[dead_poet]

I wonder who the pick will be now at 40. Guys I have my eye on...

Xavier Su'a-Filo
Cody Latimer
Kony Ealy
Marqise Lee
Jason Verrett
Teddy Bridgewater (probably won't be there)
Carr (Meh)
Garoppolo
Jernigan

Crap. There goes Verrett.

[dead_poet]

Dennard never would had fallen in to the 2nd rd

There was a time where Bridgewater and Manziel would never have slipped to 20+

Someone should be there.

Browns are my new 2nd favorite team just because they prevented Spielman from doing something stupid.

Favre was quoted earlier on NFL network saying he thought Manziel was the best quarterback of the bunch.

Be interesting to see how we are graded after the draft is over .

Crap. There goes Verrett.

He's a fantastic player, I've watched him a lot. But I think Munerlyn plays the same role Verrett will.

I find it very interesting that we were in the mix for Manziel. Tough to beat a team w/ so much ammunition.

[radar55]

He still has plenty of teams left to do something stupid with

[King James]

Man we need to trade up for Teddy Bridgewater.

Draft grades are the biggest joke ever. Only worth doing after 2-3 seasons.

[Pondering Her Percy]

I have to agree: Calling Mosley a one trick pony is very off base.

A one trick pony as in he's a typical linebacker. Mosely has no pass rush, Barr can do that and more.

Might want to watch that. Whether is "kills" the discussion or not. Zimmer knows what he is doing and how he is going to use him. For us to sit here and say it's a terrible pick because we don't THINK it's a fit when really, its a great fit. He wouldnt fit in your typical Tampa 2 that Frazier ran but this is a whole different ball game now.

Zimmer says in that clip that he has him penciled in at like 3 different spots right now. Sorry but Mosely does NOT have that kind of versatility. Nothing against Mosely but Barr is a better fit in this instance. Zimmer likes thumpers in the middle with athleticism on the outside....it's been said multiple times. It just bothers me when guys sit here and say its a "terrible pick and not a fit in this defense"....like honestly....how in any way does anyone know if its a fit or not?? Sorry but I'm not buying it. Especially with a defensive mind like Zimmer

Boo birds out on that pick

More like "who?" birds. Eagles fans were like..."What did he say?"

[dead_poet]

@AlbertBreer As the attempt to deal up with the Eagles would suggest, Johnny Manziel was indeed the No. 1 quarterback on the Vikings' board.

[VikingPaul73]

I would like to see Deone Bucannon fall to us in the 2nd rd

You jinxed us Jeff
