Thought this was interesting, as I typically am not able to catch this show (class). Apparently NFL AM is asking all the beat reporters' opinions on who their team will draft on April 25th. They're doing it in sets of 8 and picks 1-8 are done so far, here are the results and the link to each reporters' rationale: 1. KC - Luke Joeckel 2. JAX - Ziggy Ansah 3. OAK - Sharrif Floyd 4. PHI - Eric Fisher 5. DET - Dee Milliner 6. CLE - Geno Smith (this is a stupid mock pick, in my opinion) 7. ARI - Chance Warmack 8. BUF - Cordarelle Patterson http://www.nfl.com/draft/2013/onthebeat#pick=8
Agree, that picked smacked of "People are going to remember my name after this ridiculous choice!". Arizona's isn't that bad though, could be worse.
Yeah the Cleveland pick is terrible especially after this: http://www.nfl.com/news/story/0ap10...iths-work-ethic-questioned-in-scouting-report
Wow Ansah at 2nd to Jax??? Really? surprised as hell by that and don;t buy it. I just think Jax's reporters suck as bad as their team. Warmack at 7 to Zona, who has horrendous Tackles? Not seeing that either. Plus.. they could use a QB.
I really hope the Jets don't select Jarvis Jones. I hope they make a Jets kind of pick, maybe an Eddie Lacy @9 or something.
Carson Palmer is projected to go to Arizona I thought. It looks as if most of these QB-needy teams are finding stopgaps (Kevin Kolb and the Bills, Carson Palmer and the Cardinals) so they can use their 2nd-round picks instead.
Ansah as the #2 overall??? No freakin way!!!! Geno Smith also doesn't make much sense, although the brown-stripes did just trade Colt McCoy to the Fruity-niners.
After watching enough of Smith, that report honestly doesn't surprise me......the better article I found on that page is this one http://m.nfl.com/news/0ap1000000156430/branden-albert-to-avoid-all-chiefs-voluntary-workouts/ Maybe there is still hope we pick.up a LT before the draft.
That would SERIOUSLY open up our draft board. IF that happened, I could probably, finally get on board with Austin at 12. We would still have 4 top 100 picks to find a stud CB and another very nice pass rusher....as well as a feature back, and maybe another TE like Kelce......DAMN I like the sounds of that!!!
