Who do you want your team to draft?

Rams
16. Tavon Austin WR West Virginia
22. Alec Ogletree OLB Georgia
48. Eric Reid S LSU (I kind of doubt he will be here this late, we may trade up here to get a S or G)
78. Guard or D.J. Swaringer S South Carolina would be a solid round 3 pick up
113. RB or WR. Ladaveon Bell Mich State or Terrance Williams Baylor

I have heard the Rams also taking Kenny Vaccarro, Eddie Lacey, or a Guard in round 1. Also, TJ Moe from Missouri in the later rounds.

Which teams have you called to try to trade up?

 

[Cydar]

From Rotoworld in regards to The Rams and Austin:

"It seems the Rams aren't content to sit there (at No. 16)," Casserly said. "People they've talked to in trades think the guy they want is Tavon Austin." As Austin has been linked to clubs as high as No. 4 overall, it's become clear he won't make it to the 16th pick. With two first-rounders and four selections in the top 78, the Rams have ammo to move up for Austin if they so choose.

hope Teo drops to Denver. Either that or stay at the pick and get a CB to replace Bailey in a few years or a DE to replace Dumervil.

A personnel man who works for a team drafting in the 20-32 range told us that his franchise will be passing on Te'o even though inside linebacker is a big need.

could be denver though.....

Could also be Minnesota. I'm really looking forward to the draft this year. As a Vikings fan, there are so many different ways that this thing could go.

said it wasn't the Vikings.

 

[dualthreat]

I'd be happy to pass on Austin, I actually don't think he'll will be as good as hyped. Hopefully we do pick up a good WR though. Having two first round picks this year is a huge luxury. Rams are fortunate that the positions they need are also deep in this draft

 

[dabears32]

As a Bear fan, I would be upset if they take Teo in the first. I would be fine with late 2nd but he may be the most overrated prospect in the draft.

 

[Daserop]

just hoping that Jake and A.J. get draft with Jake McD getting to sign in UDFA.

Vikings

The big question is what they do at ILB. They almost have to get Ogletree, Te'o, or Minter (maybe add Brown as a 4th but I think he is an NFL OLB). I probably like Minter the best if they can do it by either trading down the 25th pick or trading up from 52 to get him in the 30-40 range or ideally if he drops to them at 52 (but its probably too big of a risk to wait that long). I like the value at a lot of other positions better in the early/mid 20s. Ideal at 23 and 25 would be Richardson or Williams at DT and Warmack or Cooper at OG. Any of the four could fall to those picks and would be tremendous value plus at positions of need.

I don't know if Austin will make it to #16, nor do I really want him. I'd love Vaccarro and Ogletree, but don't think the Rams can come out of the 1st round with zero offensive help.

I like the idea of picking up Bell in the 4th rather than Lacy in the 1st. I don't see much of a difference between the two as NFL prospects.

 

[Cyclonesince78]

If Teo goes to the Vikings, I may be done with the NFL.

 

[WhatchaGonnaDo]

I've prayed to every deity possible that the Packers don't pick Teo, don't really even think it's a possibility but that's how much I don't want him. I'd like to see them pick up Eddie Lacy. Enough of this RB by committee bs

 

[BuffettClone]

I love the anti-Teo sentiment on here, nobody wants their team to pick him no matter what team they support. I have a feeling he's going to be a defensive version of Tebow...a huge distraction and not good enough to make it worth while

 

[CycloneNorth]

After how last year's Vikings draft turned out I'm excited. It is unbelievable how opposite the Vikes and T-wolves are when it comes to the draft. In Rick Spielman I trust

 

[Cy$]

If Teo goes to the Vikings, I may be done with the NFL.

rumor has it the Vikings will take Te'o if he slips past the Bears at #20.

 

[demoncore1031]

This Kentucky Team is Different mock has Minnesota taking... Justin hunter (WR- Tennessee), kawaan short (DT- purdue), manti te'o, terrance Williams (WR-Baylor), Dwayne gratz (CB-UConn), landry jones, corey broomfield (DB- miss. st. - deon's brother), nico Johnson (LB- Alabama), marcus davis (WR- Virginia tech) and rex burkhead (RB- Nebraska)... pretty interesting that there are no O-Linemen taken here. I like the 3 WRs, te'o and Johnson at LB and some good DBs, but we really need a good O-Guard IMO

 

[demoncore1031]

Not Againâ sure how the hell I posted the wrong link... this mock also has knott going in rd 6 to the giants, and klein to Washington in rd 6, just a few picks after knott. this mock is horse crap!!! klein will go in rd 4 or 5. knott will go 7th or undrafted

 

[demoncore1031]

ugh I give up. its not posting the right link... nevermind. I need sleep!!!
