Thanks!

htismage and Nightfyre did a nice job with the Giants draft positions.

The people first in line got to pick the teams they like. We've been taking turns on the Chiefs in the past few years. No clue who will be up for that next year.

I picked the Packers because I live in Wisconsin. I know the team up and down from chatting about them with friends and family. I originally had the Vikings because they're my next most familiar team, but then I gave them up to help some other guys get their wishes on teams they wanted. The Seahawks are kind of interesting because they're not really in rebuilding mode, but there aren't too many focal points on their roster. I could draft pretty much any position and as long as it's a good player, it's fun to speculate just how good the team can become with just those key additions.

1.4 Robert Griffin III, QB, Baylor
1.22 Nick Perry, DE/OLB, USC
2.37 Alshon Jeffery, WR, South Carolina
3.68 Zebrie Sanders, OT, Florida State
4.99 Brandon Washington, OG, Miami
4.117 Vick Ballard, RB, Miss St.
5.130 Josh Kaddu, OLB, Oregon
6.175 Chris Rainey, RB, Florida
7.193 Tramain Thomas, S, Arkansas
7.227 DeAngelo Peterson, TE, LSU
7.229 Keith Tandy, CB, WVU

I cannot imagine that a Browns fan wouldn't love to see those first four picks.

I picked Dallas a few years ago and have just kept doing them each year. For the second team, I try to choose a team that is similar to the Chiefs so I can look at players that could be future Chiefs as well.

thanks for the explanations.

Only pick I'm not too terribly pumped about was Omar Bolden considering some of the other talent that could have been had at that spot. He's an ideal fit in Dom's coverage scheme, though, so there he is. I doubt Ted Thompson would ever take my "problem" picks of Irvin and Loiseau seriously, but that's his problem, not mine. All I'm doing is acquiring the talent. The locker room of choir boys in a tiny city will definitely do those players some good.

1) Michael Brockers, DE, LSU
2) Jared Crick, DE, Nebraska
3) Bruce Irvin, OLB, West Virginia
4) Quentin Saulsberry, C, Mississippi State
5) Omar Bolden, CB, Arizona State
6) Markus Zusevics, OT, Iowa
7a) Chandler Harnish, QB, Northern Illinois
7b) Jeremy Lane, CB, Northwestern St
7c) Shawn Loiseau, ILB, Merrimack
7d) Daryl Richardson, RB, Abilene Christian

Saulsberry ended up being a really sexy pick. He'll fill out the interior line depth on the Packers very nicely until Saturday's broke dick is ready to retire. I wanted Austin Davis, but Harnish will do just fine as the next in the long line of outstanding Packer backups. I'm excited about Lane, and Loiseau and Richardson were total 7th round fliers, which sometimes you just gotta do.

I see this draft fulfilling the two KEY needs for the team: Solidify depth at thin positions and get younger, faster, bigger, and stronger on the defensive line. I would have spread out the defensive line picks some since this is such a deep draft for the position, but I simply couldn't pass on both Brockers and Crick. They're EXACTLY who the Packers needed, and they came at the perfect price. Nothing wrong with perfection.

28 1) Michael Brockers, DE, LSU- 14
60 2) Jared Crick, DE, Nebraska- 126
90 3) Bruce Irvin, OLB, West Virginia- 15
122 4) Quentin Saulsberry, C, Mississippi State- undrafted
154 5) Omar Bolden, CB, Arizona State- 101
185 6) Markus Zusevics, OT, Iowa- undrafted
206 7a) Chandler Harnish, QB, Northern Illinois- 253
217 7b) Jeremy Lane, CB, Northwestern St- 172
223 7c) Shawn Loiseau, ILB, Merrimack- undrafted
225 7d) Daryl Richardson, RB, Abilene Christian- 252

I guess NFL teams don't share my high opinion of Quentin Saulsberry. Whatever. ****'em. Kid's gonna be a star.

