NFL's online feed did the same thing. And they did it with Bradford and Suh too.

[Greyroofoo]

If I was drafted by the Bucs I'd be crying too.

This.

[Passacaglia]

So why couldn't the Rams have worked out a deal with the Lions? If they wanted Bradford, and they know the Lions wouldn't take him, couldn't they have made the Lions give up a little something to make sure they got Suh?

I can't see the Lions agreeing to this when everyone knew the Rams wanted Bradford.

Then again...

Detroit wouldn't pay Suh 50 mil. Suh will get like 42 mil as opposed to the 50 Bradford will get at #1.

They would have taken McCoy or traded down, and Detroit would laugh at St. Louis being the new Lions with three DL first round picks in four years.

[k0ruptr]

I think washington should of taken Eric Berry, not Williams

[bulletsponge]

if the lions moved up to 1, they would have traded it to cleveland for a bunch of picks. now if Millen was still their gm, he would have taken Dez Bryant

I guess I just haven't been paying enough attention, since I didn't know the Rams were sure to take Bradford until I started watching ESPN a few hours before the draft. You'd think, though, that the Rams could at least have threatened to take Suh (since it's a much better pick IMO)

[k0ruptr]

dola, whoever gets Eric Berry is getting one hell of a ballhawk/hitter/safety

[Solecismic]

True. But an elite left tackle is far more valuable to a team. Sacks cost you points.

I agree fully with this, I just don't know if Williams is that elite.

Well, they never signed Bradford. So, they at least were pretending they might take someone else.

[illinifan999]

Did ESPN's sound mess up while Berry was on the phone saying he was going to be a Chief?

[DaddyTorgo]

awww look - berry is gonna get drafted next

*sighs* honestly i dunno why i waste my time watching the draft if they're just gonna ruin it. i'll watch something else and read a fucking recap.

I do know he is very well regarded, I guess I am just unsure on him from what tape I have seen.

[Solecismic]

I think this is a bad move by the Chiefs. He's a great player, but it's a luxury to take a safety at this point.

[Danny]

ESPN is SOOOO stupid

like it matters, showing him on the phone is enough.

Wish I had NFL network (assuming they even have coverage this year)

this is actually another good point. Okung would of been a solid pick, but we'll see. Although I like the Berry pick, I'm pretty sure Jim knows what hes talking about.

There is a reason Safetys are never taken in the top 5.

Considering the Rams got rid of last year's starter, Bradford has been a lock ever since.

[Schmidty]

VERY happy with Suh.

3 wins wins this year? Wooooohoooo!!!

[JonInMiddleGA]

Didn't we bitch about the phone call spoilers the same way last year?

Odd note, my wife watched the first portion of the draft just to see where Eric Berry went.

[mauchow]

Mel Kiper is 5 for 5 so far. Next up is Okung.

Agreed. Okung would have been a much safer pick. Not too keen on this pick by the Chiefs. Just seems a bit of a gamble given the Chiefs' lack of defense. A safety is not the place to start rebuilding the defense.

Yeah, well, the Raiders have to go yet....

[Solecismic]

The best LT in the draft is falling right to the Seahawks. This could be a big day for that offense, especially if Spiller falls to them later.

[k0ruptr]

Anthony Davis?

edit: im dumb, I see you meant Okung, which then I agree.

[Greyroofoo]

Is it just me, or is the nfl.com stream being wonky right now?

[Tigercat]

Do y'all have NFL network? There are two options that do two different things. ESPN is giving as much info as possible, including showing the calls. Some of us like that approach. NFL Network are the ones just filling the suspense time with interviews.

Yeah, I really wish we hadn't spoiled this year's whining about phone calls by whining about them last year. What's worse, we're spoiling next year's whining about phone calls by whining about them this year!

[k0ruptr]

ok, so is Charlie Whitehurst really a "key" arrival for Seattle? thats what the little nfl ticker said at the bottom.

[k0ruptr]

Yea, Okung is gonna be good imho. I think he is more of a lock at Tackle then Williams or Davis.

[Chubby]

2 more teams to dodge for the Bills

[Solecismic]

If the Brownies don't want Clausen or Bulaga, they should trade down.

[bulletsponge]

will the brownies take another ND qb in?

[illinifan999]

they also said Mike Williams was a key arrival as well.

[DaddyTorgo]

so i'm not going to have nfl network on FioS when i get that in my new apartment i gather...

[k0ruptr]

This is where I think the draft gets interesting, the first 6 were pretty easy to predict, now I think it switches up a bit.

[JonInMiddleGA]

So lemme see here, it's 815 and so far I've watched every draft pick get his phone call before the announcement, and I'm completely convinced that we watched the Rams fuck up mightily, the Lions get a once every 25 years kind of players because of it (being the Lions I expect they'll move him to WR soon), and watched the Redskins get mixed up & send the wrong OT's name to the podium.

That's entertainment .. I guess.

Yeah it keeps repeating itself last 10 minutes. *And* it spoilers like ESPN

Yes. He has all the measurables, and apparently did well for San Diego. They did this before with Hasselbeck.
