Ha. Minny took Jarius Wright before and now they went back to Arkansas to get Greg Childs. Still think Jarius Wright was the best Arkansas WR prospect of the group.

 

[NinerSickness]

And Chapman's still on the board!

Before the draft I had no idea when to expect him to go, but the NFL is sleeping on a really valuable player IMO...

The Steelers are doing a great job getting stronger in the trenches with Ta'amu & Decastro.

 

[ChrisPozz]

Vikings still have 6 picks left. None are compensatory so they could move any one of them yet.

The San Francisco 49ers have made yet another trade. They're sending the No. 103 overall pick in the fourth round to the Carolina Panthers in exchange for their sixth-round pick (No. 180 overall) and a 2013 third-round pick, which is fantastic value. Carolina went on to select wide receiver Joe Adams.

This is all coming from the No. 92 pick, which the 49ers sent to the Colts in exchange for their fourth-round pick at No. 97 and a fifth-round pick in 2013. Then, they traded No. 97 to the Miami Dolphins, who drafted running back Lamar Miller, and got their sixth-round pick this year at No. 196 overall and a sixth-round pick next year. So they've got third, fith and sixth-rounders in 2013 and two extra sixth round picks this year for their No. 92 pick in the third round.

quite a haul for a late 3rd.

the Carolina deal is clearly the big one.

Time for round number five

So the 4th round took a little under 2 hours.

Josh Chapman to Indy at the top of the 5th. Top player remaining for me. Big time booo!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Love the fit with Pagano.

 

[ChrisPozz]

The jerseys that the players are holding up this year for photos at their press conferences look SO much bigger in size than in previous years. Anyone else think so?

[ChrisPozz]

Malik Jackson to Denver.

 

[NinerSickness]

Holy crap the Colts are having a legendary draft.

ESPN insider take on Looney

What he brings: Looney possesses massive size and a strong anchor, providing him with excellent point-of-attack skills. He also shows good feet and balance in pass pro.

 

[ChrisPozz]

Tahir Whitehead to the Lions. Back-to-back LB choices for them unless they covert him to S. One of the worst names in the draft too.

 

[ChrisPozz]

Robert Blanton to Minny. Well, Mayock covered him doing his games at ND and now he'll get to cover their games in the preseason because he does their preseason games.

 

[bigninerfan56]

Nooooooooo....the Vikings took my favorite late round pick. Robert Blanton should be a solid pro.

Minny loving ND's secondary

 

[FourBeeDen]

damn.. looks like I miss a lot of action..

 

[ChrisPozz]

Minny loving ND's secondary

The Minnesota Fighting Irish Viking Razorbacks.

 

[ChrisPozz]

With all their picks the Vikings traded a 5th and 7th (138 and 223) for a future Lions 4th.
