One of my favorite sporting events kicks off tonight. Historically I have been disappointed in my teams selections (Bears) but I was impressed with last year's draft and time will tell for this year. Who do you want your team to draft and who do you not want them to draft?

For me, want:
Jamal Adams, S, LSU
Solomon Thomas, DL, Stanford

Stay Away:
Any CB/QB

Go Packers, for the post above I hope Trubisky falls to #3 and the bears take him. For the defending NFC North champs we need a cornerback but I could see us taking the hometown boy TJ Watt who I'm not the biggest fan of. Think he's got the draft stock based on his last name and really only had one productive season.

Raiders pick 24th but with the team McKenzie has built we can afford to trade up or trade back. It's nice to finally have flexibility because we actually have some talent on the Roster. Still got a lot of holes on the defensive side of the Ball. Dream picks, Jamal Adams, Marshon Lattimore. Very happy picks (s) Jarred Davis, Malik Jackson, Johnathan Allen, Malik Hooker, Dalvin Cook, O.J Howard. But for the most part we need to fill defensive needs.

My poor Browns...
Pick 1 - Myles Garrett
Pick 2 - Try to trade it and get a couple more picks.
Pick 3 - Get whichever QB is still around... Watson, Mahomes? If both Qb's are gone, I would like to see them get Jabrill Peppers to help with their atrocious secondary.

My Vikings don't have a 1st round pick so tonight will suck but hopefully they get some OL and DL help in this draft somewhere

I don't follow college football other than the Duke games that I'm able to catch, so I don't know much about the college players but hope my Panthers draft the pieces that they need to help us rebound from last season and get us back like we were the season before

Wish my Giants would have gone with Cunningham, or that Davis fell to them. Got a TE that doesn't block instead, haha.

Hoping for the best. Show me what you got Engram!

Should help Beckham immensely if he can contribute year 1. Working up the seam will hedge the safety just long enough for Beckham to work 1 on 1. Offensive line is the glaring issue that continues to go unaddressed. did not want to see them reach last night in first round but in the upcoming rounds they really need to address it.

I about sh*t when they announced his name... taking applications for a new NFL team. Can't believe they would pass up Adams/Thomas, those are once in a decade kind of players. The worst part about it is now I'm going to have to watch those two tearing it up. I mean, i get it if they (Bears) think Mitch is the next Montana then fine, but why trade up one pick for him? Pace got played by a first year GM... kudos Lynch.

Sad to see so few Panthers fans on here...lol. I guess Duke is pretty national and the Panthers haven't been around too long. Anyways, I like the pick for Mcaffery assuming he stays healthy, but that's true for everyone
Big time panther fan. long time steeler fan before we finally got a team here in NC. Was kind of surprised with that pick. Panthers need defense next..

I watch a lot of college football and Engram is Jordan Reed without the injury issues, I see him being one of the best pass catching TEs in the league immediately. Definitely needs works on his blocking.

I'm a Niners fan, super happy we went Thomas over a QB and getting Foster that late was imcredible, as long as his shoulder is healing well.

As a Cowboys fan I like it. If somehow Randy Gregory could lay off the weed, that gives us 3 damn good pass rushers with the addition of Charlton. DB's become instantly better with a better pass rush. With that said, gotta go CB or S with the next pick imo.
Gotta go secondary here on out. I agree that a strong pass rush makes our secondary much better. Let's see what happens.

We need a secondary for sure. I'm ok with the first round pick as long as he is used as a slot receiver for Newton given if Newton can improve on his throwing.

newton needs to get back to his 2015 form. I don't know where his head was , a lot, this past season, but it was not in the game. I still feel like the Denver game, where he took all those hits to the head, might have set the tone for the season. I really hope that this year they will do more to protect the QB's from those type of hits. Thought they were supposed to before now.

I've always been a Colt fan. Will pull for the Panthers when not playing the Colts and think McAffery is a great pick. Would have liked the Colts to have gotten him but there just wasn't a way. OFC

Panthers fan and Washington Redskins. Family from DC but I'm born and raised in NC. McCaffrey is a good pick. Feel that getting Samuels to replace Ginn was amazing pick. Now defense back or Safety is must/ Oline could always use some help also.

Honestly, I think the line has been improving. Good young talent there with Pugh, Richburg, and Flowers. I'm more annoyed that we haven't gone for a top level linebacker. Really surprised they didn't grab Cunningham in the 2nd round.

Giants.really need Flowers to step up and become a legit LT and Richburg and Pugh to stay healthy. Hope the DT they got in round 2 can replace Hankins. Giants can be really good with a little more production on offense if the D stays dominant.

I've never been high on Newton. His line gave up on him a lot last season. Now they signed some youth and strength to help protect him but his predicatability was horrible. Plus teams wanted him to throw it especially when the run game wasn't working.
Our defense has always been good. The offense has always been predictable

I'm a Redskins and Panthers fan too. I grew up a Redskins fan and became a Panthers fan when they became an expansion team. It looks like the Redskins have 2 more picks left in the 7th round and the Panthers have 1 more pick left in the 7th round.

Washington boosted the defensive side of the ball. It was a major need. I do wish one of my teams would have grabbed Dalvin Cook while he was available he is going to kill Fantasy teams around the world Bank on it.... He is a better version of Warrick Dunn and or Devonta Freeman.. and faster too. I'm guaranteed to Target him in my next fantasy draft

I don't like the cook pick I think he runs to straight up with no side to side elusiveness ... yea he can run sideline to sideline in college but the NFL is way faster....there's a reason he fell and i don't think it's off the field stuff like some say ...not to mention his injuries .fumbles bad pass protection ...drops...and the big he plays for FSU.. just looks stiff to me ...inconsistent ...he just I guess reminds me of Murray cowboys ...straight line guy....I don't know where I stand on that pick ...I like the center pick, Bucky Hodges's , and Adams . The rest I'm not sure we'll see I guess ..I would have took mixon there if I wanted a rb that is..surprisingly we took no Qb..guess we'll bring one in FA ..or kicker ...what get me is ur facing off the field issues and questions anyway with cook,why not take the better back in mixon ..makes this very interesting given we traded up wit bengals took cook and they took mixon .somebodys going to look really smart and dumb

IMO mixon is not better than cook....and no way would I want that piece of garbage on my team....he found the perfect spot in Cincinnati with the rest of the garbage like burfict and Pac man

All of the picks in fine with...filled needs and cook won't have to play every down right off with Murray and McKinnon there
