Have you wanted a player from your favorite school be drafted lower just so that they would end up on your favorite team (or at the very least, typically on a better team? ... Sorry Manziel)

I wanted Manziel to go to dallas so bad it wasnt even funny. But Jerry Jones decided for the first time in his career he was going to go with a smart pick instead of the most intriguing pick.... Couldnt he have just waited one more year to be logical...

I was epic melting last night.

More about not wanting them on a divisional opponent. Wish Cam wasn't in Carolina.

Would rather they play for a better team. More exposure and better opportunity for success. I'm thrilled that Lacy and HaHa are in Green Bay. I always liked the packers.

Love Mosley being added to that Ravens defense too. They have a young nucleus there on defense that could be a force down the road.

I remember in the 1993 draft, when the bookends went so high in the draft and was thrilled - before I saw who they got drafted by.

The Bengals and the Buccaneers.

They should have went defensive if they wanted to make the smart pick

Look at Lacy who "fell" to Green Bay, to Trent Richardson who went fairly historically high for a RB to cleveland.

You can't tell me that Lacy is a better back than TR--at least not coming out of college.

Being on a high pick/crap team can destroy a mofo.

Best place for them.

Was happy for Mallett to NE, Jones to Dallas, Davis to KC as those were good spots for them at the time instead of going higher to say Oakland, Jacksonville, or Cleveland, which is why I felt bad for Matt Jones, DMAC, and Wilson.
