2013 NFL Draft: With the first overall selection, the Kansas City Chiefs select...

...not a quarterback, because this is the weakest quarterback class in forfuckingever.

guess philly should grab Te'o and see if foles develops into something and if not shoot for a qb in 2014

philly is not going to draft te'o

unless you're talking about the second round

also ryans was good for the eagles this year

they're gonna take a tackle or a pass rusher... but you could say that about every team in the top 10 w/ the way this class is shaping up

I do think that the Jets might take either Barkley or Geno Smith if one falls to #9, because loljets.

taking a QB at 9 wouldn't be out of the question imo

Seems like this draft is going to be all about linemen at the top, and that wouldn't be a bad idea for the Chiefs. Defensive line?

Here's Scouts Inc.'s top of the board:

1. Star Lotulelei DT Utah 96
2. Damontre Moore* DE Texas A&M 96
3. Chance Warmack G Alabama 96
4. Luke Joeckel* OT Texas A&M 96
5. Barkevious Mingo* DE LSU 95
6. Jarvis Jones* OLB Georgia 95
7. Manti Te'o ILB Notre Dame 95
8. Bjoern Werner* DE Florida St 95
9. Johnathan Hankins* DT Ohio State 95
10. Sylvester Williams DT N. Carolina 94
11. Dee Milliner* CB Alabama 94
12. Dion Jordan DE Oregon 94
13. Taylor Lewan* OT Michigan 94
14. Jonathan Cooper OG N. Carolina 94
15. Alec Ogletree* ILB Georgia 93
16. Kenny Vaccaro S Texas 93

20. Zach Ertz* TE Stanford 89
30. C. Patterson* WR Tennessee 88
31. Tyler Eifert* TE Notre Dame 88
32. Matt Barkley QB USC 88

Other than Jadeveon Clowney, is there any other underclassmen that would potentially go #1 if they could be in the draft?

I'd imagine if you ranked NFL prospects that dude has to be #1 of all players out there. There was some plays in that Michigan bowl game where it was like watching a man playing pop warner. He about kilt that Michigan running back on that play where for some reason 'someone forgot to block him'.

JEMINY FREAKIN CHRISTMAS!

clowney hit is possibly the best thing i've ever seen

Spurrier said Clowney came to SC ready to play and could've possibly gone straight from high school to the NFL. I almost believe that.

there was a brief moment in that clip when i thought, 'oh he's not that tall' then i realized everyone else around him seemed to be the same height because they were jumping up to congratulate him.

That SC/Michigan game was pretty good one.

7. Manti Te'o ILB Notre Dame 95

hahahahahahahahahahaahaha

hi i am very excited for this year's draft

me too :)

For all the talk about qbs rising in the draft, I still think Smith is the only one to go Thursday night.

i bet some bad team will panic and draft another one

nassib's gonna get drafted tomorrow night

i don't doubt there will be more than 1 qb go in the 1st and it'll be a great desperation indicator. who is new and panicking, who is old and close to the axe.

holy shit you guys
i would go but how do you even get to fairfax

A handful of the former players that'll be announcing the picks tomorrow night are plaintiffs in the concussion suit. Can't wait for the awkwardness to ensue.

lol @ the rumor Cleveland might sneak up to get Geno Smith.

I mean, lol if it's true and lol if it's not true.

Cleveland, what are you going to do?

weeden is getting close to that retirement age iirc tbh so...

NE also apparently entertaining offers for Ryan Mallett.

i like geno, personally

it's a gamble as a top 10 pick def but i wouldn't hate it

I understand that the ownership and coaching staffs have changed hands since Weeden was drafted, but they shouldn't waste a top 10 pick on Smith. Wait until the class looks better next year.

lol

eric fisher reportedly going first

Memoriessss

They've got two chances to fuck it up this year

Though I'd love to see them trade both pics to the chiefs and then use the pic one someone like Honey Badger.

hahah

i am still curious about the weirdos who actually GO to the draft

why

the part in that video where it goes

"new york jets first round selection, fullback..." "OH MY GAWWWWD"

is unbelievably amazing

but really who in god's name would pick a fullback in the first round, what in the good hell

yeah that was my favorite part

god I hope Chris Rose is just doing the NFL Network preshow

One of my high school friends is in NYC on business this week and he stood outside last night trying to get a wristband to attend the draft. He didn't get one, but he did get to take a photo with Barry Sanders (which is cooler imo).

also "WE WANT SAPP! WE WANT SAPP! WE WANT SAPP!" *picks tight end from penn state*

Tommy Vardell

Thomas Arthur Vardell

Position: RB
Height: 6-2 Weight: 234 lbs.

