> [@SenorBeef](#): > > What did you want with Mingo? Do you just crave all SEC players or is he actually good? I think he’d be a good fit for the Saints, who are desperate for some outside pass rush help. With the move to the 3-4 this year, Mingo could have really made an impact. ---

Eifert is a pretty good value there. Falcons coming up to get Ertz? Floyd? Ogletree? ---

Son of a bitch…he goes in the division too. Hope I’m wrong an he’s a bust. ---

Omni… I think this sucks for both of us. We both get project guys, and Minny gets Floyd. ETA: Ninja’d! ---

> [@Gangster\_Octopus](#): > > The NFL knows how to put on a show, no doubt. Maybe it makes me a bad person, but all this contrived jingoism is starting to get on my nerves. Can’t we just say the pledge at the start of the draft and focus on football? ---

> [@wmulax93](#): > > Omni… I think this sucks for both of us. We both get project guys, and Minny gets Floyd. I’m just praying that Floyd is a one-year wonder, but I think he’s special. Hope he crushes Rodgers and not Cutler. It’s a little interesting that the Bears went with a big, oversized athletic OG while the Lions and Vikings grabbed inside pass rushers. It’s an arms race, hope Long develops faster than Ansah or Floyd. ---

I am really starting to think the Packers will go for Patterson or Lacy. ---

Wow… I thought Werner might fall to the second round. ---

Werner is gonna suck, another bust. Colts have had a rocky offseason. > [@Gangster\_Octopus](#): > > I am really starting to think the Packers will go for Patterson or Lacy. With Cobb, Nelson and Jones I’d be surprised if they went with another WR. Packers need pass rush too. Let’s see if the Vikes grab that LB here. Nope, Rhodes, probably a good pick. If Te’o crash lands with the Bears in the 2nd round, I may have to rethink this whole thing. ---

> [@Omniscient](#): > > No Steelers fans here being rowdy. Jarvis Jones? The draft isn’t even remotely exciting for me. If it’s a world-changing pick I knew about it months ago, and at 17 it’s not a world-changing pick. That said, Jarvis Jones is a good pick and a good fit. Throwing out the usual useless platitude now, I expect big things from him, which in draftspeak means that if he does anything he’s a good pick. The goal of the draft isn’t so much getting a Hall of Famer as avoiding a Ryan Leaf. ---

Off to watch game tape on Datone Jones. Seems like OK value. ---

Um, every NFC North team just grabbed a pass rusher. This Bears O line better shape up. ---

> [@Hamlet](#): > > they now have Kyle Long! I feel better about the pick after seeing what Minny and the Cheesedicks did. Can’t afford to hope Carimi and Brown develop into studs if either Jones or Floyd are good. What the hell are the Patriots doing? Do they hate high draft choices or something? Justin Hunter would have been amazing for the Pats. ---

Can it be? Minnesota pulls a Herschel Walker AGAIN for Te’o? Now THAT is worth watching the draft for. Make it so. [Previous page](https://boards.straightdope.com/t/nfl-draft-2013/655234.md?page=11) [Next page](https://boards.straightdope.com/t/nfl-draft-2013/655234.md?page=13)
