With the 51st pick in the 2012 NFL Draft, the Buffalo Bills select: OLB Bobby Wagner, Utah State

Wagner is a very instinctive LB that is a tackling machine. Should come in right away with the Bills and start at the OLB position. With this selection the Bills will have a formidable LB corps with Stephen Tulloch, Kelvin Sheppard, and now Bobby Wagner.

Titans select Jared Crick, DE/DT Nebraska

Cincinnati Bengals select Andrew Datko, OT, Fla St.

That's an interesting pick. I was targeting him in the 5th what with his injury troubles.

Oh and the Lions didn't make their last pick, so looks like we should take a consensus on this one too.

Chandler Jones maybe?

Lions select Chandler Jones,DE Syracuse

Thanks Michael... we're a little insecure here in Atlanta at the moment.

I'm not a fan at all.

I just watched a bunch of his tape the other day, and I said forget the penalties and all is that stuff that surrounds him. What kind of football player is he? And I came away unimpressed.

his instincts aren't good. He gets enveloped by big bodies. He runs around end blocks. For a big, strong guy, he's nowhere near as good at the point of attack as I thought he would be.

Tommy Lawlor

Could things have gone worse? I’m not sure he would have hurt himself any more if he had run the 40 with a beer in one hand and firing a gun into the air with the other. Ran a disastrous 5.09. Didn’t bench, which in theory should be something he’s good at as a powerful ILB. Only did some of the athletic tests. Reportedly was terrible in interviews with the teams. Got up at the podium to speak with the media and blamed ASU coaches for his poor 2011 season. The highlight of his trip was the minute he got on the plane to fly home. Not good.

CBS Sports

According to CBS Sports draft analyst Rob Rang, Arizona State ILB Vontaze Burfict's 5.09 forty time was slower than 36 of the 48 defensive linemen who ran at the Scouting Combine. It was slower even than Memphis NT Dontari Poe, who at 346 pounds was the heaviest player in Indianapolis. Burfict (6'1/248) weighs nearly 100 pounds less.

After speaking to NFL scouts and assistant coaches at the Combine, CBS Sports' Bruce Feldman suggests Arizona State ILB Vontaze Burfict is in for a draft-day plunge. "I'm not sure any player here sparked a worse reaction than Vontaze Burfict," writes Feldman. "I wouldn't touch him," one scout said. "... The guy is completely out of control. There's no way you could trust him. I can't believe they (ASU coaching staff) didn't cut him loose." Added one NFL coach, "You just scratch your head at some of the knucklehead things he does on tape. It was the same thing over and over and over again with him."

Sports Illustrated

SI's Don Banks suggests Arizona State ILB Vontaze Burfict will fall to day three of the draft after his Combine implosion. Burfict's workouts (5.09 forty, 8-foot-8 broad jump) were pathetic, and worst of all he blamed college coaches for his poor 2011 performance. Burfict doesn't play well on the field, appears to have a cancerous personality, and isn't nearly as athletic as some believed. We wouldn't be shocked if he went undrafted.

LOL good pick brah

Yea, I know he's got the injury issues, but he's a 1st round pick without them. Figured it's worth the risk, since my team is pretty stacked across the board :)
