I really like Floyd to Arizona. He was my #1 WR and he and Fitz together is a coverage nightmare. Their QBs just got better.

St. Louis traded down too far, it appears.

I think the guy they wanted was Cox and thought he would be available at 14.

Lol. NFL mentioned John Skelton. Corn Kolb has to feel bad.

Making me think that the Niners should take Jenkins at 30.

Why are Decastro and Ingram slipping? I thought Decastro was as sure as they come as far as offensive linemen.

Sometimes taking the BPA does work out, right?

Do the Bengals snatch up Dre Kirkpatrick now? It'd fit with Mike Brown's tendency to only draft guys he's seen play on ABC or CBS.

I always thought Decastro was a bottom half of the first round type of pick...Jeff?

wait DAL only gives up one pick to move up

and PHI gave up 2 picks to move up

did I read that right? and if so, why the disparity?

Agree, haven't had him higher than SD's pick for awhile now.

DeCastro isn't falling that much, I've had him in that SD range but did think it was possible that he could go higher than that.

Key is, Dallas swapped firsts and gave up another top 50 pick while it looks like Philly swapped firsts and gave up mid-rounders.

Dallas gave up more QUALITY wise.

Brockers. They could have had Claiborne, Cox or Poe. They outsmarted themselves with the tradebacks.

Bears and Lions are thrilled right now.

I knew Irvin was going 1sst round, didn't think that high though.

Jets have to take Melvin Ingram. I hope for both parties.

I'm sure it's going to be Ingram. Happy for him. Wanted him in Carolina though.

I think he'll be as good as John Abraham. Funny how he's probably going to the same team John started his career with.
