Official 2011 NFL Draft Round 1 Thread
 

Let's use this thread for our running commentary on this evening's festivities.

I find it odd that Carolina hasn't made it known yet....still holding out hope for a trade partner I suppose. If they take a QB #1 overall, that would be a mistake. AJ Green would make Jimmy Clausen a lot better. If Clausen was in this draft, he'd be a 1st round pick.

Ok, I'll guess going with Dareus, defense, no. 1 to Carolina. I guess could be any of 5 guys.

Ok, congrats to Cam Newton, I guess he'll do well.

Cam Newton

Blinn College is basking in the glory.

There is a reason bad teams are bad...

The good news is, a real player just slipped down one spot. :D

Looks like Von Miller to Denver, he sure looks good on hilites.

Now , Buffalo, I guess Dareus . And it is. I wish Texans could get a guy like him.

Patrick Peterson is still available...:D

lol at Cam Newton saying he is going on vacation.... Can just envision the Panthers asking for a do-over already.

Dude, now is when the work BEGINS

Now that there will be no player trades during the draft and the owners getting reamed so far in court and probably no reasonable rookie salary cap, I doubt there will be any substantial trades at the top of the draft.

LOL! I have a feeling they'll be wishing for a do-over for years to come.

AJ Green, great receiver to Cincy. So, a trade possibility at 5?

Hello, Cards, this is the Texans. How much will it be...

Cam reminds me of D. Culpepper's talent with J. Russell's work ethic. ;)

Pat Peterson to Ariz.

There goes my big hope! Hoping we have The Prince slide to us now.

Crap! Aldon Smith, welcome to the Texans!

waaaaaahaahhhahhaaaaaaaaahhhhhhhh

Texans flush their PP away.

I really wanted Patrick Peterson wearing Steel Blue.

Oh, well. Now we get to keep our draft picks or possibly even trade down.

wow, Falcons move up for Julio Jones it appears, trade w Cleveland

I hope not. Son of a ??LKJKOL

It's possible Arizona wanted PP all to themselves.... no trades....

Falcons just gave up a ****load for what amounts to be a #2 receiver.

:eek:

So, who is going to draft Gabbert?
Does Tennessee or San Fran take the next Alex Smith?

Well, there goes Aldon Smith. Wow!

You are all wrong, and so am I. Aldon Smith goes to SF.

woohoo.

Prince is available and Aldon is not.

I'd be shocked if he's not the pick now. Or a trade down with Gabbert still there.

Thank you SF.

Somebody sees something in Smith - surprise here, many thought his teammate QB Gabbert would go to SF.

Tacks take QB Jake Locker!?

Locker to Titans? Wow, that's interesting..... ;)

Robert Quinn is looking good.

Titans lol.:D

Forgot about Quinn...

Locker is the best QB in this draft. I'm not happy to see him in the AFC South. Give him two years with Britt and it's going to be ugly when we play the Titans.

Glad Aldon Smith is off the board and hoping somebody drafts Gabbert ahead of us. Give me THE Prince!!!

Redskins taking Prince or Quinn?...

edit: Ah, Gabbert makes sense....

Only 4 defensive players taken with #10 pending.....

Blaine Gabbert: The 2011 Brady Quinn. Sliding down the draft board with the cameras on... AWKWARD!

Now you say Locker is the best QB. I still think he is too erratic. We shall see.

I'm guessing we get a good trade down offer, but they may just take Quinn.

Wow, Gabbert in a trade up by Jacksonville.

Now Texans have some good choices incl Fairley and Bowers.

LOL! Jags trade for Gabbert!! New QBs in the AFC South!
