Well, they needd OL help,and a very good talent is on the board in Riley Reiff, OT from Iowa. Would be a solid pick. Or Dontari Poe, DT from Memphis. Either way, very good pick for Arizona. And Reiff would be very good it they are trying to get Manning to come to the desert.

Can i have pick 54 (falcons)?

Sure thing. BTW, I just plugged Ohara831 pick of Riley Reiff to Arizona because it seemed like a realistic pick (nothing personal Irishog, and it still keeps Dever available for you at 20). Next up, BleedBluegold.

The Cowboys are an average team with holes up and down the roster and very little depth on the o-line or d-line. We also need help at linebacker and in the secondary. The logical thing to do is trade back and stock pile picks, but we can't do that here. So with the 14th pick we select, Mark Barron safety Alabama. I would like a corner here but, Jenkins and Fitzpatrick had drug problems and we just don't have the type of leaders in the locker room like the Ravens and Steelers.

What's up with Floyd to the Chiefs? That's completely unrealistic.

You may be right, but I read somewhere today that 3 teams reportedly have him as the no. 1 WR on their board. BTW, getting Internal Server Error when trying to copy and paste BleedBlue&Gold comments to first page. JimmyMac is on the clock for the Eagles.

Barron is a good pick for the Cowboys. If they wanted O-Line help, DeCastro is still on the boards, too.

I read that also about a couple teams saying they had Floyd over Blackmon as the #1 receiver. Cant see that, but I do think he is clearly the #2 receiver in the Draft. Think he'll go somewhere in the early to mid teens if his stock keeps rising. But Blackmon is just a monster and will be a terrific #1 receiver for the team who gets him. I know Rams fans hope like heck they trade back from #2 for more picks and still get him. What a present for Sam Bradford.

Luke Kuechly-- If Kuechly is on the board, and the Eagles are drafting, he will be the pick (while I am a little hesitant to draft a BC guy, seeing as all my family went there, and do I ever remember the days of Mike Mamula). Let's look at why: First, the Eagles have not had a linebacker who can make plays in a while- maybe Jeremiah Trotter in his prime, but even the Axe Man was limited. I actually think the Eagles will trade up in this draft- but at 15 Kuechly would be a great fit. He dominated defensively on an awful BC team, ran a 4.58 at the combine, and had an impressive 38 inch vert. He would solidify the middle of the defense, and Linebacker is definitely a large area if need. If Kuechly is not there- look for the Eagles to trade up or down, as Andy Reid loves to move on draft day. Michael Floyd is actually a possibility, and I'm hearing rumors, while unlikely, about a possible trade up to snag RGIII.

DeCastro would have been my pick if Barron was gone, we need a starting guard.

Good pick Jimmy. The real concern with Keuchly before the combine was his speed. After the 4.58 40 he seems like a perfect fit.

nin05 seems to have gone AWOL. First member who doesnt already have a team may submit a pick for him. It's a pick for the Arizona Cardinals.

Didn't go AWOL. Was trying to post all day but kept getting server errors. FWIW, was going to take David DeCastro.

Chiefs just drafted Johnathon Baldwin out of Pitt and are about to franchise Dwayne Bowe, there is no chance of Floyd going to KC. Pick didn't make to much sense.

I think you need at least 3 quality WR's to have a potent offense so I wouldn't put it past KC here.

Jets are on the Clock

With the 16th pick, the Jets select Nick Perry.

Jets need a pass rush badly.

You have DeCastro rated higher than Reiff? They are both really good, but from all I read I think Reiff has a slightly higher grade. But DeCastro will be a very solid Pro. Also DeCastro is an OG while Reiff is an OT, so team needs may dictate one over the other.

Since none of the 3 picks after your slot were looking OLine, I'm gonna make the switch. As far as DeCastro goes ESPN already said he may end up in the HOF. Jump the gun much?

Great value pick. Kid is a Top 10 talent on many mocks and I think he'll be great. And I know Andy Dalton is very happy with this selection.

I highly doubt he's available at 17. He would add a ton of versatility to the offensive line. They could move Andre to one of the guard postions or even start Riley out at guard.

With The 18th pick the Chargers select Dont'a Hightower of Alabama. The Chargers need help throughout their linebackers and Dont'a provides versatility to play ILB or OLB in their 3-4.

Kind of high for Hightower IMO...I thought you would go with Poe with this pick. Chargers would be ecstatic if he was available at 18

I went on a bunch of Chargers forums to see who they thought they would get. They said they need a pass rushing OLB for their 3-4. I was planning on taking Nick Perry but he just got taken. I figured i'd take the next best option at OLB. Looking back maybe I should have chose Zach Brown.

a lot of needs for the bears: CB, WR, S, LB

with that in mind i'll take the best player available in those positions. Janoris Jenkins, CB North Alabama. with jennings possibly not returning we'll need a lockdown corner. would love to see floyd fall here. wright's combine results scare me and jeffery isn't worthy of a #19 pick so i'll stay away from him. i'd say go after a stud WR in free agency if floyd's not available, which he won't be. was begging for kuechley to fall here.

Really hard to pick between Jenkins and Kirkpatrick if they are both there for you. Wont argue with taking Jenkins here. But those additional 4 inches of height on Kirkpatrick make him tough to pass on at this point.
