> [@Jules\_Andre](#): > > 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? Well, it’s not like they have tons of talent ready to go if not for injuries. ---

So Denver traded back up two picks to get Demaryius Thomas. Did they really think both Thomas and Dez Bryant were going to go in back-to-back picks? ---

23 (23) Packers - Bryan Bulaga, OT, Iowa I was in the middle of predicting this pick when the commish was walking up to the podium. He has short arms, but I had him listed at #7. Desperately needed. I scouted Bulaga specifically in Iowa’s bowl game, but came away not blown away, but he was still good. I was more impressed with Pat Angerer when Iowa was on defense. ---

I’m a bit relieved. The idea of the Ravens going from Mason/Clayton to Boldin/Bryant was a little scary. ---

24 (24) Cowboys - Dez Bryant, WR, Oklahoma The reason I compare him with Owens is because he has the same childhood baggage that Owens has, but is already displaying the signs of that kind of behavior. He’s also as good as T.O. was in his prime. Scary for all parties. ---

Denver AGAIN… and it looks like they’re taking Tebow. Tebow’s party sure thinks so. ---

Chaos! 25 (25) Broncos - Tim Tebow, QB, Florida Never though that he would go there. The wild maneuvering makes sense (I guess), all of a sudden. ---

I’m late to the party. I see the Packers got Bulaga. If he was there for them to pick, I woulda bet dollars to donuts that the Pack would take him. Aside: I can’t be the only one who has noticed that the Packers have almost exclusively, selected white O lineman. It’s very disconcerting to me that it just seemed to happen their entire O Line and backups are white. I’m very happy with the pick. Bulaga is somewhat limited, but he’s got the potential to be an anchor on the O Line for a long time. ---

Boo Tebow! Did the Broncos really need a QB this draft? And don’t get me started on my other problems with Tebow. ---

Prediction: Jimmy Clausen will have a much better NFL career than Tim Tebow. I’ll take bets on this one. ---

Wow, I’d have guessed there was like a 2% chance Tebow went before Clausen… at best. Interesting. I’d be happy with the Browns moved from #38 up to now to taken Clausen … for a bottom of the first pick I’m willing to roll the dice on a QB. ---

> [@SenorBeef](#): > > Well, it’s not like they have tons of talent ready to go if not for injuries. Yeah, it was a position of need for Carson Palmer and the passing offense’s sake, but they spent a 3rd rounder on the most prolific pass catcher at the collegiate level ever in Chase Coffman last season and didn’t play him at all because apparently the Bengals value blocking over TD’s from their TE position, despite a dearth (and death) at the WR position last season. FUCK! I’m disappointed in that pick. I wish we’d gone defense there. Fuck it, maybe he’ll work out and be the next Antonio Gates. Shit.
