I would be shocked if Brockers falls to 25. But it is the NFL Draft, so anything can happen. With Doug Martin, I think you can wait until the 2nd or 3rd to get a running back. But Doug seems to fit the team nicely. One to watch here though, is LeMichael James. Think what they could do with his speed, especially lining up out of the backfield against Linebackers. Manning could have a field day.
Wilson's size scares me, just like it does with Kellen Moore. Though Wilson has great speed and could break down defenses with it. Reminds me too much of Troy Smith and not enough Michael Vick though.
I know it's wishful thinking that Brockers drops, but I can dream. As for Martin, he won't be there in round 2 and Boise State produces some very good, under the radar players like Ryan Clady. Also, a true pass-catching back with Manning at the helm would be nasty.
Russell Wilson does have size concerns, but I think he's better than his eventual draft slot would suggest. Just hope he goes to the right situation so he gets a chance to prove himself.

I predict they'll draft neither of those guys without moving up a good 8-10 spots. Those two are too high on too many teams' draft boards to fall to 32.
And as long as Browns make the smart choice of going With Richardson, and staying away from Tannahill, they'll have a 9-7 year.
Well, they got him. Dumped a lot of late round picks to ensure it. Wondering if moving that one spot made a difference or if the Vikings were sitting there going, "Eh, we were going for Kalil anyway."

That's the point. There were other teams who wanted the 3 pick. The Browns had a lot of picks, so they paid my Vikings off. Kalil or Claiborne would have been fine for me, now I'm hoping they trade back into the first round to grab Stephen Hill out of Georgia Tech. Last two Georgia Tech receivers in the first round were Demaryius Thomas and Calvin Johnson. I think Hill will follow that trend.

I guess my thought on it is that the Browns basically made a position trade they didn't need.
On the other hand, I'm trying to figure out why the Broncos traded out of 1st round altogether for an extra 2nd and extra 4th. I realize there are advantages but, in this case, it feels like "picking at left-overs".

The Dolphins screwed it up like I knew they would.
The Giants surprised me by not picking a DE or CB.
Browns over paid for one spot, but they wanted Richardson, so I'm not going to fault them making sure they got him.
The one guy I wanted them to stay away from was Brandon Weeden...yet they find a way as always, to disappoint me. Stupid choice when so many starting offensive linemen were still on the board.
The Cowboys suprised me trading up so far to take Claiborne. but im not unpleased with it. The cowboys needed secondary help in the worst way.
But Jerry Jones is a cancer and makes a bunch of bonehead moves. If he weren't the owner he would have been fired 10 years ago with moves he has made.
But for once I agree with this move. It seems they gave up a lot but they need a shut down corner and Claiborne can be that for us I think.

The Claiborne pick was so good. When I saw them trade up, I thought they were trying to get up in front of Tampa for Mark Barron. Then when the pick went up, I even went into a slow clap. The kid has the potential to be another Revis. He dominated in college against SEC competition. There is something to be said for that.
The only thing that scares me with him is his attitude toward the Wonderlic Test. For the record, I think the Wonderlic is the stupidest test the players have to go through. But it is something they all have to do. Regardless how he felt about it, every player still has to do it. How is he going to react when coaches are making him work on techniques over and over...
His quote..
"I mean, I looked on the test and wasn't nothing on the test that came with football, so I pretty much blew the test off," Claiborne said.
So he scored a 4 out of 50. The lowest score in the past 12 years or so. Average score is 21.

I think my Panthers draft a DT or DE at 40. Maybe a CB. Definitely not offensive player. Its an easy formula, fix the D then find S. Smith's heir. Don't look for em to trade.
Was hoping the Colts drafted that big Tackle from Washington with that late 3rd, as it is we'll have to wait until the 5th to pick someone up for a Nose, doubt he'll last that long, then again we just draft offense again.

Romo at 91? Seriously? Tebow shouldn't even be on the list.
