Mr. WEO Posted April 29, 2011 Share Posted April 29, 2011 Saints A++...by far the best performance on the first day of the draft. The Bills and Denver get A's for not blowing no brainer picks, I guess. Atlanta gets an A for trading up for the best WR in the draft. Arizona needed a QB. GAbbert would have helped their record more than Peterson ever will. Same for San Fran. All C's. Who's the QB for Cincy? D. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
zow2 Posted April 29, 2011 Share Posted April 29, 2011 I'd give Tennessee a solid F for Jake Locker. He will be slightly better than John Beck so i hope that's ok with them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Agree with you wholeheartedly on the Saints draft..... have to ask though, you think Julio Jones is better than AJ Green? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ChevyVanMiller Posted April 29, 2011 Share Posted April 29, 2011 Cleveland should get an A+++++ They walk away with DT Phil Taylor (which just about every mock done on TBD hoped would end up on the Bills in the 2nd) give up a 3rd but acquire Atlanta's No. 27 overall pick and second- and fourth-round picks this year, in addition to Atlanta's first- and fourth-round picks in 2012. If the Bills had been in place to make such a play I think most here would be ecstatic. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CodeMonkey Posted April 29, 2011 Share Posted April 29, 2011 (edited) Carolina-Cam Newton B- Tenn Jake-Locker C+ JAX-Blaine Gabbert C+ Minn-Christian Ponder C- Let the debating begin.. Don't like QBs much eh With Newton off the board the Bills would have had to try REALLY hard to !@#$ up that pick. I was hoping for Miller just because I think a LB would have more immediate impact, but Dareus is obviously an instant starter as well in a big position of need and a solid pick. With the Jags taking Gabbert, it begs the question what will Trentative do? Edited April 29, 2011 by CodeMonkey Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Albany,n.y. Posted April 29, 2011 Share Posted April 29, 2011 The Cincy pick baffles me. They needed another WR? TO & Chad old, going, going, gone. Yes, they needed a receiver. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RJ (not THAT RJ) Posted April 29, 2011 Share Posted April 29, 2011 TO & Chad old, going, going, gone. Yes, they needed a receiver. Fair enough, though seeing that having high profile WRs was not bringing them to the playoffs anyway, I still have my doubts. Yet another reason to be glad I am not a Bengals fan, I guess.

San Jose Bills Fan Posted April 29, 2011 Share Posted April 29, 2011 Cleveland should get an A+++++ They walk away with DT Phil Taylor (which just about every mock done on TBD hoped would end up on the Bills in the 2nd) give up a 3rd but acquire Atlanta's No. 27 overall pick and second- and fourth-round picks this year, in addition to Atlanta's first- and fourth-round picks in 2012. If the Bills had been in place to make such a play I think most here would be ecstatic. I like what the Browns did but I'm a bit baffled by their pick. They just hired Dick Jauron to be D-Coordinator and have stated that they will run a 4-3 defense. Phil Taylor is probably the most prototypical 3-4 nose tackle. They're a team that's trying to build around Colt McCoy and they have almost zero offensive weapons. And Ahtyba Rubin is a very good young DT…Again this year as with last year, I'm not feeling the Holmgren acumen as Director of Football Operations. That said, count me as one of those thinking that the Browns fleeced the Falcons. Atlanta gave up way too much for a flawed player, IMO. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fair enough, though seeing that having high profile WRs was not bringing them to the playoffs anyway, I still have my doubts. Yet another reason to be glad I am not a Bengals fan, I guess. TO and OC together couldn't do anything in Cincy. Now they have no QB. Dumb pick. I like what the Browns did but I'm a bit baffled by their pick.

San Jose Bills Fan Posted April 29, 2011 Share Posted April 29, 2011 Flawed player?? Atlanta picked up a beast of a receiver to play opposite White. In your opinion, not mine.

Scrappy Posted April 29, 2011 Share Posted April 29, 2011 Cincy wanted to show that they could replace their WR's with real talent & no one to throw it to him, F-. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Anyway, they are a team without glaring needs and most mocks had Jones going in the top 6 or 8 anyway. It was hardly a reach like the ones made by two really shaky teams: Tenn and Jax.
