2011 NFL Draft Thread (Rounds 4-7 @ 12PM EST)

[SHOGUN]

Agreed on this. Good pick.
I know absolutely nothing about the TE we drafted..I'm guessing since the Cards never throw to the TE, he must be a blocker?
And as for the Ryan Williams pick...uhm..eh? I like the guy, don't get me wrong, but we've got 5 rb's now? Idk..I just hope its not LSH on the way out..

Nah, Housler is a raw receiver in the Jermichael Finley/Jimmy Graham mold. He a shitty blocker, but he tries hard. I guess this means they are actually going to use the tight end in the future, which would be welcomed.

It's most likely of the RBs it's Hightower that is going to be given the boot considering his fumble issues and contract.

[CaribbeanJoseph]

enlighten me, what makes him so horribly overrated?

Not very good against the run, poor tackler, won't be able to rely on his athleticism to get him out of trouble like he did in college, his football smarts/instincts/whatever you wanna call it are suspect, he's a decent pass rusher but that's down to his speed. I'd much rather we took Justin Houston who I think is a simialar prospect in terms of versatiliy, who has way more upside imo.

Got a speedster in Edmond Gates. 4.35 40 at the combine. Scouting report notes he is a bit of a project player, but explosive in the open field and isn't afraid to go over the middle.

PFW draft profile on him:

We got a steal in the 4th round IMO. Someone who can stretch the field vertically and allow Marshall to do his work.

I think Miami has had a nice, quiet, solid draft.

Definitely. I think it has been an excellent draft thus far and they are quietly getting pieces in place for that offense to be more of a threat this season.

[SHOGUN]

I hate the Patriots on draft day. Another value pick in Cannon.

[inthecards21]

Really love the Steelers draft so far. Got the 3-4 run stopping end, the solid o lineman and corners in the 3rd and 4th. I'm glad we're finally addressing these needs

[Bmore]

Cmon Skins... Draft Tyrod Taylor!!!

Nope he's a raven :D

Yea, that would be great if we could actually have a "threat" at TE.

And yea, that would be my guess as well. Sucks, but I'd much rather keep Wells and LSH. I've heard Wright may be retiring, so we could use a good pass blocker in the backfield. And the damn Dolphins took my boy Charles Clay was REALLY hoping he'd be in Cardinal red.

No QB is the only gripe, but they've had a solid draft.

Pouncey is a plug'n'play at guard. Thomas will be the #2 tailback if not start (Ricky is gone, and I wouldn't re-sign Ronnie for the money he wants). Gates is the speedster they needs. If he is a hit, that'll open up the offense a little bit. Clay will probably get some time, too.

Not bad, needed a quarterback though.

Just Stumped The Truck on NFL Network with Cameron Bradfield.

[BigBucs]

I loved out draft. Stocker, Foster, Bowers (crosses fingers) and that Gator kid looks like a steal.

U happy about Troy Smith 2.0? Thought ud be over that.

[QuietStorm]

I figured the Skins wouldn't draft him. They didn't like any of the QB's in this draft I guess.

[Bmore]

I'm happy with Flacco, but Tyrod will be a decent back up.

[inthecards21]

U happy about Troy Smith 2.0? Thought ud be over that.

almost exactly what i thought when i saw this, Troy Smith but not as good

[Obst]

Pat Devlin not getting drafted is pretty crazy, at one point he was a 3rd round projection. I thought Mark Herzlich and Joe Lefeged would go at some point in this draft too. I hope once the lockout is over the Jaguars can sign Mario Harvey, I really liked him and still think he could be a good linebacker in the league.
