self explanatory.
I like the Colts adding Fleener to go with Luck. Instant chemistry. TE's make QB's comfortable, and having the same one you had in College will help Luck.
Steelers adding 2 nasty oline men. Seems like its been a need for years now. DeCastro and Pouncey on the inside will be tough for defenses.
Patriots got 2 impact players on defense that can rush the QB and will make the defense better.
Browns could be on to something with Weeden and Richardson. Look what AJ Green and Dalton did in Cinci last year.
Chargers got possibly the best defensive player in the draft in Ingram, and Reyes should fight for a starting job immediately.
Eagles are getting high praise for hitting two home runs with Cox and Curry.

I was really impressed with the Steelers and Patriots. They added impact players at areas of need. _________________

I like the Cards taking Floyd and Fleming - especially as they're two rounds apart.
It's not sexy, but I'm liking what the Steelers have done so far. Ridiculous value snagging a blue chip prospect at 24 and a solid first round talent in Mike Adams at 56.
I don't like the fact we lost two picks on Jones and Hightower, so won't be taking the Patriots here. Maybe in years to come... _________________

Both the Steelers and Eagles had excellent combination of picks to start the draft. Cox and Curry should be special players and are great fits for the Eagles scheme.
The Steelers took advantage of value and got a big time OG prospect who should have gone earlier, and then got Adams, who appears to fit the mold of the perfect Steelers LT. A line of Adams, Pouncey and DeCastro is a start and gives them great young talent as Big Ben enters the mid point of his career. |

Chargers: Melvin Ingram + Kendall Reyes
When you can get one of the best Rush Backers and rush linemen in the same draft? Money...AJ actually had a good one! _________________

I think its right there between the Chargers and Steelers. Both sat and waited for player to drop to them and picked pure BPA (with guys like Still not an option due to the injury concerns, and even Worthy with Motor concerns). I think both got a guy who should've been an early 1st and a late 1st with their 1st and 2nd picks.
Its too tough for me to decide between these two teams, basically between 2 great DL and 2 great OL. I'll go with the Steelers just because of their tendency to ignore the need previous to these picks... _________________

Steelers just turned their glaring weakness into a strength with a Top 15 and a Top 20 pick in the first 2 rounds.
Ridiculous. _________________

Who was the top 20 pick they got?
Mike Adams is awful, so it couldnt have been him.. |

What he said. We got a the starting left side of our OL and slide Gilbert to RT so we filled 3 OL spots so far. WOW  _________________

Jury is very much out on him, but he's not going to want to let anyone down in Pittsburgh. Physically he's the perfect left-tackle prospect. _________________

I went with the Eagles.
I know if it had been Dallas taking Cox and Curry, I'd be doing Cartwheels of joy and anticipating our front 7 becoming an elite force. |

Between the Eagles and Steelers for me. I went with the Steelers as I think they got a little better value. _________________

Im not a huge Adams fan and dont think he was top 20 or even first round talent...but he definitely isnt awful. When he is on he is dominant and he still has huge upside. If he can get the right coaching he could be very good. I dont think he will ever be elite, but I do think he could be the best LT we have had since a young Marvel Smith in the early 2000s. _________________
