I'm a Bears fan. The consensus is that we're going d-line with our 1st pick (19), specifically d-end to compliment Peppers on the other side. Because of the QB talent in the NFC north I do agree it's very important to have a heavy hitting pass rush, however I wouldn't be opposed to drafting Floyd, WR, if he falls to us. Some names mentioned as potential DE picks are; Whitney Mercilus, Quinton Coples, Chandler Jones, Nick Perry.
Who's your guy?

Any of those guys would help the Bears. Have they ever addressed their O line problems? I would think that would be an area of concern.
There is little drama here in Redskins land. Our brain trust thought it was a good idea to mortgage the future to move up and draft RG III. He's undoubtedly one of the most exciting prospects in years, but I feel they way overpaid, not that that's anything new for them. So we swapped firsts with st. L and also gave up this year's second and the next two year's firsts.
The first bit of drama will be at the three slot with the Vikes. Kalil feels a need, although he seems to be a stretch there. Maybe a trade down happens. Or they go with a CB.
Interesting as well to see what the Browns and Dolphins end up doing. Will they go QB?

I have to say I have spent less time reading about the draft every year. I guess I have an issue with marketing hype, and should just remember enjoying talking about it with friends. I have quit reading the crap, and wait until its done for the past couple years to evaluate what was done.
At the same time, being that you mention the Bears, there is no hope for you. LOL That is from a lifetime Packer fan. I enjoy the rivalries more than anything. I've paid out a lot of beer over the years, and been paid a lot of beer. Now that is enjoyable.

It has got to trouble you that the Redskins were fighting with the Browns for RGIII, the odds of him being a flop go up exponentially based on that alone.
There is no one in the league who is as good at picking flops as the browns... Im eagerly awaiting their 2 first round picks this year just so that we can see the Browns fans reaction all through the offseason, only to see reality crush their spirits by game 2-3 of the regular season.....

Yeah, Redskins and Browns are not exactly like having Belichick and Andy Reid fighting over you.
The Redskins already made one extremely dumb deal to try to fix the QB spot, trading a couple of high picks to the Eagles for McNabb, who they then decided they didn't like.
For a guy who is supposed to be a smart businessman, Redskins owner Dan Snyder is a terrible dealmaker. Apparently St. L told the Redskins and Browns to "make their best offer" right before the trade was announced. Obviously, it made a lot more sense for the Redskisn and Browns to wait until free agency had become sorted out. Instead, they got panicked into negotiating against themsleves with an artificial deadline, two rookie mistakes.

Wow, I just heard the Browns gave the Vikes a third round pick to move up one whole place to number three. The word is they intend to take Trent Richardson. Really silly move in my opinion. He is a good RB, but you can get good RBs in the middle rounds. For that matter, you can get good RBs as undrafted free agents. It's just not as important a position as it used to be, plus there are loads of guys who are capable.
Basically they wasted the third rounder and are going to overpay in the first round.
