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?

Very good player. Whether he is the pass rusher you need or not i'm not sure. (I'm sure you all thoguht Gholston was!) but i suspect he is given IIRC he has already got experience of the 34. Probably went right about where he should, anywhere between 20-30 range.

Jake Locker - I never saw that coming at all. I'll take it though as we need a QB.

I was expecting the Bears to pick someone for the o-line as we need to keep Cutler on his feet more.They should go for a WR next to give him more to throw to.

Sounds like Reggie Bush will be gone from New Orleans sooner rather than later, I think I'm right in saying Pierre Thomas has just recently signed a new 3/4 year deal and with Chris Ivory and now Mark Ingram (and maybe more I'm forgetting) surely his big contract just isn't worth it anymore?

He has been a good player IMO and was a big part in their SB win but was never gonna live up to his big contract the way he was used!

You doing the full night of the draft again tonight? Bush will land somewhere else but will have to take a hefty pay cut.

I'd take him at Miami with Brown probably leaving at some point.

We could do with a playmaker in the back field, or anywhere!

The Redskins could take him as Snyder likes his big name players and they need a rb with Portis released.

Welcome to GB Reggie!

There were strong rumours we wanted to trade for him when Grant went down. Assuming he'd want a reasonable salary he'd complete our backfield.

Grant- All around back.
Starks- All around back. (young guy to eventually replace Grant)
Reggie- Pass catcher.
KUUUUUUHHHHHHHNNNNNNN- short yardage.

That's frightening...and shouldn't be allowed!

In all serious the way New England and Green Bay have built their franchises and teams deserves tremendous credit. Having the best teams and still a boat of draft picks and trade options must take some doing.

Doubt it to be honest, gonna watch as much as I can before I fall asleep, gotta be up at 8 and I'm knackered already so not looking good

I know we will trade down from the 1st pick of the day(too many people want it and BB loves extra picks as everyone knows) but hope we will start getting some of the positions filled that we need and with any luck I may see us pick a player before I nod off(hopefully D.Bowers)
