DRAFT DAY DISCUSSION The Official Round 1 2013 NFL Draft Thread

[English Patriot]

I'm biased, but I think Elam is better than both of 'em.

I'd take Elam

 

[BradyBranch39]

Some guys available I didn't think would be at this point: Rhodes, Carradine, Datone Jones, Eifert.

LMAO at the mocks that had Eifert in the top 9.

 

[Kontradiction]

Things are looking nice for us. Plenty of options.

Things are looking good for a trade down.

I kinda thought the Giants would go o-line. Their o-line was horrible last year.

Smart kid, Pugh is from my area and supposedly a good kid. And it's close enough for his parents to drive to NYG games....

Bears could help their offense immensely with Eifert here.

Word is..... The Patriots do too

Te'o is literally the biggest mystery in the draft he could go either way on the pro level. Good or bad is the question?

 

[Huckleberry1]

Has Mayock ever see a pick that he doesn't like?

I think Mayock is pretty straightforward about the players but on Draft Night he can't slam them. He's been pretty accurate about this draft as it unfolding imo, Pugh was a really good call.

 

[fair catch fryar]

I know it's a long shot, but nothing would make me happier in this draft than to see Manti Te'o drop out of the 1st round and have to wait until the 2nd round and hear all the negative media attention about him for the next 24 hours.

Seriously. I keep thinking about looking back on this in a few years and seeing all the busts. There must be people he doesn't like. The worst he has said is that Ansah will be a Pro Bowler or out of the league in 3 years.

everyone here is expecting the trade down right? It's the pats...everyone has to know this..i hope

Hopefully he goes soon because it just pushes one of the Patriots prospects down the board.

 

[VJCPatriot]

Well there goes the theory that Giants never select OLine in the 1st round.

Coughlin understands this better than a lot of people. You win in the trenches.

Apparently he hasn't heard of trading back though. Both Manuel and Pugh have been reaches according to most prospect grades. I doubt taking a guard this early is a good idea going strictly by draft value, but they were probably scared he wouldn't last to round 2 because the top two guards went early in Cooper and Warmack. I think a number of teams reached for the OG position in this year's draft.

 

[Patriot Missile]

I'm thinking either the Vikings or Pats are gonna be the team to make the trade that gets Geno Smith or Matt Barkley in the first round.

Taking Buffalo out of the equation. Maybe Cleveland? If I'm those other teams I'm staying pat though.

 

[dales804]

I have Te'o going to CHI. Why is she in Hawaii if she's not live with Manti?

 

[fair catch fryar]

Something about Alex Flanagan makes me go "mmmmmmmm".

Lol that's awesome.

He means taking them back to our locker room after he's washed all the gronk spike dirt off them.

Unless they reach, it's perfect for a trade down. Two very good safeties and the two (supposedly) best WR's are on the board.
