Vague, but I see your point now.

- I still think Cleveland will pick 3 times tonight.
- Bruce Irvin to TEN is an interesting "deduced leak" from yesterday, but still might be smoke.
- NE chasing CJones? I would think Barron more than anyone else up there.
- PIT will nab Hightower, I think
- I expect Wright, Mercilus and Reiff to tumble a bit

Mercilus is an interesting prospect that you don't hear too much about.

Here is a guy who is 6'4" 264lbs and had the fastest 10-yard split out of any DL'man IIRC (1.54 or 1.56) and even though he's never played stand up OLB he did all of the OLB drills at the combine and did them fairly well. He is a 1 year wonder, I will say that, but so was JPP and for the most part so was Aldon Smith. Yet, you don't hear much about him at all.

If Michael Floyd slips past NYJ, does anyone want to move up?

Nearly midnight and I'm having to stream the draft off nfl.com as ESPN have changed their minds on showing it live on tv, but on the plus side they are showing the Orioles game so I can have that on the back ground!

well its not live here on the east coast til 8 p.m. so I hope espn does not change thier mind here. would'nt it be live at 1 a.m. over there in the UK? (if thats where your located)

**arnie_uk** · 04-26-2012, 07:03 PM

**Lime in the Coconut** · 04-26-2012, 07:07 PM

All I know is that we better not select Peter Konz. I don't think we will, greater talent will be there. I really like Mercilus as a pass rusher. Someone good is getting pushed down to Baltimore tonight.

Yeah that's what I meant- I will be streaming, although think the stream starts at 12.30, but I may be mistaken.

I think you'll be safe with ESPN in the States, I think it's some rights issue although weird as rest of Europe has it live on tv. Bizarre that they couldn't sort it out seeing the effort they are putting into the game with the International Series etc
