WTFP Transcriptions:

• Cris Collinsworth: “I wouldn’t take any of the Quarterbacks in the top 10”
• Cris Collinsworth: “If you have a lot of “Rich Bums” in your locker room, you’ve got major issues as a team.”
• Boomer Esiason: “Carson Palmer has checked out of the Cincinnati hotel…I feel for him.”
• Cris Collinsworth: “Von Miller is the most talented guy in this draft.”
• Cris Colinsworth: “Nick Fairley is one of those edgy Warren Sapp kind of guys you’d love to have on your team.”
• Howie Long: “If I had to pick between Dareus and Faireley, I’m going Dareus.”
• Boomer Esiason: “I think there is a possibility that 6 QB’s can go in round 1…Teams are looking for that next Brady”
• Howie Long: “I think teams are going to reach for Quarterbacks and Tackles in the first round.”
• Howie Long: “I think New England will be a good fit for Mark Ingram.”
• Cris Collinsworth: “I haven’t talked to anyone who likes Julio Jones better than AJ Green. Green is phenomenal.”
• Cris Collinsworth: “Julio Jones and AJ Green are at a dead heat for me.”

NFL Mocks Transcriptions:

• Cris Collinsworth: “If I had to take a QB in the top 10, I would take Gabbert. Wouldn’t take any if I didn’t have to.”
• Boomer Esiason: :Gabbert would be good fit for the Bengals, but will have to be a better player than advertised b/c of lack of support.”
• Howie Long: “The rookie cap will cut numbers like Sam Bradford’s pretty short.”
• Howie Long: “There aren’t any Sam Bradford’s out there right now. There may be one in middle school right now.”
• Cris Collinsworth: “Wouldn’t surprise me if 75% of first round goes to defense.”
• Cris Collinsworth: “I personally think Von Miller is the most talented player in this draft…Marcell Dareus probably the highest pick.”
• Cris Collinsworth: “If you like quarterbacks, the draft is going to be boring for you to watch.”
• Howie Long: “There are no Ndamukong Suh’s in this draft, but if I had to pick one of these guys to trust, I’m calling M. Dareus.”
• Cris Collinsworth: “You’re essentially going to get some half-price quarterbacks in the first round.”
• Boomer Esiason: “No disrespect to Mark Ingram, but the RB position has been De-emphasized.”
• Cris Collinsworth: “AJ Green is phenomenal. Everything you could possibly want.”
