I don't get the Browns drafting a center when they have Mack. Lions go G instead of DT which is still a need both in short and long term.
Dolphins could use a G and LB in round 2. Could also go DB and RB as well. Without a third rounder they might do some wheeling and dealing to get more picks.
Because Mack plays LBQuote:

They were talking last night on NFL Network, Mack has an opt-out clause in his contract and some of the Browns players, notably LT Joe Thomas, have said this might be his last year, he'll opt-out and try to go elsewhere to escape the Browns dysfunction. If that happens, they now have someone to fill the hole.

That makes sense.
Yeah, it does. Cleveland is synonymous with dysfunction. :)Quote:

They had a solid pick in Bitoni(sp) last season
Dolphins take Jordan Phillips. Making getting stronger inside a big priority. Well let's hope that includes guard since they have a big hole at one spot. A big RB would be nice too.
I don't really know what FanCred is, but I keep hearing more and more about it...Quote:

I would like to see more competition there.
Yeah, I'm actually not too sure too either. :D. All I know is I somehow ended up getting occasional emails from them. The NFL Draft bingo was a nice touch in the most recent email. They nailed it for potential options on the board.Quote:

La'el Collins said he won't sign with any team this year now and will reenter the draft next year. The mother and baby are both dead. Nobody knows exactly his involvement.
I guess Collins might only have the option of getting redrafted if he's actually selected. If he goes undrafted it is a grey area but the NFL plans on treating him like an UDFA and he can't enter the 2016 draft.

According to his lawyer, they have proof and witnesses that place him in an entire different city from well before all the way through to after the girl was killed. Between that and police not even considering him a suspect right now, just wanting to ask some questions, if it turns out he had absolutely nothing to do with that, that's a shitty situation all around. A likely first round pick only to have his career derailed and multi millions instantly lost over something he had no involvement in (if it's proven without a doubt he wasn't involved).

Lot's of praise on NFL NETWORK for the Fins. Outside of their round 1 pick I don't really follow any of those players. You like what you see Rudy?
I am happy. I was surprised by the NT in round 2 but we needed more beef in the middle. The 4th round guard was more of a need pick and there was a run on guards at that time. But their 5th rounders were nice. Really like getting Ajayi as a power RB. Drafted a small nickel CB who seems good in that role, a FS with good athletic ability but poor instincts, and the MSU WR who they are converting to CB. The G and Ajayi will push to start.Quote:

According to the Rookie Scouting Portfolio, he would have been 4th round grade at tackle, and first round at center. So that at least suggests some versatility this year with likely a long term goal of him replacing Mack next time his contract is up.Quote:

Dolphins didn't pick a MLB but got 4 nice ones as undrafted guys I thought would go late. Mike Hull of PSU, Jeff Luc of cinci and a couple other guys. Apparently the agents know it's a great chance to male the team and tax free lol.
Did you see the undrafted lists from some teams? The Ravens were in double digits, at least.
Overall a decent draft for Oakland. I love the pick up of Amari Cooper. The Raiders have so many holes though that this will be a long work in progress.
With 90 man training camp rosters I expect most teams to get that high. Dolphins had 13 spots open after the draft so they will get there as well. Of course guys like Brandon spikes are still out there too.Quote:
