2011 NFL Draft

I still think we should take a chance on Gabbert, Persa, or someone like them in 2012. Guys that might not be marquee guys, but solid performers.

gabbert will be a bust in my opinion, gut feeling. he doesnt impress me as much as the guys at espn hype him up to be. also, people seem to think gabbert would be a first round pick, at least i feel like ive seen that somewhere. and persa is a very good college qb but his style probably doesnt transfer to the pros well. less than ideal size at 6-1 205 and his main strength is running the football.

Probably right, but my reasoning is that we won't have a high enough pick to garner the cream of the crop with QB, and we need to get some very good linemen, especially guards. IF we were to go QB in the next two drafts these guys would be the ones most likely available to us. You have to think if we do improve next year record wise we will be probably picking around 12-15. If Mallet stays for his senior year and comes out for 2012 he will be out of reach. A guy like Persa would be an upper mid rounder.

His passing stats are pretty solid though. He was on pace to shatter the Big Ten passing percentage record til he tore his Achilles. If he played through, Northwestern would have garnered a better record, bowl game, and maybe a bowl win. Many had him picked for the Big Ten MVP. Plus the guy is smart as hell. If I am not mistaken, he already is in grad school. If Philly thought enough about Kafka to draft him, why couldn't we take a shot at Persa. Persa is a way better passer than Kafka was, and he loves the weight room. He won "The Big Cat" award for his work in the weight room. I know it is a gamble, but shoot any draft pick is a gamble.

If the Redskins, Dallas and SF end up with 6-10 records who gets the best pick? Who's second? Anyone know?

2011 NFL Draft Order: Bears Spot To Be Determined - The Deep Dish - SB Nation Chicago


The Carolina Panthers will have the first overall selection, as they finished with the league's worst record, 2-14. Three teams follow at 4-12 -- the Denver Broncos, the Cincinnati Bengals, and the Buffalo Bills. When this happens, they are slotted in draft order with the team having the lowest opponent's winning percentage on top. As of now, then, the Broncos will pick second overall, followed by the Bengals with the third pick and the Bills fourth.

That's followed by the two 5-11 teams, the Arizona Cardinals and the Cleveland Browns, who get the fifth and sixth picks respectively. Then it gets a little dicey, because seven teams are tied at 6-10. After the jump, here's where all these 6-10 teams will pick (subject to change based on tiebreakers and the result of tonight's game):

Star-divide

No. 7: San Francisco 49ers
No. 8: Tennessee Titans
No. 9: Washington Redskins
No. 10: Dallas Cowboys
No. 11: Houston Texans
No. 12: Minnesota Vikings
No. 13: Detroit Lions

Looks pretty simple, right? But wait, there's more! If the Seattle Seahawks lose to the St. Louis Rams tonight, they will also fall to 6-10, and would likely slot in at the eighth pick, with that pushing everyone else down a slot. If the Rams lose, they'll only be 7-9, and the above order will remain unchanged. That ought to get you started on putting your draft books together.

So we can get the 9th or 10th best player on the board. Also we'll pick in the top 10 of the second round. Good.
