pmoehrin Posted April 27, 2012 Share Posted April 27, 2012 There have been some surprising picks so far, but WEEDEN!?The guy is, literally, older than Aaron Rodgers.Was wondering why nobody picked him earlier. Looked awesome on game film.Also huge steal for the Lions to take Reiff at 23.DeCastro another steal as well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ESTONES6 Posted April 27, 2012 Share Posted April 27, 2012 Weeden isn't the sexy pick, but if you can get 7 solid years out of - which isn't far fetched - it could be a very good pick. When you are a team with so many holes like Browns, these later picks are tough due to all the trading up and maneuvering. When it comes to the Browns, you don't have the luxury of reaching for a player and letting him develop like teams like the Patriots and Steelers do.I don't think McCoy even has a shot at starting this year. You don't draft 28 year old rookie in the first round to compete for the starting job. It's Weeden's to loose.

Rockstar Matt Posted April 27, 2012 Share Posted April 27, 2012 As for Dallas, CB Mike Jenkins, who is in his last year of his contract, may be cut or traded as they have just drafted a CB, gave $50M to Carr, and gave $27M to Scandrick (a 3rd corner).Nope. It means the Cowboys just got better and it means Alan Ball is gone, thank god. We need four good corners in today's NFL. I hope the Cowboys draft a safety and a defensive lineman in this draft. We need some good ones.Ball is already gone as he is a UFA. His cap number last year was $1.2M.Jenkins is coming off an major shoulder injury and is in the last year of his contract, which counts about $1.5M on the cap. He changed agents (to Drew Rosenhaus) and he was rebuffed at the GM's Meeting on getting Jenkins an extension. I gave you the contracts for Carr and Scandrik, so slot Claiborne at what Julio Jones signed for last year, 4 years/$16.2M. Plus, they and WAS are going to mediation for that reduction in their cap number.I didn't know that, but thank goodness. If I were the Cowboys, I'd just wait to see what Jenkins does this year. Let Carr, Claiborne, Jenkins and Scandrick fight for the who gets the starting positions, the nickel and the dime.

NEW.ERA Posted April 27, 2012 Share Posted April 27, 2012 Looking more and more likely that Nick Perry will be at 28. Unless the Texans take him, wouldn't surprise me. I'd be okay with Upshaw though.

crashcarson15 Posted April 27, 2012 Share Posted April 27, 2012 What's the real difference between drafting an NFL-ready 28 year old and drafting a 23 year old who's gonna need a couple of years to become NFL-ready? If you think he's already there, then do it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

FiddySicks Posted April 27, 2012 Share Posted April 27, 2012 So the Browns pick of Trent Richardson was a solid pick. Made good sense and was a need, and he was the best running back available. But that Brandon Weeden pick is just flat out stupid. Weeden is probably going to be a decent QB, but I don't see him ever being just flat out awesome, and he's a HUGE risk due to his age. That pick made absolutely ZERO sense for the Browns. Why are they stockpiling mid range QBs when they have so many other needs? Is this team really that dumb? Is Jon Gruden their coach?
