2011 NFL Draft Thread

Well the db situation won't be as noticeable with the inside push... cheat on the short passes and challenge the QB to hold it long enough.
Should lead to more time on the field for the offense.

They made that pick quick too. That was "I can't fucking believe he's sitting there at 13 for us."

Kind of similar to the Greg Monroe pick.

Kind of similar to the Greg Monroe pick.

i can see that, except monroe was more of an absolute need whereas fairly was just by far bpa. i think everyone in the football universe likes this pick for the lions, except maybe jay cutler. if you need him, he'll shitting for the next 6 months.

apparently, the football dork world is abuzz because ron gilbert's mock is a little crazy. apparently, he is considered the most connected mock drafter around.

that draft was actually rick gosselin's (got name wrong originally). gotta say im impressed. godselin?

I like the NBA Draft so much better. Way more mystery/intrigue.

And no Berman.

parrallel?

in the late 90's the lions passed on a talented but troubled players in favor of terry fair. a pick later, despite being loaded at his position, vikings take randy moss.

this year, vikings pass on talents but troubled nick fairly. pick later, despite being loaded at dline, lions select him.

hopefully this one wroks out just as well.

Fairly rated near top in quickness, vs the run & vs the pass.
Did not participate in the weight lifting?
