Computers don't lie. Did I mention the Vikings suck?

The cowboys get the dumbest pick of the night award.

All around, this draft sucked, right? I mean, easily the most boring draft, and the #1 pick wasn't appreciably better than the #32 pick to my eye. The best two college players didn't get picked (Te'o and Lacy). Just all around, huge waste of time.

Te'o wasn't going in the first round, not a big surprise. He should do well wherever he ends up, but if OL play hadn't been so bad last year in the NFL then maybe he'd be taken sooner. Lots of big guys in the first round this year.

Was a good pock by them. Their O-line is horrible and they just re-upped their QB for big money.

What in the heck are the Vikings doing? They were about to build something really special on defense and they blew it. I mean they paid 4 picks for Patterson. Really shock that Baltimore passed on Manti as well. Oh well, Somebody is getting a steal tomorrow.

Jarvis Jones ran a 4.9 as a freaking OLB. If I had to say what hurt him, I'd say the crazy amount of media attention on him. Tebow has helped teams realize that sometimes press can be bad, and sometimes it can be suffocating.

Perhaps, in the grand scheme of things it won't matter. You can bet that Te'o will come in with a chip on his shoulder and do well. I loved what Gruden said at one point about how he was glad to finally see a guy rewarded on plays he actually made during the season and not his 40 time... He was talking about Jarvis Jones. That was a steal if you ask me.

Does Manti team up with Tyler in Cincinnati? The Bengals pick 5th in the 2nd round and I don't see the 4 teams ahead of them (Jaguars, 49ers, Eagles or Lions) taking him.

Vikings fan here....Night full of emotions with the Manti angle. Kind of depressed about it, but its sports. After the championship game i've decided to just enjoy the process. Here's to Patterson, hopefully you become the next Randy Moss!

He fell from being a top 2 or 3 pick to 17.

What about Jarvis Jones' 40 time?? And pretty sure Bama ran all over him and Georgia as well. It just doesnt make sense to me

Completely stunned he fell out of the first round.
I mean you don't finish 2nd in heisman as a defensive player, win the maxwell Campbell, bednarik awards on accident..kid is a gamer. He's gonna ball. Book it.

Anyone who paid attention to the draft before the last few weeks knows how far Jarvis Jones fell.

Jarvis Jones was a sack machine in the SEC that forced a crap load of fumbles and had 25 tackles for loss...
Dude had an incredibly productive year in the best conference in college football.

Against Bama:
Jones- 6 tackles, 3 for loss, 2 sacks, 1 forced fumble.
Teo- 10 tackles
Jones is a stud

And so is Manti. No one is saying Jones doesn't deserve the reward of a first round pick.

Charlie Ward won a bunch awards too.....Just sayin
And because I'm giving Jones props, doesn't mean I think any less of Manti. I'm just pointing out that it's not like Jones wasn't productive
And let's be honest....Manti had a better "feel good" story than Jones and you could say that had the media known that Manti's girlfriend story was fake (even though it wasn't his fault) he may not have won that many awards

Some of you guys are hilarious. I didn't say Manti wasn't a great player. LOL
