NFL Off-Season Thread: "Eli, Eli, lama sabachthani?"

Not open for further replies.
33. New England Patriots - Ryan Williams - RB - Patriots need a true franchise RB to add another dimension to their offense so they can stop relying on Brady to win every damn game.

34. Buffalo Bills - Kyle Rudolph - TE - They can go OT with that kid out of Nova, or Paea, but I'll leave him here for the poor Browns fans who have to watch Dick Jauron for the next few years.

35. Cincinnati Bengals - Andy Dalton - QB - Really tempted to go with Mallett, but with the Bengals off field problems in years past I doubt they touch him. Mallett's probably the best QB in this draft, best coached for sure.

36. Denver Broncos - Stephen Paea - DT

37. Cleveland Browns - Allen Bailey - DE

38. Arizona Cardinals - Justin Houston - LB

39. Tennessee Titans - Christian Ponder - QB

40. Dallas Cowboys - Marcus Cannon - OT

41. Washington Redskins - Ryan Mallett - QB

42. Houston Texans - Brandon Harris - CB

43. Minnesota Vikings - Danny Watkins - OG

44. Detroit Lions - Bruce Carter - LB

45. San Francisco 49ers - Colin Kaepernick - QB - There are very few circumstances where we don't come out of the first 2 rounds without a new QB. We could wait until the 3rd or 4th for Stanzi, but in this scenario I think we go for Colin

46. Denver Broncos - Greg Jones - LB - Denver needs a true inside linebacker, they can move Williams out OLB and Jones can now join a newly drafted young/strong defensive front.

47. St. Louis Rams - Randall Cobb - WR - I'd never heard of this guy until 3 days ago, and I always forget that Kentucky is actually in the SEC. But he seems to be the consensus 3rd best WR, and his name sounds cool. Good football name, like Johnny Utah

48. Oakland Raiders - Stefan Wisneiwski - OT - I guess he can play G if they want anyway.

49. Jacksonville Jaguars - Jon Baldwin - WR

50. San Diego Chargers - Akeem Ayers - LB

51. Tampa Bay Buccaneers - Mason Foster - LB

52. New York Giants - Marvin Austin - DT - We'd be set at DT for years between him and Linval.

53. Indianapolis Colts - Jarvis Jenkins - DT

54. Philadelphia Eagles - Ras-I Dowling - CB - Eagles need a CB opposite Samuel, and Ras is the best one left, plus his name sounds like ra's al ghul which is pretty bad ass.

55. Kansas City Chiefs - Greg Little - WR - Little is a deep play threat with a strong character. He runs a 4.4 40, and has a 41" vert. A prototypical slot receiver, the type of guy Pioli would covet and a perfect compliment to Dwayne Bowe. The Chiefs need help on O, Smith provides it.

56. New Orleans Saints - LaMichael James - RB

57. Seattle Seahawks - Kelvin Sheppard - LB

58. Baltimore Ravens - Titus Young - WR - Finally the Ravens Get faster at Wideout. Young have all the speed to blow tops off overage and route running the ravens need the only knock on him is that he's 5'11. Joe finally gets that WR he can grow with and Nakazato cries :')

59. Atlanta Falcons - Sam Acho - LB/DE - Compared to a Clay Mathews type of player can play either an OLB or a DE. In 50 career games he posted 148 tackles, 23.5 sacks, 37 tackles for loss, 8 forced fumbles and nine recoveries. He is a great pick for Atlanta who needs to start thinking of replacing Abraham in the long term and in the short term, give him a stud on the other side.

60. New England Patriots - Kenrick Ellis - DT

61. San Diego Chargers - Leonard Hankerson - WR


62. Chicago Bears - Allen Bailey - DE

63. Pittsburgh Steelers - Johnny Patrick - CB

64. Green Bay Packers -

So last year I don't think we finished cause i looked a few posts later and the draft was going on and I didn't see anything. So we didn't finish, someone took lamichael james and allen bailey went twice :me :me :me

How does it work exactly, doesn't it go priority? Like if 3 teams wanted of they had picks 22,25,30, that the 22nd pick would get him

nope. a restricted free agent is able to solicit offers from anyone and take the one that he wants. if the team he is on doesn't match it, then he's gone
 
Since eznark asked, Windows 8.

Betta. Windows is so clever.

Where is my desktop??

There you are! No Start button :/

Type the name of what you want to open on Start and it brings up the app search. Really like this.

Xbox Live Companion is shweet. Can launch games on your Xbox from your desktop. Fun to mess around with.

Some neat functionality which is going to work really well on a tablet as well. I haven't really kept up on 8 at all but I found picked it up in minutes and was able to navigate pretty naturally. Some smart "shortcuts"; moving your mouse to the left pulls up recent apps. Right brings up settings, etc. Moving tiles around is really easy and natural. Overall Im impressed with the new "Start" Menu, but who knows how it's going to do work when youre actually multitasking and trying to get shit done rather than just messing around for fun as I have been for the last few minutes. That's what Im most concerned about. Trying to navigate the "desktop" without a real Start menu makes me feel like I'm reaching for an amputated arm. Going between the Desktop and the "Start" menu is still freakin' weird and the fact that you can run some apps on both your desktop and Start is still offputting in the few occasions it happens (IE).

