You'd think after blowing two 14 point leads, the Ravens would be concerned with their defense.
 
They got the rule change they wanted---they feel they are all set now.

Man, that Golson highlight reel looked a lot like Ty Law.  Would have been great to see him go to the Pats in a few picks.

If the Pats are looking for a Vereen replacement, I'd love to see them take a late round flyer on one of the FCS kids.  David Johnson from Northern Iowa (although he will probably go earlier), Zenner from South Dakota State, Varga from Yale.  All of whom caught the ball and were huge playmakers in college, but don't necessarily have the combine times that would scream third down back. 
 
For my money, the best back left on the board is Tevin Coleman from Indiana.  Jeremy Langford from Michigan State is interesting too.  Javorious Allen, now apparently known as "Buck"(I assume it's the same guy) is an enigma.  I thought he was an underclassmen, and didn't get a lot of touches through the years, but could be a stud.

Ok, but why not rank them? If you think a linebacker is probably to small to start for your team, why not consider his special teams value or the chance that you are wrong. Just because you think other people have a 4th round grade on a player shouldn't stop you from putting a 6th round grade on them.
Well, I'm sure they look at stuff like special teams and that factors in. But there are probably guys they look at that they don't like as fits and don't like as special teamers. Then they're looking at drafting guys that have only a tiny chance of making the team.

Did anyone else want to see Adrian Wilson jump right over the podium?

Did the Bucs just move into Indy's spot ... or were they always there?

Big fan of Golson.  Would have loved to have seen the Pats grab him.  Kid had like 14 picks last year.  Nobody else had more than 8 or so.  I don't care what his "numbers" say, guys that find ways to get to the ball, find ways to get to the ball.  Plenty of guys without the greatest physical talents have come through Foxboro and shined because they just made plays by being where they were supposed to be. Football IQ beats physical talent, maybe not all the time, but quite a bit.

Raiders are probably pissed.  Cowboys took their troubled guy.
 
Do they really want to mix Gregory and Hardy?
