[TheBoyWonder22]

Just saw I was up, let me see if my guy was taken.

[BeerBaron]

Be quick about it.

[Unbiased]

Gerald Hodges in the 4th is one of my favorite picks of this draft.

[fenikz]

Sorry! Should have hit me up on twitter. Thought I was in IRC, I wasn't. Pick is made.

[Shane P. Hallam]

Seahawks (really like how this went)

1. Justin Hunter WR/TEN
2. Jermichael Finley (via trade)
3. Sharrif Floyd DT/Florida
4. Kevin Reddick LB/UNC

[fenikz]

I just meant in general, didn't even know you were up

Now that I understand your sig I find it hilariously cheesy - hilarious nonetheless.

I think Seahawks fans would be happy with that!

Yo.

Sucks to do that for a division rival though.

I like Jones. I'm sure he's a punctual young man who only means well. But I have no idea where they'd play Jones, and do so effectively. They already have Akeem Ayers at SLB, and already don't take full advantage of his blitzing capability. They're certainly not playing a 6'3, 241 lbs. guy at DE. So they'd have to play Jones at WLB for the first two downs, move him to RE on 3rd down/passing down, and then punch Zach Brown square in the testicles. He's just sipping Gatorade on the sideline, minding his own business.

Ok, so maybe it's not all bad. I just reeeeally want Star Lotulelei. I think he makes the team better, especially since the team is 24th in the league in rush defense. It's ok, though. I didn't care much for Zach Brown anyway.

Roos is a 2015 FA. He's incorrectly labeled on some sites like Spotrac. I can't justify taking an OT with the litany of needs the Titans have. So much talent left on the board, especially at S and DE, and Dallas Thomas is a friggin' stud.

OG and CB were fine, given the circumstances, although CB seems like just a rehash of last year when they took Coty Sensabaugh in the 4th RD. The Matthews pick is just unforgivable, though. JBond gave the Titans an OT in one of his mocks, and even Pit Bull came out and voiced against it. This defense isn't just bad. It could be historically bad. You can't take an OT in the 2nd RD and ignore that, especially when both OT's could be under contract for two more years (Stewart is a 2014 FA with an option for an extra year).

Yeah appreciate it. But in all honesty I would have taken him or Reddick. Either way it was a good pick.

[Shane P. Hallam]

Board sent to BB. I'm out for the night!

1. Barkevious Mingo DE
2. Josh Gordon WR (Supplemental Draft)
3. Arthur Brown LB

[Todd Bertuzzi]

Gilleslee was the reason I would have been up for a 5th round. Sec speeds ftw

I operated under the assumption that Roos was a 2014 FA and if I had known that wasn't the case then that would've changed my approach in rounds 2 and 3. I likely would've taken Dallas Thomas in round two instead.

[Matthew Jones]

I'm going to be in class until 3:30, so I've left my cell with BeerBaron, Hines, and TBW.

[draftguru151]

Thanks for the PM. :/

I changed the pick.

[Hines]

Are we doing a fifth or are we done after this?

[BeerBaron]

We're done after this.

[derza222]

Jets will get a pick up soon.

EDIT:
Trade sent in to BB.

[BeerBaron]

Sorry for the delay there. I was waiting for the other end of that trade when my work computer started having problems. Fixed now.
