2012 NFL Draft Thread

[mgriff]

Well the day is upon us and I figured this thread could save the mods some work. Kindly put your discussions for the upcoming draft days in here.

As a Dolphins fan, I'm praying that we don't take Tannehill. I honestly don't give a **** what hole they fill with the number eight pick (ideally I'd like them to trade back and build some picks) so long as it isn't the QB from Texas A&M. Floyd would be great but I'm not sure his route running is good enough. If Blackmon fell you'd have to grab him at eight.

The draft really starts at #3 with Minnesota, and most people are pretty confident Kalil will be going there. It makes perfect sense since they need to protect their Ponder reach. I always love Mayock but I can't really get on board with his mock this year. 2012 NFL Mock Drafts : Mike Mayock's 2012 NFL mock draft The Browns taking Blackmon is a great strategy, but some of the other picks I'm not really feeling. The man knows more and I value his opinion greatly, but I just can't see some of this happening. He's the expert though, so I'll take my leave.

I hope all of your teams don't make dumbass moves like the Dolphins and wind up stuck in mediocrity for years.

For first rd picks in the last 18 years I'm going with 4:

Ronaldo Wynn
Luke luke petitgout
Jeff Faine
Bracdy Quinn

This is from the top of my head...let me know if I'm correct.

BTW I think Mayock's mock is pretty good. The dude always predicts better than Kiper, McShay and company.

Nice thanks! I can name the teams also.

Wynn to the Jags
luke petitgout to the giants
Faine to the browns
Quinn to the browns

[rtrn2glory]

[GoldenIsThyFame]

Ok some hints:

1. Think playwright.
2. USC is #1
3. 4 is the correct number (and Sherm guessed them all correct)
4. More than 5

 

[GoldenIsThyFame]

Pretty crazy.

@slmandel: No first round picks expected tonight from Florida, FSU, Miami or Texas. Would be first time since 1976.

1. BILLY SHAKESPHEARE!!!!!!! Holy crap. It hit as soon as you said that! LOL. He was a QB?

Berwanger was the first PLAYER chosen in NFL draft history!

My bad

 

[NDPhilly]

I think the Eagles are gonna trade up and get Fletcher Cox. If Not then at 15 probably Poe or Brockers.

 

[Grahambo]

Giants I think are going OL. Maybe DL if they trade Osi.

What? No love for the Bill Shakespheare call??

 

[Sherm Sticky]

Browns move up to the 3rd pick.

 

[NDPhilly]

Going to take Richardson.

 

[HereComeTheIrish]

Peter King reporting it's Justin Blackmon... What a douche. we could have had him right where we were.... lol

Peter King is such a moron!

 

[STLDomer]

Browns are idiots. Give up 3 draft picks to move past a team that wasn't going to take the player they want

Not really...Tampa was just about to jump ahead of them, but the browns sweetened the deal to assure the Richardson pick.

Huh? What rock have you been living under? Teams have been rumored all week trying to move up to get Trent....
