2012 NFL Draft

[Hart5150]

NE is making the best of thier picks.

Chandler Jones and Hightower, If I'm a Pats fan, I'm pretty happy.

Don't think the Pats have any picks past the 2nd round though.

I loved the picks.

Look for them to move one of those 2nd rounders for more picks later in the draft.

Trading up to the 3rd pick to take a running back and than drafting a 28 year old quarterback at 21, shows you why the Browns have zero clue what they're doing and will stink for a long time.

Browns wanted a RB that could bang and bruise in the AFC North, they got him.

It's too bad they'll probably still be bad otherwise and when playing from behind you can't really cause many bruises running.

Running backs don't win championships in today's NFL.

He's a good player but not at #3.

Don't matter to me, I'd rather seen him go to the Steelers, if they could still get the guy they got !

I would have LOVED to see him in Pittburgh

Browns did what they could and planned to do all along.
The fact they were duped into moving up in the draft was kinda curious though, just to get the guy that the team ahead of them wasn't gonna take anyways, never gonna know if there was really a team negotiating with the team in the 3rd spot .

How old was Roger Staubach when he started playing for the Cowboys?

How old was Roger Staubach when he started playing for the Cowboys?

27. 5 years after he was drafted. Played until he was 37.

Weeden will be 29 this year.

Really ?
You sure, I would have guessed 25-26, he had to do his Navy commitment first.

He was at Navy '62-'64, started with the Cowboys in '69

I wouldn't mind him on my team, either. But, I'd never want them to pick a running back 3rd overall. It's about getting value and hard to find talent when you pick that high. Pass rushers, stud offensive tackles, shut down corners are all much harder to find than running backs.

That's fine, he went to a well established orginazation with talent, Weeden is not. By the time the Browns rebuild he could be 32. Nothing against Weeden, I like him as a quarterback, but he would of been more suited for a team like Arizona.

Before the Browns are done rebuilding they'll need to spend another 1st on a running back. The biggest thing going for them is they can run him into the ground before paying him really big money, if ever. Then he can go and sign a free agent contract that is less per year than the average kicker like some RBs did this off season..

That appears to be the career path of running backs in the current NFL, with a few exceptions.

Wasn't Brad Johnson like 50 when he was drafted out of Florida State?

 

[salsadancer7]

IF true...because you never really know of these stories are legit...it says alot about the class of the Cleveland Browns organization.

Report: Browns told McCoy they wouldn’t take quarterback in round one

Posted by Mike Florio on April 27, 2012, 9:41 AM EDT

Football wouldn’t be football if people involved in running football teams weren’t telling something other than the truth.(why didn't PFT just call it what is was...LYING!)

It happened in Cleveland on Thursday, when according to Adam Schefter of ESPN the Browns told quarterback Colt McCoy they wouldn’t draft a quarterback in round one.

The Browns picked Oklahoma State quarterback Brandon Weeden with the 22nd overall selection.

Though the Browns had to do whatever they thought they should do to make the team better, why say anything to McCoy about their plans? Even if he was demanding an answer, there had to be a way to defuse the situation without lying to the guy.

While they may not care about what McCoy thinks if he’s now going to be displaced (and possibly traded or cut), there are other guys in the locker room who may now be less inclined to trust the coaching staff and/or the front office.

And in that FINAL sentence, says it all. And they wonder why players don't show "loyalty" to teams or there is resentment and mistrust during CBA negotiations.

Hmmm.... Interesting.

Jeff Ireland: Experience all that separates Tannehill, Luck, Griffin

Posted by Michael David Smith on April 27, 2012, 9:16 AM EDT

After taking Ryan Tannehill with the eighth overall pick in the NFL draft, Dolphins G.M. Jeff Ireland said his new quarterback has the same level of talent as the first and second picks.

According to Ireland, the only reason Andrew Luck and Robert Griffin III were seen as clearly better than Tannehill is that they had more experience than Tannehill, who began his college career as a receiver and only started 20 games at quarterback at Texas A&M.

“If we had eight to ten more games of film to watch Ryan Tannehill play that position, I think we’re looking at him in the same breath as Griffin and maybe Luck. I think he’s got that kind of ability and arm talent,” Ireland said on the Joe Rose Show on 560 WQAM in Miami.

It could also be argued, of course, that if Tannehill had Luck’s or Griffin’s talent he would have had more games on film because Texas A&M wouldn’t have waited until midway through his junior year to move him from receiver to quarterback. But the Dolphins have Tannehill’s college coach, Mike Sherman, as their offensive coordinator, and they obviously believe he’ll be a franchise quarterback. Even if few people think he’s on the same level as Luck or Griffin.

And I had heard, in that SAME EXACT INTERVIEW, that Texas A&M, lead the nation in dropped passes. Something like high 70s in dropped passes. That is ALOT of dropped passes.
