Now that the draft is finished, what was your favorite pick from your team? I personally loved the Browns pick in the 6th round, taking James Davis, RB from Clemson. This guy was probably a 1st-2nd round talent last season if he came out early, but he had injuries this past season and Clemson struggled in general so he slipped this late. I'd say adding him gives the Browns a nice triple threat of RBs in Jamal Lewis - Jerome Harrison - James Davis, Lewis being the pound it out guy, Jerome Harrison giving a nice change of pace, very fast guy, elusive and then James Davis, somewhat like Harrison. A Browns fan from somewhere I post at called it Smash, Dash and Blast. I have high hopes for Davis. Also this RB triple threat will be behind now a very good line with Joe Thomas, Eric Steinbach and Alex Mack, 2 guys already being perennial pro bowlers in Thomas and Steinbach, then if Alex Mack pans out like he should, thats an offensive line with 3 pro bowlers.

Minnesota Vikings: OT Phillip Loadholt from Oklahoma in 2nd Round

Guy is huge, anchored the left side of the line at a big school and for a long time. Many thought he was the best pick of the 2nd round & nearly all experts concur that this guy can step in and start at RT right away.

I love the pick of Pettigrew for the Lions. The guy is an all around TE which you truly don't see much of anymore. The guy is a great blocker, and a very reliable target, which the Lions lack. Now if Calvin can't get open, they have a great dump off guy.

B.J. Raji for the Packers, I think he is perfect for them and will play great this year.

TBH, I don't know much about our picks but Chung is supposed to be a hard-hitting, Rondey Harrison-type, saftey..that can't hurt.

I hope he can actually play safety tho

You better hope you don't play Washington in the playoffs, or Orakpo is going to have to own his ass again.

Same, he looks great on some of his highlights. I also like the pick of Derrick Williams from Penn State, we need a special teams guy like him and he was also a pretty good wideout as well.

I also like Pettigrew for the Lions. He isn`t just going to be another target out there for when Calvin cant get open, but he can definately play the role as an extra lineman, putting up the much needed blocks that the Lions have lacked.

Even if Derrick Williams doesn't work out on special teams, they got Aaron Brown from TCU as well. Whenever healthy he was a great RB and returner for the Horn Frogs.

Like I said in another thread. From the 6th round on the Lions did a great job. Brown, Murtha, and Follett could all make an impact.

Yeah, I think Williams can be like a Eddie Royal (not as many catches) type player but who knows.