Born: February 20, 1969 in El Cajon, CA (Age 44)
College: Stanford (school history)
Drafted by the Cleveland Browns in the 1st round (9th overall) of the 1992 NFL Draft.

^but really who in god's name would pick a fullback in the first round, what in the good hell

tbf, at the time the Browns were a fullback away from the Super Bowl

TACKLE DRAFT

^nu grunge band name

Congrats Browns! You've got the best named player in NFL History!

Gruden's like a little kid out there. Nice contrast to Kuiper who looks like he wants to murder everyone.

Hard to believe "compares to Phil Loadholt" (Fluker) is worth #11. Loadholt was mid 2nd round a few years ago. With O line performance depending so much on the whole group I wonder if the Alabama linemen are getting overrated in terms of their individual abilities. The Chargers line will probably be a downgrade for Fluker from last year in terms of who's on the line with him.

NFL DRAFT DAY ONE: "My only concerns are his health and his ability to tackle."

And whether his inferior vena cava is firmly reattached to his heart.

just here to LOL @ J.E.T.S.

Was told earlier the Jets targeting Tavon Austin, Barkevious Mingo and Jonathan Cooper. All 3 guys are gone.

WOW at the Bills

It's something to take the 4th best QB on the board

lol at jarvis jones falling into the steelers laps. fucking bills!!!

conspiracy against the browns, once again

wow at the steelers getting jarvis

good grief bills

geno still on the board!

that's wild

so tavon austin is a midget, eh?

What did Sharif Floyd do to drop from consensus top 5?

hate the bengals for poaching eifert. trufant's a solid pick though. not sure what's wrong with floyd, did he kill someone

Vikings nickel pass rush is going to be sick. Griffen and Floyd inside, Allen and Robison at ends.

this guy rhodes is stylin

Vikings media hinting Spielman's trading back into the 1st for a 3rd pick tonight. Worked out great taking Harrison Smith last year. If they take Teo or Patterson, wow.

Fucking patriots

so not surprised the pats traded just now

Boston Strong ... At trading down

andruzzi here to announce that in the first round, new england takes all the vikings remaining draft picks

vikes taking patterson

Not sure which is my favorite Draft tweet of the past 10 minutes:

Jason Kirk ‏@JasonKirkSBN 9m
If the Patriots trade down to let someone take Manti Te'o, Bill Belichick has outdone himself yet again

or

Aaron Rodgers ‏@AaronRodgers12 9m
Welcome to GB Datone Jones. Bring your warmest jacket. Winter is coming.

(Always irrationally fond of UCLA->GB picks)

Won't complain too much about trading the rest of the draft for whoever, after already landing Floyd and Rhodes, who were were expected to long gone by our first pick.

If its Patterson I will do a little dance.

"Definitely USA."

i love that belichick messed up this new england sentimental moment by trading with minnesota

<3 twitteronia sometimes

Belichick would trade this tribute for a 7th rounder if he could.

http://d3j5vwomefv46c.cloudfront.net/photos/large/762459547.gif

2 guards and a center in the first round!

btw i was watching this with ilx poster djp and it was fun watching him break into sweats every time someone said that the vikings might draft te'o

haha

lol @ Dallas

That dude would've still been there halfway through the second when you pick next.

I agree with Michael Irvin..."why didn't you draft Elam?"

who's going first? te'o or geno?

Jags have the 33rd pick, so it's probably Geno Smith...unless Philly trades up to take him (which would be stupid).

What does it say about Nassib that his college hc and the team he's been most closely associated with pre-draft didn't just pass him over, but they passed him over for a different qb? I'd hate to be in that kid's head right now.

Also, lol @ Kevin Kolb.

The Cowboys used six different centers last season (all were horrible) and this guy is ranked as the number 1 center a lot of places so it seem like an ok move to me

It's okay, but they have another pick in the middle of the 2nd. I would've assumed he would still be there and taken a skill player.

http://i.imgur.com/3LAUhDO.png

with regards to nassib I wonder how much playing in a dome factored in the bills passing on him

belichick trading out of the boston marathon memorial pick is easily his greatest troll of all time

it was pretty hilarious, if predictable

that vikings trade for the pats pick was nuts

like, the dolphins traded a second round pick to get the no. 3 overall pick

the vikings traded a second, third, fourth and seventh to get the no. 29 overall pick

that is Vikings football in a nutshell; the only way it could be more Vikings-y is if they picked Teo twice

at least they picked a potential superstar receiver, if you're gonna go for broke at least really go for broke

in a perfect world, the vikings told teo they were going to pick him each time they went up, and then after they got the wr at 29, the rams told teo don't worry, we got u, and then drafted that other ilb at 30

this was the first time I watched the draft btw and I was mostly just drinking beers and being bemused until the Vikings trade came up and they started floating Teo as a target, at which point the room did one of those horror movie receding pans around me while I shouted "NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO"

i would like to acknowledge that you literally shouted "nooooooooooo"

