    2012 NFL Draft Thread.

    ESPN's Adam Schefter is reporting that the Colts have told Andrew Luck that they will take him with the No. 1 Pick, which means that the Redskins will most likely take Robert Griffin III with the No. 2 Pick unless for some reason they decide to **** that up and take a Kicker.

    The Draft begins on Thursday, April 26.

    Re: 2012 NFL Draft Thread.

    So since we're all under the impression that Washington will take RG3 2nd, what about Minnesota at 3?

    There's been this assumption they take Kalil, I'm not so sure. They need a corner in the worst way, especially in that division with the other three teams featuring high octane passing offenses. And WR...don't even get me started on the lack of weapons for Ponder outside of Harvin at WR. I could just as easily see them taking Blackmon or Claiborne as I could Kalil. Thoughts?

      Claiborne would be a great pick for MIN imo, but I see them going with trying to give Ponder protection as well as another blocker for AP.

        I think they'll take Kalil as well, but I would seriously consider Blackmon.

          My next door neighbor Dennis Kelly (Purdue) is projected to go somewhere between 2nd & 7th round.

          His biggest suitors are AZ, TB and PHI

            Hearing reports that RGIII has attitude problems today. Funny they show up now.

              Re: 2012 NFL Draft Thread.

              Minnesota is taking Kalil.

              The real question is what are the Browns going to do. Blackmon would fill their biggest need, but he doesn't want to play in Cleveland, and he's not even the consensus #1 WR. Richardson is the most talented offensive player left, but he's a running back. Claiborne may be the best defensive player in the draft, but if there is one spot the Browns really DON'T need to draft, it's at Corner. Or they could surprise everyone and totally kill the entire fanbase and draft Tannehill. Or they could trade down, again, because someone blows them away with an offer.

              Honestly, I am pretty confident they really want Richardson, would be satisfied with Claiborne, and could trade down. If I had to guess, they draft Richardson.

                Looks like they're very open to the trade idea. I'm guessing Richardson as well though. Seeing reports that Blackmon has slid down a little and might end up in Jacksonville at best. Also sounds like they aren't very high on Tannehill contrary to what everyone speculated.

                  From the Milwaukee Journal Sentinel Website:

                  Recruited by some schools as a WR or safety but signed with Houston coach Art Briles as a QB and then followed him to Baylor. "Very impressed in every aspect," one scout said. "Athletically, which is a given because he was a big-time track star in the state of Texas. He carries himself very well. A tremendous leader." Fourth-year junior led Bears to 10-3 season in 2011 and 22-18 mark overall. "He's phenomenal," another scout said. "He's going to need technique work and fundamentals. But you cannot lose the fact that he's got feet, touch downfield with accuracy, a strong arm. He's charismatic and smart as (expletive)." Hails from Copperas Cove, Texas. "Everybody is just assuming because of the Heisman and the socks and all that bs. . . . they are ignoring a lot of bad tape that he's had," a third scout said. "I don't think he has vision or pocket feel, which to me are the two most important components of quarterbacking. He's just running around winging it. He's (Michael) Vick, but not as good a thrower." Finished with passer rating of 110.1 and 2,254 yards rushing (33 TDs). "He has better arm action and is more accurate with his deep ball, but he's not as good as Cam Newton," a fourth scout said. "As much as is written about his athleticism, his athleticism under duress in the pocket isn't even close to Cam Newton's. This guy, the only way he gets big plays with his feet is if he's got a wide-open field and the sea opens for him. He's got a little bit of a selfish streak, too. Everybody was laying on Cam, but for some reason this guy has become gloves off. He doesn't treat anybody good." Another scout also questioned the way Griffin deals with people.

                      That makes sense in theory but WR and CB are pretty deep in this draft. There is only one consensus franchise LT. Kalil would not only help Ponder/Webb but AP would benefit from better blocking as well.

                      I think the Browns are the first question mark in this draft.

                        I feel like the Browns should take Richardson. He's by far the best hb in the draft and he fits a position of need. Blackmon won't magically make McCoy better but Richardson will imo make the whole offense better.

                          Blackmon won't magically make an QB better.

                          Hell, he may not even be the best WR in the draft. I think we look back in a couple of years, Stephen Hill or Floyd are going to be the top WR.

                            i agree both are a need for the browns but both postions are pretty well stocked in this yrs draft but richardson is best rb out of the bunch and u need a running game to open up the pass game. we could draft richardson and we could grab floyd or hill and get the best of players in this yrs draft @ both postions.

                              And now there are rumors that the Browns will probably take Mo Claiborne.

                              I would be happy and yet disappointed at the same time. The thought of Joe Haden and Mo Claiborne playing on the same defense would be incredible, yet the offense...yeesh.
