Peppers for cassel? Sign me up.

But Pettigrew...eesh, I don't know. I think the pats are fine at TE. Sure Watson could be upgraded but not so much that you need to draft one in the first round.

[MadCityBucky]

No way the Lions do that trade. If anything they want more draft picks.

I doubt that Peppers trade happens.

Chiefs will not select a QB with the third pick, I think they will draft Curry.

Michael Johnson does not fall that far. He has far too much potential for that many teams to pass on him.

I love the Packers draft (though I personally prefer Brown over Raji and Johnson over Matthews).

Aaron Maybin also fell too far. He could potentially be the best LB here if he puts everything together. Has all the physical tools. Also only 21 years old.

The Redskins will definetely not take a HB in the first round. Give them Britton instead(a reach perhaps but OL is a need unlike HB, so might trade back for this player).

I'm trusting Icness on this one. He's said Delmas, Pettigrew and Rey are the Pats top targets, and that sounds about right. They've taken TE's in the 1st before and value them highly.

If they see Mark Sanchez as a franchise QB and are high on him, I don't see why the wouldn't pull the trigger. They'll be able to fill some holes and add some depth in FA with something like $40 mill in cap room. This trade basically is Roy Williams for Mark Sanchez. Would they really hold out on a late 3rd for the difference between what could be Sanchez to Freeman?

They going to share Curry with the Rams?

And he has far too many questions to be taken in the 1st. I see him as a 2nd rounder right now. There's a reason he didn't show his face at the combine.

Where does Johnson fit in a 3-4? Too tall and no experience as a LB, and not exactly your prototypical 3-4 DE.

Maybin's limited to being drafted by a 3-4 team. Too much of a project and too thin for a 4-3 DE.

Snyder's not really known for reaches. And when the Redskins were winning this season, it was when Portis was considered a MVP candidate and the running game was strong. But the long season took a toll on him and he began to slow down towards the end of the season. It was also his 4 season in the past 5 years with 325+ carries. They need someone to take some of the load off of him and not miss a beat. Plus, Beanie will also be the back of the future for them. When you factor in the success of the 2-back system, especially in their own division, I don't think it's too far fetched.

If the Pats take a TE in the first round I may put my head through my coffee table. Would really be a horrible pick when they need so much more.

I do however like the Mike Mickens pick in the late second round. Seems like quite the steal at that point.

[Ong_dynasty]

If the eagles get Oher and Moreno...Ill be more than happy!
The only thing that can beat that is a trade of a 1st rounder for Boldin.

[lpsevier]

I'd be happy with Moore in the 2nd, but I think there is zero chance we go DE in the first.

We'll give Anderson another year to prove himself.

[hermes]

i'm good with the vikes picks, not sure how i feel about the trade though

not a fan of Anderson, but i guess he's better than anything we have now

[A.J.]

Nice 1st round pick for the Texans, but bad 2nd round pick. We don't need a WR when we have AJ and Walter at the spot.
