Hello All,

I am a Vikings fan... I'm not coming here to berate or demean any Ram's, team, players or fans.

I am simply here to try an experiment...

I have worked my way through the first 13 teams on SB*Nation, now I am to pick #14 the St. Louis Rams. I am curious to see from a fan's point of view, how accurate we can be at predicting what our teams might do in the draft.

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

So, in order, I started with the Panthers fans. Their decision was:

With the #1 pick in the 2011 NFL Draft, the Carolina Panthers select Nick Fairley. 33 / 91 Total Votes

I will be giving Ram's fans several days to hash out what you think your team will do / should do with the 14th pick of the draft.

Next, I will move on to the Dolphin's site and let them know what you, as the fans have decided. I will take your pick off the board, then let them hash it out for the #15 pick of the draft... then continue on in 2011 draft order:

1. Carolina (2-14)          Nick Fairley
   
2. Denver (4-12)            Da'Quan Bowers
   
3. Buffalo (4-12)            Patrick Peterson
   
4. Cincinnati (4-12)        A.J. Green
5. Arizona (5-11)           Von Miller
   
6. Cleveland (5-11)        Robert Quinn
   
7. San Francisco (6-10) Prince Amukamara
   
8. Tennessee (6-10)      Marcell Dareus
9. Dallas (6-10)             Tyron Smith
10. Washington (6-10)     Cam Newton
    
11. Houston (6-10)          Julio Jones
    
12. Minnesota (6-10)       Blaine Gabbert
    
13. Detroit (6-10)            Jimmy Smith
    
14. St. Louis (7-9)          ???????????????
    
15. Miami (7-9)
    
16. Jacksonville (8-8)
    
17. N. England (14-2) from Oak.
    
18. San Diego (9-7)
    
19. NY Giants (10-6)
    
20. Tampa Bay (10-6)
    
21. Kansas City (10-6)
    
22. Indianapolis (10-6)
23. Philadelphia (10-6)
    
24. New Orleans (11-5)
    
25. Seattle (7-9)
    
26. Baltimore (12-4)
    
27. Atlanta (13-3)
    
28. New England (14-2)
    
29. Chicago (11-5)
    
30. NY Jets (11-5)
31. Pittsburgh (12-4)
    
32. Green Bay (10-6)

So, I have cruised a few posts here at Turf Show Times, and come up with some prospects that fans have been talking about (and a few prospects I added myself):

N. Solder - OT

A. Costanzo - OT

M. Pouncey - C/G

M. Cannon - G

T. Young - WR

T. Smith - WR

J. Baldwin - WR

B. Harris - CB

A. Williams - CB

R. Moore - S

R. Sands - S

A. Ayers - OLB

Al. Smith - OLB

C. Jordan - DE/DT

R. Kerrigan - DE

A. Clayborne - DE

J.J. Watt - DE

St. Paea - DT

M. Wilkerson - DT

C. Liuget - DT

and leaving a choice for "*Other". (SPECIFY WHO, THOSE WHO AGREE REPLY WITH +1)

I have removed the **Trade Down option, but it is still possible to trade down. You can select *Other, and note below that you would like to trade down, but unless you have made an offer to another team, your remark will be IGNORED, and your vote will be WASTED. If there is an offer on the table, it will be noted. If you have made an offer to another team, you will need to post the link in the comments below.

 

If *Other wins in the final tally, and there is not a WRITTEN IN winner, the vote will default to the 2nd most amount of votes.

------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

*FOR OTHER - PLEASE SPECIFY IN A POST THE PERSON YOU WOULD SELECT INSTEAD (AND FOR THOSE WHO AGREE, POST +1, SO I CAN ADD THE TOTALS AT THE END)

** If you would like to Trade Down:

(The process for trading down... I will give you the Trade Down (only) option IF...a representative from the "Turf Show Times" site can get a SOLID agreement with a team (SBNation Blog) to trade the pick to. You would need to Poll a site, give them the offer, and win over their picks. I WILL NOT accept this offer if the margin of the poll is less than 15 votes. This process would need to be complete prior to the end of this Fanview poll closing.)

The whole process of trading down would be really difficult to move around, so if this is what the fans choose, the fans will need somebody to step in to make the pick. (I would need you guys to step up, and work this out on your own. I would post the results.)

Thank you for participating, and good luck!
