I'm MUCH happier with Ha-Ha than I would be with Pryor. Pryor just doesn't have the coverage range and flexibility.

But I am sour that we couldn't get Mosley. I'm calling it right now that he's an All-Pro. The league's next great linebacker.

The more I think about I think hes a better fit than Pryor because hes good in coverage. If they can get a pass rush going with Clay and Peppers and *insert front 7 guy who gets hurt all the time* then that will make his job easier and should help the team. With him and Hayward coming back the secondary looks alright.

I agree, if he stays healthy hes going to be a good player. Was hoping he would slip a little further.
 
Gilbert/Mr. Football and the Bills #1 next year(probably top 10). Great draft for the Browns so far on paper but Watkins/Manziel would have been insane...

They plan to let him compete for the nickel job. Guess he looked good in coverage skills at the senior bowl. Just not sure how i feel about drafting and converting everyone.

Ward was who GB was likely going to draft, because fuck nobody expected HaHa to be there

They did a good job with Culliver. Sounds like he'll be the nickel back but groomed to replace Bethea. I was really hoping they'd get the long-term partner for Reid this year, so I'm pleased. Donatell is probably their best position coach after Tomsula, so I'm very confident about coaching Ward up.

It's laughable how much more stacked the NFC is compared to the AFC.

Niners need to petition to move to the AFC. :icon_cry2
 
Bills on pace to have the best draft

Who did the Niners lose to in the SB?
 
How pissed are the Texans fans about the Vikings trading up to take Teddy>

Yeah, HHCD was the safe pick. He's a classic high safety and he also has the size to provide run support as well. Pryor is too much like Burnett and gets lost when he doesn't have the play unfolding in front of him. Also, Ha-Ha has my favorite personality of all the prospects: just a down-to-earth intelligent kid. Pryor...ehhhhh, not so much.

I knew Mosley probably wouldn't fall when there wasn't a run on quarterbacks and I KNEW once Pittsburgh and Dallas took Shazier/Martin consecutively that there wasn't a chance in hell that CJ made it past Miami even if he did go past Baltimore.

Overall I'm happy. Kind of bummed we won't grab Brooks now. Right now, I like the way Donte Moncrief sounds in the second. Maybe Jordan Matthews or Troy Niklas or ASF. The 2-3 rounds are just so fucking loaded; I love this draft class.
 
There was some money players all over that first round, goddamn. Really thinking, like, if you had a hole to fill, there was a really good chance you could have filled it at some point in that round

If your team fucked up, well, it was on them
 
brutal miss out for the texans. no way they draft carr. too much animosity from the fans if they do. they will wait for mccarron/murray/mettenberger in round 3.

roby is overrated and horrible. so glad the bengals avoided him and he got stuck on payton canning's team
 
The Dolphins would seem to be by far the biggest losers of the first round. Classic example of overdrafting a player based on positional need. You just don't do that.
 
Winners:
Cleveland (best corner, premier quarterback, future 1st)
Minnesota (needed pass rusher, best quarterback of the class)
Packers (perfect meeting of need and value, perfect schematic fit)
St. Louis (BPA both picks)
San Diego

Losers:
Dolphins (biggest loser, classic overdrafting based on positional need)
Jacksonville (can't hate, but yeah)
Jets (yeah..)

Ward's legit

Good range, great instincts and ball skills and good tackler

He'll do great for you

I hope so. Pretty tired of the secondary giving up back breaking plays in every season finale. Brock getting 'smirched by Manningham in the NFCCG, everyone getting shat on by Boldin in the SB, then Carlos this year... :icon_cry2
