The first round was weird. A lot of teams reached for QBs. I don't think Gabbert will be great, but the Titans should have either picked him or traded out of their spot, because they reached on Jake Locker. As for my team's pick... Mike Pouncey.... fills a need, he's a good player, but not a very sexy pick. I would have liked to see them trade their first for more picks.

As a Bills fan, I'm hopeful that this is the start of rebuilding the defense. We now have a solid 1-2 DT pair that we can use in a 4-3 and I'm curious as to how they're going to spin this into a 3-4 scheme.
Personally Buffalo doesnt have any of the correct talent for a 3-4 scheme and I thought it was a mistake from the onset. Detroit just got friggin scary. Fairly AND Suh. Good day for Detroit Fans.

I think Tennessee had figured that they wouldn't have a shot at Gabbert and so had locked in on Locker way before the draft so when their turn came and Gabbert was still available they weren't prepared.
No way Locker should have gone before Gabbert. Same with Ponder going before Dalton. What was Minnesota thinking? Ponder was a REACH at 12. They could have dealt back a couple of spots and still gotten Ponder. They probably could have still gotten him in the second round. Atlanta's move wasn't that big a deal, I don't think. They wanted an impact player and they moved up to get who they thought would be the impact player. And I really didn't thinkt there would be alot of people trading back up into the end of the first to get Dalton or Mallet. Not after Seattle passed at 25. At that point, most times figured they could get better deals moving up to the top of the 2nd round. The Pats phone is probably off the hook with teams looking to get the first pick of the 2nd round tonight.

not to argue with you, but how do you know if its gonna be dumb or not?scouting and playing in the nfl are 2 complete different things. jamarcus russle was first over all pick and people thought he was the best pick. wrong. who knows if gabbert wont be a bust. qb draft picks are way too hard to scout due to personal, schemes, and ability to adjust. what pick was tom brady again????

But then what would be the point of holding things like the Combine, scouting reports, pre-draft workouts, private visits, etc.. There is a system. It's all educated guessing. You don't know how it's going to turn-out in the end. No one is pyschic. But you make comparasions based on college stats, the Combine, etc.. And all the "experts" (it's more technically to call them educated guessers) and scouts had Gabbert ranked higher then any other QB prospect except Newton. If you don't buy into the educated guessing system that's in place, then don't even bother with any pre-draft work-ups or stats, just start throwing darts at names. I called Minnesota stupid for making the pick because it was a waste of the spot. They could have had Ponder at a higher first round pick, better value, or even early in the second round.
