[wicket]

what is the reasoning behind the barkley pick for the saints? Lets just say that chris faulk would be an infinitely better pick unless we trade brees

[maverick85]

Tyler Wilson is great pick but why Hopkins in the 2nd? especially with Minter still on the board and LB being a bigger need then WR for Buffalo. Buffalo could take Da'rick Rodgers in the 3rd to help at that position and take Minter in the 2nd

[rawdawg]

Joseph Randle didn't go to UCLA.

As for the Bears draft, I'm a big Ogletree fan, but I don't see anyway the Bears, who hired an offensive head coach and have a GM who explicitly mentioned getting better at OL, TE, and speed at WR...will pick a defensive player in the 1st round.

With Cooper, Warmack and Johnson going off the board right before them, I think they'd take Fluker or one of the TEs at 20. In the 2nd round, I like Warford over Pugh, who I don't feel is an NFL OT and isn't a better OG than Warford.

[Matthew Jones]

I'd be pretty happy with that draft for New England, although all three picks seem like slight reaches. It's also kind of hard to imagine the Patriots drafting a slot receiver in the first round with the WR depth in this class.

Because Hopkins can be a No. 1 rather quickly. Stevie Johnson is good, but he'd be better with talent across form him.

Good catch. should have been Jonathan Franklin.

Was just going with the fact it's a deep OL class and Ogletree could replace Urlacher easily.

Tavon could start at the #2 WR and then move to the slot on 3rd downs.

The idea is that Barkley is good value there and you need someone to sit behind Brees and learn from him for a couple of years before he retires. Barkley could do well in an Aaron Rodgers type situation.

I won't disagree with that rational, but it really isn't what we need. I agree with wicket that OT in the 3rd is far more logical.

[princefielder28]

Packers have given out long term deals to Lang and Sitton so guard will not be an early round target. Vaccaro and Ball would be terrific selections.

[jackson34]

That is a horrible Raiders pick!! Geno isn't worth the #3 pick in the draft...I like the 3rd round pick but we will not be picking Geno Smith!

[steelersrock151]

For the Steelers, Williams is a lousy first round pick but a great second round pick, while Minter is a awesome second round pick who doesn't have a chance in hell of making it that far. Switch those two picks outright and I think you have a good two first rounds for them.
Tyler Bray has a strong arm but lacks maturity, so I don't think he is on the Steelers radar. Even if they need a backup QB, they have much bigger needs that Jenkins, McDonald, and Lattimore (the next three picks) fill much better. I'd take any of them in a heartbeat over Bray.

[Phins827]

Quite possibly the BEST Dolphins draft I have EVER seen

If the Pats want a slot receiver, they re-up Welker. If they want to tinker with the offense a little and get a bigger guy I'd go with Hopkins. Don't see Austin going to them. Given his board, I'd probably take Hankins. I don't see Datone Jones - DE - UCLA on his board. He might be a 1st rounder. I'd consider him at 29 if I'm the Pats. Cyprien and Alford play positions we need help. Can't complain too much. Alford isn't a reach. Would probably have to reverse the two. Alford in the 2nd and Cyprien in the 3rd makes more sense value wise.

I get the reasoning but that would be drafting for about 4 years down the road and with so many needs that isnt something the saints can afford to do right now

[thebow305]

Scar, I friggin love you dude!

One of best Phins drafts I've seen, although I would replace Hunt with Datone Jones, but it's not a big deal. Nice work!

Uh no they wouldn't? When was the last time the Bills took a character risk? They wont touch Rodgers. I love both Hopkins and Minter but I love Hopkins more. He is a legit top 15 talent in my opinion while Minter is a top 25 talent. Wilson has no chance its either gonna be Smith if he drops, Glennon, or another position for the Bills at 8

[Abaddon]

Geno. Blech.

[vidae]

Really bad KC mock. Taking a DT over Geno when he goes 3rd? And then taking Nassib, who has looked awful? Pass.

[indyfan1985]

Not a fan of the Colts draft. They dont need another ILB in Teo when they already have 3 capable starters at ILB.

They can take SS Kenny Vaccaro or trade down.

[ChicagoBearsVet23]

Good 1st round pick. Ogletree is the exact playmaking LB we need to replace Urlacher. Pugh is overrated. If Warford is avaliable he will be a Bear.

[Brown Leader]

I think it's doubtful Lombardi & Banner would ignore the medical concerns and take Jones #6. A WR in the 3rd is fine but Goodwin as a small/speed project guy and we have a guy just like that in Travis Benjamin. If we went WR, I think it would be a guy that could immediately step in and push Little. By your board that would be Patton-but I doubt he's in the 3rd unless he runs a 4.6 in Indianapolis.

beat me to it.a nightmare draft for KC

[killxswitch]

No way on Teo. ILB is the strongest position on the defense.

[OSUGiants17]

As much as I love Lane Johnson, no chance we pass on Ansah. Give the Giants Ansah, Warford and then Alford. Much better draft

[leroyisgod]

Lacey is a slight curve ball for the Cowboys in the 2nd, but I like this mock. Two thumbs up!!!
