> [@Rysto](#): > > I can’t imagine that the Vikings were planning on taking him. If they wanted him, why trade down a spot and lose him for only a 5th? It seems more likely to me somebody else was looking to trade up for him, and the Browns outbid them? Heard some speculating that Detroit wanted to move up for Gilbert. If they offered a 4th, it makes sense to match it and the Vikes only have to drop one spot. ---

Turn up the sound, Jets on the clock. My favorite moment of every year’s draft. ---

> [@Ennui](#): > > Nah, kinda think if Geno Smith came out this year he’d have been the first QB taken. No way. Unless you don’t know that Smith is a flop and you are looking at his career at WVU. IMO, Geno is going nowhere. The Jets signed Vick because Rex needs to win and now. Geno is just one of these great running QB’s with a good arm that can run circles around the college level defenses, but in the pros, they all fizzle. Seriously, who beside Cam Newton has met his potential as a high round/pick QB.? ---

There’s going to be a decent QB available when the Bengals pick…but they will likely take Verrett. Manziel to the Cardinals to back up Palmer for a year… ---

OMG YOU GUYS, a 5th round pick may not have been utilized optimally!!! If Mel Kiper doesn’t get his picks right, his bookie will send legbreakers after him! ---

The Jaguars pick looks dumber and dumber as Bridgewater and Manziel drop… I feel guilty enjoying it. ---

I’m counting three awkward pauses from Gruden after that fucking nerd Kiper interjects some ancient bullshit. Gruden on pace for a record night. ---

Browns tried to trade up to 11 to take Lewan to play RT. Kinda nuts. Glad they missed on that one. ---

> [@Sterling\_Archer](#): > > The Jaguars pick looks dumber and dumber as Bridgewater and Manziel drop… I feel guilty enjoying it. It’s like watching the Bills screw the pooch with EJ Manuel, only to be the only team to take a QB in the first round. ---

I guess Dennard isn’t well regarded by NFL teams. That doesn’t prove that Gilbert is good, but I guess it’s good that they didn’t go with Dennard who no one wants either. Anyone have any opinions on Gilbert? [Previous page](https://boards.straightdope.com/t/2014-nfl-draft/687634.md?page=10) [Next page](https://boards.straightdope.com/t/2014-nfl-draft/687634.md?page=12)
