Fun Bobby had a really good draft considering what he had to work with, but Razor's was absolute destruction.

Tampa Bay Buccaneers GM: GoodellFTL Players Selected: 11 Trades Made: 0 Draft Moves: -Drafted DT Gerald McCoy 3rd overall -Drafted WR Arrelious Benn 35th overall -Drafted CB Patrick Robinson 42nd overall -Drafted DE Greg Hardy 67th overall -Drafted HB LeGarrette Blount 101st overall -Drafted WR Dezmon Briscoe 153rd overall -Drafted SS Harry Coleman 172nd overall -Drafted OT Drew Davis 210th overall -Drafted WR Chris McGaha 217th overall -Drafted DE Will Tukuafu 232nd overall -Drafted CB Brian McCann 253rd overall (compensatory pick) New Orleans Saints GM: ATL4Ever Players Selected: 5 Trades Made: 0 Draft Moves: -Drafted CB Kyle Wilson 32nd overall -Drafted DE Jason Worilds 64th overall -Drafted OLB Eric Norwood 95th overall -Drafted HB Anthony Dixon 130th overall -Drafted SS Cody Grimm 239th overall

ATL's draft was good; NBB's was great.

Indianapolis Colts GM: SteVo Players Selected: 8 Trades Made: 0 Draft Moves: -Drafted C Maurkice Pouncey 31st overall -Drafted OLB Daryl Washington 63rd overall -Drafted TE Rob Gronkowski 94th overall -Drafted OT Jason Fox 129th overall -Drafted OLB Roddrick Muckelroy 162nd overall -Drafted CB David Pender 238th overall -Drafted FS Van Eskridge 240th overall (compensatory pick) -Drafted DE Danny Batten 246th overall (compensatory pick) Pittsburgh Steelers GM: Sarge Players Selected: 10 Trades Made: 0 Draft Moves: -Drafted WR Dez Bryant 18th overall -Drafted SS Chad Jones 52nd overall -Drafted ILB Sean Lee 82nd overall -Drafted OT Selvish Capers 116th overall -Drafted DE Brandon Deadrick 151st overall -Drafted FB Garrett Graham 164th overall (compensatory pick) -Drafted DE Clifton Geathers 166th overall (compensatory pick) -Drafted CB Devin Ross 188th overall -Drafted OT Chris Marinelli 225th overall -Drafted OG Reggie Stephens 242nd overall (compensatory pick)

Tougher call than you'd think for a 3 vs. 14 match, but I think I did better here, though not by much. I agree with BLUE; Chad Jones very well might have turned into an elite player without the car accident, and that would've mean Sarge hit on his first three picks like I did. I voted for Sarge in the interest of being a good sport.

Detroit Lions GM: DonovanMcnabb for H.O.F Players Selected: 8 Trades Made: 1 Draft Moves: -Drafted DT Ndamukong Suh 2nd overall -Traded 2nd and 3rd round pick (34th and 66th overall) to Packers for 1st, 3rd, and 4th round pick (26th, 86th, 122nd overall) -Drafted OG Mike Iupati 26th overall -Drafted HB Ben Tate 86th overall -Drafted OT Tony Washington 100th overall -Drafted CB/KR Javier Arenas 122nd overall -Drafted OLB Perry Riley 133rd overall -Drafted WR/KR Trindon Holliday 214th overall -Drafted CB Crezdon Butler 255th overall (compensatory pick) Green Bay Packers GM: Packers Dynasty 2010 Players Selected: 7 Trades Made: 2 Draft Moves: -Traded 1st and 5th round pick (23, 154) to Cardinals for 1st and 4th round pick (26, 123) -Traded 1st, 3rd, and 4th round pick (26, 86, 122) to Lions for 2nd and 3rd round pick (34, 66) -Drafted HB Jahvid Best 34th overall -Drafted OT Roger Saffold 56th overall -Drafted CB Amari Spevey 66th overall -Drafted SS Kurt Coleman 123rd overall -Drafted OLB Cameron Sheffield 169th overall (compensatory pick) -Drafted KR LeRoy Vann 193rd overall -Drafted OT Mike Tepper 230th overall

This is probably the closest match of the first round, even though it's 4 vs. 13. I actually think the Packers had the better draft, but the tipping point for me is the trade between these two teams. Fitting that DMac is probably going to be the one who eliminates PD2010 because he totally raped him in that trade.

Jacksonville Jaguars GM: Vindifference Players Selected: 6 Trades Made: 0 Draft Moves: -Drafted QB Sam Bradford 10th overall -Drafted OG Mike Johnson 74th overall -Drafted DE C.J. Wilson 108th overall -Drafted MLB Jamar Chaney 143rd overall -Drafted CB/S Myron Lewis 180th overall -Drafted OT/G Chris Scott 203rd overall (compensatory pick) Minnesota Vikings GM: Vindifference Players Selected: 9 Trades Made: 1 2011 Draft Picks Aquired: 1st rounder (Bengals), 4th rounder (Bengals) Draft Moves: -Traded 1st round pick (30) to Bengals for 2nd, 4th, (54, 120), 2011 1st, and 2011 4th round pick -Drafted FS Morgan Burnett 54th overall -Drafted OG Jon Asamoah 62nd overall -Drafted CB Akwasi Owusu-Ansah 93rd overall -Drafted DT D'Anthony Smith 120th overall -Drafted QB John Skelton 128th overall -Drafted WR Blair White 161st overall -Drafted HB Joique Bell 167th overall (compensatory pick) -Drafted DE Daniel Te'o-Nesheim 199th overall -Drafted OLB Arthur Moats 237th overall

Vikings. The Bradford pick was a steal for the Jags, but Minny's draft was better top to bottom. Nice job, Vin.

