2011 NFL Draft Thread

[Auggie]

Well, I love that it started with the crowd chanting, "We want football!"

[JonLP24]

1. Could you tell me who the Cardinals pick?

#5? Please. :)

[Auggie]

2. You got it

[JonLP24]

3. Thanks

I realized after I posted I probably could find out when it happens online. I didn't think about that at the time and don't have cable. I would appreciate you telling me but I don't want you to do something you don't necessary feel like doing.

[Upton]

4. I just hope the 49ers don't pick Gabbert..

a lot of the mock drafts have it that way too..

[Auggie]

6. I've also heard CBs Patrick Peterson or Prince Amukamara...

Nate Clements played terrible last season. Consider the possibility that Harbaugh has identified a real coachable sleeper at QB in the lower rounds.

[Upton]

7. I'd love Peterson

but odds are he's going to be gone....I like Prince Amakumara. They can get a QB later..

[Renew Deal]

40. Giants took Prince Amukamara

I guess they like players with long last names.

[KamaAina]

46. Niners got Kaepernick

an outstanding talent possibly overlooked by most since Nevada rarely gets on the toob, especially back East..

[GomezLives]

5. Check their teeth - Teeth are important

[GomezLives]

8. Cam Newton is going to Carolina - Just saw him High Fiving

[GomezLives]

9. GOODELL IS GETTING BOOED

[Auggie]

10. Carolina takes Cam Newton

[GomezLives]

11. He'll be a bust

[Auggie]

12. Denver takes Von Miller, LB, #2 pick

[JonLP24]

13. Good pick I think

Denver definitely was going to go with defense with this pick.

[GomezLives]

14. The same teams seem to suck every year

Like Buffalo

[Auggie]

15. Buffalo takes Marcell Dareus, DT, at #3

[GomezLives]

16. Bungles pick AJ Green

[Auggie]

17. Cincinnati takes A.J. Green, WR, at #4

I never undersood taking a WR this high up, but then, wtf do I know...?

[JonLP24]

19. He is terrific receiver

I seen him in quite a few games. He also dominated my Devils who had one of the top defenses in the top 10 in '09. I think he is worth it IMO.

[Auggie]

21. I've always believed receivers need a good supporting cast

in order to really shine.

[JonLP24]

24. Depending on the receiver

The elite ones can score on one play, catch over a defender, catch almost all passes, keep feet in-bounds etc. Like a Fitzgerald who was picked 3rd, I believe Andre Johnson was as well. Not saying AJ Green is going to be elite, but he is clearly the best receiver available.

I agree it helps to have a supporting cast, I think it depends on needs for the team at the time and best player available.

[Auggie]

18. Arizona selects Patrick Peterson, CB, #5

Dang

[JonLP24]

20. Yes!

Rogers-Cromartie and Patrick Peterson. About time they get a solid #2 and in this case, Rogers-Cromartie could very well be the #2 if Peterson turns out to be worth the #5 pick.

[Auggie]

22. Atlanta (in trade with Cleveland) selects Julio Jones, WR, #6

[GomezLives]

23. Falcons gave up way too much 1,2,4 2011 1,4 2012

[Auggie]

25. San Francisco selects Aldon Smith, DE, #7

Pass rusher is high on the needs list

[Upton]

29. Don't know much about this guy..

but rushing the passer seems to be his strong suit..

http://49ersnews.com/2011/04/the-49ers-select-missouri-de-aldon-smith-at-no-7/

I would have preferred Nakamura..but at least it's not Gabbert

[GomezLives]

26. Plaxico gets out in June

[Auggie]

27. Tennesee selects Jake Locker, QB, #8

[GomezLives]

28. A reach

[Auggie]

30. Dallas selects Tyron Smith, Tackle, #9

[GomezLives]

31. Jagoffs to take Gabbert

[Auggie]

32. Redskins traded their pick...

they got another #2.

[JonLP24]

33. Christian Ponder - Minnesota

I'm unfamiliar with him as I seen hardly any Florida State games.

[OmahaBlueDog]

34. Detroit may be putting together the most fearsome defense in football

They just drafted Nick Fairly to put next to Suh

[Awsi Dooger]

42. Suh and Fairley together will be fascinating

Best story of the draft, IMO

Fairley has some weaknesses but they'll be minimized with so many teams forced to double team Suh

[El Supremo]

35. Just how many of these first-rounders will be arrested in the future?

The NFL sucks.

[Auggie]

36. They can't all be St. Tebows

[El Supremo]

37. Tebow will be accused someday of paying for an abortion.

For his gay lover.

[joeybee12]

39. Paying for it with the money he gets from Jockey...nt

[givemebackmycountry]

41. Hey! Hey! HEY!

That abortion paying for his gay lover guy is my QB!
I'm a Broncos fan!
GIVE me a break please!

[Condem]

38. Adrian Clayborn #20.

Tampa Bay. He should of gone last year but he's a good kid. Well done, Adrian.

[JonLP24]

43. Round 2: Pick 3(35 Overall) - Cincinnati - Andy Dalton - QB - TCU

[Upton]

44. 49ers get their QB at #36...Colin Kaepernick-Nev

Trading up with the Broncos..giving Denver a 4,5 and an exchange of 2nd round picks..

[Auggie]

45. Wonder who they coveted more...

Dalton or Kaepernick?

[Awsi Dooger]

47. Trying to justify a separate day for rounds 2 and 3 is a reach

Snoozer all the way around. It finally livened up when Todd McShay joined ESPN's coverage for round 3. After hearing nothing but praise for every pick for two days on ESPN and NFL Network, McShay within minutes described someone as, "mediocre at best."

I'll never understand the praise for Mike Mayock. His style never varies, a rambling, "Tape...tape...tape...kid...tape...kid...tape...tape....kid."

Mayock will rattle off 4 names for every pick and twist it to self praise no matter who is chosen. He'll say me mentioned off air that Oakland might take that guy. Or he'll claim a correct call in a production meeting a month ago.
