" Hood. If they go WR, i'm hoping maybe Hakeem Nicks. It's also possible they could go RB, but outside of Moreno or maybe Wells, i don't know who they would waste a first on. After years of watching Colts GM Bill Polian draft, one thing is certain, my picks are probably way off and he will probably draft some guy I have never heard of. He does do a pretty good job though.

camoman1 Posted April 24, 2009 Report Share Posted April 24, 2009 I dont have my hopes up for the Packers drafting anybody that will help them this year.. Ted T. already said a while back that ' we dont draft based on need'. Sounds like a 5-11 team eh?? We definatley need linemen on both sides of the ball tho.

If that LT from Virginia is legit that should be their pick, Curry wouldn't be bad either. Him and Sims would look nice together in that corps. Seriously? Wow, you guys have got to be kidding me. Taking a linebacker with the first overall pick is a disaster. You think Sanchez is overrated, this Curry guy is about as overrated as they come. Linebackers are a dime a dozen. QB's are not. If you are the Lions you take a chance with Stafford because that is the only position in football that can turn a franchise around by itself. Curry can have 18 sacks this year and that isnt going to help the Lions win squat if they don't have a QB. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Michiganbowhunter_SQ2 Posted April 25, 2009 Report Share Posted April 25, 2009 I don't mind the pick. They have a ton of picks in this draft, get the QB out of the way and either an OT or LB with the #20 pick, then get the other with the 1st pick in the second round and use the other 6 picks on defense (2 in the third round). They couldn't go wrong picking him, Curry, or Jason Smith. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But if Stafford is a bust, they just guaranteed 40+ million to him and held this sorry excuse for an NFL franchise back even farther. I wanted Curry but I can live with them drafting Stafford but then they turn around and draft a TE in the first round!!!! They have done NOTHING to help their defense and could go 0-16 again!!! Their O-line and D-line are probably the worst in the league so they go out and draft a QB, TE, and a Safety out of Western Michigan. Only the Lions.

Guest Finn Posted April 26, 2009 Report Share Posted April 26, 2009 Kinda wish the Packers had taken Crabtree. He'll be an impact player for years and Driver will retire sometime in the next few. Also, would have liked to see them take Brian Orakpo....but what do I know, Ted Thompson is a genius. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chrud Posted April 26, 2009 Report Share Posted April 26, 2009 I though that the Pack did very well for themselves. Raji and Mathews will be solid. I think GB did very well on Day 1. Their offense is in good shape. The only questions is right tackle. Their biggest problem was defense, mostly injuries. Raji will be good, he could play some DE in the 3-4. I think Matthews was a good move too. I am not sold on Kampman being an OLB, especially coverage. He'll do fine rushing the QB, but Matthews will give some good depth at the OLB. Crabtree would have been an OK move, but I think they are set for WR's. Driver has a few more years left. Martin is very under-rated IMO. He'll make an excellent #3 and Jones will be a solid #4. Jordy Nelson will be a top receiver when he gets a chance to be a starter. It would have been cool to go with Crabtree, but the best way to help this team is to sure up the defense.

Jorden Posted April 26, 2009 Report Share Posted April 26, 2009 I am glad the Packers did not take Crabtree. The offense was not the problem. TT finally got it right this time. To totally ignore the needs on the defense would have been a HUGE mistake. They got guys who can come in and make an impact this year. I think Dom Capers must have been running this draft because this was not a typical Thompson draft:D...giving up draft picks, now that is unheard of:eek:. Overall so far for the Pack I would give them a B+/A- Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
