I expect the Packers to go Defense all day long with OL mixed in.
OLB and Safety first.

^ i want the eagles to go LB in the 1st, but every eagles' fan knows that won't happen unless there is a change in the philosophy of the front office..
HOWEVER, because of andy's penchant for taking players who are either mormon or from notre dame.. manti te'o might be that exception to the above stated rule (since he is mormon AND from ND)
more realistically, i see us going either OLine (specifically for a right tackle) or DT.. depending on what is within our range (whether it be us moving up or who we see sliding and can pick up value, while still getting our guy)

I could also see us drafting a QB who can sit and learn for 2/3 years..
or going with a DE, if a top rated guy slips.. but this depends on how graham plays the next couple of months and if we decide to keep babin beyond this year..
as the giants have shown, you can never have enough good DEs

I know it was mentioned already but come on CP, no Claiborne in the first round? I'm almost certain he gets picked over Kirkpatrick and Dennard. Not saying he is better but teams are all over this guy.

Vikings initial needs are WR, OL, and CB.
Playmaking receiver, hopefully Blackmon.
At corner, Cedric Griffin hasn't been too great this year, sometimes okay, coming off those surgeries. Given the age of Winfield, Minnesota probably has to go DB.
Need an O-Line or two to keep building the foundation of that offense. Keep the holes there for AP and protect Ponder.

^ Mo Claiborne the #1 corner as well.
That looks a lot more realistic to me.
Barkley and Keuchly. I could rock w/ that...
Personally, I wouldn't touch a QB in the top 10 of this draft unless his name is Luck or Barkley.

^ i could actually see us drafting according to that mock.. the mormon/ND thing has to help te'o with us
1st:
Philadelphia Eagles: Manti Te'o, LB, Notre Dame
I know, I know, Andy Reid doesn't draft linebackers in the first round. But people said the same thing about Jerry Jones and offensive tackles prior to this past April.
Reid will be on the hot seat if the Eagles don't make the playoffs. He'll be desperate and may adjust his drafting strategy. Besides, Manti Te'o is the best player available and would provide an enormous instant upgrade in the linebacking corps.
2nd:
Philadelphia Eagles: Levy Adcock, OT, Oklahoma State
The Eagles paid their quarterback a ton of money, so they can't afford to have him running for his life every single week. Help is desperately needed at right tackle.
Philadelphia Eagles: Jared Crick, DT, Nebraska
Mike Patterson isn't a particularly effective player, so the Eagles could use some help at defensive tackle. Jared Crick seems like a perfect fit for Jim Washburn's system.
3rd:
Philadelphia Eagles: Kevin Reddick, ILB, North Carolina
Andy Reid hates drafting linebackers, but he may have to change his strategy after this disaster of a season.

I like Griffin better than Barkley all around. He moves better, has a good arm and makes better throws from what I have been able to see comparing the two. Barkley is to stiff sometimes in the pocket and I just for some reason think he will be a bust at the next level.Originally Posted by bigtomgetsgwap

I'm not the biggest Barkley fan myself, but I still think he can be a good NFL quarterback.
I think with him more than others, his success will be more dependant on the team that drafts him and the weapons they have.

Texans need the meanest nastiest nose tackle available followed by a wide receiver.
Another defensive back would be nice, also a offensive guard, maybe another inside linebacker, a pass rusher wouldn't hurt either.
Plus I can't forget another Wisconsin tight end.

I think Barkley's ceiling is about Eli Manning, which I'm fine with.
I don't see how he will flat out bust, though. His mechanics are too solid, he reads defenses too well and he seems like he has a really good head on his shoulders.
He's a much safer pick to me than RG3 or Landry Jones.

Does anyone know what Russel Wilsons deal is out of Wisconsin?
I know he got drafted by the Colorado Rockies. But the reason he went to Wisconsin to play another year was for his dad an ex NFL player who died recently. Is he going in the draft? Can he go in the draft even though he got drafted by the Rockies? Does he have NFL talent? I think so.
He's got the arm, he's accurate, he's got speed. The only knock on him is that he's only 5'11. Same problem with Kellen Moore. None of this matters though if hes going to the MLB. I just havent heard $!#% about what hes doing after this year.

^ i could see us being a sneaky team for a late 1st round QB, if someone were to slid.. since we could potentially have 3 2nd round picks
and we're either going defensive tackle, right tackle, linebacker and/or defensive end in the first.. first 3 are needs since i see herremans moving back to LG after this season

If Eli had the career he's had up to date currently but in another city besides NY how would he be perceived?
About the same? Maybe how we look at Cutler now?

The USC concerns are warranted, I guess.
But I don't think you can really hold that against him.
Barkley is a dude that's ALL about football.
Can't say the same for the other 2.
Matt was a regular on the ASU party scene while he was in Arizona.
I don't think I need to refresh you on Sanchize. We've both been hard on that boy for a while now.
When I brought up Eli, I was talking actual playing style and what he's capable of doing.
Not career achievements or perception. Eli and Cutler couldn't be further polar opposites as far as playing style goes (I know that's not what you were inferring).
I got burned on here before when I said a certain prospect was closer to one of the top prospects than most people think, so I'm not gonna quite go there again.
