Saints hate DE's in drafts. I don't get it.

Ravens with all their holes on the offensive draft 4 straight defensive players. Not sure I understand what Ozzie is doing.

The other half feels even though the incident happened over three years ago it's pretty disturbing and something that will stick with him forever. Not a great role model for young fans.

Absolutely stoked that the Eagles got Jones in the second round. Really not concerned about the injury at all. I don't really know about Rasul Douglas but that defense has a chance to be top 10 this year if they can stay healthy.

Graham-Cox-Jernigan-Long/Curry/Barnett is going to be a nightmare for offensive lines.

loved the Watt pick in round 1, but hate the rest of the Steelers draft so far. Would be nice if they for once had the guts to trade up a few spots ... seeing Obi being picked 5 spots ahead of them really sucks, and wasting a 2nd rounder on yet another receiver blows too. Also thought there were better corners available in round 3 than Sutton (Tankersley, Douglas) and Conner feels like a reach too. Oh well. At least they didn't draft a ####ty QB.

The Texans have plugged some huge holes with their first 3 picks. Cunningham dropping to us in the 2nd was a real surprise. Still a lot of work to do on the Oline though, especially with no picks in the first 2 rounds next year.

Packers have some real good players to choose from with the 1st pick today...they have gone exclusively defense thus far, and rightly so, but i think its time to look at either a RB or OL.

Dorian Johnson out of Pitt (awesome run blocker who helped make James Conners career) or RB Samaje Perine out of OK.

That being said, Ted Thompson always surprises...and wouldnt be shocked to him grab WR Chad Hansen out of Cal. Comparisons to Jordy Nelson and being from Aaron Rodgers alma mater don't hurt his stock either.


OR


Just draft entirely from the defensive side of the ball i guess.

Ugh.

Michigan tight end Jake Butt has slipped to at least the fourth round, but he won't go without getting paid back for the fall.

Butt, who tore his ACL in the Orange Bowl against Florida State, has a $2 million loss-of-value policy that he started collecting insurance on when he wasn't picked in the top half of the third round Friday night.

He first started collecting, at $10,000 a pick, in the middle of the third round, a source with knowledge of the policy with ISI told ESPN. By the end of Friday night's third round, the policy had covered about $150,000.
Good for him...smart kid obviously.

Wouldn't you do this before the draft?

Definitely something he will spend his entire life having to live down.

From a purely football standpoint, he's special. I think it is a steal as well.

Not sure about the Denver draft yet. Bolles or Ramcszyk were my 1st round hopes so happy there. They were clearly trying to move up to get McCaffrey. When that didn't work, I thought they might go Mixon in the 2nd...and I wanted them to. Like the Demarcus Walker pick and of course, grabbing Butt in the 5th could be the steal of the draft. Beyond that, nothing stands out to me although the CB from Lamar is intriguing as a project.

Why do I feel like the QB situation in Denver is going to mirror the 2015-16 goalie situation in Calgary?

excellent article by Peter King, who was in the 49ers war room during the draft.

I think they had the best draft of the AFC West teams but I agree with you about the QB situation.
