I like who my Steelers got today! They just need to draft three o-linemen tomorrow to give Ben even more help and maybe a couple cornerbacks.

very happy with the pick of mcfadden .... but woulda liked to see them try to acquire a pick in the 2nd or 3rd rounds to be able to get a lineman or two to help protect former #1 russell and to lead the way for mcfadden ....

I hope the Vikes don't regret not picking up a QB or OT.

There really weren't any OT's around in the mid 2nd round that would have been worth the pick.

QB is another story, although the Vikings seem to be pretty stuck on T-Jack.

Jordy Nelson has better hands than hardy and sweed, and has way better moves that blythe in the open field. He will remind a lot of people of Wes Welker in the NFL, but with better size. Good pick.

Thing is, they didn't have to trade up for Mendenhall, they actually could have traded down. I don't know though, didn't he only have one good year and it isn't always good drafting a local guy...see Eddie Curry

. On the other hand, he may become a huge stud.

i dont think it can really be called a good pick considering the packers are very deep at wide receiver. yes, nelson may be a good player but i dont see why the pack didnt take flowers at corner from va tech and pick up nelson later.
