I foresee many defenders making the "money" gesture after laying JFF out, lulz will ensue.

I saw that arrogant prick doing that gesture while getting his photos taken in the back room as well. God I can't wait for him to get snapped in half.

Funny to see the fans of all NFL teams on the internet breathe a huge sigh of relief they passed on JFF except for the Dallas fans who are in meltdown mode.

Quite a few Vikings mouth breathers in the same boat. I'm not one of them though.

Check back at the end of the draft and see which teams have the most players taken overall. College football is all about depth. A lot of decent teams can have the stars align and have several guys go in the first round. If there's no one going in the draft after that, then your overall team probably isn't elite.

Pretty much. A&M has had a player drafted in the top 10 the last 4 years, and not much after that.

Would you consider being snapped in half worse than being drafted by Cleveland? I'd have to weigh the pros and cons of both, tbh.

I say this as a Missouri fan, because Mizzou had more first round draft picks than anyone else over a 3 year span from like 09-11, with Jeremy Maclin, Aldon Smith, Blaine Gabbert, and a few others. I think we had something like 6 first rounders in 3 years, and that was tied with Alabama for most over that span. Then if you looked at the entire drafts Mizzou had like 8 or 9 guys total drafted, while Alabama had like 20+. That's where the difference in the programs lie.

This past year, Mizzou had one of their best seasons ever, and we didn't have anyone go in the first round but we may set our record for most number of players drafted overall, we could have 6 or 7 go overall.

These are the numbers from opening day of 2013. We'll see what 2014 brings.

1. USC ? 40 players
2. LSU ? 39
3. Miami ? 38
4. Georgia ? 36
5. Florida State ? 31
5. Texas ? 31
7. Alabama ? 30
7. Cal ? 30
7. Tennessee ? 30
10. Ohio State ? 27
10. Oregon ? 27
12. Florida ? 26

So we can finally close the ledger on the RG3 trade, here is what St. Louis ended up with:

The offensive line definitely improved a lot towards the end of last year, but I wouldn't say he had all day to throw. He can mask poor offensive line play by his ability to evade defenders.

His injury last year was something that was most likely cumulative over a long period of time and not something that happened on a single play in a game or practice. If you herniate a disc in your lower back from a single hit you're not going to just get up and play through it. So I can see why drafting an offensive linemen isn't the worst decision in the world, it does make Romo less likely to be injured and should improve their abysmal run game.

I'm guessing Jerry thinks his new D coordinator will fix everything because it worked out so great last time

I think Jerry is hoping for less injuries to fix the defense. Having to play 16 different defensive linemen compared to like 8 of most of teams is not going to make you the best defense.

Burnem Wizfyre · May 9, 2014

Still a lot of defensive talent available today, I can name about 6 people on the DL that I would be more than happy to get.

Caliel · May 9, 2014

Yeah most people are expecting them to draft defense today. It wouldn't be too surprising if one of the picks was a receiver though. I'm just hoping they don't draft another 2nd round te...

My favorite is Rokevious Watkins. Very interesting infograph though.

LOL Taylor has his own Squire

Jx3 · May 9, 2014

Couple Cowboy fans on my facebook are having fucking seizures over the lack of Johnny Football on their roster. The fact he went to Cleveland aka "The Land Where Careers Go To Die" makes me giggle even more.

The more I read about Darqueze Dennard, the more excited I am about the pick. That's what? Five first rounders the Bengals have in their secondary now?

Tenks · May 9, 2014

I know I'm biased but I think the Bengals got the steal of the draft so far

And yet you guys still can't win a playoff game

Stevie Johnson to Niners for conditional 4th rounder in 2015.

Genjiro · May 9, 2014

Wow a 4th? Steal for SF.

Could turn into a third, but yes quite the haul for the Niners.

Bills trying to win worst run franchise award? What the fuck are they thinking? That's two absolutely terrible trades in a row.
