Official 2011 NFL Draft Thread.

Some guy at work bet me $20 + lunch that Cam Newton WOULDN'T be the 1st pick.

I took that bet.

lol @ him

 

[hclarkjr]

ok browns, your turn

 

[MikeMike]

Browns trade to Falcons... I believe this is because of the pick by the Bengals.

 

[bunnyfubbles]

AJ Green to the BUNGALS???

FUCK Browns needed him.

lol that's the bengals for ya, screwing up so bad they screw over two teams

 

[techs]

Bungles front office:
"I got a great idea. Let's draft a wide receiver since we don't have a quarterback to throw to him"
"Great idea. No one would ever expect we could be so dumb"

 

[MikeMike]

Falcons pick Julio

Traded: 2011 27th pick
2011 2nd round and 4th round
2012 1st and 4th picks

The Browns now have 11 picks this year

 

[benzylic]

Falcons gave up an quite a bit for Jones.

 

[hclarkjr]

i think that is good pick for them

 

[lupi]

damn atlanta gave up a shitload of picks for that.

 

[Capt Caveman]

What a stupid trade by the Falcons! two 1st, a 2nd and 4th to move up

 

[hclarkjr]

3 picks for him is a bit much

 

[MikeMike]

3 picks for him is a bit much

they gave up FIVE picks... 3 this year, 2 next.

 

[a123456]

That made no sense. Giving up 5 picks, including 2 1st rounders for a guy who's good but they needed defense a whole lot more than a possibly injury-prone WR.

 

[techs]

Falcons gave up an quite a bit for Jones.

Seriously. A first, second and two fourths? Holy Fusck. They better hope this guy doesn't break a leg.
If he's a bust they are hobbled for two full years.

 

[hclarkjr]

wow

 

[hclarkjr]

did the falcons hire vinny??

 

[benzylic]

I'm a Mizzou fan, but I think Aldon Smith would have still been on the board later on in the first. A bit of a reach if you ask me.

 

[MikeMike]

Aldon Smith to the 49ers.

 

[techs]

did the falcons hire vinny??

Somewhere Herschel Walker is smiling.

 

[MikeMike]

Titans pick up Locker.

wait... WHAT?

 

[techs]

It's starting to smell like desperation at the draft.
The Pats are sitting with the first pick of the second round. By tomorrow a full blown panic might set in and the Pats could sell that pick dearly.

 

[lupi]

wow, titans take locker.

 

[benzylic]

locker? I was really expecting Gabbert.

 

[lupi]

everyone was expecting gabbert, most thought locker would be the fourth qb to go.

 

[Capt Caveman]

Locker will be better than Newton
