I really don't like drafting interior linemen that high in the first. I'm sure Martin will be fine, but guard is the easiest position to find in the middle rounds, so it seems like a dumb use of resources on a team with so many more pressing needs. Would have much rather gone with Pyror or Clinton-Dix. Safety has thinned out in a big way now so that's probably another season without finding the answer there. Hopefully they can grab a DE next round. I also would have accepted Manziel because Johnny loving Football Forever.

If Manziel busts hard this year at least the Browns will have two high 1st round picks to draft a QB in next year's draft to try again because you know the Bills are going to suck.

Eric Ebron's a good pick and the Bears and Packers will manage to screw up Fuller and Clinton-Dix. Think the Vikings are doing things right, though.

I'm not particularly high on Manziel, but when your GM turns the #4 into the #9 and a future Bills 1st, you trust him. Plus in the worst case that Manziel busts it's going to be a spectacular failure instead of incredibly boring like Weeden's non-flag failures.

I'm a little bit jealous of Browns fans. Not only do they get to watch Manziel every Sunday, and let me tell you, the guy is a treat to see play, but they also get to go to the stadium wearing jerseys that say "FOOTBALL" on the back.

After sleeping on it, I feel like the kid who was waiting for months for Christmas morning, having it finally come, watching your brothers and sisters open up cool and exciting toys, ripping off the wrapping paper when it's finally your turn to open gifts, you open the box and find.............clothes.  No doubt the clothes are something you absolutely need because your current wardrobe is tattered and moth bitten and will get a lot more use out of than those flashy toys over the years, but the practicality of it just leaves you slightly frustrated. Who are the edge rushers and safeties left that I should know about?

Attaochu will probably be there for the Birds, and it would be a drat fine pick. I'm pretty sure every safety worth a drat is gone, there was a ridiculous run on Safeties in the 20's.

The ravens are on record saying that Mosely was the highest guy on their board by the 10th pick. I've calmed down a bit since last night but this guy really needs to be amazing because we even had trades offered to us which I'm pretty sure means we could of had Ward yesterday and two picks in the second today. That would be a much better world.

My biggest problem with Miamis pick is it demonstrates hickey had no balls. Dude was offered a trade down around 24 so it's said, and it involved a 3rd rounder. ...and he refused. Who was gonna take James there? Arizona MAYBE? You drop down the 5 spots and get that pick #90 and laugh because not only do you get your guy but you are picking again Friday on a team that needs line depth - in a deep deep draft for linemen. He cowered. Our 10th choice for GM looks bad who woulda thought. Maybe he can pull off something today but not expecting much. I'm a huge fan of farmer. What a first day. A buffalo bills first rounder JFF and the best CB in the draft, who will solidify that freak tandem they now have. What a day

Praise for the Bortles pick from Jaguars fans was muted but it seems like most of us are beginning the process of talking ourselves into it. On a timeline for him starting, who really knows. The team has emphasized that Henne is the default starter so that whoever comes in doesn't have immediate expectations that come with it. That's different than saying "If you come in and practice and play well, you still wont be the starter." They seem to be at least trying to provide a good environment to develop a QB.

Shath Hole posted:I'm officially over my limit on college players, I will have to look him up. I've heard the name, I just don't know how good Attaochu is. He's the current all-time sack leader of the ACC (32 in 4 years). It's the ACC, but that's still a pretty boss accolade. He played mostly at Sam linebacker with some hybrid DE, so he's tailor made for the current defensive scheme in Atlanta. I want them to trade up a few to make sure they get him. He's on an increasingly short list of 1st round grade pass rushers with some experiencing at LB. It's pretty drat certain that they won't be drafting a safety at the top of the 2nd.

Dallas Cowboys OL draft picks in the last 10 years: 1st round: Tyron Smith - T Travis Frederick - C Zack Martin - G/T 2nd round: Jacob Rogers - T 3rd round: Stephen Peterman - G James Martin - T Robert Brewster - T 4th round: Doug Free - T David Arkin - G 5th round: 6th round: Rob Petitti - T Sam Young - T 7th round: Pat McQuistan - T EJ Whitley - C Bill Nagy - C I'm not exactly filled with confidence. Since this is a really deep draft for defense, I'm cool with solidifying the OL and having a core of a few great young guys for years to come. Especially since it's now more important than ever to protect the hell out of Romo! I agree about JFF though, it might've been fun assuming he didn't get destroyed out there

Frankly I think they could have gotten James in the second so not trading back was just stupid. Farmer will look like a genius or an idiot in three years. Gilbert is boom/bust as much as anyone else in the draft and JFF, well it's going to be interesting either way. Can't say anything bad about getting next year's first out of Buffalo. He fleeced the Bills but good.

Kalli posted:Either Henne will get injured or be bad enough that they put in Bortles by November. In fairness, when they actually picked Gabbert, they still had Garrard on the roster and the intent was to play one behind the other for at least that whole first season. Then Garrard's back went to poo poo and the lesser McCown was in no way capable of playing a full season at QB without the entire city rioting. Henne will probably not be cut three days before the season opener, leaving us with Stanzi and Bortles and buckets of tears. The Hennewagon will never be good but as long as Caldwell and Khan hold to their word that they won't be pounding down the door to bench him, they'll at least avoid ruining Bortles by week 3.

Zack Martin fuckin' rules, don't worry Cowboys fans. He could probably play 4/5 positions on the OL and hang around the league for 10 years. Every ND coach raves about him. But I can understand not being excited about OL that aren't like... amazing LT prospects but I think you'll be very happy with him.
