2011 NFL Draft E-mails – Random NFC Comments and Prospect Questions



  • From Nate:

    I would love if the Rams selected Cameron Jordan, then selected Martez Wilson or Rahim Moore, Titus Young (who seems to be falling),John Moffitt and then Taiwan Jones. I think that would be an excellent draft.


    –> Per reports, the Rams aren’t into Cameron Jordan. The St. Louis Post-Dispatch’s Jim Thomas has written that the Rams see Jordan as a “rich man’s Victor Adeyanju,” St. Louis’ fourth-round pick in 2006 who is no longer with the team.



  • From Falcons Pick Will Not Be Right:

    I totally big time dis agree about Brooks Reed to the Falcons. I think Brooks should be a 5 or 6 rounder.


    –> Well, that’s your opinion. Brooks Reed will go in the first round (or top of the second at the latest) because pass rushers are a premium in the NFL, and he possesses immense upside.

    Reed is the type of player the Falcons are looking for, like it or not.





  • From Vikings Fann:

    vikes dont need a TE they need like 2 WR


    –> Like it or not, the Vikings will be targeting a tight end in the 2011 NFL Draft. Visanthe Shiancoe has been a disappointment, and he’ll be a free agent following the 2011 season.



  • From Dan:

    Waaaay off on jake locker. He will go in the middle of the first round no question.


    –> If you say so. I mean, why shouldn’t a 2-year project with miserable accuracy, decision-making and football IQ go in the middle of the first round?





  • From Dylan:

    Why did you put Randall Cobb over Torrey Smith and Jonathan Baldwin?


    –> Randall Cobb’s generating some serious buzz right now, whereas Jonathan Baldwin has character concerns and Torrey Smith’s small hands may be an issue. These prospects could go in any order though.



  • From Sam:

    Duuude Bowers at 24… are you high.


    –> Because teams are going to be lining up to draft a one-year wonder who needs knee surgery.
