I’d take that deal if you’d agree to give me McFadden instead of Russell. I don’t want Russell on my team. The guy just doesn’t have the discipline to make it in the NFL as a QB.
For that matter, I would not be displeased if the Saints were to work a trade for McFadden. I think he’s got potential if he’s on a team with sane management.
Russell is completely useless. You’d have to include a draft pick just to give him away.
The 49ers website has a live webcam of their war room in Santa Clara. It’ll be interesting to watch that during and after the picks.
I have been wracking my brain to try to figure out what ridiculous thing the Raiders will do, but I have to prediction.
Rumor going around that Cleveland is offering a Ditka-like trade for the Rams’ #1 overall.
ETA: Guess we’ll know in 10 minutes.
Here we go.
Edit: Rumor is probably BS. I doubt that happens.
Goddell up! Draft is live!
1 (1) - Rams - Sam Bradford, QB, Oklahoma
Ollowing this thread on an iphone is already aggravating and awful. I lasted one pick.
Gerald McCoy has one hell of a watch on today.
Huzzah for 10 minutes per pick! Completely ridiculous to have only 3-4 picks per hour like in years past.
2 (2) Lions - Ndamukong Suh, DT, Nebraska
3 (3) Buccaneers - Gerald McCoy, DT, Oklahoma
Jumping the gun here a little, but the dude is crying. No way it’s anybody else.
I’m doing a little happy dance in my seat.
No surprises here but and excellent pace! Very good watch so far.
4 (4) Redskins - Trent Williams, OT, Oklahoma
Williams jumped over Okung only recently, and I anticipated this, based on chatter.
Just 2 more picks, hope there’s a run on tackles… the next two teams need them. I think KC can’t pass on Okung here, but I’m not sure what Seattle will do.
5 (5) Chiefs - Eric Berry, S, Tennessee
Looks like it, based on his phone call.
Fuck me, I hate #7 now. No one I like there.
Outside chance the Rams and Browns do a draft-and-trade deal for Clausen and Bradford, since rumors were the Rams were equally warm on those guys. Eh.
I don’t want Joe Haden, and the other guys I want are a reach at #7. Hope they can trade down 5-8 picks.
Fine with me, I really want Haden.
Same here at #6. Lots of Hawks fans not sold on Okung.