Overall Im pretty impressed. This is the most ahead of the curve Microsoft has seemed in a long time but I don't know if I like that my $2000 pc and my $400 tablet will be essentially running the same OS. Totally want a tablet running 8 now; I just hope that some of the old desktop options are brought back for desktop PCs in a "Classic mode" type setup.

How did Corey Luiget turn out? I remember basing that off who I thought they would get, and I remember them gushing about Quinn being available still.

They should have listened to me on Cobb in the 2nd!

I thought he was a little raw coming out of college anyway, but he is supremely talented, in my humble opinion. He is more suited for a 4-3 D, but I think he will be a very good player for years regardless of the system he is in

OH MY GOD BURN IT WITH FIRE
 
I want to try it out before killing it but man does it look terrible on first sight. Never really got the appeal of Windows Phone, lots of positives from user impressions, never met anyone who had one in real life though.

Have you ever tried using that stupid fucking abomination of a desktop UI Launchpad or Skyrocket or Launchrocket or whatever the hell Apple calls it? It's basically just the terrible iOS ported to desktop. It sucks. Know why, because the interfaces are completely God damned different. I don't need giant god damn spaced out buttons because I am not using some tub of shit fat Pennsylvania coalminers sausage-tipped-pancake mits to open "apps." I am running motherfucking programs using an elegant, precise pointing interface.

Microsoft can take their fucking tiles and shove them up their ass. (they seem rad on a phone though)
 
Ez is right that Launchpad is worthless.

But expose is still the bomb! I love working on my Mac.

FMT stay the fuck away from Wallace. I will cut you. Believe this.
 
Just installed Windows 8 today. It's really not to bad. There is a learning curve, but within thirty minutes I could navigate without issue.

I'll probably throw it on an old laptop. If it's supposed to run on tablets surely it will run on an old alienware junker.

Gonna watch the tested quick look right now.

I love Microsoft's idiotic way of doing business. "Hey guys, we just created the most fantastic OS ever released. Let's completely blow it up and pretend like all screens are touch screens"

I blame Steve Jobs. Thank god he is dead.
 
A mock GAFt sounds like fun, although I admit my personal knowledge and research effort would probably only manage to go far enough to cover the first round.

Would this work like actual drafts, where each team gets their regulars together into a war room to banter over who to put on our boards?

32. Green Bay Packers - TheLegendary, eznark, wienke, mastershake, Buckethead - Brooks Reed - Brooks Reed has it all. The speed, the power...the hair! Ladies love him, Alex Smith wants to blow him. Reed will fit in wonderfully in the active, aggressive and attacking Dom Capers World Champion Green Bay Packers Defense. His fantastic showing at the 2011 Combine coupled with a career based on extreme, Claymaker-esque work ethic have propelled him to the top of the World Champion Green Bay Packers draft board. He played his way into the line up on Saturday's with tenacity and desire, after riding the pines in 2007 as a running back. He is a killer of men, a destroyer of offensive lines, and will also punch little girls like Jay Cutler directly in the fucking little girl mouth. Brooks defeats blocking tight ends with strength and gaps lines with speed.

Texans-GAF, how spot on was I, eh?

I don't generally take offense or umbrage with your particular brand of juvenile tomfoolery, but this is absurd. No one was hurt on our hunting trip and I was a thousand miles away when the idiot cut his finger off. I am a fantastic, safe and courteous carpenter. I'll not have you belittling my craftsmanship.



fucker
 
At least last we didn't get anyone that went in the 4th or 6th selected in our mock. Daquan probably the biggest difference due to Vikes-age ignoring the knee reports

If you can say it is unsafe to go into a room alone with FMT then I can say it is unsafe to be around you when you have a firearm or electric saw in your hands!

Now you can say you wouldn't trust your fat sister alone in a bathroom with me.

If they could integrate some decent multitouch features with a trackpad it would be fantastic for a laptop. Problem with that is every laptop is still coming preloaded with some brand of proprietary drivers.

I've never been a big supporter of touch panel devices. As long as they can co-exist properly with a mouse and keyboard station, I have no problem with them making efforts to expand an operating system's device list.

Piecing numbers together front multiple sources we got about 7.8ish after the Ward/Smith/Kemo cuts. Farrior is due to make 2.8 this year. Could be axed as well, Foote more than likely as well

God that would be stupid. Either get Peyton (won't happen, I know) or stick with Alex, we've already got Kaepernick as a future prospect.
 
I'm off starting tomorrow, so I figure i'm going to start collecting names for people that want to participate. I'll do it like last year: I won't assume you're in unless you tell me. It should be considered a consensus pick - team members should collaborate to choose someone instead of one just blurting out their pick. My daughter is impatient and owns my iPad, so i'm going to be less patien in waiting; say, four hours selection time per team. You don't make the time, you get skipped.
