The Glade 4.0

I am so hopping my Bills get a shot at Bryan Bulaga or Trent Williams in the first round at #9. I'm also hoping they select Bruce Cambpell in the second round with the 41st pick. This would shore up the OL for the next few years with last years 1 and 2, Eric Wood and Andy Levitre at guard, and Geoff Hangartner at center.

This is the first good pick I've seen the Raiders make in the first round for many years. Rolando McClain. He's a beast.

Damn it. Buffalo continues to suck. CJ Spiller is an elite half back, but on a team with about 15 needs, running back was a spot they didn't need with both Fred Jackson and Marshawn Lynch... but no one to block for them.

Damn it all.

The Denver Broncos are completely insane. Not only did they take Tebow in the first round, ahead of Clausen, but they traded up to do it, at the cost of a 2, 3, and 4 this year. That's the entire first half of a draft... In. Sane.

I was just thinking the same thing Ry. THey have Orton and Quinn... both good QBs. They traded down twice in the first round, and then trade 3 freaking picks to take Tebow?

That makes *no* sense whatsoever. Although, as a Secondary Ravens fan... I like that they got 3 more picks.

I am also *very* happy with Seattle's choices.

Did NE need a CB?

I coulda sworn they needed help on their Oline.

Their biggest needs were at WR and LB, but then again, who the hell am I to question Bill Bellicheck.

And yes, Seattle is having a great draft.

True true. Mom didn't believe me when I told her around the 10th pick or so that NE was gonna trade down, so don't expect em to pick when they're scheduled

I was amazed when they passed on Dez Bryant. I thought he was perfect there, and a great compliment to Moss and a Wes Welker who is recovering from having his whole knee run through a meat grinder. Brady needs weapons for that offense to fly, and I also thought LB might have been a possibility with Adalius Thomas wanting out, and them playing a break but don't bend defense all season l;ast year.

I made this face IRL when the Broncos did what they did.

o.O

Overall though, every pick (save#25) made pretty good sense.

Ideally, the Seahawks trade up to snatch up Claussen tomorrow. That would be awesome I think. We need a QB to replace Hasselbeck. Love the guy, but he's not gonna last very much longer. Or even McCoy would be good.

Other than Denver this was the tamest/safest draft I've ever seen.

Buffalo's pick made no sense at all. They drafted an elite player, but that was the deepest, most talented spot on their team going into the draft. They needed offensive linemen this year. Not a log jam at a position where they already had a pair of 1000 yard backs.

The commentary on this was the guy they picked was better than both of the backs they have put together. I could see them trading one of their RBs for someone they need.

Marshawn Lynch would be the guy on the way out, and Spiller is an elite RB selection, a homerun threat every time he touches the ball in the running and passing game, and there aren't that many of those who come around. Don't get me wrong, I'm high on Spiller, but we just have so many other needs at so many other spots all up and down the O and D lines, and we are shifting to a 3/4 this year, and lack the personel to run it.

if we can deal Lynch and get a couple more picks in the second-fourth rounds, fine, but I just don't see it happening.

Sometimes you draft someone you know someone else wants, because they have someone(s) you want.

Sometimes you draft because you get a boner whenever you see a player, regardless of whether they fit your schemes or not. See also: Al Davis.

Seems that they occupied his boner this year with cheerleaders. The Raiders had a pretty good draft this year.
