Donate | I dunno, it's clearly the WR flyer time. Everyone is going to get someone they like, because everyone likes someone different. I'm quite happy to see Avery, Simpson, Kelly, and now Nelson go off the board. I don't really care for any of them, and guys I like more are falling. I'm sure that's true for everyone. Hooray crapshoot lottery tickets! |

So I think you can say any are a reach. A few have some higher value if you include return yards...but we aren't. |

Donate | I like the Jordy Nelson pick. He wasn't going to be on the board much longer, that is for sure. Not a lot of experience at wide receiver, but seemed to be a natural when he converted. He is also guaranteed to get key reps in mini-camps and training camp as there will be QB controversy going on in Green Bay. |

Donate | Not too early for Simpson, given the fact that whichever rookie receiver steps up is going to get decent playing time in Cincy. Question is, is Simpson that rookie receiver? 3rd round Caldwell might be more NFL ready. |

Donate | After Sweed, the next 4 WRs could have gone in pretty much any order. They all have about the same chance at succeeding IMO. I was surprised Flacco (or another QB) didn't go somewhere in there. Given the 4pt per passing TD I can see QBs being devalued a bit but BAL moving up like they did in the 1st to get Flacco says they're going to get him in there, very soon. I think he has the same if not better chance at succession than the 4 WRs taken before him. |

Donate | Yeah I was surprised Flacco hadn't gone yet. I would rather have him than Ryan personally and figure they're both guys that should fall into that late 1st sort of range. I don't care for him much in Baltimore but probably would've had to take a starter by 2.7 if he was still there.
Here's hoping those 4 WRs go about there like you all seem to expect, and allow other players to fall to me. I don't like any of em. |

Donate | Charles Pick - Don't care for it at all, but with all rookie drafts these lotto ticket RB's always get taken at this time. I'm not wild about him as I think he's simply too small to carry any real work load at the NFL level and his fumbling problems concern me as well. |

Donate | Sweed, love the pick, it was a toss up with him and Thomas. In the end, Sweed's speed and the fact that he never fully lived up to expectations at Texas concerned me just enough to give Thomas the nod, but can't fault Sweed at all.
Simpson - Long term, this could be a very nice pick. The opportunity is there, he just needs to grab it. May struggle the first year or so, but if he can play up to his raw talent level the kid can be a star. But as with any WR in this draft, could be a bust as well.
Avery - Not sure what to think about Avery. I'm not real high on him yet, but the Rams obviously have a plan for him, and Bennett is not real realiable, so he should get some opps.
Kelly - Another guy I like. Has the size to be a threat and I think his game speed is better then his timed speed.
Flacco - Not a fan and see bust written all over him, but good value for the spot if you see him developing into something.
Torian - Reach, but so is everyone at this point. I think this pick is a waste, but you never know with Shanny. For all we know he could be cut in training camp, or go on to rush for 1200 yds....
Brohm - Love his long term potential. If you draft him, you may have to be patient, but I see him as the best QB in this draft and should have the most long term success.
Doucet - Getting thin on WR's at this point. Doucet is a solid guy, but I don't see him being more then a 3 WR in the NFL. |

Donate | The wrist surgery isn't a big concern to me, I'm looking long term on him, not immediate impact the first few weeks. I have not heard any long term concerns about the wrist. |

Donate | Nice pick by Bomb in Torain, that was the guy I had pegged for my upcoming pick.
I didn't like the Flacco pick, given that Brohm was there for the taking. I think Brohm has much more potential in the league. |
