Official NFL Draft Thread

Kerrigan is not a bad pick. Pats have a huge need at DL/OLB and he's one of the guys that was brought up pretty often. But Prince is available and the Pats are on the clock. I cannot believe the fortune for my team. Bill Belichick, do the right thing.

Why the heck did the Vikings pick Ponder? I wouldn't have expected him to go even in the 2nd Round. Soooo many better QB's than him.

 

They signed Brett Favre, they don't know what a QB is.

 

When they did sign Brett Favre, he actually had the best season of his already tremendous career his first year with the Vikings. So they know what a good QB is, but I guess they just didn't want to get one this draft.

 

The Vikings really do need a QB now bc Tavaris Jackson is really not a good throwing QB at all. I still really didn't think Ponder would go this early and seemed like a reach.

Wasn't Big Ben a reach when the Steelers took him? Just throwing some hope to the Viking fans.

17th pick the New England Patriots select Nate Solder/OT Colorado

Not surprised by the Pats pick. They need some OL on that team.

I wanted to see Prince go to the Pats so bad. I suppose they do have Bodden/McCourty/Butler, but come on. Prince!

Fuzzy, end this for me, Where is Prince going?

[strigori]

The Lions already have a loaded defensive line and a terrible secondary. I do NOT understand that pick.

They are probably using the philosophy that you take the best player available regardless of need. Many of the best GMs do this.

 

That should be a scary d-line. And sometimes an amazing d-line is better than an ok secondary. Just look at when the Giants won the superbowl.

This has by far been one of the weirdest drafts ever.

This is unbelievable. A future top tier NFL cornerback is still on the market and no one wants all of that talent. This is really confusing the hell out of me.

I hear ya. I wouldn't be surprised if Henery gets taken in the first round by the Steelers.

[krc1995]

Am I missing something, are teams not needing CBs or does Prince have some question marks surrounding him?

[Fuzzy]

I don't see Prince getting taken by a team that needs a CB until either the Giants, Eagles, Seahawks or Ravens.

[krc1995]

Well i guess he's not going in the next pick either

Yea. I had another post after that and said that they weren't expecting him there and with Fairly projected as a top 5 pick by a lot of people and still having him there, they had to take him.

SEC: 5 of first 6, 7 of first 17. Just sayin...
