NFL 2014 NFL Draft

[royals1922]

Judgment calls required- who lost and who won.

 

[ausbacker]

Did Manziel realise his slide cost him $12m when he came on stage?

Given the wealth of his family, I'm sure it's more ego than care.

 

[Dirty Bird]

Judgment calls required- who lost and who won.

Washington and Seattle won as they're the only teams not to draft a potential bust.

 

[Dixie Flatline]

Where you getting these before ESPN?

I went out for lunch so missed the last few picks. La Canfora was tweeting the picks before they're officially announced.

 

[Marlowe]

Judgment calls required- who lost and who won.

The Browns could be the big winner if the Bills pick next year is top ten. The Vikings won big today.

Judgment calls required- who lost and who won.

Bears and Saints won for me

 

[Blacky]

FFS denver.... What a pick

Bucannon is probs a better pick though by arizona though.

He got abused at times though.

The pick is growing on me, would have preferred Hageman, but Roby would have been up there

 

[Blacky]

Rams could be the big winners

 

[larkis]

Rams could be the big winners

StacedGod is now a first round pick in fantasy football

I almost traded him in Empire. That will no longer be happening

   32   32    Seattle (--> Vikings)  Xavier Su'a-Filo  Teddy Bridgewater

Lee, Hageman, Su'a-Filo, Matthews, Ealy, and Nix all went in the first round of the BigFooty draft but not in the actual draft. Of those that were drafted in the first round by the collective wisdom of BigFooty and then in the actual draft, Teddy Bridgwater suffered the biggest drop, going from a top four pick for Cleveland in our mock to pick #32 in the real draft.

 

[Chris25]

Couldn't be happier with the Browns day. Filled our biggest hole on D, and got ourselves a new QB. And if that wasn't enough, another first round pick for next year? Perfect.

 

[Blacky]

Yeah Browns won the day

 

[_shifty_]

Very strong rumours that the Seahawks wanted Easley and only Easley. Apparently they had absolutely no intentions of making a pick after he was gone, but it did help that Lee, Teddy and Carr were all there

A Bills first rounder
Those ones are extra valuable

 

[camsmith]

Have I missed something or did Marqise Lee miss out today?

One of the better first days of the NFL draft in recent memory. IMO Browns did very well IF Johnny works out, they pretty much would have got the 3 best possible players at their picks for what they need.

Im not sold on Roby, I guess any off-field trouble with someone even before the bright lights of the NFL worries me but it was an area we needed to fill and just had to go for the best CB left I guess. We could have traded down I feel but oh well.

 

[Blacky]

Agreed.

That said Roby definitely has the talent and wont be thrown to the wolves immediately, so he will have time to adjust

 

[Boxhead_31]

Why do Vikings always win day 1?

An no games thereafter

 

[Blacky]

We tried to move up to 16 for Mosely and they weren't interested

 

[Oscarman]

Not sure what to think about Bortles. Guess the next year or two will be the test.

 

[Starburns_]

One thing is very clear this year (and to a lesser extent last year), when it comes to drafting/reaching for QBs, teams have learnt a lot from 2011 (Newton aside).

 

[bgt2110]

Can't help but feel the Texans rested on their laurels thinking Bridgewater was going to last until the second round, when the vikes made that trade to move up i reckon they were , i know i was. Oh well see what happens tomorrow.

There's a possibility now that little brother will follow in his big brother's footsteps.

 

[bgt2110]

Not many options left to them, was interesting that Garropolo was invited onto the stage beforehand with the other top prospects. Don't think they will draft him at 33, looks like Carr or then having to wait until the 3rd round.

 

[Shade]

I just dont see the Texans wanting another Carr after the previous debacle
