I still could not believe that one of the best Guardprospects of the last Decade was still there when the Steelers drafted. Alan Faneca 2.0

Happy with Perry as a Packer, cause I didn't like McClellin. Now he's a Bear and I hope he won't prove me wrong...
Think it's way to early for grades and so on, but I like all the action with trades and so on which came with the new CBA. Now that you don't have to pay tons of guaranteed money for unproven players you can take more risks while trading into the top 10.  |

I don´t think that there is any draft move that could be critizised just from looking at the players the teams drafted.
I think the Eagles did ok moving up to grab Cox. Dt wasn´t a real need but who could argue about a player that makes a team better. Hoped they would draft up higher to snatch Barron or Kuechly, but I guess that wasn´t possible. Hope they draft a LB with the first pick in the 2nd round and Bernard Pierce to complement McCoy or a tackle with the second one. However there is one draftchoice I keep scratching my head, Brandon Weedon a first round pick? I don´t really get why they picked him that high, yes QB is a need for the Browns, but I don´t saw any team taking him before the Browns would have pciked in the second round. maybe it was a reaktion that Kendall Wright was picked two spots before them. I would have tried to trade down in that situation for sure. However they can get an ok WR high in the second, but if they drafted down a couple of spots they would have gotten at least one additional pick there and still Weedon and a capaple WR. |

Trading down for Weeden was really crazy. And he should be their franchise QB with 28!!! ? I think looser of the first Round are the Ravens, Raider, Broncos, Saints and Falcons with no picks. I think that the Rams did a mistake, too. With Broker they got only their third choice after missing Richardson and Blackmon. |

Ravens were smart, the only player they wanted that was available at pick 29 was Upshaw and we then got him 6 picks later and gained extra picks further down the draft. I'd call that smart work again this year! Would have preferred moving up and going for Hightower but when that wasn't an option I think Ozzie did brilliantly again

In my opinion the Ravens missed to get good prospect players, who can replace Ray Lewis and Ed Reed in 1 or 2 seasons. They got a lot of depth, but no players who can improve their team this season. I think the gap to the browns and bengals will get smaller in a very though division. |

Nobody replaces Ray Lewis and Ed Reed, and apart from Hightower the general consensus was that there wasn't anyone else who would come close to either player |

Nobody knows the grades of the ravens on their draftboard. I'm not an expert for the Ravens, but in my opinion they got not the maximum out of their picks. |

The funniest undrafted player is the chinese Long Ding
He has also the perfect position for his name. He is a kicker. 
I hope we will see this player once on the field and try a Long Ding from the 50+ yard line. |
