Prediction Time: What Happens Today?

Post #1 » by **ReasonablySober** » Thu Apr 28, 2011 1:18 pm

General predictions, too. Let's see 'em.

If you think Thompson trades up, post it with your pick.

LUKE23 · Post #2 » by **LUKE23** » Thu Apr 28, 2011 1:30 pm

I think it's going to be a minor trade up for either Ingram or Ayers.

I honestly have no idea. I'm still not even convinced Newton is going number one, I think he could end up falling pretty far.

I guess if I had to predict something for the Packers I would say trade out.

So many different scenarios could happen here and nothing would surprise me. I could see a trade down, picking up a #1 for next year. Matthews came out of nowhere so we know if there is someone Ted likes and thinks the cost of moving up to that spot is reasonable, he'll pull the trigger.

Trade down, (sniffle). Based on Teddie's uncanny player evaluation, it makes the most sense but makes for a boring end to day one.

If we do draft someone, it'll be Brooks Reed.

If we trade up or stay put my guess is Ingram. But I think it's more likely that we deal out of the first.

He'll probably be off the board but I'll go the wishful thinking route and say Sherrod. I'll also predict that my beer and wings will be delicious regardless of what TT does.

I have zero interest in this draft and will check in periodically to see where Watt and Gabe go.

Article in the JS this morning about undrafted free agents, that even with the lockout lifted (for now) there will likely be no one signed Saturday night when the draft ends.

This is Carl of da aqua teen hunga force and this is my STONE COLD LOCK OF DA CENTURY. of da week.

TT ability to draft players that don't suck is so good, there's no way he makes the mistake of picking any of the garbage that'll be available at da end of da first round tonight.

I know what cha thinkin - da Pack is gonna lose Cullen Jenkins, our OT's are getting long in the mouth, and if we don't beef up da trenches, A Rod's gonna get re-concussed and Mr. Matthews and his golden locks won't be eatin QB's for breakfast again next year.

Well I got news for ya jack - dis is da deepest D-line draft in a century, and da Packers have more talent across their offensive line sitting on da bench dan lineup of sloots at cha local Tilted Kilt restaruant / strip joint.

TT seems like da kinda guy that would F a guy in the arse and not even have the courtesy to give da guy a reach around - and I think you'll see him in action tonight w/ the GM of one of these habitualy bad teams: BUF, CIN, TEN, or Zona, to the toon of a high 3rd round DP this year.

I'm Carl of da aqua teen hunga force and that's my STONE COLD LOCK OF DA CENTURY. of da week.

This is like Christmas for me, one of my favorite days of the year.

As for a prediction, this is a tough one to figure out. I'll say that TT does not trade up or down and will make a pick at #32. I'll go ahead and say Akeem Ayers even though I wouldn't be excited about that pick.

Trade down.

Does anyone know what time we're projected to pick if we stand pat?

Draft starts at 7, 10 minutes per pick right? That means like 12:20 for us if everyone goes full 10. But last year didn't it go really quick vs. prior years?

PkrsBcksGphsMqt · Post #14 » by **PkrsBcksGphsMqt** » Thu Apr 28, 2011 2:09 pm

Lots of smoke around Ingram in the last 24 hours, which probably means we won't get him. I'm going to say either an OT/DE falls or we trade up to get one.

Thanks for the laugh zmanishere11!

Forgot to mention (if it hasn't already been mentioned elsewhere), I just listened to Mike Lombardi on Bill Simmons's podcast from yesterday, he was pretty confident Ted Thompson will be looking to trade down and basically explained that they guy Ted values at 32 will likely be available quite a few slots lower.

I thought it starts at 7 EST.

Sherrod or Watkins

Crap.

32 for 60-72-125 (Patriots move up because they have an asinine amount of picks.)
Walden and Barnett for 104 (Cardinals do it because it allows them to fill two needs for one pick)

60: Marcus Gilbert (T/G Florida)
64: Greg Little (WR UNC) *
72: Justin Houston (OLB Georgia) **
96: Drake Nevis (DE LSU)
104: Christian Ballard (DE Iowa) **
125: Joeseph Barksdale (OT LSU)
129: Jalil Brown (CB Colorado) *
131: Marcus Cannon (T/G TCU) *
163: Nate Irving (ILB N.C. State) *
197: Roy Helu (RB Nebraska)
204: TJ Yates (QB UNC)
233: Mark Herzlich (ILB Boston College)

* indicates falling because of injury.
** indicates falling because of failed drug test.

3 Olineman
2 Dlineman
1 Outside linebacker
2 Inside Linebackers
1 Wide Reciever
1 Cornerback
1 Quarterback
1 Running back

What does Thompson do? Who does he pick?
