[Crazy_Chris]

Why would the Vikings trad up that far when there is a decent chance that he will be there at #17? Hell even if Merling were to go before #17 it would still make more sense to just stay there and then take Chris Williams and then draft Lawrence Jackson in round 2.

I like the creativity but a trade that would make more sense for the Vikings would be to send one of their 3rd round picks to the Bills/Panthers in order to move up and make sure they get Derrick Harvey.

[Menardo75]

Your top ten trades dont make much sense. Why would the Redskins trade up that high to draft a guy that does not fit their defense. The Cowboys trade could happen but it would probably happen with the Raiders. Philp Merling? He is a late first round pick why would a team trade up into the top ten to draft him? You might need to take a look at your value charts.

[BaLLiN]

I dont really like any pick in this giants draft

Cherilus - RT (we would want to draft a LT and he isnt good enough for that yet and maybe never)

Decoud- S (I dont think we'd draft him because he really wasnt productive throughout his career and thats alot of what we look for)

Hayes- (Very undersized LB, plays with tenacity, quick, he's an alright pick by me)

[Bills2083]

1.) Mike Jenkins - Great Pick
2.) Devin Thomas - OK pick. I think I'd rather go with James Hardy.
3.) Lavelle Hawkins - Bad pick. I have no idea why you gave us another WR here. TE is our largest need after WR/CB. I'd rather go with Jermichael Finley or Martin Rucker.

[Dam8610]

Wow, Felix Jones can play for the Colts AND Chiefs? He must be the best RB ever. Seriously though, it's alright, but not great. I'd prefer a DT with that 2nd round pick, i.e. Dre Moore. By the way, you also have Chris Ellis playing for the Jaguars and Panthers.

[Matthew Jones]

Rivers over Cromartie and it's good for the Patriots, I guess.

[T-RICH49]

Leodis McKelvin is NOT worth the 5th overall pick.Glenn Dorsey or Sedric Ellis instead

[Jakey]

I would much prefer Williams or Otah over Rachal in the 1st. We could prolly land Rachal in the 2nd.

[TimD]

I don't like any pick that you have the Jets taking.

22) New York Jets *** VIA TRADE W/DAL *** - Branden Albert OG Virginia

We have Faneca and Moore (2 very capable guards) and then Woody and Wade Smith who can play guard for depth. I know you're thinking that Albert would be the future but we don't need to draft a future guard in the 1st round nearly 2 years before he's going to be handed the reigns.

28) New York Jets *** VIA TRADE W/DAL*** - Dan Connor ILB Penn State

I understand why you made this pick, because of Vilma leaving, but we have 2 great starters in the inside with Barton and Harris plus Calvin Pace can play inside. ILB is not a more important need than OLB, WR, DL, or CB.

5) New York Jets - Dustin Keller TE Purdue

Although I really like Keller and TE is a need for us it is not more important than the 4 I just listed. This draft has us completely ignoring our top 4 needs.

If I was you this would have been my Jets picks.

1. 22 - Malcolm Kelly WR
1. 28 - Quentin Groves OLB/DE
2. 5 - Antoine Cason CB or Dre Moore DL

[BeerBaron]

that is a pretty good bears draft, i like it. the o-line gets beefed up and we get some help at rb and wr.

ill buy it

[hugegmenfan]

eh bad giants draft

dont really like anything in it as ballin72 said also.

also the jets drafting another olineman would seem sorta silly- they just spent a ton of money on woody and faneca to soldify it

[Yatta!]

You have Curtis Lofton and Felix Jones in twice and no Aqib Talib.

[Thunder&Lightning]

i really like the sd pick williams is a steal there.

[fed36]

I have removed the extra Felix Jones and Curtis Lofton

[Vikings4ever]

No way in hell the Vikes trade up for Merling, especially not to the 8 spot. There's a good shot he'll be there at 17.

[skinzzfan25]

Damn, if we got Gholston that would be SICK.

I don't care if he doesn't fit our defense, we'll find a spot for him.

