I love football, but draft hype lately is pretty ridiculous. NHL playoffs, NBA playoffs, baseball...this is what I want in April. I'll check who the Cowboys end up with sometime later this weekend but the rest of it? You can keep it.

As a Raiders fan, I can pretty much not worry about the draft today.......

This can't be anywhere near as exciting as the WNBA draft was last week.

CommieTaoist: This can't be anywhere near as exciting as the WNBA draft was last week.

I'd say they were equally exciting. Also equally exciting: snail races, paint drying, Al Gore on CSPAN

THIS.

The new guy in Chicago can't make picks as bad as numb nuts Angelo did. It's like he tried to pick busts.

Not so much that Angelo tried to pick busts as much as he thought a player's medical history had no bearing on future performance and that Lovie could solve all character issues by staring passively at the draftee.

Angelo was good at finding gems in rounds 3-5, and sucked ass at rounds 1 and 2.

germ78		2012-04-26 12:45:19 PM

The first two picks have been known for weeks in advance. What is unknown is if the first two picks will take the full 20 minutes to happen.

Too bad the quality of players drafted drops significantly after round two. Would link to an article on fox sports about it, but I can't seem to find it.

Oh, I'm well aware that the gems Angelo did find were not exactly superstars. But the whole reason Bears fans were OK with the Cutler trade was because we knew that Angelo would throw away the first round picks anyway. But he could turn picks in rounds 3-5 into halfway decent starters (Knox, D.Manning, Melton, etc).

skinnycatullus		2012-04-26 01:10:52 PM

I'm watching tonight for one reason. Someone I know is about to become the only multimillionaire I know. Couldn't happen to a nicer kid. It's surreal, though.

Harv72b		2012-04-26 01:19:52 PM

Unless Ozzie trades up in the first round (doesn't seem likely this year), the Ravens won't pick until somewhere around midnight. I'll still watch because it's fun to laugh at the inevitable team(s) who screw things up.

Hoping we go O-line with the first pick, but a lot of mocks have us taking a pass rusher or linebacker. I'm okay with that, too.

ManateeGag		2012-04-26 01:20:46 PM

the Giants are going last. who the hell knows what will be left.

They'll be higher after they trade Osi.

All but 31 draft-eligible players in the universe?

could you narrow that down slightly?

Harv72b		2012-04-26 01:50:16 PM

Andrew Luck will definitely be off the board.

Will wait all night for #26.

Why Would I Read the Article		2012-04-26 03:21:55 PM

at #30, are the Niners going with Peter Konz, Kevin Zeitler, Janoris Jenkins, Coby Fleener, Bruce Irvins, or will they trade up or down?

Jenkins has his issues but getting the best CB in the draft at #30 would be awfully hard to pass up. Also wouldn't complain about the safe picks of Konz and Zeitler; we're thin on the offensive line, and extremely weak at both center and right guard, so both would fill a need. Bruce Irvins reminds me a lot of Von Miller last year. Wouldn't complain about that pick one bit.

YouWinAgainGravity		2012-04-26 03:22:04 PM

I hope the Redskins troll the f*ck out of everyone and themselves and either forget to hand their draft card in or take some completely random player in the first round.

Awesome. You actually narrowed it down significantly. So much that you might as well say it. Deduction is a powerful tool. =)

Sargun		2012-04-26 03:23:46 PM

Brees to Vikings for their first two picks, we pick Tannehill.

That's how this is going to go out, because this has been the worst offseason ever.

Shotgun Justice		2012-04-26 03:24:14 PM

Wow, the Colts will get two Mr. Irrelevants this year.

/Due to their glaring deficiencies everywhere else.

netweavr		2012-04-26 03:24:27 PM

Any Saints fans want to join the rest of us Raiders fans at the bar? I'm thinking of inviting the Falcons fans as well but... you know...

YouWinAgainGravity: I hope the Redskins troll the f*ck out of everyone and themselves and either forget to hand their draft card in or take some completely random player in the first round.

That would be such a surreal moment. Remember when the Vikings did that a few years back? Chris Berman was beside himself when it happened.

Jets trade Sanchez

The NFL is an attention whore who gets angry when you look at other sports.

All I know is that the Lions are going to draft to a position of strength, which means Quarterback, Defensive Tackle, or Wide Receiver. It's kind of been their MO.

lerxst2112		2012-04-26 03:30:02 PM

As a Dolphins fan, I feel we should trade spots with Buffalo and draft Mark Barron. We need safety help real bad, and the QB pool isn't as poor as it has been in recent years.

Could you imagine if Brees went to the Vikings? The NFC North Quarterbacks: Aaron Rodgers, Matt Stafford, Drew Brees, and Jay Cutler?

Five minute windows in first round this year.

Brees isn't going anywhere. He may sit the year though.

With the second pick in the 2012 NFL Draft, the Redskins select... a new Pepsi machine!

Are the Pack going to draft another OL? gotta say its been boring having upper twenties picks and grabbing fatties.

/i know we need them more than anything but still...

or you could do anything else ever, and enjoy life. what does finding out tonight or 6 weeks from now have anything to do with September, when football starts?

Who is going to destroy their franchise by taking Tannehill?

downtownkid		2012-04-26 03:35:07 PM

My wish list for The Browns:

Trent Richardson
Kendall Wright
Cordry or Decastro

Oh, no doubt, but it would be silly funny.

The NFL Draft is only fun to watch in retrospect. Exhibit A: Mel Kiper Jr. predicts a John Elway-like career for JaMarcus. And just listen to the Raiders fans cheer for him!

I would pay a good amount to hang with the random player they choose. some drunk coke head, who has no clue he is even in the draft. his reaction is "do what now...?"

Dolphins drafting Ted Ginn was one of the funniest things I ever saw, and I'm a Browns fan.

Why Would I Read the Article		2012-04-26 03:36:56 PM

My bold prediction for this year's draft is that the Jacksonville Jaguars will do something silly with their pick.

FinFangFark		2012-04-26 03:37:06 PM

watching the NFL network at the office before I head out. Geez Jay Glazer, for someone who claims to work out a lot, why are you getting so fat?
