I love all the “surprise” first round draft picks. Maybe, the people that actually get paid to make the picks know more than the people who just write about it.

I am willing to bet I could guess who is going to be good and who isn't better than kiper.

I quit watching the NFL draft specifically because of my dislike of Mel Kiper. He is an ESPN creation and totally devoid of talent as far as rating players. An untrained monkey could do better...I'll have to repent of these feelings if I tune in so I just abstain and watch reruns of Law and Order...LOL!

of course old helmet hair has an issue with the Ty pick. The only reason he hates it is because they didn't pick who he said they should. He loves the raiders pick because that is who he said it should be. How on earth that incompetent foul still has a job and is considered an expert in his field, I will never know. I mean he was supposed to quit when he declared he would if Jimmy Clausen wasn't a successful NFL QB. Clausen sucked and yet he still have that idiot.

there are a bunch of articles out there letting us know who "won the draft". It is so dumb, we actually don't know that. We won't know who "won the draft " for a couple of years. Based on history, we already know the raiders lost. Mendoza will end up somewhere else in 3 years or less and the raiders will again pick 1st and again a QB.

It was Ty Simpson's dream to be quarterback at Alabama. He achienmved that, and it was enough to get him drafted #13 in the NFL draft. I'm extremely happy for Ty. And I don't give a hoot what the naysayers say. I believe Ty will prove them wrong, and surprise folks with his success in the NFL.

Germie Bernard to the Steelers in the 2nd round made him the first player drafted out of Alabama since 2007 who was never coached by Saban.

I was reading the write ups on the Bama players yet to be drafted on SI. There was a common theme it seems. Most of the comments were, ‘needs to get stronger, needs to bulk up, needs add strength’ . After coach Yeah, Yeah and his power training methods led to perceived injuries, did we go too far the other direction with S&C?
