Topic: NFL Draft

Starting soonish anyone else going to watch?

I usually don't watch the draft, I just check the picks that happened every half hour or so online.

The whole CBA stuff has kinda put damper on things but still going to watch.

Cam Newton is number 1. I think he'll be good.

Kinda surprised Denver took Von Miller not that he won't be a great player but I think he would have been better in a 3-4.

I can't believe the falcons gave up a 1st and 4th round in pick in 2011 and 2012 for one first round pick. even if it is 6th pick.

Yep way to much to give up all those draft picks plus top 10 money for one guy.

Nice pick by Det their DL should be nasty.

I don't think I will ever understand the Patriots draft picks...I guess they needed another offensive tackle with Matt Light becoming a free agent, but I still don't get it. I think that if your defense makes Mark Sanchez look good, you need a much better defense.

I have a mixed reaction on what my Chiefs did. I like trading down and getting another 3rd but feel Jonathan Baldwin is some what a reach.

The Vikings first pick with Ponder is very questionable to me despite being a Packer fan. The Vikings need a QB, but Ponder was a huge reach.

The draft is deep in Quarterbacks for the first couple rounds and the Vikings have problems with their offensive line in terms of passing block and age. The Vikings have a bad mix right now with Ponder's injury history and an offensive line that pass blocked poorly last year,

The other problem the Vikings had doing into the draft is they have a need at defensive tackle. Pat Williams of the Williams well is no longer with the Vikings and Nick Fairley could have been a great replacement.

Vikes need a QB? Psh Seahawks need one desperately yet have yet to draft one. Whitehurst is not the answer at all in Seattle.

I love the NFL Draft. It's such good background noise~

I love NFL, but I never pay attention to college sports, so I don't know who's good. Thus, the draft is pretty pointless to me. Although I hear Randall Cobb is really good, and my team (Packers) just picked him up.

What in the world are the Pats doing? The last thing they needed was another running back and another quarterback. What are they planning?

Drafting for the future I guess?

I think the Chiefs are having a underrated draft. Maybe not the most flashy but filling needs with guys that should fit their systems on both sides of the ball.

[quote=vaynard]Vikes need a QB? /quote]

Yep, the Vikings needed one before they drafted Christian Ponder with the 12 pick of the NFL draft. At the same time, they had some Offensive line issues based on what I saw.

Brett Favre is retired and he played old when was on the field last year. All the Vikes had at QB before the draft was Webb, and Tarvaris Jackson.

The Vikings got Brett in 2009 because Tarvaris Jackson wasn't the answer at the QB position as a starter.
