The future of the AFC rests squarely on Luck's mongoloid shoulders.
I counted the teams in the NFC. I couldn't even finger a sconi with the fingers I counted.

Don't think Mingo will get past the Steelers if he's still available.
Te'o's slipped on draft boards recently too.

Apparently we are also eating Graves contract for over another mil. No way that guy gets hired anywhere but I'm hopeful that some team will take most of what we owe Whiz off our hands. Even if it's just OC money.

No thanks to Te'o. We have enough two down linebackers that can't shed blocks. Thanks. I don't need Rey Maualuga 2.0 in a Giants uniform.squicken said:
I'll take Tyler Eifert or Johnthan Banks before I care to se Te'o wearing blue.
Maybe I'm crazy, but I've seen a lot of Oregon games and Dion Jordan has never popped out to me much.
Hmm...interesting. Interested to see how much he'll have to show off in terms of standing up leading up to the combine. He definitely rushed from the two technique a few times - helps when you're the fastest guy on the field as a defensive end sometimes.
This draft is deep in defensive linemen...and shallow at the skill positions.
I disagree, and he is quite a subtle Seahawks homer (which honestly I don't mind if you're honest about it, which he somewhat is to his credit).
He definitely is fond of jumping to conclusions and living only in the moment, though really, who at ESPN isn't?

Worst mock I've seen. No way in hell it plays out like that for top 10.
As far as STL he seems to know Fishers history with RBs. One of the dinosaurs when it comes to putting 1st round grades on them. Been wraning Rams fans about that since he was hired. It's just something he's going to do.
Anyone know much on Keenan Allen. See this is the reason the Professor Football thread has to have draft talk. LJ knows all these guys, ari doesn't
haha he is honest about it I think. I love his podcast with the NFCN guy. My favorite thing about Sando is he refuses to go to STL. One game a year, and who could blame him? But it is sort of a blind spot b/c he is far more plugged in w/SEA than any of the other teams. No one in SF to feed him stuff on Kaep's work ethic
Wilson has gotten the same praise since High School. The people at Wisconsin raved about him. (They are saying the same things about his sister who just committed to play bball in Madison). Sure a lot of it is probably hyperbole but knowing people who know him, he is a dedicated mother fucker per every single account.
That said, most professional athletes are so who cares? Such a hollow compliment.

Not sure what the biggest need for us is, edge rusher or inside linebacker to hold down the middle and maybe even call some plays on defense. We really need to get it right though.
I actually think ILB is the bigger need (assuming Woodley earns his contract and Harrison squeezes out one more year) but we should take the best player at those two positions available.
Lacy to the Rams?
Did Richardson not work out last year?
Edit: Just saw your other post.
I did not watch him play more than two or three games but he seemed lazy to me. Nonchalant, slowed routes down field, took plays off. But he was also pretty crisp when he wanted to be. I maybe just saw some off-games but I wouldn't want to take him. He was also banged up and Maynard sucked.

Inside Linebacker, by far.
That said the talent just isn't there in the first round to draft that Position. Colbert is going for a lock so unless he takes Te'o or puts one of the outside backers inside it'll be an edge rusher.
Perfect for us
Shy of maybe Nose tackle DL is the one position we don't need.
Steelers will be taking the bpa. As always. There isn't a single position that couldn't use an upgrade at this point.
Are you preparing your phone call to Jim Rome?

Saving this comment.
I don't think the Chargers would let Eric Fisher get past the #11 pick. They really need help at the OT position.
Talent is always there, you just have to smart enough to find it. Our best player on defense for the last 5 years was someone no one in the NFL wanted and was cut by the Steelers and Ravens multiple times. Harrison went on to be a DPOY and made the greatest play in Superbowl history (IMO).
There are always gems in almost every round of the draft. We have really sucked dick though lately outside of the first two rounds.
We don't necessarily need a game changer at ILB. I will take someone who is really smart who can tackle like a mofo and is athletic enough. We do need a game changer as a pass rusher though. Going to be really hard to replace Harrison. There are not a lot of players like him.

