Thought I'd start a discussion for the big day that's about 2 weeks out- post your thoughts on your teams needs.
Also holding a draft-day get together . I'm planning on making some form of barbeque in the smoker that's otherwise to be determined. I think the other intention is to turn the draft on, play games between picks, and pause to watch each selection. Anyone in the Austin area is welcome to stop by- I just need to know numbers so I'm preparing an appropriate amount of food.

Cleveland team needs: everything.
They really could go anywhere with the #5. Curry. Oropeko. Crabtree. Mark Sanchez. Even Jason Smith if he's there.
A lot of people expect Braylon to be gone by draft leaving them with ZERO on the receiving end.

Dallas needs another CB, S, WR and O lineman. I've heard talk they're trying to aquire Boldin, but I think we'd have to give up too much to get him.

Players invited to the draft:
Michael Crabtree Aaron Curry Brian Cushing Josh Freeman Eugene Monroe Michael Oher Brian Orakpo Jason Smith Matthew Stafford
Should they just go ahead and escort Josh Freeman to the green room now?

Wow, it's going to suck for Freeman. He'll definitely be the last.

Also just learned that Matt Stafford and Jason Smith have the same agent, Tom Condon.
That has to be weird when negotiating with the Lions, who are purportedly interested in both players.

Last night I had a dream that the Browns packaged their first and second round draft picks to trade up for the #1 overall pick. Then for some reason they traded away that #1 overall for a late first rounder and a third rounder.
I need help.

Was Matt Millen in your dream?

My worst fear is running thru the rumor mill...the Lions are looking at drafting a QB #1. Will they ever learn? ?

Here's what I don't understand about Detroit. No matter who they draft this year, they're still gonna go 2-14 or 3-13 or something like that. They'll be drafting in the top 3 again next year. Next year's QB class is going to be great. I think most of the guys coming out next year are infinitely better than Stafford. Why not draft a good lineman this year, and then take a REAL franchise QB next year?
Does that make sense only to me?

I totally agree! Want to be GM for Detroit, Chad?

I know one thing, I don't much about football strategy, but I guarantee you I could GM a team and not go 0-16.

That's a great point, Chad. I don't know anything about the 2010 QB class, but it does seem like no one's ga-ga over Stafford. And you can't afford a bust QB at #1 overall. Too expensive. If you're going to screw up on that top pick, better it's a lineman: cheaper and less volatile when they do bust.
Teams seem to feel obligated to pick a QB when it's #1. Makes no sense. It's not nearly as cost effective as any other position and you're right : they could just grab a QB next year when they're 4 or 5.

On a similar note: does this whole Mark Sanchez thing seem doomed from the start, or what?
