St. Louis Rams, Arrelious Benn, WR, Illinois
The Marvin Harrison comparisons are legit, and Benn brings added physicality.

Minnesota Vikings (from DET),Taylor Mays, S, USC
Gifted physical talent; Clausen is an option, but no sure thing.

Tampa Bay Buccaneers, Golden Tate, WR, Notre Dame
The Bucs still need a WR, and Tate is a great option.

Kansas Ciy Chiefs, Jimmy Clausen, QB, Notre Dame
Clausen falls, but this is a hunch pick.

Philadelphia Eagles (from WAS), Major Wright, S, Florida
The Eagles still need a safety, and Wright makes sense.

Cleveland Browns, Colt McCoy, QB, Texas
Holmgren gets his man, without having to trade up.

Oakland Raiders, Rodger Saffold, OT, Indiana
The pick makes a lot of sense, which doesn't always compute in Oakland.

Miami Dolphins, (from SEA via SDG) Sergio Kindle, OLB, Texas
There was a belief Miami could land Kindle at No. 12. Good deal here.

Buffalo Bills, Charles Brown, OT, USC
Assuming Buffalo keeps Spiller, they should get a tackle here.

Tampa Bay Buccaneers (from CHI), Chris Cook, CB, Virginia
A slight reach, but Cook is a good player, and they need a CB.

Baltimore Ravens (from MIA via DEN), Linval Joseph, DL, East Carolina
Athletic enough to play end in the Ravens' 3-4.

New England Patriots (from JAC), Daryl Washington, LB, TCU
Freak athlete with great range, a good fit in Pats' scheme.

Denver Broncos Donald Butler, LB, Washington
Denver needs an inside 'backer and Butler is the best option here.

New York Giants, Brian Price, DT, UCLA
With Morgan and Price, the Giants are a better defense.

New England Patriots (from TEN) Brandon LaFell, WR, LSU
Lafell can learn from the greats, and could be great himself.

Carolina Panthers, Dezmon Briscoe, WR, Kansas
Briscoe has simply produced, and has better athleticism than I originally thought.

San Francisco 49ers Dexter McCluster, RB, Ole Miss
Great change of pace from Gore, and behind an improved line.

Kansas City Chiefs (from ATL), Bruce Campbell, OT, Maryland
A steal if Campbell's performance catches up with his physical skills.

Houston Texans, Mike Neal, DT, Purdue
Texans still need a tackle, and Neal is a fierce competitor inside.

Pittsburgh Steelers, Taylor Price, WR, Ohio
Another possible second-day gem for the Steelers.

New England Patriots, Rob Gronkowski, TE, Arizona
More talented than this pick indicates, Brady will love this guy.

Cincinnati Bengals, Everson Griffen, DE, USC
Could go earlier. Talent is there, but so are consistency questions.

Philadelphia Eagles, Jon Asamoah, G, Illinois
Second-best guard available, a steady, strong player.

Green Bay Packers, Terrence Cody, DT, Alabama
They have B.J. Raji, but 3-4 teams can't pass on value like this.

Baltimore Ravens, Eric Decker, WR, Minnesota
They need more weapons and Decker is a guy who can make plays.

Arizona Cardinals, Mardy Gilyard, WR, Cincinnati
With Anquan Boldin absent, there's a place to grow in the offense.

Dallas Cowboys, Morgan Burnett, S, Georgia Tech
Dallas still needs a safety, and Burnett fits the bill.


Seattle Seahawks (from SDG), Carlos Dunlap, DE, Florida
They didn't address DE in Round 1. Dunlap's an easy choice.

New York Jets, Vladimir Ducasse, OL, Masssachusetts
More likely a guard, the Jets can use him for depth.

Minnesota Vikings, Brandon Ghee, CB, Wake Forest
Speedster could help as Vikes address secondary.

Indianapolis Colts, Cam Thomas, DT, North Carolina
Adds some muscle up front after the Hughes pick for the edge.

New Orleans Saints, Nate Allen, S, South Florida
Depth to replace likely-departed Darren Sharper.
 
He has Allen falling past us? Doubt that happens. Doubt the Beagles take Wright.
 
I'm loving this new draft format .... the second round finally gets the limelight it deserves. This is more like starting over again, instead of a continuation.

I doubt Allen falls that far ... certainly not past Dallas.

Maybe Jerry should sit tight instead of trading up for a safety.

Ditto.
 
Wow, that would be great if he falls to us there. I'd love Burnett if Cody isn't there

I hate it, but it's because I'm greedy and loved watching 8+ hours of draft coverage on a Saturday. That's a bunch of beer and wings.
 
If we get Allen or Ducasse, I'd be thrilled. Getting Bryant + one of those two would lay the foundation of a tremendous draft class.

Personally, I'd go OL if Ducasse is there. We need an upgrade soon, and getting another young guy in the pipeline is a real need, IMO. He probably won't start this year, but he might be ready in his 2nd year.

I also wouldn't be disappointed with Allen. We've long needed another guy back there, and Allen might be able to start day one.
 
I'm fine with Burnett. I don't hate him like some but if Allen is there I'd much rather have him.
 
Hate the new format. Some of us on the West Coast work during the week. Didn't leave work until 7:30 last night. Gonna miss most of the 2nd today.

Hard to imagine we pass on Allen to get Burnett but if this happened at least we would be in a position to get the guy we really want.

I hate it also. But I used vacation time to ensure I wouldn't miss a minute.
 
Wow, if that would happen with a shot at Nate Allen and Dez Bryant already in the fold. I'd kiss Jerry on the lips.

He has a special lip smack just ready for you.
 
i dont think we should trade up,pick the best safety available or go with someone like Ducasse.we can always move into the 3rd with some trades.

You're right man. I thought I would hate it but I love it.

The draft was absolutely perfect last night outside of ESPN's coverage.


I HATE when they have 15 players at the draft and they show every stinkin one of them of the phone before the pick.

The best part of the draft is the element of surprise and that hurts it.
