With The 12th Pick In the NFL Draft The Minnesota Viking Select.....

DP Pick:
J.J. Watt, DE, Wisconsin

The Vikings should be stoked to get a pass rushing DE at 12 with the talent of Watt. With Rey Edwards being a free agent and will be a huge upgrade for what they got. Watt has great rushing skills with great instincts. He also is very good against the run too. This is a really safe pick for the Vikings.

BMack Pick:
Aldon Smith, DE, Missouri

I already have J.J. Watt off my board, but DP is right there is no QB worth taking here, and DE would be the next area of need. Aldon Smith is very raw, but is very fast and pretty tall (6-4). He is going to need to get bigger if he wants to improve as a run stopper, but he can get pressure on the QB right away, and a team that already has Jared Allen it's a scary thought. I am really interested in what the Vikings end up doing for a QB, I guess they can hope Locker falls to the 2nd round, but I don't see him falling that far. I guess they will be in the hunt for Kolb (along with the Cardinals).

With The 3rd Pick In the 2011 NFL Draft the Buffalo Bills Select.....

DP's Pick:
Blaine Gabbert QB Mizzou

This pick makes the most sense to me for a couple reasons, Ryan Fitzpatrick did a much better job then anyone anticipated however, he's not a long term solution. Any QB selected in this draft is going to need some seasoning and this way Gabbert can sit out a year or 2 before being thrown into the fire. The options here would be between Cam Newton and Gabbert and I just feel like Gabbert is the safer choice here. Even though I personally don't like any qb in this draft other than Ryan Mallett.

BMack's Pick:
Cam Newton, QB, Auburn

I was torn on this pick, because I could see them grabbing Failey here as well. With Gabbert off my board I think the Bills go with Newton. Do I like the pick? No, but for a franchise that is about as exciting as a Bill Belichick press conference this move could build some excitement for the formerly proud franchise. The best part for the Bills is exactly what DP was talking about. Ryan Fitzpatrick can buy them a year or two to groom Newton, which could be huge especially with this lockout going on. Newton has all the physical tools, and throws a much better ball then Tebow. My questions with him will be his decision making, and character. I know the whole whether or not he took money in college thing doesn't really matter in the pros, but this is more about how he handles himself. The good news with this pick is that he is in Buffalo, and I would figure it's hard to get in trouble there. A back field with him and CJ Spiller could be one of the fastest in the NFL, and it would be nice to see Buffalo at least have a little bit of hype around them.

With The 1st Pick In the 2011 NFL Draft the Carolina Panthers Select.....

DP's Pick:

MARCELL DAREUS DT Alabama

This might be a bit of a homer pick because I love the Tide, but I recently have fallen in love with this kid. He's a big mama jama at 319 and has been really successful in a 3-4 and 4-3 schemes at DT. With his quickness he could also be shifted to DE with a 3-4 scheme. The new trend is the Panthers taking Blaine Gabbert here and I just think that would be dumb because they have to give Jimmy Clausen at least another year (even though I'm not a fan). If worse comes to worse he'll tank it and they pick up Andrew Luck or Matt Barkley.


BMack's Pick:

Blaine Gabbert, QB, Missouri

Let me start by saying that I hate this pick. I agree with DP that Clausen should at least get another year before they just give up on him (and I also agree that I am no longer a believer). Yet, with a new coach the Panthers are going to look for a new "face of the franchise". Sure, this guy isn't a big name, but he will be by the time the draft comes around. ESPN always hypes all these guys, so by then he'll be the "next big thing".

Gabbert has the build of an NFL QB at 6'4" 234 lbs. He is a very accurate QB, although some of his stats don't show it. Scouts point out he didn't have a lot to work with at Missouri. He's got a great arm, and can move around the packet enough to avoid sacks. I'll say I don't like this pick, and if we were just making a list of the best guys in the draft I would probably have him at 5 or 6, but like I said before the Panthers are looking to completely rebuild and a new coach with want "his guy" under center, and that guy will be Blaine Gabbert.

College Football Picks

(10)Georgia vs (22) Vanderbilt

Georgia is a better team and I hate Vandy. Moreno and Stafford are due for a big game and Georgia needs to win this game if they ever want to be talked in National Title talks again. Their defense is good enough to stop the Vandy rushing attack. Watch for AJ Green to have a huge game.

Georgia 35-10
(1) Texas vs (11) Missouri

After a huge loss against Oklahoma State, Mizzou is going to pissed and the Video game offense is going to knock out the number 1 team in the country again. Colt McCoy is going to be able to throw all over Mizzou's secondary, however this is going to be a game of points.

Mizzou 42-35
(20) Michigan State vs (12) Ohio State

This game should be focused on two players Michigan States Javon Ringer and Ohio States Terrell Pryor. Unfortunately for Ohio State, I am really high on Michigan State and Ringer so they are going to win a tough fought battle.

Mich State 21-14
(4) Oklahoma vs (16) Kansas

Sam Bradford and Oklahoma are going to come into this game pissed and believe it carries into the game. Even though Oklahoma's secondary is sometimes suspect, I believe the will keep Kansas' Todd Reesing in check.

Oklahoma 35-10

28 Oklahoma State, 23 Missouri

Chase Daniels threw for 390 yards but had 3 picks in yet another upset in college football. Missouri was one of those teams who I thought were good but haven't taken them that seriously. Former K-State qb Zac Robinson was able to manage the game well as he threw for 215 yards and 2 TDs, while Kendall Hunter kept Missouri's defense on edge running for 154 yards.

Not only did Daniels crush his Heisman hopes, he made his team a "pretender"
