He's incredibly raw (just a RSS) and the team that drafts him is going to have to be patient.
Better than one of Luck/RGIII/Kalil? You're the first person I've heard say that.

The draft could easily fall Luck/RGIII/Kalil/Blackmon/Claiborne. Who do the Rams take then? Personally, I think there's a significant dropoff after the top six guys.

Re: The Official 2012 NFL Draft Talk Thread
 

The one game I watched Griffin live he was terrible. Baylor didn't score till late in the 4th quarter against a pretty average OSU defense. I like Luck #1 Kalil #2 Claiborne #3. Hell I could be wrong about RG3; however, I just don't think he is the 2nd best prospect in the draft. He is a tremendous athlete but QB is the hardest position in sports to play.

I was wrong about Newton last year and I'll be wrong again sooner than later.

Re: The Official 2012 NFL Draft Talk Thread
 

I sure can. So much so that I'm willing to suffer through Directv. I want to see this kid develop. I feel robbed that I didn't get to see Cam Newton this year.
I told Weeze we can go into a football coma if we get Directv and she was all aboard immediately. She was just kinda pissed that I put up the HD antenna and went through all that crap and spent all that money for nothing. Fortunately I can still use it somewhere in the house. I just need to fix it.

RG3? Once again I am an excited Redskins fan, usually followed shortly by disappointment.
I have high hopes, but don't watch college ball to have an opinion other than what I am told about this kid.

Re: The Official 2012 NFL Draft Talk Thread
 

And that's fair. For some reason OK St. had his number both seasons (both played in Stillwater).
Nobody thought he'd be able to do what he did last year. I'll be the first to stand in line and take my helping of crow on Newton. I didn't think he'd amount to much; there were just so many things working against him.

Re: The Official 2012 NFL Draft Talk Thread
 

There was talk yesterday that Washington's trade for RG3 will be disallowed as part of Dan Snyder's punishment for taking advantage of the no-cap period when the CBA expired.
As it goes, Snyder was warned repeatedly to quit being a dick and he chose to do whatever he wanted. Now he's gonna pay the piper.
I'm excited to see how this story develops. It'll have to develop quickly with the draft coming, but as of yet, no official punishment has been levied that I'm aware of. I've been out of the loop for a couple days, so I'll have to check up on it.

Re: The Official 2012 NFL Draft Talk Thread
 

Holmgren got on the radio last night and said "it wouldn't be fair to Colt, he's our boy, etc.".
He finally iced the cake on what I've been saying all along, no qb for the Browns. They did make an overture, but let that die on the vine. They let the Skins close the draft spot trade deal without even talking to the Rams about the proposal they sent, or trying to counter. It must have been a really crappy offer is all I can figure.
If this Snyder trade is disallowed (based on no cap room, as in they are currently over max), maybe Holmgren eats his words and tries again?
Maybe Snyder can sue the Skins fans again and try to get some cap room?
This is such a wonderful soap opera. :D

Re: The Official 2012 NFL Draft Talk Thread
 

Whos watching?

Re: The Official 2012 NFL Draft Talk Thread
 

I have been but it's gonna be kinda boring now that the 2nd pick is over. Haha

Re: The Official 2012 NFL Draft Talk Thread
 

What is??? Is there something going on tonight???

Re: The Official 2012 NFL Draft Talk Thread
 

GO RAMS!!! I'm pumped about the trade! I'm praying Michael Floyd falls to 14.

Re: The Official 2012 NFL Draft Talk Thread
 

na, I'll keep watching to see if Nebraska's Lavante David can make the first round. So far the mock draft has been way off.

Also gotta watch to see the Chiefs and Lions picks since my Raiders pissed their picks away.

Re: The Official 2012 NFL Draft Talk Thread
 

Rams will pick Michael Brockers.

Re: The Official 2012 NFL Draft Talk Thread
 

Brandon Weeden to the Browns...............didn't see that one coming.

Re: The Official 2012 NFL Draft Talk Thread
 

Pumped about the Jags getting Blackmon!!!

Re: The Official 2012 NFL Draft Talk Thread
 

I like Blackmon, He reminds me of Randy Moss in ways.

Re: The Official 2012 NFL Draft Talk Thread
 

If he plays like the Real Randy Moss thatll be great. As long as he shows more maturity.:2

Re: The Official 2012 NFL Draft Talk Thread
 

Interesting that they took Weedon. I hope TR3 serves the Browns well.

Re: The Official 2012 NFL Draft Talk Thread
 

I never even considered Weeden going to the Browns for about umpteen reasons. I think they really may have done well with him, if only to have a future maybe on the bench.
I can see him playing real soon, it's his job to take. The whole deal just makes the Browns a better team, if only by raising the level of competition.
I was floored and disgusted with the Trent Richardson pick, but Stephen assures me he's the real deal.
I think Miami is happy with Tanehill, and Minnesota has to be ecstatic about Kalil.
I'm looking forward to the Browns getting better so they can become a decent ball club, that way when my Steelers crush them, I can thoroughly enjoy the pain in these Browns fans eyes. That's cruel, isn't it? I'm gonna love it. :D

Re: The Official 2012 NFL Draft Talk Thread
 

There were three (realistic) guys that I wanted for Green Bay. Luckily for me (and the Packers) the final name on the list is who they called at the podium (Nick Perry). As much as it pains me to say, I really liked the move the Cowboys made to nab Claiborne. This offseason they went from having a bad secondary to having a pretty good one (Carr/Claiborne).
