Pouncey woulda looked good in Denver too. We need a center, and he was a good’n. ---

> [@garygnu](#): > > 18 (18) Steelers - Maurkice Pouncey, C, Florida > > Good pick, and one that was predicted by many mock drafts. I’m thrilled by it. He has the toughness the line needs too. I know they need a corner but I think there are some options they like that will be available in the next round(s). ---

Hehe O-line and D-line going all over the place, QBs and WRs losing millions by the minute; this is my kind of draft, I guess the league is finally listening to me. ---

Wow, they passed up on Kyle Wilson. ---

20 (20) Texans - Kareem Jackson, CB, Alabama Wow, not Wilson? Jackson is pretty darn good, but I like Wilson better. The Texans needed a CB. I had Jackson way down at 37. ---

Bloody hell. I really think we would have seen the Steelers move up and take Kareem Jackson in the 2nd if he had made it there. Texans pulled the rug out from under that plan. ---

Where’s Clausen going to end up now? Minnesota? I guess Denver is an option. If Clausen is any good, I wouldn’t mind trying to move into the mid-20s to grab him. ---

21 (21) Bengals - Jermaine Gresham, TE, Oklahoma Good work on that mock, **Rocket Surgery**. ---

Yeah, well, need to try something. I didn’t like Clausen at #7 but at #24 or something maybe. Holmgren has been praising McCoy but he feels like a high chance of busting. ---

Clausen to Arizona? ---

Wow. I stand corrected. Maybe Dez IS going to Denver. I had an outside hope McD would trade back up a little bit to get him, but I didn’t want to even whisper that, lest I jinx it. Of course, now I may have just jinxed Dez going to Denver. ---

The Bengals needed a TE because of injuries at the position last season… So they drafted a TE who missed last season with an injury? Is that true? Did that just happen? ---

22 (22) Broncos - Demaryius Thomas, WR, Georgia Tech Traded with the Patriots for this. I’m surprised, very. I figured if teams passed on Dez Bryant, they’d go with Golden Tate. ---

Anticipation is building in Who Dat Nation. I’m thinking they’ll go with an OLB, but I would not be at all displeased with Mt. Cody. 32 overall may be too high for him, but Saints need a run stuffer in the middle… ---

Well, they got a WR, but not Dez. Wonder why he traded up two spots to pick up Demaryius Thomas. ---

> [@asterion](#): > > Well, they got a WR, but not Dez. Wonder why he traded up two spots to pick up Demaryius Thomas. Yeah, WTF? was there really any threat of him going in those 2?
