Looking forward to seeing Quinn and Long playing at opposite ends next season. Still kind of disappointed that we didn't managed to take a 1st round receiver or defensive tackle though.

I'm sure before last year that Quinn was being touted as a potential number 1 overall.

Spags will have fun with that pair.

Alright. I was cringing at the Packers fans with wrestling belts. Sad basstards. Have you got one?

I'm told this Prince should have gone higher. I'm guessing to cope with Jackson, Maclin, Bryant and Austin.We're not that bad at CB but we always take best available. I can see the Bucs struggling next year on defence with no decent CB to cover White, Jones, Colston etc. The NFC North might be the strongest in the NFL. I loved the Ingram to the Saints and the Patriots worked their usual magic.

New york now has it's Prince with african roots.

I didn't see that but I assume you mean Wrestling belts, Like A-Rod's celebration? No I don't have one!

My view on the draft:

Firstly I'm pleased with Derek Sherrod. Keeping A-Rod up is the number 1 thing we need to do. I imagine he'll slot into LG this year (as Colledge is OOC) and then maybe go to LT/RT depending on Bulaga. Really pleased we've managed to get our bookends and a pretty good line to protect Rodgers for the next 10 years.

You've got an awesome CB in Prince Amukamara. He is exceptional. He's probably hindered abit that Peterson was just such a great prospect but Prince will be excellent for you.

Good draft for the North. The Lions get Fairley (who I thought would drop) to pair with Suh. That is an excellent front 2. The Vikes get Ponder who i'm a huge fan of and IMO he will be the best QB of this class. I'm gutted that one of my favourite players has gone to them! As for the Bears, they are irrelevent.

I'd love us to trade up in this round to get a OLB. I doubt they will be around when we pick. I'd like Brooks Reed or Akem Ayers.

Best Value = Prince to the Giants

Worst Value = Locker (even more so passing on Gabbert)

Happy with Sherrod for the Pack (was hoping Carimi would fall if im honnest)

Atalana gave up TOO MUCH for Jones but he is a great reciever.

Where will Bowers go?

Re: The All new NFL Chat thread including playoff talk : Fri Apr 29, 2011 10:32 am  

We have the first pick in the 2nd round plus 2 others after the Saints trade so hopefully we will nab Bowers somewhere, I can see a lot of teams wanting our first pick so bet we trade it for another boat load of picks

I wanted Ingram but thinking about it the trade with the Saints only moved us down a few spots and we got their 1st rounder next year aswell so it's a pretty smart move

Had a sleep to think about the Falcons trade and I still think it's

Re: The All new NFL Chat thread including playoff talk : Fri Apr 29, 2011 11:08 am  

I think as good as Julio Jones is it is a terrible trade. They gave up way too much and they aren't so good that they can afford to essentially give up on two drafts to get one player.

They still have an ordinary D (as we showed when we destroyed them) so IMO they'd have been better going defence, or even getting someone like Jon Baldwin (already gone) or Leanord Hankerson where they already were.

Exactly what I said last night. They're not anywhere near as good ad they think they are

As I know absolutely bugger all about the college game I will ask the more knowledgeable chaps on here - Muhammad Wilkerson for the Jets. Decent pick or not? The staff and a lot of the fans seem relatively happy with the pick and didn't expect him to fall so low. Is he the kind of pass rusher we desperately need or not?
