I think Im stocking on Blaine Gabbert this year.
How you feeling about that Von Miller pick? I think he was a great choice.
He’s a beast. The Broncos are going to enjoy his fine work for a long time.
Why are some of them being skipped? Do they not get rookie cards?
They just don’t have Rookie Cards in 2011 Prestige.
So….no….Muhammad Wilkerson NY Jets RC!?!?
Bummed….no Muhammad Wilkerson cards at all!!!
Panini has to be hating the way the first round went. None of the top position players went to “hobby-friendly” markets which is going to translate to less demand for their rookie-heavy products (which is basically all Panini makes). The teams with huge hobby followings went with linemen and CBs for the most part.
Going to be a rough year for FB products…
This is awesome, love the real time draft set, very cool.
I’m hoping we’ll get the variants too — would love to see Von Miller holding up the Broncos jersey! The Tebow variant was my favorite card from all of last season.
Oh, there will be variations — and SPs. Stay tuned for more.
being an aggie fan im very proud of von miller, going to collect him like crazy
just try to run on the Lions now 🙂
Ponder went in the first round ??? hmmmm ….. makes me wonder how “thin” this years draft class is ….. thought he’d be a third rounder 🙁
Hope you’re having a great time in New York Tracy 🙂
Great idea on the cards, but the design makes some of the players look like they have breasts.
LOL!! Now that is funny! I will not be able to look at these cards with out thinking that now.
no logos on the helmets?
thats cause another company has a deal with CLC or something right.
i look forward to seeing my old high school bud jordan todman go tonight!
How you like Von Miller Tracy, I was sad at first but I like this pick, I think him and DJ and do pretty well together. I am excited for today too. 3 picks today
Initially I was hoping they would take Dareus, but Von Miller is a beast.
I hope this isn’t the Final design.
