Vikings take Matt Kalil at #4

They decided to get a guy to help their porous offensive line. I really like this pick for them.

Draft

I think Kalil goes 4, Claiborne 5 and then Blackmon 6. How about you guys?

1st 3 picks

Well, now that the Cleveland Browns have traded up to #3 it's pretty obvious they're going for Trent Richardson. Everyone knows Andrew Luck and Robert Griffin the 3rd are going #1 and #2. So, the top 3 is solidified now and things will get interesting starting with pick #4. We'll see what happens.

2012 NFL Draft

Moments away from the start of the Draft, Cleveland has just traded up to 3 with Minnesota to presumably take Trent Richardson. Definitely a smart move by them, not sold on Tannehill that high and can maybe look to take Weeden later? Or do they still believe in Colt McCoy?

Draft Day

It's finally here! The 2012 NFL Draft is finally here. Kalen and I will be doing some blogging during the draft, and giving our opinions on the picks. I'll also be interested to see how my mock draft stacks up to the actual first 2 rounds of the draft. Before we get started on the draft, how about some pre draft news:

According to ProFootballTalk.com, the Steelers are interested in Donta Hightower. I definitely think that's a decent fit for them: http://profootballtalk.nbcsports.com/2012/04/26/steelers-and-donta-hightower-cant-shake-each-other/

According to Sal Paolantonio on NFL Live, the Jets won't be moving up for Trent Richardson. Will be interested in a defensive player. Makes sense in my opinion, because outside of Revis their defense has been lacking some talent lately. Their key players got old.

According to Tony Pauline, the 49ers have a lot of interest in Guard Amini Silatolu: http://www.rotoworld.com/player/nfl/7501/amini-silatolu

I can't wait for the draft to start!