You are all, collectively, manti te'o. Your continued persecution of manti is your fake girlfriend. You just don't know it yet. You will know it soon, and I'll be up in this thread like deadspin. Think about it.

http://i.imgur.com/OolIg.gif

that gif was a late night 3 hour phone call with your fake girlfriend, which I'll remind you is your not believing in manti

also manti is tripped by the right guard

man i could barely get to sleep last nite the vikings made this one exciting!

i don't know shit abt college players but i guess ppl think we did pretty well.

well, you don't have manti te'o which is a problem for you

first team in NFL history to get draft catfished ;_;

barnwell on vikes trade with NE: "it took what had been an excellent Vikings draft and ruined their night."

eh ppl get so obsessed with who got what picks, and new england loves acquiring picks

end of day, the vikings obv thing that patterson is a big time player and a legit star receiver. if they are right they will look like genius and no one will remember the picks.

i didn't even think it was that bad. we still have 4th, 5th, 6th, and 2 7th round picks, so from our perspective we turned our 1st 2nd and 3rd rounders into 3 first rounders

one thing that's important to note too is that first rounders are under team control for 5 years, not 4 years, big thing with the new CBA that might have been a factor

bill polian is the worst

lol goodell gets wrong where keith bulluck went to college

i like z.ertz

3 TE's tho :/

idk, i guess i trust kelly. another year of vick/foles tho.

if he were named gino smith & from carnarsie jets fans would give this pick a 10 min standing o

geno smith. God has kept him but will the Jets?

hes got a big arm, def a worthwhile risk

also, ILX got Manti's round right iirc

depth is important tho, if Patterson turns out to be merely good instead of a star and the vikes have noticeable holes elsewhere than ditching four draft picks becomes a problem

Ugh we got teo? Bring back Norv and AJ!

This might be the worst thing that has ever happened to me tbqh

:/

Haha, my Chargers loving friend was ripping me in advance for the Vikings picking Teo, and I was defending him. Now we'll have to switch.

thank you for fighting the good fight, plasmon. you may make a catfish joek now

Now my team has imaginary girlfriends AND imaginary championships!

things could not get any more amazing for u

bears take bostic. wonder if they would've taken te'o had he been available

lol @ lavar arrington "Boo you" "HTTR"

besides trading out of the first round, second most patriots thing ever is selecting players at positions where they don't have much of a need

pass rusher okay they do have a need, i get it

i mean they don't *really* need a pass rusher but what the hell

Adam Schefter
Arizona knows what it's getting in the Honey Badger, that's for sure: Cardinals DC Todd Bowles' step-daughter has dated CB Tyrann Matthieu.

bb just can't say no to a versatile LB. i hope this receiver is not absolutely terrible.

that vikings trade for the pats pick was nuts

like, the dolphins traded a second round pick to get the no. 3 overall pick

the vikings traded a second, third, fourth and seventh to get the no. 29 overall pick

Miami gave up a second rounder to move up 9 spots.

Vikings gave up a third, fourth, and seventh to move up 23 spots.

That doesn't seem so crazy to me.

According to some value calculator I found:

3rd pick: 1759 pts; 12th and 42nd: 1981 pts

29th pick: 853 pts, pick 52, 83, 120, and 229: 1773 pts

context is important too, round 1 picks supposedly less important this year, 2 and 3 more. it's a julio jones - an over-expensive trade that will leave the team with holes, but if the guy turns out to be a stud no one will mind so much

A lot of these picks were extra picks, we are still making 8 picks in this draft and every round 4 and on, we just turned 2nd and 3rd rounds into 1sts

Another thing to remember is the new CBA and how 1st round contracts are 5 year team control instead of 4, that's huge

huh giants trade up 2 get nassib

RIP Chris Kluwe :/

I'm glad Lattimore went to SF, and I hope he gets all the time he needs to recover the right way and blow everyone else away a season or two from now.

I hope good things happen for Lattimore. Willis McGahee was able to come back from a horrific knee injury to have a nice NFL career.

kiper sez te'o was the overall best pick in the draft

ha

hahaha

HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I love how the Raiders poured one out for Al with all these workout warriors
