Official 2012 NFL Draft Round 1 Thread

[HPF Bob]

I think Weeden is a better QB than Tannehill and the only knock on him is his age but could the Browns have waited until the early 2nd for him? Probably.

Broncos traded their pick to NE. Dicking us.

Calvin Johnson is the biggest guy that's been out there all day.

Perry, Branch, Upshaw...

For some reason, I'm thinking Cordy Glenn.

Texans on the clock so it must be time for a commercial.

[chuck]

Aaaaaand to a commercial.

[nunusguy]

He can't take both Perry and Mercilus (Illinois) - we'll one if we want him.
Check that - we can have either.

[Roy P]

OK...that's not to terrible. Wasn't a Hightower fan

You know I'm a Bulldawg fan....but "hush yo mouth" - I don't want Glenn when we can have Perry

I'm ok with Mercilus...not my top guy, but one of "My Guys"

[HPF Bob]

Well, McClain was right. Mercilous Mercilus. NFL Network is shocked but I'm not. He sounds like a great fit as long as he's not a one-year wonder. I don't think the Texans believed he'd be there.

[chuck]

That was almost too easy, both the pick selection and the fact that these dickheads would go into a commercial immediately before and after the pick.

I seem to remember some guy named Clay Matthews who was also a one-year wonder at USC.
Why did the NFL Network say they were shocked - they want us to take a WR ?

Because Maycock is a dumbass. He thought we'd take the TE from Stanford. He was sure of it, in fact. Everyone knew they'd go OLB. Except Maycock. Hell, even McClain knew it would be OLB and he's effectively shut out.

Mayock had his chest puffed and claimed it either had to be Hill or Fleener. Once the pick was announced, he went on a riff about how the offense needs more weapons.

[chuck]

Mercilus is not the most impressive guy I've ever seen on film.

Wow...I could work for the Packers.....Matthews, Raji, and now Perry were all three of the top "My Guys". I hope we can get WR Hill. Amazed AJ Jenkins went so early..I pegged him for 2nd-3rd round type WR.

If this guy is high-motor and high-character, I'll be happy. Let's see what he can do.

[HPF Bob]

Bronco fans wanted Doug Martin and now the Bucs just picked him with the choice the Broncos traded to them. Much weeping and gnashing of teeth. NYG follows that with David Wilson.

Fleener, J. Martin, Hill, Glenn, Konz, Randle still around as round 2 begins. If you wanted an OL, could be a good time to trade up.

That seems to be the case:
"plays until the whistle"
"good second-effort production"
"motivated to support his hardworking, Haitian immigrant parents"
"well-liked and respected by his teammates"
