Oakland really needs a 1st round FG kicker. ---

I wonder if that means Sheldon Brown is willing to move to FS, because I don’t see them sitting either Brown or Wright, they’re both good. ---

McClain, you’re the wrong man in the wrong place at the wrong time. ---

Wow. This is a great pick by Buffalo. Spiller is a stud. I was counting on the Raiders reaching far beyond McClain. I wanted him on the Broncos. Stupid Raiders. ---

Isnt McClain really slow? Are we sure the Raiders just made that pick? ---

9 (9) Bills - C.J. Spiller, RB, Clemson Holy Moly, didn’t expect that. And damned quick, too. McClain ran a slow 40, but watching him on tape, he doesn’t look slow. Now we get to see if Jacksonville go with Tebow right off the bat. ---

> [@SenorBeef](#): > > I’m not a big fan of drafting CBs really high Why not? 1st round talent at CB is defensive gold. And…the Browns defense needed a DB. I don’t know much about Haden, but now that Holmgren has the reins, surely you can put more faith in his decisions than in the previous regimes. ---

Damn, I hate to see Spiller in the AFC East. That will suck twice a year. ---

I don’t know much about Haden, but now that Holmgren has the reins, surely you can put more faith in his decisions than in the previous regimes. I think CBs are devalued as the passing rules change. Actually - I think most very good CBs are devalued, but the really great ones who can still operate well in that environment (There are like 3-4 in the NFL now maybe) become even more valuable. Well, that, and all the disguised coverages and zone schemes that keep the corners from just locking down a guy. I think you can get by pretty well having lots of decent corners and no really great ones. I think a versatile, elite safety is a more valuable player to a defense these days. ---

10 (10) Jaguars - Tyson Alualu, DT, Cal Supposed to be good, but I had him way down in the 40s. First big surprise. Could Bulaga fall to the Niners? ---

That was the first significant surprise of the draft. Btw **garygnu** , don’t worry too much about Haden - you’ll get Kyle Wilson who’s supposed to be about as good anyway. ---

> [@RikWriter](#): > > 9ers have got to be picking Morgan. Or Clausen. Morgan doesn’t really fit their 3-4 scheme. At least it only cost a 4th. 11 (11) 49ers - Anthony Davis, OT, Rutgers Whew. Mel Kiper doesn’t like the reach, but it’s a player obviously a guy the Niners really, really wanted. Bulaga has short arms anyway. ---

Why trade ahead of the Fins to get a player they weren’t gonna take? ---
