[Roy P]

The Saints steal Stephone Anthony. Pissed.

[Roy P]

Loss Vince Wilfork and replace with Malcolm Brown. Great pick. I hate the Patriots.

Hard to believe Indy didn't go D with their pick. Brown would've been a solid pick. Good for us.

[Keith]

Solid pick by the Texans. Would've figured they would be happy with Dupree, but I am going to interpret this as the team truly being encouraged by the progress Clowney is making.

Mid-first round is a great spot to get a solid corner. And guess what - our top competition in the division has a stellar WR corps this season and the Texans are going to have to get several cover guys like Johnson to help keep that under control. Andrew Luck will be the team's nemesis for a long time to come.

Bucky Brooks had the pick right

How did I miss this one.

[popanot]

I don't see how anyone could have a problem with CB, and according to some, Johnson was rated higher than the others and is the complete package. Time will tell if he can produce or not, but it certainly addresses an area of need considering our main division rival and with JJoe possibly in his last year. If the kid can play and we stay healthy, this should be a pretty stout D - especially if Clowney can come back.

I had mocked Gordon to the Texans and darn San Diego jumped us before I could find out if I hit it or not. �� Oh well, I'm hoping we can snag Abdullah or Duke Johnson at some point and add some youth and speed at RB.

As for the draft, that was about as boring of a 1rst RD as I can remember. Also, I'm actually glad TENN took Mariota. At least for now, I don't think they have the weapons to help him and it actually sets them back some. I was more concerned that Chip Kelly would get desperate and restock TENN with young talent and a bunch of picks.
