How do you feel about your teams day 1?

LOVE what the Cowboys did. Had a feeling it may happen too knowing Jerry.

Dez is so freakin dynamic, the Cowboys offense is going to be hard to stop. Seriously if i were in our division i would draft DBs the rest of the draft lol.

We will see what they do today. Common reasoning says they are going after a safety if ones there, but there are also some nice OT's there for them too. I expect them to make a trade and try to get back into RD 3.


How do you think your team did and what do you think is in store for day 2?

I agree I think Dallas made a good choice in the first round. I would have been just as happy with Thomas though. But getting Dez as the second pick at WR is amazing.

hell ya. he is a the real deal at WR AND the return game. If Dallas didnt get Berry or Thomas i wanted Dez.

The best thing is in Dallas he has 3 strong support systems to keep him in line in Deion, Irvin, and his father figure Wells.

Its going to work out

Like what the Vikings did even though they didn't draft anyone. Swapped position in round 4 plus picked up another pick. Were able to do this and still have all the guys they like still available.

Wouldn't be surprised to see them trade out of pick 34 as well.

Bryant for the Cowboys is a pretty solid pick especially where they got him. I think they need to just bite the bullet on Williams now and move him along.

I loved the Colts pick of Jerry Hughes. I'm looking forward to seeing Freeney, Mathis, and Hughes all rushing the QB on 3rd and long plays.

Deion brokered this deal out over dinner back in September. NFL should be looking into tampering charges. j/k

Lions with Suh was an obvious pick and the one I wanted. Moving up to take Best was a surprise but we needed a running back bad with Smith recovering. It was a high risk/high reward play, only time will tell if it works out.

Now they need to go straight defense for the rest of the draft!!

that was a steal to get hughes there, but where can they line him up to get all 3 in on one play

Niners made their team a lot better IMO, not my team but just an observatshain

Panthers are my team and I hope they get a DT here in the 2nd

Dolphins are a team I have a rooting interest in and I think they got a solid DL player

To be flatout honest, I'm frustrated and confused. I get that we addressed the need for a WR, but why a QB? I'm not going to go all crazy like half you on here and say Tebow is going to fail as an NFL QB. I'll give the kid a chance.

But we just signed Quinn, so why draft a QB in the 1st round? I dunno. I'm just ya...frustrated and confused lol

Last year in obvious passing situations they would take a tackle or linebacker out and bring in Raheem Brock. He would be in a 2 point stance and move all around the line. Brock sucked at it, but it would be perfect for Hughes.
