I'll take Matt Kalil if that means we can draft RG3 in the second, but OT is far from our biggest need. Hell, if Gaither gets healthy he might be starting at LT for us next year.

Comments are appreciated. I do not have Florida St's CB Xavier Rhodes declaring.

Got some interesting games next week that could decide who gets Andrew Luck. Chiefs at Colts. Cardinals at Vikings.


7. Jacksonville Jaguars- DE Quinton Couples, North Carolina
Alshon has to be the guy! If Bradford gets his why can't Gabbert?

8. Carolina Panthers- RB Trent Richardson, Alabama
No way!!!!!!!!

10 Denver Broncos- WR Alshon Jeffrey, South Carolina
Swap with Richardson

13. Philadelphia Eagles- LB Manti Te'O, Notre Dame
I can dig it!

14. Tennessee Titans- WR Michael Floyd, Notre Dame
Yes again! I'm really starting to like you!

19. Buffalo Bills- OT DJ Fluker, Alabama
I believe he goes higher if he declares. Arguably the #1-2 OT for 2013.

22. Tampa Bay Bucs- OLB Courtney Upshaw, Alabama
They need a CB something Bad

24. Houston Texans- WR Jeff Fuller, Texas AM
Yes my man!

29. Baltimore Ravens- FS T.J. McDonald, USC
Eddie's heir....I can see it!

Best player available: RB Lamar Miller, Miami FL.
No question! But why is he the third best back on your board behind James?


Constructive feedback in Bold

[Matthew Jones]

I can't see the Panthers drafting a RB after investing $43 million in DeAngelo Williams and with Jonathan Stewart on roster. I'd go with Jeffery there as a no-brainer. You could probably just flip those two because the Broncos could use a new running back.

I'm not sure Zach Brown fits in Arizona, and Philly historically has shied away from drafting linebackers anywhere high. I could see Arizona going with Fluker, they've had some terrible line play for years and years. I think Fluker will go much higher than you have him. How often do you get a chance to draft a 6'6", 350 pound tackle with athleticism? Tackles are also historically one of the positions teams feel most comfortable in drafting high.

Would the Titans really draft another receiver who has had legal issues after what has happened with Britt (and earlier, Pac-Man?)

Cordy Glenn has struggled and I could definitely see Oakland going in another direction.

Donnie Fletcher is more like a third-round pick. He is tall and long-limbed but his hips and quickness are disappointing. He's too gangly to go anywhere near that spot.

T.J. McDonald is a massive reach - fairly stiff and doesn't take the best angles.

I'd like both Patriots picks.

Where are Morris Claiborne and Jerel Worthy? Both seem like top-20 locks (at least at this point in the process.)

[Pat Sims 90]

Would rather have Claiborne for the Bengals.

[DiG]

gilmores a fine pick for the skins although i will say josh wilson and kevin barnes are starting to step it up. well see how the year plays out. how bout giving us robert griffin iii ;)

[elway=goat]

The Broncos will have a way higher pick than 10. They are going to have a top 3 pick again. Very, very bad team.

[K Train]

taze would bring me so much joy

[Hurricanes25]

The Jets need a passrusher so Brandon Jenkins is a good pick.

[killxswitch]

Hate to miss out on all those other talented players but yes it has to be Luck.

Miami and Minnesota scare me though, their schedules are tough.

[Robcards]

Vikings NEED a receiver. Jaguars NEED to improve their secondary. Panthers offense needs no improvement, especially not their skill positions, Smith and Nanee and Olsen and Shockey have all been solid...

[holt_bruce81]

St. Louis Rams = good pick.

[Robcards]

The Jets need a passrusher so Brandon Jenkins is a good pick.

Jets run defense is in much worse shape. I'd much rather they get someone like Worthy or Chapman. Our linebackers are getting up there but still solid. Can get good value at OLB 2nd round. Also Jenkins would not be a DE for a 3-4 team... he's 265 lbs

also Fluker won't be coming out for 2012, he still needs some work. and Hightower and Kuechly are widely rated higher than Burfict. Burfict is a late 1st-early 2nd rounder while Te'o, Kuechly, and Hightower are all mid 1st

Trent Richardson is awesome.
