Lets make thus the official thread for talking the NFL draft...non Ravens thoughts.

Gregg has the Ravens draft thread going.

[Mackus]

I think the Colts will take Andrew Luck with the first pick. He's a quarterback from Stanford.

You heard it here first!

Bold prediction #2: The Redskins will take QB Robert Griffin III out of Baylor University with the 2nd pick.

[SportsGuy]

A big run of defensive line guys will start around pick #10 till the mid 20s.

Browns trade up one spot to #3..they trade a 4th, 5th and 7th rounder to do it.

They likely end up with Richardson...then get Hill or Wright with 22nd pick IMO.

Cle gettin good.

[BSLChrisStoner]

I'm sure Richardson is looking forward to 25% of his schedule being against the run defenses of Baltimore, and Pittsburgh.

The Browns should use that 22nd pick to trade with NE for Mallet.

[BSLChrisStoner]

Well... maybe not the 22nd pick for Mallet, but they should pursue him.

The talk is that he is the best RB prospect since APete. Would prefer him to not be in the division. Hopefully his old teammate will be tackling him in Baltimore, not Pitt.

[Chris B]

Great trade by Minnesota.

[SportsGuy]

Jax trades up to get Blackmon...TB trades back even though Claiborne is there.

[SportsGuy]

And Dallas has traded up to the 6th pick!

Dallas only gives up a second rounder to move from 14 to 6.

Rams continue to stock up picks.

[JeremyStrain]

There are a LOT of trades, but I question STL for dropping 8 spots for just a 2nd and missing out on the WR/OL they need. I think they could have gotten more and it was kinda lazy after the haul they got from us.

Thy must not love either of them as much as people think. Not a lot of difference this year.

TB getting Barron is huge.

I actually really liked that deal for STL. THey need picks/players/depth.

Miami takes Tannehill...do they sit him for a year or 2?

[Chris B]

Miami takes Tannehill...do they sit him for a year or 2?

I'm guessing a training camp tossup between him and Moore.

[SportsGuy]

Carolina gets Kuechly..awesome pick.

[Chris B]

Kuechly does to the Panthers.
