The Quick pick got leaked earlier today, lots of people had it. Nice, soft-spoken young man with really strong hands. When he shakes your hand his forearm really bulges out. He's a project though, real raw with his feet and the speed of the game will be a battle.

Coby Fleener to Colts, nobody should be surprised.

Really safe pick by the Colts, can't blame them

Or Randle. I would prefer Randle. Hill has serious offensive pass interference issues and a bit of the Braylon Edwards "I can't catch balls when I'm wide open" disease.

I won't be home for another 20-30 minutes, how long did it take for an analyst to say 'a quarterbacks best friend is his tight end?'

Baltimore was going to take Upshaw at 29 but wound up getting an extra pick and still got him at 35. Ozzie Newsome >>> Rick Speilman.

It should be very interesting to see how the Ravens develop Upshaw. I'm a bit higher on the guy than most because I believe his cons don't weigh nearly as heavy as his pros. The kid is a great athlete, and you can't help but think he'll become very good being mentored by the vets of the Ravens D.

Well there goes Upshaw and all my hope for a pass rusher. Any other good ones remaining in the 2nd for the Jets Ic?

Quick strikes me as a luxury pick for a team that needs players. Maybe they thought they could catch Damario Alexander's lightning in a bottle twice.

Upshaw to the Ravens, Ozzie Newsome continues his wizardry.

Thought Elway would get Manning a WR, just to get him another weapon.

I guess we'll see right now. They have their choice.

Of course that probably means they go completely off the board and throw everyone off.

Wolfe seems like a bit of a reach.

He is one of my least favorite human beings. Right there with Will Ferrell, any Kardashian, and Glenn Beck as teh most annoying people on the planet.

Me too, most of the scouting reports that I read was that he's solid, just solid. Nothing special and with potential still on the board they did reach a bit IMO.
