Ill do my best, sir! How about a little bit of Vontaze Burfict for the Chiefs in round 1...? ;-)

[niel89]

I'm glad the Ravens have a good GM. Don't be afraid to trade down and get more value.

Hit'em with that... Sweet!

[MI_Buckeye]

I called in with the answer to that trivia question, but got knocked off when the show ran long. It was Michael Jasper of Bethel selected by the Bills.

[SunTzu_22]

Before Im off to bed (Its 4.20 in the morning over here) I just wanna thank Scott and Shane for having me on the show. Been battling a cold for the last week, so my voice got a little bit raspy in the end, but I hope you guys enjoyed it as much as I did :-)

You did awesome Klaus!

[Shane P. Hallam]

Thanks! It was a ton of fun. Klaus, Chris, Scott, and I all enjoyed doing it.

Hope everyone listened in!

I really don't understand the Upshaw to Cleveland pick at all. I'm going to have to listen in to hear why.

I just went BPA, tis all. Is Frostee Rucker really the answer? Ehhhh

Sorry Shane, I can't get behind Upshaw there. I know he has a lot of fans, but I think he's one of those pass rushers that's going to fall. Cleveland, it's been beaten to death but I'm going to say it again, absolutely needs to find offensive talent with their first 2-3 picks. Pass rush is still a need, yes, but as was said I really believe they like both Rucker and Parker. WR or OL I truly believe will be the pick here barring something extreme happening.

Btw, kudos to Klaus for the Curry to Chicago pick. Ballsy.

[holt_bruce81]

Fletcher Cox isn't going to be a sexy pick in St. Louis, but I can definetly get behind it. Nice pick Shane.

Hey, good KC pick my man! Can't be mad bout Kuechly at all.

[Sveen]

Just started listening, but just wanted to say that Klaus is doing a great job! His analysis of the third pick was spot on. Love how Draft Countdown is going international!

Best regard from a close "neighbor".

[1funguy]

Cordy Glenn over DeCastro or Hightower for the Chargers????

I get the versatility thing but DeCastro is a stud & Hightower would be a more-than-able rotation guy for Spikes.

I can't buy into Glenn for the Bolts at 18.

[PossibleCabbage]

This is not a complaint about anybody in particular, but Kuechly to KC is one of the picks that I'm seeing everybody make that I absolutely hate.

Why would Kansas City take Kuechly when Hightower is such a better fit for the system and such a better complement to Derrick Johnson? If they take an ILB that high (and history has borne out that taking an ILB that high who's not a pass-rusher isn't a great decision) why wouldn't they take the one who's a better fit for their defense and their personnel? Between DJ and Kuechly you still don't have any ILBs who are good at taking on blocks, and KC lines up the DL so the guards are uncovered. This is not a good thing.

I really expect Kansas City to trade down given that situation, but I really don't think they like Kuechly more than they like Hightower, and I really don't think they'd take Kuechly over Hightower.
