Are you happy with your team's draft picks?

And do you think it will make your team significantly stronger in coming season (assuming there is one).

    I'm pretty happy with the Lions' picks. I would have preferred them to trade down and get Jimmy Smith but Nick Fairley at 13 was too hard to pass up. Then we get Titus Young who can help us on the return game and maybe bust some big plays in the pass game. Then we get a big RB in Lesoure which was a need.

    We have a couple other needs that hopefully we get in free agency

    I am a big Redskins fan and I am up and down with the draft picks they made...I like the moves to get more picks...this was a great improvement over the last few drafts. I like Ryan Kerrigan and think he will be a good player but don't really see the point in drafting a guy that is very similar to Orakpo...both a pass rush focused and the Sins needed a coverage/run stop OLB for the 3-4. I also like that we picked up some young and I feel solid running backs and receivers...I think they will help the team this year or next. My biggest thing is the Redskins have a glaring hole at QB and did nothing to help fill it. McNabb is all but gone and then what? Are the Redskins banking on Rex Grossman? Are they hoping to find someone in free agency? This would have been one of the big things I would have changed...the Redskins need a QB and don't have one.

    Like dorm mentioned The Redskins did stable getting Orakpo at 13. they must have a ideal 5 protection next season with the addition of Haynesworth, Orakpo, and hall if all human beings maintains to be healthy. Even that third around guy they picked up must be very stable. The obtrusive hollow however is that sturdy linebacker place. i don't think of the loose brokers or the 5th and 6th around newbies they picked up will fill that hollow on the instant which ability HB Blades there. i understand they'll supply it to between the 5, whoever does appropriate in preseason. I additionally want they could have have been given an o-lineman with the third %. rather of that corner, yet you %. the right skills not inevitably the want.

    The 49ers overall had a solid draft, shoring up weaknesses (though we're still weak at CB) and putting together a few needed pieces. Still, I cannot be happy that we moved up in the draft to take Kaepernick instead of Mallett. Big-time arm, I could see him throwing bombs to Crabtree and Ginn for years to come. Kaepernick may do well, but I think that Mallett is going to be the real stud in the draft, especially after 3-4 years of backing up Brady.

    Yes indeed. Addressed needs and also got decent value.

    Round 1: Jimmy Smith/CB - Colorado

    Round 2: Torrey Smith/WR - Maryland

    Round 3: Jah Reid/OT - UCF

    Round 4: Tandon Doss/WR - Indiana

    Round 5: Chykie Brown/CB - Texas

    Round 5: Pernell McPhee/DE - Mississippi St.

    Round 6: Tyrod Taylor/QB - Virginia Tech

    Round 7: Anthony Allen/RB - Georgia Tech

    Would have like to see the Colts take Ingram instead of leaving him to the saints but i spose protecting peyton is a good shout, with him healthy and more time, we can finally use the best wide receiver core in the league!

    Saints had an excellent draft and were able to fill in some holes that needed to be filled. However, in the case of the Saints, it was merely a matter of the rich getting richer.

    i am a fan of the seahawks but i think we had a terrible draft. we still didnt get a QB. we had 2 chances to grab ryan mallet. so i think this season we will only be 7-9 again.

    Well, I love that the Raider's went with Stefen Weiznewski...but I wish they had gone with more O-line than speed Corners and what the hell is with the TE they picked? really?

    yeah we got some help on both sides for lineman...even though its boring to see your team pick a lineman in the first round
