The order is pretty close to the current order. I attempted to find the order out Monday night on my own, so I didn’t have to worry about that yesterday. Please criticize, and as usual, if you don’t like a pick, please give other options that are available at that spot.

[Turtlepower]

I think 2 OLBs in the 2nd is overkill.

[Scotty D]

Black is much better suited as a RT and we have Gosder. Marks or Duke would be better picks there.

[RaiderNation]

Great raider draft

[619]

Overall good Raider picks although I prefer Monroe to Oher at this point.

[Yatta!]

Brilliant Packers draft!

[captainjack27]

I like the macho harris pick, only if we lose mcfadden in the offseason. Otherwise the depth there is fine with the emergence of willie ***

[T-RICH49]

like the first 2 picks for KC but in the third give us the best OL available.Tupou or Eric Wood would be my preferance

[BeerBaron]

LOVE Everette to the Bears, Unger is alright, Massequoi....ok....I guess. I'd prefer Ramses Barden there though. He'll prove himself worth being at least a 3rd rounder come draft time I feel.

[CJSchneider]

8. San Francisco- Eugene Monroe OT Virginia
8. San Francisco- Kenny Britt WR Rutgers
8. San Francisco- Connor Barwin DE/OLB Cincinnati

Excellent combination. All of our top 3 needs are met. Hill gets some protection and a great young target. Barwin is a tough and versatile guy who is a great athlete.(he's played TE and Basketball for Cincy)

15. New Orleans- Taylor Mays S USC
A need and I love USC so I like the pick, but I'd rather see us trade down and add picks and get Cushing somewhere towards the end of the 1st.

[toddmlazarchick]

wow just wow!

If the skins landed Smith and Moala id do the worm across my living room!

[DiG]

i agree with todd. great skins draft. i dont love fili but hes good value there.

[Menardo75]

After the first pick I really don't see much. The second guy drafted needs to be a FS. Monroe was right on. The third pick is probably ok. Make the second one a FS and it should be good.

[foozball]

nice texans mock. makes sense all 3 picks. i dont like shaughnessy though, but i understand the pick.

[Smooth Criminal]

Great Steelers mock. I love Robinson in the first and Harris in the 2nd. Both are great picks.

Don't know how I feel about the 3rd rounder. Never seen him play and I don't really like taking flyers on small school prospects.

[marshallb]

I think 2 OLBs in the 2nd is overkill.

Sorry, I meant to change that, I noticed after I finished the 2nd that I forgot Cushing, so I ended up putting him with the Giants, I'll change that 2nd pick then. How does Tate sound?

[Go_Eagles77]

A couple reaches but you got all the positions for the eagles right so I'll give you that.

[marshallb]

Black is much better suited as a RT and we have Gosder. Marks or Duke would be better picks there.

alright, I'll make note of this.

[marshallb]

alright, point taken.

[marshallb]

I was actually thinking about Barden, but I have Massequoi rated higher.

[marshallb]

I don't do trades, otherwise I probably would have the Saints trading down, what do you think of Ellerbe to NO in 3?

[marshallb]

Ok, I saw that CJSchneider thought that the top 3 needs were met, but you have S at #2, care to explain why?

[marshallb]

A couple reaches but you got all the positions for the eagles right so I'll give you that.

I disagree, other than maybe Johnson, who I have as an early 2nd. I think Britton is great value there, Coffman is a mid 2nd to me, and Davis is a late 2nd-early 3rd, so I think that is also good value.

[derza222]

I like the two Jets picks. Maclin can be a good contributor early as a slot guy and deep threat for Favre and eventually take over for Coles. He adds an explosive element to the offense that we don't have outside of Leon Washington. Bruton I like a lot and is a good fit at safety, where we definitely have a need next to Kerry Rhodes. We do have the Saints third rounder though from the Vilma trade.

[drowe]

the first 2 picks for the Packers are perfect.

I hate the idea of taking a DT that early. not saying it wouldn't happen. and that would be a great value pick. just saying i wouldn't be happy about it. i'd rather have a RB, or a CB

[regoob2]

Hey Baron how do you feel about Barden?? :D JK

[thebow305]

That is a very nice Miami draft! I love the Michael Johnson and Mickens picks, but I would prefer Bruton at Safety over Taylor. I would also prefer Byrd over Robiskie or possibly even Terrance Taylor, as we need to start grooming a replacement for Ferguson.

Thanks, I will make note of that, this is my first three rounder of the year, and I didn't know of trades, I knew Detroit had Dallas's 3rd, and Dallas had Cleveland's 3rd, but not any more. I checked out some other three rounders, and didn't see that the Jets had New Orleans 3rd.

alright, I'll make note of those differences for next time.

[vidae]

Yes, what he said. Curry and English are two pretty crazy picks that would make our defense better immediately, but we still do need to find that RG or RT for the right side of our line. The left is looking great but we're hurting on the right.

[wicket]

I don't do trades, otherwise I probably would have the Saints trading down, what do you think of Ellerbe to NO in 3?

dude is fine, we are gonna go s-olb with our two picks in one order or the other so picking both and doing nothing absurd value wise and we're good. Ellebe is proper value in the third so i am happy.

[bearsfan_51]

Not a bad draft for the Bears, certainly something I could see happening.

That said, WR is obviously our most glaring need, so I tend to take the Maclin/Heyward-Bey projections pretty seriously.

[OneToughGame]

GREAT Seattle picks. The 3 biggest needs in the exact order, Thank you.

[marshallb]

alright, I guess I didn't know the right side was that bad. I also was under the impression that KC could use a WR opposite Bowe.

[marshallb]

is it true that NYJ have the Saints 3rd from the Vilma trade?

[marshallb]

ok, from what I have seen from the Bears games, was no pass rush, so I have DE as the #1 need, and a lot of other Bears fans on here seem to agree, I do think that WR is up there though.

[Bigburt63]

I like the patriots draft, but I would still like to get a safety in the first three rounds, but the first 3 picks are awesome

[wicket]

is it true that NYJ have the Saints 3rd from the Vilma trade?

Depends on wheter we resign him (which we wont we will sign him again in free agency) As long as we dont feel like sacrificing a first (which we wont) the Jets get our third and we get their fourth.

[marshallb]

alright, thanks for clarifying that.

[Primate]

Drowe. We need defensive line depth badly. Unless you want Alfred Malone and Kenny Pettway on the line next year.

Great draft for the Packers!

[vidae]

alright, I guess I didn't know the right side was that bad. I also was under the impression that KC could use a WR opposite Bowe.

We did but Mark Bradley has been a great pickup for us this offseason. I expect him and Will Franklin to get a lot of playing time next season as our 2nd/slot guys.

[Menardo75]

Because all our big plays in the passing game have been given up because we lack a true FS.

alright, thanks for explaining.

[OSUGiants17]

Great Giants draft, A

[beastmode23]

perfect bills draft

[tfry]

I like the Rams first two rounds and really can't find anything to argue with there. If Smith is there in round1 we have to grab him. If not, I think we take whoever is available between Stafford and Bradford. In round2 I like the Butler pick and he certainly addresses a major need. However, in round 3 give us Javon Ringer or James Davis. We are already set a DT and have some decent depth there with Carriker, and Ryan.

[urinemonkey]

excellent Broncos draft, my one complaint is that I'd rather have Brace in the 3rd.

[the decider13]

Good first 2 picks for Denver, personally, I think a RB in the third would be good, especially with Davis and Ringer on the board. Although the DT pick makes sense given the aweful defense.
