Adam Schefter said the Browns tried very hard to move up to #11. Interesting if true. ---

I kinda doubt the Giants are taking Donald. ---

Rumor that Browns are feeling out a trade up. Mosley and Gilbert would make for a really formidable defense. Or Clinton-Dix and have a ridiculous secondary. ---

Ahhhh, why can’t I just fast forward to my teams pick? This is amazing and killing me. ---

This has been a fascinating draft. If Manziel actually gets drafted by Dallas, the earth and heavens will open up and the end times will spill forth. Can’t wait ---

> [@SenorBeef](#): > > A 5th round isn’t going to change Minnesota’s mind about taking him if they really like him. Maybe you make a bid if you think someone else will trade up to Minny and take him. Of course, a 5th rounder isn’t much - but by only moving down 1 slot, Minny knows they’re going to get who they want, so it’s essentially a freebie. > > So if someone in the mid-teens was trying to trade up for Gilbert, then it makes sense. I have to assume that’s a possibility since why else do it? In any case, a 5th isn’t that big a deal. Agree with everything you said. Not sure if my answer didn’t indicate that. I think Cleveland just gave Minnesota a free pick. Cleveland must have had him rated high. So for them, to give up only a 5th rounder to get the guy they wanted was a bargain. That trade also pre-empted anyone else from trading with Minnesota, like you said. So, I think both teams made out. Even though I think Cleveland gave that pick away, there is no way to know what Minnesota would have done. The Pittsburgh Steelers select… Johnny Football! ---

Better that than Emery passing on him. Still a damn tragedy. ---

Steelers will get the CB from Michigan St. Or VA Tech, just like I predicted. Unless they take a flyer on Johnny Football, but they won’t. ---

I would have liked Fuller, but I’m not heartbroken. Good pick for the Bears at an open spot on the team. ---

Not thrilled. He’s a reach. Not convinced he better than Dennard. At least it wasn’t Pryor. ---

Steelers take Shazier at 15. Johnny Football has fallen into Dallas’ lap. ---

Did I hear that right? Shazier ran a 4.35 40? Was this a reach? I don’t recall hearing about Shazier in the 15 range. ---
