Cam Newton goes #1. Not sure how I feel about that, Carolina has more problems but maybe hes just a winner.

Redskins trade pick #10 for ...
Guess they aren't telling us. Seems to be the Jags #16 pick, hopefully more but knowing the 'Skins, probably not.

Why would you select a QB who is similar to the guy you just got rid of? Titans are dumping Young and replacing him with Locker--it's same type of player. Just seems odd--but fitting for a team with USFL style uniforms and love poor passing QB's--McNair, Young, and now Locker.
Ponder with 12th pick is absurd. When you hear "He's a lot like Chad Pennington" and it's the 12th pick--not good. Donovan McNabb is on his way to Twin Cities Queen fans! LOL
I liked Browns draft--they abuse Falcons who get a great player in Julio Jones--but is anyone worth that much? Ditka like fetish over Ricky Williams was a complete BUST, but this player is superior to Williams, and makes sense opposite of Roddy White--but man that was a lot to give up.

i can't find any logical reason for the vikes to draft ponder at that point. take any deal to trade back a few picks. nobody was taking him that high. i honestly like dalton much more. at that point, IMO they should have taken fallers like prince, fairley or bowers. i would have even liked pouncey given the mess that is the vikes oline. they better hope they can hold on to edwards, leber and rice. if not, they have huge holes to fill on top of needed db's and o-lineman.

"Like Pennington, but not quite as accurate." If that doesn't scream 12th pick, I don't know what does....

Well, apparently staying in school for his senior year didn't really hurt Locker. As for the Browns, I love both trades. Sure they moved down a lot on the trade with the Falcons. But when you get that many picks you have to do it. I don't like he Falcons giving up that much. But since I'm moving to the ATL this summer, it should be fun to watch White and Jones catching balls from Matt Ryan. I like the second trade because it gave a pick to the Chiefs. Don't know much about Jon Baldwin, but the Chiefs sure needed someone to take the pressure off Bowe. |

Locker is a homeless man's Vince Young, and Vince Young was a homeless man's, well, quarterback. Would anyone have been surprised if Ponder wasn't drafted at all. I mean, he wasn't any good, right? I watched FSU games. This guy isn't good. Not saying Jones or AJ Green won't be good, but the success rate of 1st round WRs is so awful, trading up for one is kind of insane. At least Ricky Williams was a running back. |

The Ravens have apparently drafted some grotesque amalgamation of Charles Manson, Charlie Sheen, Lindsay Lohan and Osama bin Laden.
My only question is: "Can he cover Mike Wallace?"
I trust Ozzie.

I think after his Senior Bowl performance, Ponder was projected as a possible second rounder, and I know one site claimed that Minnesota was convinced that Cincy? intended to grab him with their second pick. I like the idea that Minnesota interviewed him and thought he was the best fit for the team (after Newton and Gabbert of course). What's inexcusable is that they didn't find a way to trade down and take him later in the first. Even if they didn't gain a single 7th round pick in exchange, they'd at least significantly reduce the cost of Ponder's contract with no risk of someone else burning a first-round pick on him. |
