I'm not a Bills fan but I follow them due to proximity. They made a decent pick with Dareus. With so many holes on the team starting with stopping the run isn't a bad start.
I'll be interested to see how this draft plays in terms of the QB position. A read an article awhile back saying that this year in particular every QB prospect has a glaring flaw.

I was surprised the Titans picked Locker because his style of play reminds me exactly of Vince Young. I'm gonna go out on a limb here and guess that Reid will pick a lineman for the Eagles
Julio Jones, baby! Gave up a lot but I still like the trade. Hawks moving on to round 2 of the NBA playoffs over an Orlando team every ESPN analyst picked to dominate us. Great day for Atlanta sports.

Do you like that pick? I'll admit, I have zero idea about the Falcons' needs but I didn't think another offensive skill piece was the answer. They've already got a legit #1 WR in White, a great RB, one of the best pass-catching TEs in the NFL, a solid QB...did they really need another high-octane offensive player?
Not being snarky here, just really curious. People seem to be praising this pick but it seemed really strange to me.
People are excited by players at the fantasy positions. Oooh Julio Jones I know him from Alabama. That kid played on a broken foot!

I'm happy with Dallas picking Tyron Smith out of USC. He should be a solid OT for several years to come. Prince Amukamara would have helped out the weak secondary alot, but maybe we will still be able to land Aaron Williams from Texas in the 2nd round.

As an Iggles fan, I'm happy the Cowboys couldnt get Prince Amukamra, but the Cowboys still got a great pick with Tyron Smith. I'm pretty happy with the o-lineman the eagles drafted, but I'm hoping they go for defense with their next pick.
Julio Jones will give the Falcons a great WR to play alongside Roddy White. I can't believe how much the gave up to draft him though.

I kind of expected New England to take Mark Ingram with one of those two late first round picks. Their running game was horrible against the Jets in that last playoff game.

I'd be pissed if I'm a Falcons fan, that's a shit ton to give up for Jones. He's a deep threat, right? Matt Ryan doesn't throw deep well. I remember looking it up last year because a lot of people fawn over Ryan for stupid reasons, but he was like 28th among quarterbacks in yards per attempt. I don't really get the trade.
We gave up a lot, but I think Julio Jones is well worth it. We definitely needed another good receiver beside Roddy White. Julio will make an immediate impact so I think it will end up paying off.
Thomas Dimitroff: “We’ve been talking about this over the last month. Mike and I have spent a lot of time analyzing the players throughout the draft, not only in the first round but throughout the draft. That’s obviously one of the things that played into us being aggressive, knowing that it was going to cost us in this year’s draft and in next year’s draft. Again, something that we were very comfortable with as an organization. We are very fortunate to have an owner in Arthur Blank who is generous. There aren’t that many owners who would be in favor of moving up as far as we did. Financially, it’s a bold move as well and we appreciate that from Arthur Blank. Again, we feel like Julio is going to be a fine addition to our offense and he is going to be worth the move that we made up to get him at six.”

I'd hope the GM likes the pick.
Also, why in the hell did the Patriots trade their pick instead of taking Ingram? I really can't make any sense of that.

I think because they picked up another pick before #75 and they grabbed a first rounder for nxt year which will prolly land within the same range 22-32. I hate the Pats but Bellicheck is pretty proficient at the draft.
Also happy the Pack picked up another lineman. Sherrod probably won't be exceptional at his position but from what I've read he can play multiple positions on the O Line well.
PS To bad for Bowers. I hope he gets picked up in the second round and this knee condition of his doesn't fuck his career up.
Ugh so uh how bout that Whitehurst kid. Bet he'll lead y'all to the promise land.
The D and the OL worry me much more than QB. The Seahawks really needed to shore up the offensive line, add another player along the D-line, and add a shut-down corner. Trufant isn't really a #1 CB at this point, though he has his moments. In addition, Mallet and Kaepernick are both still out there, but regardless, I think there's about a 90% chance you see Carson Palmer in Seattle next year. I think Seattle goes for a DB with their second round pick, then moves their 5th rounder plus a 3rd next year for Palmer.
I'm impressed by the breakdown. I was just taking a cheap shot at quarterback because that's the only place the Rams are set. Every team in our division has huge holes at a bunch of positions. If the Cardinals can steal Kolb, I'd put my money on them to win the division.
