Unless there's a sure fire lock and generational talent at WR available (ala Calvin Johnson or Jerry Rice), I am not a fan of taking a WR high in the draft.

Questionable.
Physically, Jones is a freak. He does have a case of the dropsies though. Also, he has injury concerns.
Well, I must say that when my Browns traded down and received 5 picks in return, I was quite happy. Then we traded a 3rd round pick to move up to 21 from 26 to snag NT, Phil Taylor out of Baylor.
While I don't really know much about Taylor, I'm going to trust Heckert/Holmgren and company do. The Browns were in great need of a run stopper on defense. Taylor seems to fit that mold as an agile 334lb nose tackle. From the highlights, he looked like a younger, more motivated Shaun Rogers.
Looking forward to our TWO second round picks today!

He does have a few issues to work on, and dropping the easy catch during his college days is one of them. On the flip side, for every easy catch that he dropped, he had a "OMG how did he do that" catch to make up for it. And when he gets the ball....forget about it. He, like you said, is a physical freak. He gets the extra yards.
He has been injured a couple of times, but he has missed little to no time because of it, and did you see the numbers he put up at the combine, with a broken foot?
I feel that the NFL can fix his easy drop issue, and if so, you will see this guy on sportscenter for some time.
Now he just needs to stay healthy.
You must have a short memory.
How'd it work out two years ago when Mangini traded the #5 to the Jets? It all depends on what players we get with the extra picks.......let's hope that the current jokers in charge get it right.
yeah nice pick by miami
. a center to protect henne or whatever that idiot's name is . miami,disappointing as usual . ouch!!!!!!!!!!!!! think i just got whiplash from rolling my eyes towards the back of my head so much 
Maybe the Fins will be in the market for Kevin Kolb....yeah nice pick by miami
i'll believe it when i see it my friend. Kolb, Vince Young,,,,,,,,,,,, better than what we have thats for sure,
You must have a short memory.
True, but Mangini never drafted good. Heckert has shown (at least last year) that he has the ability to find studs in all rounds.
yeah nice pick by miami
Plenty of QB's still left Rey. Hang tight buddy. Mallet and Dalton come to mind.
What's with everyone passing on Da'Quan Bowers? Do they know something we don't? From my understanding, he's a top of the first round talent. Is his past injury really that much of a scare?
despite mallets issues i know he's talented. its just that we've been drafting qb's in the second round a few times in the last ten years and it never works out. so you would understand my lack of faith. i really wanted gabert or whatever his name is.its frustrating.
of course. at the end of it all its the fault of BOTH sides. i'll say it again. demaurice smith, wrong guy to be representing the players. real a-hole. he knows nothing about how these players really feel. i love how he says " for our league and for our fans "
really? its the players and owners league you d**k. not of a greedy ass lawyer. just my opinion . goodell....... deserved what he got last night thats for sure. i like him but he too is involved in all this mess

I've heard bone on bone in the knee, not a good thing in the NFL. BUt someone may get a steal, if he's OK.
What the heck was with the viewer learning who was picked by showing the camera in the green room and seeing the player hang of the phone and react to being told he was being chosen? Kinda strange, and took all of the thunder away from watching the announcement.

What's with New Yorkers? Even the chant towards Goodell ("We want Football... clap, clap, clap, clap, clap") was to the tune of "Let's go Yankess... clap, clap, clap, clap, clap".

I also thought it was corny when Suzy Kolber read an email from Mark Ingram's father (sent from his prison cell) that made him cry.
Mark's response? Thanking his Dad for being a "positive influence on his life". Gulp....
When you find something that works, you stick with it.
Interesting how that definitely un-nerved Goodell.