[GB12]

Hate Fred Davis at 30
Really hate Justin King at 56 (You have him on the twice by the way to Green Bay and Dallas)
Not a big fan of Tracy Porter, but at 60 it's not that bad
Jamal Charles in the third is good

[iowatreat54]

great Bears draft...I like the first version better just because I am more optimistic about Rice than Forte, but still great work overall

[Yung Flippa]

Good 1st & 3rd for Houston.
Good Trade for Baltimore. HATE Baltimore's 1st Round pick, I really think Brian Brohm will be a flop, I'd rather have Reggie Smith. I like the Patrick Lee pick but I'd rather have Antonie Cason. LOVE Gooden to Baltimore!!!

[thebow305]

I'm not a big fan of that miami draft at all. Flacco is the only decent pick, but it makes no sense for us to take TWO ILB's in the 2nd. Lofton would be fine at the end of round 2 and I would rather have Cason, Carlson, or Nicks at the top of round 2. Hate the jake long pick, would much rather have Chris or Vernon Gholston.

[eaglesalltheway]

DeSean Jackson is a bad pick for the Eagles. It is good at addressing the position, but Sweed or Kelly are better options for the Eagles. I like you r second round pick for the Eagles, but would probably change the third to an OT.

[619]

Raiders will get much more if they're going to move down that far imo.

[Joeyjr09]

Why on earth would Miami draft 2 ILB's with Channing Crowder and Reggie Torbor already on the roster?

Have you ever seen a Trade Value Chart? Washington moves up to the number 4 overall pick by only giving up the number 21 and 51 overall picks?

Dude, the number 4 overall is worth 1,800. The number 21 and 51 combined are worth 1,190. Washington would have to give up the number 21 overall, the number 51 overall and a 2009 1st rounder to get close to what is considered fair value for the number 4 overall pick.

http://www.nfldraftcountdown.com/features/valuechart.html

If your gonna made trades, this is what you go off of. If the numbers are within the same ballpark then the trade is a horrible one. 1,800 and 1,190 are not even on the same planet, let alone the same ballpark.

[doingthisinsteadofwork]

After spending as much money on WRs as we have I doubt we draft one in the 1st. Give us Albert.The other two picks are pretty good.

[Seasonticketholder]

If Glenn Dorsey is sitting there at #8, the Saints would trade up to get him assuming the Bengals would want him. I do not know that they will given that they are running that hybrid 3-4 system. Ellis would be a better fit there than Dorsey because Ellis can play both the nose and 3-tech.

[SmarterThanU]

TRADE #1 Washington trades #21, #51 for Oakland’s #4

What? This would be a horrible trade for Oakland. And if Dallas is trying to move up and use both their first round picks obviously Oakland would of jumped on their trade offer. Just ********. Horrible trade value unless the Skins throw in Clinton Portis.

TRADE #2 Dallas trades #22, #28 to New York Jets for #6

Dallas would have to throw in a third round pick too to make this an equal trade.

Vikings and Ravens trade looks about right.

If Branden Albert is gone I highly doubt they reach on Chilo Rachal. They need an OG actually less than an OT. They can move Willie Colon to LG if they drafted Jeff Otah to play RT.

Jason Jones doesn't fit the Steelers defense. Too small to play DE too big to play OLB. If Traver Laws who excelled in the 3-4 at Notre Dame was still on the board in the second the Steelers would jump on him.

Steelers aren't in need of a center. So if they go interior line at that point Jeremy Zuttah would be a nice pick. Dominated at OT in a small school but should excel at OG in the pros. Or I wouldn't mind seeing Jorsy Nelson WR Kansas St. there either.

Also, Felix Jones gets drafted twice.

[Packman1957]

1 Keller over Davis in the 1st for the Pack

2a Not a big fan of him, right position though

2b Good Pick, only if we don't take a CB with 2a

3 Ahhh....no I see no reason to take a RB like him, the only RB I could see us taking is one that would be able to contribute immediately, which probably means one of the top ones.

[Dr. Gonzo]

Merling is a gargage pick for the Vikings at 17 and he is even worse at 8. Just because Mayock says he is good doesn't mean he actually is. He is a horrible pick for what the Vikings need.

[toddmlazarchick]

if only that could come true, but it will cost more then just a 2nd for the #4 pick. but it is the raiders, they are pretty dumb lol!
