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

[Clint N. Suhks]

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

Guess I’m a new Lions fan.

[OddLane]

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.

[dfwgator]

Guess I’m a new Lions fan.

Welcome aboard!

[conservativebuckeye]

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.

[Clint N. Suhks]

SEC rocking tonight!

Are you from the Motor City via Gainesville?

[BADROTOFINGER]

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...

[AGreatPer]

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

[conservativebuckeye]

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.

[Tuxedo]

This was an odd pick for the Browns.

[BADROTOFINGER]

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...:-)

[conservativebuckeye]

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

[misterrob]

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

[misterrob]

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

[conservativebuckeye]

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.

[Darren McCarty]

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

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

[BADROTOFINGER]

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

[BADROTOFINGER]

Oops, forgot about the Aints...

[Clint N. Suhks]

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!

[big'ol_freeper]

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