Exactly and what you said about Denver is right. I mean, Olandis Gary ran for 1000 yds one year.

That’s an excellent point. As great as Suh is he can’t do it by himself.

Guess I’m a new Lions fan.

I don't think you can evaluate him based on an injury-plagued season.

The guy is a remarkable talent, and even if running backs are more expendable than other players, I still think turning your nose at a potentially franchise-changing player makes no sense.

It’s the perfect situation for him. He fell far enough that he’ll have a chip on his shoulder and not rest on his laurels. Lining up next to Suh will give him more opportunities to make plays because he can’t be double teamed.

SEC rocking tonight!

Are you from the Motor City via Gainesville?

Prince is a shutdown corner almost immediately, barring extended holdout or injury. He is as much of a franchise changing player as Ingram, especially for the G-Men. Now if they could just shore up the LBs...

Did I hear that right, Cleveland is going with a 3-4 next year? Wow.

They’re switching from a 3-4 to a 4-3 and I’m not happy about this pick. I wanted Cameron Jordan from Cal.

This was an odd pick for the Browns.

Now Castonzo will probably go to Indy, and a pretty good fit for both, but they might take Ingram here, wouldnt shock me at all. Maybe just as much to shove it down Belicheck’s throat in the playoffs...:-)

It sure was. I think he still would’ve been there at 27.

3-4 means a NT that ties up 2 blockers on the inside and doesn’t get moved. Think Wilfork, Hampton, etc

They must have been afraid that the Sea Hags grabbed him or someone trades back into the round

Castonzo was a great pick for the Colts. I figured Indy would get it right because Polian doesn’t screw up 2 years in a row.

Especially if Vanden Bosch stays healthy causing problems on the edge.

A good D-line makes an average linebacker and defensive back corps good.

Now, does Seattle take Ingram or Jordan? Im sure that they were hoping that a different position than Ingram would have fallen this far.

Danny Watkins never played high school ball. Played hockey and rugby then
went junior college and transferred to Baylor and is a 26 year old rookie?

Ain’t America great!

Dang...it’s almost midnight and the Packers still haven’t had their first pick. LOL...it’s good to be Super Bowl Champions!
