Board 8 > 2012 NFL Draft: Where The NFL Catches Up To Madden

(+) Yeah! (+)

Finally the NFL realized 3 things Madden players have known for years now:

1. Multiple tight ends are unguardable. They're bigger than corners and faster than backers. Three tight ends will go in the first 2 rounds. The Stanford kid is gonna be a solid player for 10 years.

2. Cornerbacks are over rated. Why? Because spread offenses can just run that use motion to remove him from the play. The Giants and Patriots made the Super Bowl while the Jets and Eagles didn't make the playoffs. Safeties actually have massive value because they can guard tight ends and also play run support.

3.wide receivers value is Skyrocketing and it is still under rated. The giants won the super bowl because they had more great receivers than you could guard. Tom Brady is the only quarterback who is consistently winning without any real receiver talent.


Lastly, the patriots have 5 picks in the first 43. Think about that then remember they have the easiest schedule in the league. Sorry Jets fans you're screwed.

Best value picks in the draft: Justin Blackmon, coby fleiner, Michael Barron. Blackmon is the most polished receiver I've ever seen out of college. Calvin Johnson had infinite athleticism but was raw in alot of areas. Blackmon has no weaknesses. Fleiner is Dallas Clark. Michael Barron is the next big safety.
Worst picks in the draft: any quarterback other than the top 2,

Waiting for that 32nd overall pick! If we even use it. Picking 32nd is the best (unless you traded into it). I'm hoping we'll pick up another DE or a WE that will have an immediate impact. We've been linked to possibly getting Fleener, but I don't think we will, even if he's available.

And even if we do trade down....still an interesting day. We just signed Shaun Rogers.

One of two reasons the Packers D was so bad last year (Other being a complete lack of a pass rush opposite of Clay) Hopefully Nick Collins makes a full recovery.

Yeah, I'll mostly be just following it online as well. Sure I'll be checking out Game 7 at 7 PM ET, but.....Game 7 at 8:30!

At least the games might be over with before the Giants pick comes around!

The Giants are an elite drafting team along with the Steelers and Ravens.

They take the best player. Period. They had Justin tuck and Osi and drafted Pierre Paul. They take whoever they think has the most talent, screw need.

Here's hoping the Panthers get some good guys. At least we finally have a quarterback.

Yup. And there's a real chance we take yet another DE this year! Of course, Osi's got one foot out the door already, not sure if he's gonna still be around for this season, definitely at least going to be gone afterwards.

VIKINGS GET PAAAAAAAAAAAAAAID and we get our player.

So what happened was the Vikings told the Browns the Bucs were going to trade up for Trent Rich and so the Browns jumped the gun.

Works for everyone: Browns have hella picks in the 1st/2nd/3rd rounds so those later picks were whatever, Vikings STILL get Kalil AND we get more picks later.

Vikings do something right for a change hell yes

please oh please oh please let Blackmon fall to 6th.

Brace for the G's, and fast heel-toe work.

Blackmon or Trent Rich would fit for the Browns.

Their defense is secretly very good. They played 2 rookies last year and still held their own.

Their offense was trash. Blackmon and Greg Little would make them huge on the outside.

Blackmon>Kalil>Claiborne


Elite WRs are game changers. Period. I'm been begging for Blackmon since I found out we picked 3rd. He and Percy Harvin would give Ponder a chance.

Since we know the top 2 picks let me say this:

The racism that comes along with grading and evaluating players will never cease or stop. Because Andrew Luck is a smart white guy we question his athleticism even though he's a phenomenal athlete. Because Griffin is a black quarterback we question his pocket presence and intelligence even though he's one of the smartest players in the draft and has a higher pocket completion percentage than Luck.

Old white guys aint neva gon change

RGIII is now the most expensive QB prospect of all time. Think about that.

Never stoop to the level of idiots. They will drag you down and beat you with experience.

Again, The Bucs offered to trade up so the Browns offered more.

The Bucs REALLY wanted Trent Richardson.
