Bringing up this post... the AFC West, NFC South and NFC West close at April 16th 12:01 AM Mountain Time Clady/Seymour is the only match of controversy here.

Let's call this the halfway point. Topics close at April 15th 12:01 AM Mountain Time This division looks to be pretty cut and dry, Chris Johnson / DeMeco Ryans is the only semi-close one.

OJ played in the NFC West last year so I'm going by that.

Attaboy, the Great White Hope rolls on.

It's a good idea since we don't have any real late rounders. It'd be a shame to pass up on Dareus if we had to trade too far down, but if we were to swap with Cincy, we'd probably still be able to get our pick of Dareus or Peterson.

And here is the final count.

Ryan Clady was the only upset I took this round.

My upsets were Mebane, Hawthorne and Campbell

heads up tournaments are pretty cool. I'd be up for another one of those if we're doing one tonight. Won't be able to play Wednesday so it evens out.

Lewis and Ryans were my upsets.

One of those field goals should be for us not the Giants.

Byakko rape face.

They already did best edge rushers... why did they include some of those players on this list. I get what they were trying to get at, but they should restrict this to inside backers and 4-3 outside backers.

I love how everyone forgets about Joe Webb. *sigh*

Headlines are good, Daniel and Brock are good, why can't we have either of these guys on the Knights? Oh well, back to being the most underrated player in the league.

Definitely the toughest first round so far. The only ones I'm sure of are Polamalu > Mack Roeth > Joseph Thomas > Rice Ngata > Wallace I went with Haden > Whitworth Harrison > Woodley Reed > Lewis Suggs > Hall for the others.
