You got it wrong. The price just went up. That's all.

Fowler. Meh.

I like him best of the edge rushers, but I would not leave Williams or Cooper on the board to pick him.

Nope the Titans genuinely like and want Marcus. He's the new face of the franchise.

Honestly thought they would take Cooper, but glad he's not in the AFC south now.

There was no way for the Raiders to go wrong here. Getting Cooper for Carr is big for that offense.

Agreed 100%. I think they will be a scary combination.

You guys need to be in IRC, there's actually quite a few people.

That was a big offensive lineman sized lady arm next to Winston's head right there.

Scherff? Leaving Williams on the board?

lol wut

I'll feed you little bird

If Gumbie shows up in IRC then Legion will be the only one not there.

"I'm just blessed" is not a legitimate answer to EVERY question, Jameis.

He's going to lean on Jesus for a while. That's the work of a PR person there.

Well there goes White. DeVante next WR on the board.

Speaking of blessed, pray for me. My slimmed-down cable package no longer has NFL Network, so I had to watch the first nine picks with Boomer and Kiper.

That said, the ESPN guys ripped the ATL pick of Vic Beasley. I think the Panthers can safely start Michael Oher at LT for those two games this season.

Well, sh*t. So much for Louisville-North, Vikings. :p

Please not Cleveland... DeVante deserves better.

EDIT: Whew.

Hm, Miami, another team to casually cheer for now.

I'm out for tonight. Think the next batch of Louisville guys are projected round 2/3

They're gonna have to. Arizona swiped your tackle one pick ahead of the Panthers!

Breshad Perriman at 26. Got to love when the best player available addresses a serious need.

First Round NFL Selections:
9 from the ACC
9 from the Pac-12
7 from the SEC
3 from B1G
2 from American
2 from Big12

Feeling optimistic about the Lions so far. 2 starting guards with one draft pick is not too shabby.

I'm pretty happy with the fact that my mock draft's top 10 picks are the 10 exact players who went top 10. The actual order was different, but correctly identifying the top 10 players in the draft is pretty good, I think.

And now the real fun begins... there are still some great players left on the board. Some big boom or bust guys too, at least one of them should pay off.

Well one of them won't be a starting guard, with Larry Warford there too. I expect Ramirez may slide back inside to center.

Am I the only one who feel's that the way things are set up currently there's little to no chance of drama in the first round anymore? Like it's going to always be like a Zach Snyder comic book movie; it's going to follow a previously written plot with the visuals established well in advance? Maybe there's a slight variation here and there from what has been written, but the first round will line up with what's been already published?

I think it was just unusually by-the-book this year, and that's largely a function of the fact that it's just not a great draft class. Weak draft class means fewer players that a team falls in love with, which makes for less moving around the board and less surprise.

Last year the Jaguars blindsided everyone with the Bortles selection, the Bills made an expensive trade to go after Sammy Watkins, Cleveland traded up not once, but twice to go after Justin Gilbert and Johnny Manziel because Cleveland, and Teddy Bridgewater tumbled down the board until the Vikings slapped some sense into the rest of the league and moved back up into round 1 to get him.

Quarterbacks especially drive the drama, and this was a boring QB draft. Two obvious starting-caliber prospects, and then project city the rest of the way. Nobody in-between.

Hmm. The folks at Bleacher Report REALLY don't like the Breshad Perriman pick.