Perfect for the Giants after a down year in the pass rush department. Especially with Osi leaving, Tuck playing on one shoulder and a hole at defensive tackle. Time to restock that defensive line, Reese.Talon said:

Caller, go.
When they were healthy our secondary was not a problem this year. In fact I think once they got comfortable we were better without Troy. No idea what shape he is coming back in. When is the last time Troy was playing at a high level?
If Trent Richardson, that was who the Rams wanted at #6 last year. Fisher then snapped his glasses when JAX jumped them for Blackmon. Would rather have Brockers than Trent so I'm not mad. Dunno on Blackmon. Need to see him with an NFL QB
Daryl Richardson did nothing in the second half and had fumbling and pass pro issues. Pead did nothing, which is alarming for a RB. Fisher may have decided with SJAX that having a big guy back there for pass pro is optimal

Yeah, Colbert doesn't draft like that though. The first round isn't for experiments. It's for guys who have proven their worth on the field in college and can go. 3-7 is where Colbert and Tomlin experiment with diamonds in the rough.
Troy is still the same player he always was - when he's healthy.
That's his problem. It really comes down to whether or not the Steelers think he can stay healthy. If they don't then they may as well cut him. Safety isn't looking overly hot in this draft anyway.

Haha, perfect.
The difference between playing in the ACC and the SEC. I've heard plenty about him actually as a top 10ish type, but I'm a college fan, so that might explain it.

I think the Eagles are gonna get Geno. Either trade up if he impresses at the combine or take him at 4 if he falls. No way can they go into a season with Foles.

Post of the postseason.
What is this? Are you in the Spectral camp of hall of famer or bust?
I feel like he was way, way better last year for what it's worth. Seems like a head case a little bit. One of those guy who might really move up fast if he has a good combine.
FSU has been under the radar. I pay a fair amount of attention to college football and I was really blown away by just how talented that defense was in their bowl game.

I want the Seahawks to get Deandre Hopkins so bad. He was brilliant all year at getting open when the pocket broke down. He played his ass off 100% of the time (that I saw) and is just one of those smooth natural ball catchers. Just has a knack for finding seams and holes. Pairing him with Wilson would be really, really special.
I wasn't really familiar other than hearing that he's good, because Watkins gets most of the press. But that sounds like the perfect draft pick. He's 6'1" too, so he has decent size. Do want.
I hope Russell Wilson shrinks to Arron Rodgers' size!
Right, and that was after Tank Carradine (who probably would've been a first rounder as well) blew out his knee against Florida.
Carradine will be interesting to watch. Juco transfer from two season ago (2011) with 11 sacks this year. Doesn't have too much of an injury history, but he's also just a one year starter after being used situationally last year. Really burst onto the scene this year, but how much of that was having Werner on the opposite side of the formation - and vice versa? Sounds like another of those sleepers that everyone will be talking about in the 2nd-3rd rounds.
Seemed hyperathletic from what I saw of him this year.
Are you about to :seachicken on us?
You do not want Geno. I probably watched 8 of his games this year, and I'm not sure he's better than Landry Jones. The guy most people seem to be curious on is Tyler Wilson. Such a disaster after Petrino's misadventure, and has concussion issue, but could be the guy to come out of this QB class. Didn't watch much Arky so don't have a strong opinion
Nooooo!!!
I just realized that Sammy Watkins will be eligible for the next draft as well. Watkins, Clowney, Marqise Lee. 2014 draft will be fucking ridiculous.
Glad this year is defense heavy because that is what we need. Our biggest needs are FS, CB, RT, ILB. We still have Tanard Jackson and Merriweather who havent played much due to injuries and suspension but are likely upgrades over our current starters Williams and Doughty. Our top two corners Wilson and Hall are average, Hall is supposed to have a big pay day this year but I'm sure he will restructure because no one will pay him big money. At RT Jamal Brown has been MIA since signing and Polumbus has been bad so something needs to be done here. ILB will need to be drafted since Fletcher is nearing retirement unless 5th rd pick Keenan Robinson develops.

My love of Wilson cannot be squelched by frivolous things like fan loyalty.
Honestly, I just want to see how well he plays with a legit receiving threat and the Seahawks are pretty well stacked so they can probably afford a WR in the late first.
I would never, ever, ever want the Packers to take a WR in the first round so it also helps GB!
This would be a great time to con some shit team out of their first pick next year. Get me the Browns on the phone!
