Anyone have an interest in the NFL Draft? In years past I would watch the first couple rounds, but the lockout and possibility of a missed 2011 season I really don't care much what happens until I know for sure there will be football. I do hope my Steelers move up in the first round and draft a cornerback or offensive lineman, but other than that I'm a little bitter at the labor situation. Who do you want your teams to draft in the first round?

    i've got better things to do than watch talking heads talk for hours on end with one snippet of news every 15 minutes or so.

    that's not to say i'm not interested in who goes where, i just don't need to watch it.

    I know what you mean they definitely drag that stuff out. I'm a little under the weather right now and bummed that my Pens lost so I might be locked in on ESPN for the draft tonight.

    Yep for Pittsburgh to pay attention to, we've got no sports to follow now. Especially during Pirates season :lol:

    My interest in the NFL has really declined in the last few years, although I do still keep up with the Panthers. If they draft Cam Newton first overall, I'm out...

    I'll flip to it on and off to see who got picked. I liked it better when it was on Saturday and Sunday.

    As a Patriots fan, the draft isn't something you can just flip on and catch up on who they took ... fuckers are wheelin' and dealin' all draft long.

    With 6 picks in the first 3 rounds (2 in each round), I execpt a lot of action out of the hoodied one this year.

    if i was the Panthers, I would wait one more year and then pick Luck with the 1st pick. I think they should actually trade down and maybe get 2 pick. 1 this year and 1 next year. I still think you have to give your QB from last year draft soem time to see if he is worth anything.

    I usually do watch the draft, but since my Packers have the last pick, I'm not too stoked on it. I'd like to see them build up the offensive line - luckily Ted Thompson is amazing at building our team through the draft so I trust he's making the right decisions 8-)

    Packers repeat this year?? Let's hope so!!!!!!!!!!

    I really dont think the Bills can screw this up at #3.

    Im thinking they will be taking Darius or Miller. With Peterson as a darkhorse.


    I like how Carolina is going to take Newton and not give Buffalo the temptation.

    I fully expect them to not take ANYONE tonight and flip all the picks this weekend for similar picks next year. Oh, we thought we were getting JJ Watt? How does two 2nd round picks in 2014 sound instead?

    they should just rename this years draft "bill belicheck's smorgasbord." :x :lol:

    i am usually overly hyped up for the draft. buddy usually holds a big draft party....this year, nothing.

    and no trades which further screws my birds over. god.damn.it. :x

    i'm not to thrilled with the cowboys picking where they are. i'd ideally like to trade out and acquire more picks but i know jerry will take prince amukamara or do something crazy and trade up to get patrick peterson

    One round in the books, what do you think of your team's pick(s) in the 1st round?

    My Steelers got DE Cam Heyward out of Ohio St. I really wanted them to draft a cornerback, but I
    have a hard time questioning the Rooney's/Steelers when it comes to drafting players, they have
    proven they know what they're doing.

    Steelers were in a no lose spot really. They had 3 glaring needs, Secondary, O-line, and D-line. I agree on the corner aspect, but the best corners and offensive tackles were gone. They got a great end that will be a force with Ziggy in the near furture, and learning from Keisal, Smith and LeBeau will be nice. They'll need to grab a nose tackle next year. Now they can concentrate on the O-line and secondary tonight and tomorrow.

    As much as I would have liked to get the other Pouncey, I'm just happy they did not pull an Atlanta to go up and grab him.

    I agree with you completely, Cleveland made out like crazy on that trade. They definitely need all of those picks, the only thing I was hoping was that they didn't take another linebacker, they always take one early. It pans out well but with Ike possibly leaving via free agency and having McFadden and Gay as starters would be a disaster. The Qb's getting drafted as early as they did definitely put the Steelers in a great spot to pick Heyward or even Williams the CB from Texas, they were the two guys they were apparently looking at. I read an article in the Post-Gazette there is a corner from Virginia they were targeting in the 2nd round Ras-I Dowling, who knows maybe they will trade up to get an OT or a CB in the 2nd. Pouncey would have been a feel good story I think more than anything else, I'm glad they didn't give up multiple picks that they would have to get him
