Maybe Lacy?

Nah. Eifert or Jones.

Hopefully his play is more indicative of future performance than that brutal 40 time...

duff · Post by **duff** » Thu Apr 25, 2013 9:14 pm

It's all based on 40 time.

Shit.

They just took Sheldon RIchardson. All the Jets fans looked around puzzled. What does that say?
Same. Old. Jets. So basically the Jets have a mediocre, shaky QB with one receiver, no TE and RBs. Seriously, no RBs capable of carrying the ball, and not 1 TE capable of catching the ball. Other than Santonio Holmes who obviously has a lot of talent but is a locker room cancer and had to be benched for causing a fight in the huddle with 1 minute left in the season with the playoffs still on the line, so a character guy. Stephen Hill showed some flashes of talent, but injuries held him to 252 yards as a rookie. So that is the Jets entire offense. Yeah, Rex is going to need to hold opponents to single digits if he wants to win any games this year.

I guess there aren't good RBs coming out this year, huh? But, at least I don't have to root for Teo, unless he makes it into the second round.

But the Jets drafted a hell of a player

Precisely.

Oh and he has spinal stenosis. I don't even know what that is but it doesn't sound awesome.

The fact that Fisher went number 1 makes up for the Lions taking a stiff at #5. So tonight is a good night. Fire up Chips!

The DT? He looks really small for a DT. I look at him and think Vernon Ghoulston. I am just jaded and scared off of small D-lineman after that debacle. This offseason is a nightmare for the Jets. They lost half their starters and picked up pretty much nothing in return. I may have to take the season off and focus on Arsenal.

He's not Gholston. Gholston was a combine kid, ala Mike Mamula.

Richardson can actually play.

The only thing that's scary from the Jets perspective is that Richardson is not a 3-4 NT. He's a 3-4 DE, but they're set there, right? So fit may be interesting, but at the same time, it's not like Rex is going to be there in 2014, right?

ETA: As Devilfluff said, Richardson was double teamed like crazy in the SEC and was a freaking beast. He was incredible against Alabama. (Every defensive snap he was in on is below. He's #34.

Can't believe Vikings passed on both Teo and Patterson. Still, love the guys they got. Floyd was a heck of a value. Rhodes was not supposed to be there at 25.

Shefter just said they are trying to trade back into the 1st round to get T'eo.

Johnnie · Post by **Johnnie** » Thu Apr 25, 2013 10:28 pm

Well this is awkward. Now that the Pats traded out of the 1st round (to Minnesota), they had to run the "Boston Strong" stuff and have Joe Andruzzi talk now.

Johnnie · Post by **Johnnie** » Thu Apr 25, 2013 10:33 pm

I guess Manti T'eo's girlfriend is one of Adam Schefter's sources.

Boston Strong is Detroit Weak.

Very surprised by all the OGs taken tonight.

What is the take on Werner? I am not impressed with the selection. I felt Datone Jones would have fit the scheme better.

Very strange first round. EJ Manuel? Really?

The Bills were enamored with his spot on Sports Science earlier in the week, for sure.

So will Bjoern Warner get a tattoo of the face of each qb he sacks?

Narrowing of the spinal canal

Glad Vikings got Patterson. Wish they had kept either the 3 or the 4 they gave up, but they still have five picks in a deep draft, so not too upset.

Jerloma, I think Steeler fans are going to love Jarvis. His 40 was surprisingly bad, but this guy is a baller. Very high up on most Georgia fans all-time favorite lists. Just seems to be the type that makes huge plays at crucial times. The absolute key to the first back-to-back victories over Florida in 20 years.

I think Jones will be a 6-8 year starter for the steelers, who always seem to get a lot out of their linebackers. He is a player. I'm just glad the browns didn't have the opportunity to get Ansah.

More proof that the NCAA's rules are killing athletes ability to live. I mean the kid can't even afford fake trendy glasses. On the other hand he was able to pay for a ticket to a 3d film.

Wicked! I feel much better now. Thanks.

Hopefully, he can learn the system quickly because they don't have much at OLB besides Woodley. That right side is his for the taking.

That was the hope deflating out of me after a extreme reach pick...

I like the Texans pick, though.

So only one QB drafted and no RBs drafted in the first round. That has to be unprecedented, right? And only 2 or 3 WRs, 1 TE? Lots of Linemen this year.

Post by **brian** » Fri Apr 26, 2013 11:23 am

The disconnect between the national and Detroit media about the Ansah pick is pretty hilarious. The national guys love the pick -- Pete Prisco gave the Lions the only A+. The Detroit media is basically calling him Darko Ansah.

One of my best friends is a Lions season ticketholder and him and his pals are furious. Not sure why the national media loves it so much. 5th overall is far too early for an extremely raw player with very limited college production (even if he is admittedly a physical freak). At least that's this asshole's opinion.

Yeah, no one I know likes the pick. If the Lions were picking later in the first round I wouldn't have had any issue with it -- he could absolutely develop into a beast -- but #5 was way too early. Though I guess at least they didn't trade up to reach like the Dolphins did.
