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

[ThomasTomasz]

Falcons are DANGEROUS. I like the Ingram pick for New Orleans, that's great value for sure. But the Falcons are fucking dangerous now.

Oh and both teams made huge progress towards securing their places at the top of the NFC South without doing anything at all. Big ups Carolina, for taking the walking red flag known as Cam Newton.

It's a great day to be an Atlanta sports fan.

I'm sure that the Saints would have wanted to make another pick that wasn't Ingram, but with the potential injury risks that Bush and Thomas bring to the table, it was a very smart selection. It also makes one of them trade bait when the lockout ends.

Atlanta way overpaid for that pick.
It could be Herschel Walker bad if Cleveland makes the right picks.
You don't give up that many picks for a #2 WR.

 

[krulmichael]

Hope Ayers falls to Detroit at 43 tomorrow.

And what's all the bitching bout Locker? I got my money that he'll be the best QB out of this draft within the next 3 years. Bank on it.

 

[Tailback U]

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.

How many downs of football have you played?

 

[Tailback U]

How many downs of football have you played?

Enough to know that I don't know shit about how a college football player is going to do in the NFL.

How many nights in your life have you spent weeping in your own puddle of jizz?

 

[dave]

Enough to know that I don't know shit about how a college football player is going to do in the NFL.

I've played a few and know enough to know that it's ok for fans to be fans and speculate ... and not be a know it all asshole who thinks they're right because they've played the game.
The best players usually make the worst coaches and executives. Just sayin...

 

[inthecards21]

We can all make predictions based on what we see, its part of the fun of the draft.

And for the Julio Jones pick, they traded way too many picks for a guy that wasn't even the number 1 WR in the draft

 

[Primetime]

I played when I was 8-12 years old. I'm clearly more qualified to tell you who the best QB will be in 3 years than most of the forum. 4 years of experience. That's gotta be about 1500 downs.

 

[NAHSTE]

I'm a huge Kaepernick fan. Can't wait to see where he lands. If I were the Redskins I'd get Kaepernick at 16 and maybe Jonathan Baldwin with that 2nd round pick if he's there. All of a sudden you have an offense with potential.

:jonesy:

 

[Tailback U]

Hey I said carry on, didn't I? assholes.

But hey, I'll get in on the fun.

LOL @ Aso thinking Kaepernick is gonna be good. Are you a fucking idiot?

LOL @ Krulmichael thinking Locker is going to be the best QB in this class. Guy is a fucking grade A loser. Hasn't won shit his entire life. You're a fucking moron, too. You know half as much as my cock does.

LOL @ the Lions drafting Fairley and Suh. Somebody compared that to Stroud and John Henderson. Look how many superbowls and playoff games those 2 won for the Jags. Dumb pick.

LOL @ People criticizing the Falcons for taking Jones. Who cares who they traded for Jones. They are trying to win a Super Bowl. Jones was clearly the best weapon available and a need. They just become scary good on offense. I know this because I played football and know that Julio Jones is a sure fire stone cold lock to be an absolute stud. If you don't think so then you obviously haven't played football.

More to come soon, stay tuned!

 

[krulmichael]

lol seriously now, does ANYONE know how these guys are gonna do when they get to the NFL? No, they don't. Even the supposed experts Mel Kiper and Todd McShay. It's just their job to study allllll those statistics and film and to make THEIR opinions from what they see. They don't know how these guys are gonna do either, their just like all us with opinions, except their paid for it. Like Inthecards said, it's just part of the fun the draft brings.

 

[dave]

Hey I said carry on, didn't I? assholes.

Just say it - "You have a point Dave, you dumb fuck."

Mike Singletary played football (at a slightly higher level than you) and sucked as a coach and talent evaluator.
Jerry Rice isn't a coach or talent evaluator ... and played at a slightly higher level than you.
Wayne Gretzky was an NHL head coach (and played at a slightly higher level than you) and sucked as a coach.

 

[Tailback U]

Just say it - "You have a point Dave, you dumb fuck."

And what point is that?

That none of us know shit?

Cuz that's the point I was making, not you.

But you're trying to say you have more of a point because you had as many touchdowns as Al Bundy in high school ... and dismissing everyone else because they're not Al Bundy.

 

[Tailback U]

But you're trying to say you have more of a point because you had as many touchdowns as Al Bundy in high school ... and dismissing everyone else because they're not Al Bundy.

1. I didn't ever say I played football.

2. I didn't say I knew any more than anyone else.

3. You're obviously not getting it.

3a. Nobody knows shit. I find it amusing that so many of you are so confident about how a guy will turn out. Is that ok with you?

4. You are taking this way too seriously.

5. Al Bundy had a wife who he fucked, a family, and real life friends. Don't you ever compare yourself to Al Bundy ever again.

 

[Colonel Angus]

Still can't believe Bowers, a guy slated as a consensus number one at first, fell all the way out of the first day. I think my shock lies in the discrepancy and not the level of player. I think there are some legitimate concerns there with the injuries. As far as the packers not picking him, I tried to figure out where they could play him and the only thing I could think of was a situational pass rusher. Situational players are not taken in the first round.

In the end I was hoping for a sexy pick out of Green Bay but I also knew deep down they needed another tackle. Sherrod looks like a good one and he fell to them, so I think it was a good pick.

He compared you to Bundy, not himself. Still applies though.

And, no, it doesn't apply Carl.
