that sounds about right - you can draft 50 guys and you have only taken the best player from the bowl teams.

I just played First-Pick and this was my amazing draft. 

 

I traded down from #20 to Pittsburgh for #28 and their second round pick (#28 as well) and third round pick (#28)

Round 1 #28 -  Maurice Hurst, DT,  Michigan

Round 2 #19 -   Sony Michel, RB, Georgia

Round 2 #28 (From Pitt) -  Breeland Speaks,  DE,  Mississippi

Round 3 #18  -  Hayden Hurst, TE,  South Carolina

Round 3 #28 (From Pitt) -  Frank Ragnow, C, Arkansas

Round 4 #17 - Traded to Seattle for Round 4 #20 and Round 5 #32

Round 4 #20 (From Seattle) - Josh Sweat, OLB, Florida State

Round 5 #16 -  Luke Falk, QB, Washington State

Round 5 #32 (from Seattle) -   Braxton Berrios,  WR, Miami

Round 7 #19   -   Website Frozen,  Microsoft Windows

 

Come on, that's a really good draft,  I'm a genius,. .

I particularly love the 7th round pick

Steelers don’t trade up in the first round.

I feel like David in War Games.   I did not initiate the trade,   "Joshua" called me.

Come on, Two Hursts in one draft.   How can one go wrong?

Yes, the seventh round pick I can believe. ;-)

Do we really want another center from Arkansas?

Better than a long snapper.

we should draft a qb high to send a message to the team that no one's job is safe.

I heard Derrius Guice interviewed on SiriusXM NFL Network this morning. From my POV he said all the right things. My favorite: “I like to get the ball and get dirty.”

If Round 1 is where you take players who have talent and the character to be leaders, it seemed that Guice has that kind of character. I’m sure he’s getting coached by his agent, but even so, it’s a good sign that he’s following his coaching.

I’m still not generally a fan of taking RBs in the first round, but Guice seems like the kind of guy who would not make you regret selecting him with a high draft pick.

Seems like a very Quinn guy

[Nastradamus 261]

Latest guess board for us

Landry, Davenport, Payne, Guice.

[Mr.TaterSalad 230]

I'm warming up more and more to the idea of taking Darrius Guice in the first round.

[84 Lives!!! 77]

Not gonna happen.

Just my opinion.

It'll be defensive lineman 1st round. RB 2nd round.

[Buddha 559]

please dont taken davenport or a running back in round one.

[Jason_R 127]

Detroit signed LeGarrette Blount, and even the typically-tight lipped Bob Quinn says that could affect the club's approach to the position in next week's draft.

"It could impact it a little bit," said Quinn, who is entering his third draft as Detroit's general manager. "I mean, I think if we had to go play a football game today, I think we have enough running backs to be competitive.

"Now is that saying I'm not going to take one? I don't know. Tell me who's going to be on the board in the second, third, fourth round. I mean, I don't know."

Seems like Bob Quinn agrees, at least at RB.

If Vea is available at 18, do you trade with Seattle to grab him? Dallas seems to be his floor.

I’d be surprised to see Quinn move up, especially when he only has six picks to begin with. That doesn’t seem to be his M.O., at least in Round 1. He will let the board come to him, then deal in later rounds.

Ragnow is a likely first rounder.

[Jason_R 127]

Ragnow is a likely first rounder.

On some boards.

I was, of course, being tongue in cheek and referring to the lackluster play of Travis Swanson.

But if there are interior OL on the board from Ohio State, Iowa, or Georgia, I have a hard time seeing Quinn picking one from Arkansas.

And if interior OL from those pro style programs are off the board at 20, that probably means a defensive player we would like is on the board.

Oh, don't worry about where they played at.  Take the best player.

I guarantee you the Lions will not trade up.  They are looking to trade down only.

The best players typically go to the best programs.
