The Official 2012 NFL Draft Thread

[FairOaks]

Eagles take....

Brandon Boykin, CB, Georgia


Yeeeesssssss.....

Slot corner, fast, KO returner

Did break his leg in the Senior Bowl apparently so couldn't work out for teams after that, maybe why he fell

[j-bird]

Yes indeed! Boykin! Great pick. He will be the PR next year & compete at the nickle spot. Except for Foles, Great draft!

[andrewaters]

I will say outside of antonio allen and zebie sanders this was the guy i wanted right now

I agree.. I'm not huge on Curry either, but we shall see.

[FairOaks]

Apparently McShay on ESPN saying there were concussion concerns with Boykins. Hm. Could be an issue for returns, I guess.

[FairOaks]

Bills take Ron Brooks, CB, LSU
Lions take Ronnell Lewis, LB, Oklahoma
Texans take Jared Crick, DE, Nebraska
Giants take Adrien Robinson, TE, Cincinatti

Mayock says Robinson is a huge and fast player... but as raw as raw gets.

That's the end of the 4th round proper, 4th round supplemental picks coming up.

Agreed. And maybe one of those two will still be there when we pick next

This has been a very good draft. If Foles pans out, it could be phenomenal


And remember, we wouldn't have Boykins if we didn't do that trade down that ended up netting us Curry and Boykin so Green Ba could get Worthy. A DT we already filled

[FairOaks]

So the Kolb trade turns into DRC, Vinny Curry, and Brandon Boykin.

[dawkins20]

Chris Polk is still out there too
As is George Iloka
And James Brown

Still some good corners if they want another
A few good receivers too. Including one that played with Foles

[FairOaks]

4th round compensatory picks:


Vikings take Rhett Ellison, FB, USC
Raiders take Miles Burris, LB, San Diego State
Ravens take Christian Thompson, S, South Carolina State
Giants take Brandon Mosley, OT, Auburn
Packers take Mike Daniels, DT, Iowa
Packers take Jerron McMillian, S, Maine
Vikings take Greg Childs, WR, Arkansas
Cowboys take Matt Johnson, S, Eastern Washington

A # of Teams have taken Polk off their board because of injury history but the fact is, this Kid started 38 games in a row so IMO if he's there at #153, pull the trigger. Solid kid, short yardage, goal line back. The other kid I like is the SS Lloka from Boise St. 6-4, 225 & can cover. Don't think he's the answer at SS but can compete and play on ST's. Still think we need to bring in SS Bell.
Been a great draft IMO.
