Something tells me Kiper would willing gag on a certain Cleveland Browns rookie 5th rounder.

Kiper takes $$ from agents

I like the look of this draft but I feel like I say that all the time for us. Unfortunately due to the bad Fitt drafts and last years draft we absolutely must have 3 solid nfl contributors at minimum here. If we get that then the franchise can take a step forward and be competitive.

I wonder what the trade back offers were? It would be interesting to put together a draft using those picks.  I did not think we would ever get a chance at Mike Green in the second or that we would pass him up for Scourton.  Princely in the third was great value but was it wise to take two edges at that point (probably, he is a really great value there)? I still see Tet as another big body that can't get separation, but i was encouraged by the fact that Bryce and him worked out together in California and have a rapport.  If the 49ers and Rams really wanted him too, i am probably wrong on his potential.  I was really expecting another turd class like last year and this one is much, much better at first blush. It could be a great draft class...only time will tell at this point.

Thought it was a great draft overall. Only thing I probably would have preferred was Billy Bowman and Malachi Moore in the 4th. Wanted Tez, but Horn is a similar receiver type so good with it if they think he's a better fit.

Looking at Scourtons tape he reminds me so much of Rucker

I was thinking Charles Johnson.

He's a good feeney spin move that I never remember big money having. Plus I had forgotten that Charles is Panthers all-time sack leader.

I havnt got a read on nic, he's awful young and talented. He talks about effort and wants to stop the run. I need to see him in live action, then maybe its nickname or former panther name time for me.

Crazy, Steve Smith just said on his draft recap that talking to coaches on the team.. that T-Mac was a surprise to them because the talk earlier that day was defense first and not T-Mac.

That's the other sneaky thing we did during the pre draft, There were articles saying that we were the most aggressive team looking to trad back and yet we turned down 2 offers that didn't have us moving down that far, Especially the SF one so much like who are pick would be at 8 but we also had little intention if any really at all of trading down but we didn't want anyone to know we were really high on any player so no one tried to jump ahead of us, If the Niners and Rams knew we were going to draft Tmac they might have tried to jump in front of us for him instead of trading with us for him. By the time they realized he was our guy it was too late. Dan and Dave played the first round super smooth. Nobody knew what we wanted to do and the teams that wanted Tmac paid the price.  That's high level draft work there.

I thought he said other teams thought we were going defense and that's why Dallas thought they were going to get him at 12.  He did say they had a bad interview with him

No, he says I spoke to the coaches that morning and they went whoa that's not what we talked about earlier. 

 

Probably explains all the smokescreens.
