Patriots. yeah they're my favourite team, but before you call me a homer, don't forget I was bashing the ? out of their draft last year and saying it sucked. This year they got two of the best defensive players in the entire draft. Chandler Jones and Donta Hightower. Grabbed another pass rusher in the 3rd, and got Alfonso Denard in the 7th round when he was rated as a top 40 prospect.


Steelers are another team that had a huge weekend. That Oline will go from poor, to being one of the best in the league. Someone even said Decastro will be better than Alan Faneca was in Pittsburgh. Alameda Ta'Amu at DT is nice rotational depth that they really needed.


Colts get a nice combo with Luck and Fleener. They were team mates in college and Fleener will help Lucks transition in the NFL.


Rams added a shitload of highly rated players. This was a huge draft for them and changes the outlook of their entire team.


Eagles too. Both those guys will get after RG3, Eli, and Romo.




Ravens had a bad draft IMO. They missed out of their two highest targets, Decastro and Hightower, and both went to the Ravens rival teams.

    So who are the winners/losers of the draft? How do you feel about your team? Fill in some holes or still have a lot left?

    winners= eagles(no bias), steelers, packers, bills, bengals,
    losers= browns(excluding trent), broncos, jacksonville(excluding blackmon), bears, and seahawks

    This is IMO though....

    I'm convinced they're just trying to fail their way to L.A.

    Browns are the worst organization on earth. More worse than the federal reserve.

    Or the public school system.

    If you can't do coffin-corner punts with your eyes closed on call - you have no business gettin' drafted in any round as a Punter.

    Im surprised no one has mentioned the bengals. theyre the team who i believe got alot of quality players and overall drafted very efficiently. not only did they acquire kilpatrick in the first, but they also got sanu in the 3rd, traded down to get zeitler to protect dalton and acquired a complete steal with dt brandon thompson in the third. theyve improved on both sides of the ball

    Unless a ? can do that same ? , and manage to kick the ball at least 80 yards down field, then that punter deserves to be drafted.
    Otherwise, get the ? outta the draft.

    Word.

    But Punters are winning lately.

    Dude went in the third, last year the Bucs spent 14 Millie on the Falcons former punter (who was slightly above average, btw.) Then you got that one Minnesota kicker or punter that's always ether'n ? on his blog (forgot his name.)

    ? having a revolution like DB's in the 90s.

    Co-sign. ? was 1 play away from being in the Super Bowl. Obviously dont need much just like the Giants.





    Jealous of the Eagles draft smh. ? still aint catching RGIII tho(no bias)

    Rams made out nice as expected with all them damn front loaded picks they had.

    Pats finally jumped up and got some good Defensive players. ?



    Cowboys LAUCE just cause they traded there 2nd pick for a corner when they couldve gotten 2 solid players instead. Leave it up to Jerah

    @Jamaica

    Allen is a hard hitting safety with a knack always being around the ball. He led our #3 defense in the nation with 88 tackles. 9.5 for a loss. 3 ints, 4 Ff, And 2 fr. He tries to get it done. Damn steal of the draft if you ask me.

    Redskins baffling with that Cousins pick....

    Jets did aight, dont like that they didn't go Ingram though.

    I think SanFran did a lowkey good job though, Giants were typically efficient.

    Belicheck actually traded up this year, must be nervous or somethin...

    I thought the Colts had a bad draft. Sooner or later you gotta get a defense. They did the all offense thing when Peyton was there. Then this year they draft a DT in the 5th and a DE in the 7th as their only defensive players.

    Winners: Pittsburgh, Detroit, Bengals

    Losers: Jacksonville (lol), Dolphins, texans, Browns.


    I also liked Seattle's moves. Risky, but good upside.

    I thought I was the only one. Nice picks and everything but they needed defense as well and they took this "lets make luck comfortable" to a whole nother level. It's ? up but I really hope dude is a bust just because of the way he's been treated and talked about amongst the greats despite him not even taking a snap in the NFL yet.
