To those who follow the NFL ..

Who do you hope your team drafts in the first round? What positions do you hope your team addresses?

My Iggles' glaring needs are safety, OLB, and CB. Hoping we go with a big pass rusher with pick #22, or whoever is the best available player on defense when it comes time to pick. A lot of folks think we need a WR with the first pick but there is so much WR depth in this draft, and we have much more glaring needs, so I hope we go D with the 1st pick, WR for 2nd, and D for the rest of the draft (and maybe some o-line depth later on?).

Don't hate me but I kinda hope we take Dee Ford if he is still around at 22 lol. Or Barr, if possible.

Either Sammy Watkins, or trade down, acquire another 2nd round, and draft Aaron Donald.

Raiders got James Jones in free agency, and still have Streater and Holmes from last year. Big glaring need now is to get a play maker at WR to help Schaub out. I think if they trade down, they should definitely get Donald, a versatile d-lineman who can play both DE and DT and still be a contributor. Guy is short, but has a great motor and is as relentless pass rusher. If that happens, I could see them getting Jordan Mathews in the 2nd round, then possibly a guard in the 2nd round (if they get another 2nd) or the 3rd round.

WR and DT/DE is our biggest needs, but after that, I hope they address the safety position, TE, could use more depth at linebacker, then a center I guess. Would really like to see Chris Borland in a Raiders uni.

The Steelers still have a glaring need for OLs, DLs, and DBs. Tomlin's DA self will hold on to excitingly average DBs, and he seems to have a hang up about drafting Bama players. This year looks like it will be a sad repeat of last year, and if neither Tomlin/Colbert can get to a neuro-proctologist soon and therefore have another...average draft, then 2014 could be worse.

If Ha-Ha falls that far, I could see the Steelers drafting him, but I think Justin Gilbert or Dennard from MSU would be a great fit for the Steelers.

Steelers could go either DT or CB in the first round honestly.

Tomlin loves the B10 players. Real ballers... :eyeroll:

I think I saw that either Kiper or McShay's mock draft had Dennard going there.

The Steelers have grabbed a few OL in the draft the last couple of years...Annnnnnnnnnnnd they all get hurt.

Dennard is a pretty damn good CB. No matter what team or conference, I'd take that guy in a heart beat if the Raiders weren't in such dire need of a defensive end or receiver.

Would not mind taking him at all! We need another B-Dawk on defense .. Didn't realize he was so keen on Philly though. Yay!

I'm not much of a NFL watcher, but if I did watch more my favorite team would be the Falcons and I hope they either trade up for Kalil Mack or stay where they are and get OL help. They need to get to the QB more and they really need to protect Ryan way better than they did last year.

 

[PhillyGirl]

Falcons definitely have Mack on their radar, but there's no way he drops to #6 .. A few think the Texans may shock the world and take Mack with #1 .. who knows! Falcons will probably snag Jake Matthews or Greg Robinson.

 

[ElephantStomp]

I think Falcons take Matthews now since Oakland took Mack (dammit!!!)

 

[PhillyGirl]

Browns pass on Manziel TWICE! Lol! He's probably Viking-bound.

 

[PhillyGirl]

Wow. Just kidding.

Borrowed this from a friend....


The Browns are the kid at your lunch table who would trade their fruit snack for your napkin.

Ha!

 

[bama alum]

And Johnny Drama isn't a top ten pick. Did you see him stew when Bortles was taken?

 

[bama alum]

Not excited or disappointed in the Steelers' 1st rd pick. Really surprised Jerry Jones didn't go after Johnny Paycheck.

 

[PhillyGirl]

Johnny Freefall

Mosley to Ravens!