Tennessee Titans GM: Rodgers2Driver Players Selected: 9 Trades Made: 0 Draft Moves: -Drafted FS Earl Thomas 16th overall -Drafted DT Lamarr Houston 77th overall -Drafted WR Jacoby Ford 97th overall (compensatory pick) -Drafted DE Alex Carrington 111th overall -Drafted TE Jimmy Graham 148th overall -Drafted MLB Daryl Sharpton 185th overall -Drafted QB Sean Canfield 207th overall (compensatory pick) -Drafted CB Walter Thurmond 222nd overall -Drafted OG Shelley Smith 241st overall (compensatory pick) Arizona Cardinals GM: SteVo Players Selected: 9 Trades Made: 3 Draft Moves: -Traded 1st and 4th round pick (26, 123) to Packers for 1st and 5th round pick (23, 154) -Drafted DE/OLB Jerry Hughes 23rd overall -Traded 2nd and 3rd round pick (58, 89) to Seahawks for 2nd and 6th round pick (40, 176) -Drafted ILB Navorro Bowman 40th overall -Traded 3rd round pick (88) to Redskins for 4th, 5th, and 7th round pick (103, 135, 211) -Drafted QB Tim Tebow 103rd overall -Drafted DE Austen Lane 135th overall -Drafted TE Dennis Pitta 154th overall -Drafted FB Rashawn Jackson 176th overall -Drafted ILB Micah Johnson 195th overall -Drafted K Brett Swenson 211th overall -Drafted DE/OLB Kevin Basped 233rd overall

I still think I had a really good draft with Arizona, and I'm proud of it, but Bangy did really good with the Titans. No shame in losing this one.

Atlanta Falcons GM: Tridentdawgpound Players Selected: 10 Trades Made: 1 Draft Moves: -Traded 1st round pick (19) to Eagles for 1st, 3rd, and 4th round pick (24, 87, 121) -Drafted DE Jason Pierre-Paul 24th overall -Drafted DT Geno Atkins 83rd overall -Drafted OG Zane Beadles 87th overall -Drafted WR Jordan Shipley 98th overall (compensatory pick) -Drafted CB Perrish Cox 117th overall -Drafted OLB Thaddeus Gibson 121st overall -Drafted HB James Starks 149th overall -Drafted TE Colin Peek 165th overall (compensatory pick) -Drafted OT Ed Wang 171st overall -Drafted SS Barry Church 189th overall Cleveland Browns GM: Fun Bobby Players Selected: 11 Trades Made: 0 Draft Moves: -Drafted CB Joe Haden 7th overall -Drafted TE Jermaine Gresham 38th overall -Drafted SS Reshad Jones 71st overall -Drafted HB Montario Hardesty 92nd overall -Drafted DE/OLB George Selvie 105th overall -Drafted CB Syd'Quan Thompson 134th overall -Drafted QB Jarrett Brown 137th overall -Drafted WR Andre Roberts 146th overall -Drafted C/G Ted Larsen 160th overall -Drafted OT Kevin Haslam 177th overall -Drafted DT Nate Collins 186th overall

Tough choice here, but I feel like Trident did a little better. The first two picks, both hits, would have solved Atlanta's issues on the defensive line.

Houston Texans GM: FartWaffles Players Selected: 8 Trades Made: 0 Draft Moves: -Drafted CB Devin McCourty 20th overall -Drafted HB Toby Gerhart 51st overall -Drafted FS Major Wright 81st overall -Drafted DT Vince Oghobaase 118th overall -Drafted CB Trevard Lindley 150th overall -Drafted HB Charles Scott 187th overall -Drafted OLB Kavell Connorr 197th overall -Drafted WR Antonio Brown 227th overall Oakland Raiders GM: Sarge Players Selected: 9 Trades Made: 0 Draft Moves: -Drafted OT Trent Williams 8th overall -Drafted DT Brian Price 39th overall -Drafted QB Colt McCoy 69th overall -Drafted WR Eric Decker 85th overall -Drafted MLB Pat Angerer 106th overall -Drafted OG Jeff Byers 138th overall -Drafted FS Terrell Skinner 158th overall -Drafted OLB O'Brien Schofield 215th overall -Drafted CB Patrick Stoudamire 251st overall (compensatory pick)

Oakland. I still say Fart had the pick of the draft in taking McCourty with Kyle Wilson still on the board, but Sarge had a better overall draft.

Verrrrry interesting if this is true. Some other interesting tidbits from the same article:

It's a possibility, but definitely not a lock. Actually I'd call it a remote possibility because Andy Reid really likes Mike Kafka.

Per confirmation with ATL, the Atlanta falcons select DE Pernell McPhee, Mississippi State. The New England Patriots (RANGA) are now on the clock. Again.

Previously, administrators could PM up to twenty people and global mods could PM up to six. We have now reconfigured it so that g-mods can PM up to twenty members, and that power has been extended to elite members and forum mods as well.

Oh, I thought everybody had the ability to PM multiple people. Guess it's only admins, and maybe g-mods too. I'll see what I can do.

Just for shits and gigs, here is the calculated GPA for all 31 drafting teams (the Panthers were auto-picked) of last year's game based on voting.

Now that the season recaps/offseason previews are done, it is time to focus TGP radio's attention on the upcoming NFL Draft. This Saturday night will be the first of many shows related to just that. On this particular show, FartWaffles, RazorStar, and I will be running a mock draft of the first round. No picks will be pre-planned; we will be doing it live. Since it is unfeasible to discuss 32 picks in 30 minutes, the show will run over. We will only be broadcasting live for 30 minutes, and the archive will then pick up the entire show. The show will most likely not take longer than 60 minutes. The show is officially scheduled for this Saturday night, 12:00AM EST (technically Sunday), 11:00PM CST, etc.
