I like a lot of what the Vikings did, but that Patterson pick isn't something I can get on board with. A 2nd, 3rd, 4th and 7th for a guy that raw and immature? No thanks. The Jets' draft also stuck out to me in a bad way.

I liked the 9ers', Ravens', Eagles', Dolphins', Rams' and Packers' drafts.

The Rams really improved their roster to me.

Pick Player

1.8 Tavon Austin, WR, West Virginia

1.30 Alec Ogletree, ILB, Georgia

3.9 T.J. McDonald, FS, USC

3.30 Stedman Bailey, WR, West Virginia

4.16 Barrett Jones, OG, Alabama

5.16 Brandon McGee, CB, Miami

5.27 Zac Stacy, RB, Vanderbilt

TJ McDonald is a bit of a reach but getting Tavon and Bailey really improves the WR core for Bradford. Adding the versitile Jones and super lber Ogletree knocks it out the park to me.

This was a team really deprived of a lot of talent and with one draft really improved dramatically. I would guess that they will reap the full rewards next season but Bailey is a very polished WR with Austin doing what he will do.

They will be more fun to watch at least.

    • I think the last time I watched the Pro Bowl was that year Sean Taylor blew up that poor punter. LOL
    • I don’t go back and look at the espn but there live it definitely said 1 shot 1 goal when it happened. I guess they had not added them yet. Still allowing goals that early is rough. Blue line is a total disaster still. Even with Slavin back. Miller and Nikishin keep making mistakes after mistakes. 
    • I generally disagree with the concept of picking a position because of value early in the draft. For instance, if there's a really good safety, RB or ILB at pick 10, I'm choosing him over a project WR or DE. Better players make the team better. A bunch of ok players will give you an ok team. The number 1 goal of the draft should be to improve the overall talent on the team. Not to fill positions of need.  Deciding beforehand that you're picking a LT in the first or second round because Ickey went down is not the way to improve the team. Now if Dan has similar grades on 2 or 3 players and one happens to be a LT, then yeah go for it. But don't pass on your guy at ILB because you have a gap at LT or need to improve the pass rush with a DE. When those guys don't pan out then you haven't improved your team. But that LB could have been a franchise cornerstone for years to come. See Luke Kuechly and Christian McCaffrey.
