Is everyone satisfied with the picks? I am feeling a little better with the picks that the Chiefs had. So far I would say they had one of the bests so far.
 
While I was initially very critical of the Cowboys taking Felix Jones, I'm coming around. I'm close to saying I like it, which is a far cry from what I was saying earlier.

I love the second and third picks.

I think the Bears should have drafted Brohm.
 
Chiefs had a great draft. I'm pretty satisfied with the Packers draft. Still scratching my head on the pick of the WR at pick 36, but Thompson usually knows what he's doing I suppose....

i wonder if thompson has a brain sometimes. jordy nelson over james hardy, limas sweed, or todd blythe? man really doesnt know how to draft at all in my opinion
 
The Lions and Millen screw the pooch again. Couldve gotten Mendenhal, but get a 2nd team all conference Tackle with the #17 pick?!?
 
I dont know why the Lions didnt get Mendenhal or Jones when they just released K. Jones. A 2nd rate OT is like putting a piece of bubble gum over a leak in the damn. We need help all over the darn place, start with a new moron in charge or the draft.
 
No, I am not impressed with taking a RB from Tulane with the 2nd pick.

I had the opportunity to watch Forte play in a couple of games and the kid is impressive. A big back with speed, he was Tulane's only offensive weapon and still put up HUGE numbers. Everyone knew if they stopped him they won the game, but he still ran for over 2,000. I like the pick, but still would have preferred another QB to add to the mix.

I don't think Forte is necessarily a bad player. I think he could be solid. And while the Bears tend not to draft the flashy guys that get a lot of hype, they've had pretty good success of finding late gems.

I'm just really surprised that if they were going to go HB, they didn't take Rice and they passed the chance to get Brohm in the second round.
 
I have been pissed off the whole day that the Angelo didn't trade up to get Mendenhall. Then we go out and get Forte when a RB like Ray Rice is still there. Not happy with how he handled the RB situation.
 
I have no problem with the Bears not trading up to get Mendenhall, but I still don't think they handled their second round pick worth a damn.

The Lions got an excellent right tackle, when they're desperate for linemen. What are you complaining about?

Had the Vikes still owned their first pick, they probably would have taken either Cherilius, OTah or maybe Baker.

I like the Vikes' second round safety (projected by some in the first), they needed someone with a chance to be a star. But this draft sure is gutted, with the next pick in th fifth round.

I've been doing some reading on him, and the more I see, the more I like him. So far the experts like the pick as well. Sounds like a heck of an athlete at the saftey spot with 4.4 speed, good man to man coverage skills and a great open field tackler.
 
I like who my Steelers got today! They just need to draft three o-linemen tomorrow to give Ben even more help and maybe a couple cornerbacks.
 
very happy with the pick of mcfadden .... but woulda liked to see them try to acquire a pick in the 2nd or 3rd rounds to be able to get a lineman or two to help protect former #1 russell and to lead the way for mcfadden ....
 
I hope the Vikes don't regret not picking up a QB or OT.

There really weren't any OT's around in the mid 2nd round that would have been worth the pick.

QB is another story, although the Vikings seem to be pretty stuck on T-Jack.
