smart trade by Minn

[MZ]

They can grab Clausen in the 2nd round. They're behind three teams that
won't take a QB.

would he be a good pick for them you think ??? this will probably be
favres last year and i dont think they are too high on jackson, so who
knows. clausen himsel would be a good fit for their passing game

Can you imagine what the Rams FO is thinking right now? THey could
have had Suh at 1.1 and Clauson at 2.1! But who knew?

The team worthy of ridicule is surely Denver. Denver let its
irrational hardon for Tebow cloud its draft day judgment. Geez...
they could have traded down, and not just a little, and still got
Tebow and more picks. Broncos have set themselves back by doing
this. Stupid FO there.

David, they had a boom or bust draft. I would never have traded up for
Demarius. Too risky to take a big WR who could not test out at full
speed and comes from an option offense. While I am sure he will be a
great blocking WR, that is not the most important attribute in a passing
league.

And spending so much for a Qb that everyone had a third round grade on
makes no sense either . I cannot believe they could not have traded up
later for less.

OTOH, if the two turn out to be stars, we will have to admit that Josh
is smarter than all of us "experts".

H, he & the GM either decided that Tebow is the only real choice at QB
and that someone might take Tebow if they traded down.

[Michael]

I think the team that made the worst pick was Buff. They have no
offensive line to speak of and they take a rb. One that needs a bit
of a hole. The Tebow pick was odd, but understandable given Tebow's
up side with the character-leader stuff and Josh being the supposed
next coming of Dan Henning.

[MZ]

What I really don't understand is why they added a RB so early with Fred
Jackson already on the roster. And have they been able to move Marshawn
yet? This will hurt his trade value if they're still shopping him.

yeah... those are some other reasons for this being a bad choice for
buff. it made no sense... it is good for the jets, pats and fish,
though... all three of those teams will have two probable wins per
season. the jets, fish and pats are gonna be in a three way death
match. by roster i rate the jets first, pats second and fish third.
that being, if the jets get the sanchez that they had at the end of
the season. miami wont be a big worry so long as they have henne as
their guy

[MZ]

The Pats have four picks today in a very deep draft, so I'll reserve
judgment on whose roster is better until then. In my view, the dolphins
are a clear third. But you never know.

debateable if you can consider the guys the jets/pats draft as players
at this point... the are unproven potential

[MZ]

I expect most first and second rounders to contribute pretty early,
depending on the position. Sure, some of them may not work out. But
some of them do. There are lots of unknowns on rosters, not just from
the draft. Even the Jets QB position is still an unknown.
