Crimson Red Sports

Trent Richardson #3 pick to the Cleveland Browns.

Guess NFL scouts know a bit more about talent than Heisman voters.  Show him the money!   #+

Edit note: updated the thread for other draft picks (with apologies).

And Mark Barron No. 7 in the draft to Tampa Bay.

http://www.al.com/sports/index.ssf/2012/04/former_tide_star_mark_barron_g.html

Time for Dre, Upshaw, Hightower, and the rest of the Crimson Tide...

I hope he doesn't bump into cote and hurt him   :dunno:

He and Cody probably have bumped into each other many times in practice.

Great job!

Fletcher Cox (MSU) to Philadelphia.  :dunno:

Thanks, CP.  Now let's get Dre drafted before he explodes on stage.

#13 Michael Floyd (ND) WR to the Cardinals.

this cote , bet that would piss off ole jimmy brown  :clap:

Kuechly was a dumba-- pick at LB.

Ah, this guy.  He's probably still keeping an eye out for Darius.   ;)

#14: Rams select Michael Brockers (LSU).

Really?

#15:  Seattle selects Bruce Irvin (WV).

Know him, WV?

#16:  Jets fans are cheering.  Who will the Jets pick?

Quinton Coples, DE (UNC).   :dunno: :dunno:

didn't he get arrested for destruction of property up there ?
did he burn a couch or what ?   :dunno:

#17: Bengals select DRE !!!!!!!!!!!

:jump:

Dre Kirkpatrick No. 17 overall to Cincinnati Bengals.

Dre to the bungles   :(

:lol: :lol: :lol:

"The Saban Factor". Okay recruits, who's paying attention.

sorry this draft results is making me ill  :clap:

maybe the bungles will pick up DH or CU to be with Dre
that will make me feel a little better

glad to see Coach Saban getting all the props ....
otherwise the announcers can sthu    :clap:

#18:  San Diego takes Melvin Ingram (USCe), terror of the D (great player).

... and Coach Saban is right there recruiting for 2013.  "Go get 'em, Coach."

And the recruits and their parents are likely seeing Bama's dominance in the top tier of the NFL Draft...

is it just me or did Chuckie comb his hair wit a wet greasy dishrag ?  :dunno:

#19:  DE from Boise goes to ... da Bears.

The Bears use their first pick for a Boise State player.  At least he will be used to the cold.  BSU's second first rounder?  Shea McLellin.

#20 will be Tennessee Titans.

#21: Reportedly, New England traded to 21 to get Chandler Jones.

#20: Tenn picks Kendall Wright (Baylor) WR....  :crazy:

#22:  Browns pick Weeden (OSU) QB.  Wimp!

UPSHAW

HIGHTOWER

waiting...   :tinfoil: :tinfoil: :tinfoil: :tinfoil: :tinfoil: :tinfoil:

that tells me the browns are certain that BAMFTR will rip cotes arm out
of the socket taking a hand off    :dunno:

#23: Detroit picks Riley Reiff (Iowa) fat lineman.   :-X

:lol: :lol: :lol:

... and it means Cote will be back on the farm soon.

Bad picks I've seen so far, IMO:

Panthers - Kuechly
Bills - Gilmore (not that bad, but went too early)
Jets - Coples (Melvin Ingram is better)
Rams - Brockers (They need more skill positions filled)
Bears - McClellin (What a joke)
Browns - Weeden (Don't they already have about 5 QB's.

#24:  Pittsburgh picks an OG from Stanford.  rah rah

Donte Hightower picked No. 25 by the Patriots.    #+

http://www.al.com/sports/index.ssf/2012/04/former_tide_star_donta_hightow.html

#25: New England picks HIGHTOWER. :jump:  :jump:

When you have 5QBs, you don't have a QB.

Jim Brown doing this:  :wall:

#26:  Houston picks a DE from Illinois.    :eyeroll:

We will have 1 of every 6 pick in the top 30.
Recruits: join us or fear us.

and cote doing this ----->   :o

When your coach eats grass, you start thinking.
When you start thinking, the QB doesn't throw passes your way in the BCS.
When the QB doesn't throw your way, you slip in the draft.

Don't be Rueben Randall.

Somebody is going to get a steal with Upshaw!

And they still don't.

