Could be an interesting year. Post your predictions/reactions. I'm hoping the Vikes go defense, but it sure sounds like it will be a receiver tonight.

I think Wentz will end up being a bust and I hope my New York Football Giants take the OT Conklin from Michigan St.

I just hope there are more trades than last year. Cant wait to grab some beer and watch it.

I think the Vikings are will take someone from Treadwell, Doctson, Nkemdiche, Cravens. Unless there is a fall like Floyd a couple years ago

Also really hope the Vikings can get Jaylon Smith later on. I think it would be a win win now that Greenway has resigned for 1 yr, and if he can get healthy he would give them a young talented group.

Hoping the Colts are able to trade down from #18 to grab an extra pick or two and still get a quality interior offensive lineman at the end of the first round. Maybe the Broncos try to make that move so they can get Paxton Lynch. The Jets are the only other team behind the Colts in the first round with an unsettled QB situation, so Denver jumps up to get their guy. Just spitballing. Thoughts, Bronco fans?

Hope someone good falls to the Chiefs. Need a second CB to compliment Marcus Peters. Could go with some d-line help to prepare for Hali's retirement in a couple years. Another WR wouldn't hurt. Don't need QB or RB.

Christmas in April. Lots of intrigue.

Hoping for a bunch of trades and curious to see how far Myles Jack tonight and Jaylan Smith falls tomorrow (3rd?).

Isn't that what the Dee Ford pick was for? I would say they need DB, WR or OL in the first round. I could also see them take a QB if they like Connor Cook or Hackenberg.

Eli Apple if he is there.

Good to see there is another Giants fan on htere. But your taste in college teams is terrible.

I can't see them going OL two drafts in a row. Defense is a much bigger concern, IMO. I would love to see them drop back 5-6 spots, add a pick, and also draft the OLB from Georgia. I think he will be just as good as Jack but without the knee concerns. And yes, I know the history of not drafting LBs in the first round. But we also don't sign big money free agents... Until this year. Reese knows his *** is on the line. Get a fast LB to go along with the free agent signings.

Really hoping the Vikings add a WR tonight. I like Doctson and Treadwell, but Thomas and Coleman would also be good. If they can slide down a few spots and still get one of those guys while adding a mid-round pick, that would be ideal.

I could also see the Chiefs move down a bit to try and get a 3rd round pick back.

I hope they let Nkemdiche go and get a guy like Kaufusi in the next round. If you watch the tape, Kaufusi just looks better IMO.

This draft seems like a downer to me. Of course some great athletes but no really huge names

From what I have read and heard, many think this draft class is pretty good from a talent standpoint - may not have a lot of names or high level 1st round talent but there is a ton of depth in rounds 2-5.

Really hope the Vikings for with Treadwell or Doctson at 1 and then do the classic Rick thing and trade back into the first round and take Karl Joseph.

He was fantastic his first year with an NFL coach. He didn't fit Franklins' system and he got killed behind an atrocious OL.

He's a big talented kid. He might need a little time to really get going, but he might be a steal.

Yup, Chiefs could afford to stash him behind Alex Smith for 2 years to groom him. He would be more of a choice in the 2nd round if there for me. Chiefs are on the cusp of being really good so kind of hard for them to take a project early right now. Rumors are the Chiefs really like Paxton Lynch so maybe that's where they go.

Well to all the NY Giants fans out there - as a COWBOYS fan i hope you whiff on your pick!!!! HAHAHAHAH

For the Cowboys - three things i would like to see:
Ramsey fall to #4 for us to pick. If Ramsey is selected, then i would like to trade with 49ers who really like Paxton Lynch and get a extra 2nd rounder. Chip is stupid with his picks so that should be easy!!!!

If we move back, get Elliott or Shaw Lawson, think both those guys will be studs!!!!!
