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

My only fear with Paterson in Arizona, is that he'll be a safety.

Same staff didn't know how to use Antrel at corner (previous one didn't either)...moved him to safety and had success, but not quite at the level he was projected to either.

Antrel and PP7 are similar as players. Peterson a little better of an athlete.

What need does Julio fill exactly?

As for the Lions, strange pick. It's a sexy pick to think about the potential run defense and QB sacks but how can they pass on a potential franchise left tackle? It's almost as if they like watching Stafford clutching his shoulder.

Contrary to popular belief, while not being the best player ever, Backus is a solid left tackle. He gets a lot of undue hatred though.

Pardon me, gentlemen.



I do believe it's time for me to shut shit down.

I want to groan you only because i'm jealous...

Different coaching staff. Pendergast loved playing Rolle off man and Horton already said that they were moving to more zone.

Tell me why this is a bad thing. He is a cornerback 1st, but a move to safety is not a bad thing. It would give him the freedom to roam and make plays. I'm sure he prefers corner and I would love for him to stay at corner, but if he is forced to move to safety then that is OK with me

He knew where he was going. He was dressed in red. That man is ready to fuck some shit up.

That red was for the 49ers

Naw I'm not mad, I'm just talking. I did want the 49ers to draft him though.

Aren't you a Saints fan? Or is it just because he went to LSU?

[Rayman]

LOL @ how many draft experts we have on VSN.

Some of you are worse than Mel Kiper. Most of us don't know shit, some of you haven't even played a down of football in your entire life, but you read a few quotes or see a 5 minute highlight tape and think you know how a guy is going to turn out.

It's quite amusing. Carry on.

Think you said this exact quote last year

I am indeed a Saints fan, but my love for Patrick Peterson extends further than my bond with my beloved Saints.

[EmpireWF]

So if it's Patrick Peterson vs. your beloved Saints in the championship game....who you pulling for?

It will be a constant fest for me. I'm a winner either way, but if I had to make a choice it would be Saints.

Reggie Bush on Mark Ingram selection: 'It's been fun New Orleans'

Reggie Bush didn't seem to take the New Orleans Saints' drafting of RB Mark Ingram as a good sign.

Bush, who's due $11.8 million in salary next season, said this on Twitter after the Ingram pick:

"It's been fun New Orleans."

Saints GM Mickey Loomis said drafting Bush wasn't a sign that the team wants to jettison Bush. He said Bush is still in the team's plans.

But likely at a cheaper price.

Bush said in January he wanted to return to the Saints and knew he would likely have to re-negotiate his contract at a lower salary.
