Matthews has the size, speed and burst through the hole that will translate to the next level.

Dude's definitely a tough kid, but watching Matthews leads me to believe he's got the better upside in the L.

Bet the Giants take Morgan or Pierre-Paul. T.Williams better get his pass blocking skills ready fast.

Giants go linebacker

This draft has really spun my world around... but I still like what the Skinnys did, and hopefully we can play ball a lil more in this draft soon enough. SILVERBACK!

not too crazy since they went from what.. 12 to 28? I'd need more than a late 2nd too

some interesting trades though no doubt

[GusFrerotte]

Can't believe no bites for JC. There are 5 teams that could use a decent starter, or a very solid backup.

[CRedskinsRule]

A note I hope is not true:

Adam_Schefter

Brandon Graham is the best pass rusher in this draft, My prediction: Graham will win Defensive Rookie of the Year. #nfldraft

[Hamoskinz]

I'm putting my trust in Shanny/Allen about TW. However, I think Russell Okung is the better player.

If he shuts down Ware, Cole, Tuck then I'll certainly warm up to the pick.

Hope we get extra picks in the 2nd & 3rd rounds by trading JC, McIntosh (or Big Al if there is a can't miss offer).

he ran a 4.5, matthews had a 4.45 so....

[jdc65]

pass rushers...Ware, Graham, and Pierre-Paul.
Shan better get some quick plays ready.
The NFC East is bringing the Heat.

[LandrySlice]

I'm a lil scared of JPP, but SILVERBACK will put him on his ass! BOOYA!

[CRedskinsRule]

Our OL needs to be seriously prepped this year! New Orleans, this is Bruce Allen, What did you want for Brown?

same

[Ruhskins]

Williams is not the entire line, I would like to see more infusion. Williams was the right step, but we need more I feel.

There's 40 speed times and there's in-game speed with pads on and linebackers breathing down your neck. Matthews is a one-cut runner who is going to do well behind the SD o-line. Gerhart had the best o-line in the Pac-10 and had a tremendous season... but watching the two play extensively, I like Matthews better.
