New York Jets - Vernon Gholston, DE Ohio State
Jets made the smart move here taking Gholston, who fits their defensive scheme. It will be interesting if they stand him up and rush him or have him down on the line all the time.
New Orleans Saints - Sedrick Ellis, DT USC (after trade with New England)
The Saints desperately needed to upgrade their defense, especially their d-line. They wanted Dorsey, but moved up and took Ellis instead.
Jacksonville Jaguars - DE Derrick Harvey, Florida
The Jaguars REALLY wanted Derrick Harvey. They get a guy who can come in and immediately rush the passer, something the Jags defense was not good at in 2007 (or really, ever).
Cincinnati Bengals - Keith Rivers, LB FloridaBengals get a LBer that fits their scheme. They need more d-line help, but the bottom line is they also need LBers who can tackle (and not get arrested).
New England Patriots - Jarod Mayo, LB Miami
They reached for this guy, but the Patriots needed LBer help and got it.
This is another open thread

Smart
It’s a good move by Baltimore. Lots of trades this year.

Trading
I like the trades of picks, I just don’t like the trades of players during the draft. Glad we haven’t seen any of that. I don’t like it when they pick a player because they know another team wants that player, and are willing to trade him.
Trades
They really think the trades reflect how deep the draft is this year.

I thought the Lions made their first smart move under Millen with that trade,
then they go and take Cherilus. Could’ve done better.
And the Panthers sell their soul
For Jeff “Under 10 Wonderlic” Otah? That just smells to me.

Biggest reach so far?
Mayo? Flacco? Who?

Flacco/Ryan
Brohm is the best in the QB class and he’s still on the board in the 20s
Mayo went early but he’s really good and was underrated.

Flacco
I don’t see the next several teams needing a QB. They could have gotten him later, and cheaper.
Wow
Another trade. Redskins trade with Falcons.

Nope Sam Baker
Protection instead, looks like there is some brains in the Falcons head office nowadays…

Mendenhall dropping this far
has me encouraged. I can’t say more because I get really superstitious about football.

Willie Parker (and Big Ben) wasn't going to survive
another season with the workload the put on him.
Parker was on his way to curse of 370 land before his leg snapped in half
and Big Ben was getting punished on all the 3rd and longs that Parker leaves them in since he’s so boom-and-bust.

unbelievable
sad the colts wont have a shot at him but pretty poor pick by the titans (not surprising) which makes me happy
should have known
Someone was going to lose it over him.
Now I hope this doesn’t start a run on RBs
I’ve been ready to settle for Forte for a while
my blog http://shakennbaken.blogspot.com
I guess they thought...
That he would wind up in division with someone, so they had to reach to make sure it was them.

Titans
Have no WRs, no DEs, and no Safeties… yet take a RB. Makes no sense.

I wouldn't have suspected the Titans
Don’t they have a big play back/KR or did Darrell Reid break him

Titans Have a Colts fetish
They take our players in free agency, and now they’ve stolen our draft board.

It's over
I took down the CJ picture from my blog, I’d put some else up, but again too superstitious

Still about CJ
If you take in the 1st round a guy that’s projected to be around in the LATE 2nd round, that means you’re a pretty lousy GM, right?
Walk on, walk on With hope in your heart And you'll never walk alone You'll never walk alone
You would think...
Not only is that basically a waste of a pick, since they probably could have picked him up later in the second but now they’re also gonna end up paying him way more than they would have as a second rounder.
Of course part of my hating on this pick is because the Colts no longer have a shot at him but that’s besides the point…just a terrible, terrible pick.
amazing
At pick #27, still no WRs taken.

wr's
teams have learned that drafting first round wide recivers is a crapshoot.

This year's class of WR
Is really that weak, or are the OL, CB and RB too deep?

A lot of DEs are on the board
Mostly ones I don’t like, but they should help protect the ones I do.
my blog http://shakennbaken.blogspot.com
Anyone with a mock submitted
have a count of their correct picks going.
I haven’t got one right since the Bengals at #9
my blog http://shakennbaken.blogspot.com
I've noticed
that both in the mock draft and now, we think that it was a stupid pick for anyone other than us to pick Johnson. However, I do agree that this was a bit early.
Way too early
Chris Johnson is 2nd round talent, not 1st. The Titans are now completely stacked at RB and they still have no one to throw or catch the ball.
Do you guys feel that there is any chance
That the Colts would trade up?
Walk on, walk on With hope in your heart And you'll never walk alone You'll never walk alone
Possibly...
I hope so, the anticipation is killing me. I wouldn’t expect it, but I wouldn’t be surprised at all to see it.
For who?
Laws?
Forte?
The Colts don’t tip their hands so I really don’t have any idea. They showed with Ugoh that they’ll make a move if a guy they really want drops, but who knows who they love.

Wow
Seattle did not take LAws.

I think
We might not see a WR in the first round now. That is amazing. Devin Thomas might go #33 overall to the Rams, #34 to the Falcons, or who knows?

Well, the Jets will likely that the QB, right?
Walk on, walk on With hope in your heart And you'll never walk alone You'll never walk alone
That didn't make sense
I meant the Jets will likely TAKE the QB.

There you go
The Jets take a TE.
Walk on, walk on With hope in your heart And you'll never walk alone You'll never walk alone
What will the Giants take?
They’re pretty solid. I can’t remember any big needs for them.