:lol:

 :lol:  #+

#27:  Bengals pick Zeitler, Badger OG.   :-\

Green Bay needs an Upshaw.

Giants too.

GB wasted their chance.  May they burn in .... Auburn.

Nick Perry USCw LB to GB. The packers missed out. CU is better.

Harrison who?  ???

roflol :)
 #+

49ers take a WR?

Hello, Terrie.  Thanks mucho.
Maybe CU will be a GIANT with Eli.

Wow! They wasted a pick on that kid.  :wall:

Perry is a DE.  Upshaw played OLB at Bama but is projected as a possible DE in the NFL. There is some question as to CU's lateral agility to drop into pass coverage as an OLB, so he is projected either as a DE in a 4-3 or pass rushing jack LB in a 3-4.

Anyway, different teams have different needs.  We will hear Upshaw's name soon I hope.

Another Boise loser?

Pick No. 31, TB picks another Boise State player in the first round, RB Doug Martin.   :-\

Giants pick is next.  Hope you are right. 

Chuckie talking up an OL for Giants pick.  :-\

 :( :( :(

NY Giants with Pick No. 32 pick VA Tech RB  David Wilson. 

Trent Richardson did give the RBs a bump in the draft this year, like he predicted.

That's it for tonight.  Picks resume tomorrow.

David Wilson??????  :o Terrible pick!

a real head scratcher.   ???  Picked over Upshaw, R Randle, and 4 others who were invited and were waiting in the green room.  Has to suck to be those guys and not hear their name called, especially for Upshaw watching his teammates go tonight.   :(

I am very proud of Trent, Mark, Dre, and Dant'a. But IMO, the better Bama linebacker and maybe Bama's MVP for the year is still out there. He carried a couple of games on his shoulders because of his immense talent, tenacity and instinct. The Florida and NC games come to mind. He broke people, for crying out loud. I can't believe he hasn't been picked up yet. BAMADCHAMPIONSHIPS is right, someone is going to get a steal.

or not......

No 1st end love for upshaw. Someone is going to get ups haw with a chip on his shoulder. That's a frightening prospect.

You are right.  The great players have their best games on the biggest stage, and Upshaw shined in those games. 

I think Upshaw may have been left out because teams weren't sure what to do with him.  He is a "tweener," as in, his size and speed puts him between a pure defensive end and a LB dropping into coverage.  Drafting him as a defensive end would be hard for a team to do early because Upshaw played LB at Bama.  But Hightower is right, Upshaw will make his name known once he puts pads on.

I think a team would do well to keep him at OLB. He proved at Bama that he could drop back into pass coverage. In fact, he always had a nose for the ball. Critics said what you pointed out, plus they were concerned about him having short arms. What?  ??? Anyway, time will tell. I just know he has to be disappointed not to have been taken in the first round.

Loved this Tweet from Dont'a:

Yeppers, they even ask you why? You heat water to make it hot, put ice in it to cool it, sugar in it to sweeten it and lemon in it to sour it. lol, RTR!

2 more weak picks and still no love for CU.  :deadhorse:

Good call, CB!!! CU to the Ravens.  #+

The steal of the Second Round! Great call Ravens. Roll Tide!

There are now so many Bama players in the NFL, that I'm actually considering getting the "NFL Sunday Ticket". The NFL is almost relevant now.  :D

I hear you.

Almost relevant...

Better run it past MeeMaw first. Promise to watch all of Cam's games. HTH

You misunderstand, I'm only watching games with near relevancy. HTH.

Alshon Jeffrey goes to da bears.  Wasn't he supposed to be pumping gas or something?

Jeffrey was not the player last year that he was in 2010. Da Bears may have a problem on their hands. I think AJ peaked at the 2010 Alabama game.

True, but still a far cry from pumping gas.  Now if he blows all his money like some of these guys do he might be pumping gas in 10 years.

What's with all the love for these Illinois players. Didn't they suck again last year?

Illinois and Indiana were about equal, equally bad.  ;)

I have a question which is probably a stupid one for you guys but i don't know the answer to it! (and who better to ask?)

Anyway - Cleveland drafted TR. What happens if they offer him a low amount of money and he doesn't want it? Does he have to be traded? or can he just walk?

I've never really watched the draft closely. :)

TIA

I've wondered the same thing.

I see a trend here. If the university starts with the letter "I". they must be "I"nept.
