I didn't know the Chargers spent a third on Kaeding, that's kind of ridiculous even though he was great for a long time.

The Lions spent a second to draft Jason Hanson. Then again Hanson owned, so it was a good use of the pick. Dang, he was Offensive ROY (PFWA version) in 1992 :stare:

I hope that day 1 has more people shouting "WHAT" after "With the X pick in the 2014 NFL Draft", there was a distressingly smaller amount of it last year that really disappointed me.

No, not Jets fan reactions. In recent years of the NFL Draft, the entire crowd has taken to shouting "WHAT" after "With the x pick in the x NFL Draft". Once they start they do it for every pick of the first day. I think they started doing it after they broke off the 2nd-3rd round to its own day.

My guess is someone told them they couldn't keep booing Goodell except at the very beginning, so they took up doing that as a replacement.

It's 100% accurate. Every time I go to the draft the Jets fans moan whoever they pick.

I think they cheered for Sanchez which should tell you enough about that fan base.

They actually booed Sanchez and I went on rant in my friend's living about how they were idiots for dissing a guy who hasn't even had the chance to prove himself. Obviously he turned out to be an atrocious pick, but I still stand by my argument. He was the best decision for the organization at that point in time.

I heard cheers. Jets fans are notorious for wanting a QB. It's their holy grail. Even when Pennington was throwing decent balls around they were clamoring for a franchise QB.

Every Jets fan I knew was talking up Sanchez for weeks after the pick because they just didn't want to be disappointed.

Draft Insider Tony Pauline reports the Rams, Ravens, and Eagles appear to be the "frontrunners" to draft Texas A&M WR Mike Evans.

Although it sounds to me like the Rams are leaking that to let people know the #13 spot is available for trade (Baltimore has #17).

It depends, does your team plan on making hilariously bad picks, trading up/down a lot, and essentially try to out-think themselves? If so you'll be in for a great time.

Plus, half the fun of the draft is immediately rationalizing how the Guard with an injury history your team took in the first round was a steal and a supremely wise move because X Team was surely going to take him with the next pick!

I prefer Mo Wilkerson.

On another note, I'm not buying into the Jimmy Garoppolo love. It's easy to fall in love with his stats but he stands out to me as a "jack of all trades master of none" type QB. His ceiling is probably Alex Smith.

I see a guy with below average arm strength, poor deep accuracy and side arm delivery. On top of that he took most of his snaps out of the shotgun in college. He has a very fast release, is decisive with the ball and doesn't make bonehead mistakes but is that enough to push a guy into the 1st round?

This is the 2nd time I'm saying this itt, but the WR class is so amazingly deep that no one should be surprised if Evans or Watkins dip because of it. Many high picking teams might wait on WR because they can get a high quality one in the second round.

A dog, in the house.

*woof*
I guess I should be thrilled with the idea of Evans falling to Baltimore since I'm not sold on either of the top two safeties and drafting an RT in the first is stupid (unless Robinson or Matthews falls, which they won't). Thing is I think Evans has a ton of bust potential. He doesn't have a full route tree under his belt, he benefited greatly from the time afforded him by JFF broken plays, he's a bit of a hot head, and an OPI machine. Hands and size are great but not everybody is going to be Alshon Jeffery. I'm wary of anybody that struggles to get consistent separation in college.


Still, he pairs with Torrey Smith beautifully and I doubt anyone else who could be there at 17 would be more worth the pick. Dude just really scares me.

According to Draft Insider Tony Pauline, the "feeling league wide" is the Patriots will draft a quarterback in May because they "expect to lose" Ryan Mallett after the upcoming season.

Mallett is entering the last year of his rookie deal. The Pats have shown some interest in Virginia Tech QB Logan Thomas. New England has drafted six quarterbacks since stealing Tom Brady in the 2000 sixth round. They are Rohan Davey, Kliff Kingsbury, Matt Cassel, Kevin O'Connell, Zac Robinson, and Mallett.

What a list.

I don't think they're sold on Dennard, and most mocks don't have Gilbert slipping past the Lions. Tomlin seems really enamored with Gilbert though, I agree

That's out of a bunch of low round picks, Cassel was a pretty good hit, so yay. I expect the Pats will probably draft a QB, but anywhere from the 3rd-7th, so who cares.

With Brady being 37 they might actually consider drafting a QB higher this year (or next). Brady only has 3 or 4 years left on his contract, now'd be about the time they'd want to seriously start looking for an heir apparent.

That's unlikely. What QB's are getting drafted in the first two rounds to sit behind established starters? Kaepernick behind a thoroughly unimpressive Alex Smith is the closest I can come up with. If you jump back 9 years you can add Rodgers to the list, but that comes with a bunch of caveats like Favre threatening to retire every year.

Eh, they whiffed bad on O'Connell ahead of a couple decent players, but it's not like the guys past Mallett are worth worrying about (and maybe it turns out Mallett can even play (unlikely)).

Eh, I think the hand-wringing over "losing Ryan Mallett" is the funny part. I mean I can see why everyone's champing at the bit to get their hands on him, what with his career 17 passing yards and the long history of successful ex-Pats QBs.

If he was actually any good they'd just hold onto him, it's not like he has a resume that'd drive up his price in free agency.