Kansas City Chiefs:

1 (11). Trent Richardson, RB, Alabama - #3 Overall
2 (44). Kelechi Osemele, OT, Iowa State - #60 Overall
3 (75). Philip Blake, OC, Baylor - #108 Overall
4 (106). Jonathan Massaquoi, OLB/DE, Troy - #164 Overall
5 (137). Trenton Robinson, S, Michigan State - #180 Overall
6 (170). Asa Jackson, CB, Cal Poly - #169 Overall
7 (200). Akiem Hicks, NT, Regina - #89 Overall
7 (220). Nick Provo, TE, Syracuse - Undrafted

I thought FA had ****ed me after I picked two offensive linemen in the 2nd and 3rd rounds.....but apparently Pioli was looking at my draft for ideas.

I missed hitting Jackson on the exact pick he was drafted by one number. Other than Richardson and Hicks....I was pretty much drafting everyone one round higher than they went. Hicks was a steal in the 7th round.

Dallas Cowboys
1. Dre Kirkpatrick, CB, Alabama (1st)
2. Alameda Ta'amu, NT, Washington (4th)
3. Brandon Weeden, QB, Oklahoma State (1st)
4. Tank Carder, LB, TCU (5th)
5. Joe Adams, WR, Arkansas (4th)
6. Will Blackwell, G, LSU (Undrafted)
7. James Hanna, TE, Oklahoma (6th)

Cowboys did pretty damn good job overall. Give that draft an A.

New England Patriots

1. Dontari Poe, DE/DT, Memphis (1st)
1. Mohammad Sanu, WR, Rutgers (3rd)
2. Vinny Curry, LB, Marshall (2nd)
2. Dwight Jones, WR, North Carolina (Undrafted)
3. Ben Jones, C, Georgia (4th)
4. Aaron Henry, S, Wisconsin (Undrafted)

Up and down for the Pats. Still it would be a solid draft. B-

Browns

1.4 Robert Griffin III, QB, Baylor (1st)
1.22 Nick Perry, DE/OLB, USC (1st)
2.37 Alshon Jeffery, WR, South Carolina (2nd)

5.141 Tauren Poole, RB, Tennessee (UDFA)
6.172 Jerry Franklin, LB, Arkansas (UDFA)
7.202 Jaye Howard, DT, Florida (4th)

Yikes!

It looks like Reachmaqe was about the same. I wouldn't feel too terrible.

Miami....not a great draft, but thats what happens when you draft for perceived need. I still think I got a few good players that will contribute to the team a lot.

1.8 Courtney Upshaw - 2nd
2.8 Nick Foles - 3rd
3.8 Nick Jean Baptiste - UDFA
4.8 Andrew Darko - 7th
5.8 TY Hilton - 3rd
6.8 Delano Howell - UDFA
7.8 Neiko Thorpe - UDFA

Atlanta..I think this was a damn strong draft class considering I didnt have a first or fourth round pick to utilize. I basically got great value for every selection as has been the case all three years Ive drafted for them.

***no first round pick due to trade****
2. David Wilson - 1st
3. Jack Baquette - went 9 picks after I took him in the third round
***no 4th rounder due to trade******
5. Shaun Prater - went one slot above where I took him....pretty good for an Iowa homer, huh?
6. Brian Anger - went in the third round...this kid is gonna be a great punter, would have been sick in a dome.
7. Josh Oglesby - UDFA

Seattle Seahawks:

(12) 1. Luke Kuechly, LB, Boston College (1st round- 9th overall)
(43) 2. Andre Branch, DE, Clemson (2nd round- 38th overall)
(76) 3. Ladarius Green, TE, Louisiana-Lafayette (4th round- 110th overall)
(105) 4. Kirk Cousins, QB, Michigan State (4th round- 102nd overall)
(169) 6. Terrence Ganaway, RB, Baylor (6th round- 202nd overall)
(207) 7. DaJohn Harris, DT, USC (undrafted)
