You do not talk shit about The Truth, cunt
Man I hope the Texans don't find out Prescott visited the Eagles.
But he is always hurt. And Sproles has def lost 2 steps and can't be a 3 down back.
If I had to rank, Elliot would be below Jack, Hargreaves, or the best DE available but I wouldn't be shocked or upset that they take Elliot.
He will be dynamic enough to win 2-3 games by himself.
As I said yesterday, they have through FA and resigning their own guys, addressed most of their biggest needs to the point that they have solid to above average starters at all spots.
At pick 8, they could take CB, LB, or OT and I'd be fine with any of those picks. They don't have a glaring need they need to have at 8. Zeke fits in that sense as well.
They could always take the best T or CB left in the 3-4 round during which they have 3 picks.
Still I'd want Jack above all, but assuming he is most likely gone by 8, I'd like Hargreaves, best OT, and then Zeke in that order.

Banner was right after all.
Or a masochist?
I'm so glad I wasn't the only one to think that.
Speaking of possible sociopaths?
And by tape, you possibly touched yourself to that Sugar Bowl game against Alabama?
Cause I sometimes think about it and find it arousing.
I know everyone wants to say Zeke is a sure thing, but RBs bust just as much as other top picks. And there is a lot of evidence that you can pick up talented RBs in later rounds, where if they bust it's not as huge a deal. I just don't think drafting Elliott at 8 is a good use of your resources. I'm fine going into this season with Mathews, Sproles, and Barner. Maybe take a RB in rounds 4-7, if you want a bit more depth and TC competition.
Don't forget also that next year the RB class looks to be stacked with Fournette, Cook, and Chubb. So if Mathews and Sproles are gone next year, we could grab one of those guys to pair with Lynch or Prescott and have a potentially great QB-RB combo for years to come.

I don't think Barner is in the picture. After the fumble against NE, he didn't get another touch until Week 17. Lots of drops, too. Just can't hold on to the ball

Brady been flying the squad out to LA for years.
Also, who am I drafting for, friend Chris?
But by that logic none of these guys or positions are sure picks. Even the first round, where the best go, what is the success and bust rate? I'd say more than 50 % never live to full potential and can be qualified as busts.
The Eagles basically moved up from 13 to 8 because they think there are 10 elite players in this draft. Who are they 10?
Personally I find it hard to believe that any of those 10 are QBs and the Eagles own actions with bringing back Bradford and then signing Chase show they don't believe that either no matter how much reports say they love so and so QB.
So assuming its not QB, you are left with 10 players of which 1 is a RB. You also now have to think, who of these 10 (because someone will take QBs in the top 10, thus letting actual top 10 talent slide out of the top 10) would have been available at 13? I think had the Eagles stayed at 13, they could have still landed the 2nd or 3rd best OT in the draft.
To me their actions say they aren't targeting a QB or OT with the 8th pick. Jason Peters is 34 but they are bringing him and his large salary back. If they were in love with one of the tackles, they would have cut Peters and used some of that money to maybe sign another vet G, take Conklin at 13 or 8 to play RT, and would have slided Lane Johnson to LT.
I think they are set on Myles Jack, Vernon Hargreaves, and 3rd Zeke. And 1 of them should be available at 8, especially if 2 teams take a QB in the top 7 which is very possible between Cleveland, Dallas, SF, and or a surprise team moving up.
With total 9 picks, they can address OT depth, RB, CB, and LB with those later picks.
Love me some Tom as well. Fuck the haters.

So I got done with my first LASIK consultation and that shit was uncomfortable as fuck. I knew it was going to expensive as soon as I walked in because all the females working there were all blonde and hot. wienku would've been in heaven. But throughout the whole thing felt like I was a sale rather than a patient. They wanted $5200 for the procedure. I'm going somewhere else.

I thought about doing that but I don't trust that shit and I can't imagine having someone slicing my eye open...ugh fuck that. I'm not that blind and after 15 years of wearing glasses I'm used to it.

What plebs with your imperfect vision.
We should mandate that vision coverage is separate from healthcare so that the perfect vision master race doesn't have to subsidize the lower class.
Also, short and bald men should be barred from all positions of authority.

Did the term "four eyes" ever actually hurt a single persons feelings in history?
I hope he doesn't slide to 8.
He is risen!

Hmmm...so apparently all the noisy construction happening at the building behind us is for Under Armor's new west coast HQ. Everyone be moving to SF's SOMA district it seems.

I used to live in Bayview. I wonder if they're still keeping it real down there.
I want the procedure done, but by someone else definitely. This was some new bladeless procedure. I'll pay less to go with the bladed procedure.

Definetly go cheap on eyesight. You have two eyes if they fuck up one of them.
I know a guy who will do it for $200 per eye. You bring your own pain killers.
I would say Gurley's almost there, and I place Zeke near Gurley status. The Eagles technically would have traded up for him to take him at eight, but they really didn't give up that much in that trade in the first place.
Would you be elated if JR picked him?
I'm so torn on a bunch of guys. I feel like I wouldn't hate it if they selected Treadwell or Hargreaves, or even Stanley/Conklin, but I am against them grabbing Floyd. Feels like he's way too soft at the point of attack. Wide receiver is sort of deep just with no elite talents. DE I see them taking too, somewhere in the first four rounds.
My premier choice is Jack but I'm not confident he'll fall that far.
Jack won't fall, the Giants will have to trade up for him and I would love it if they do. As for Zeke, I wouldn't be happy with it ... but I wasn't happy with Beckham at the time; and I was completely wrong there. The only reason I wouldn't be happy is that I think the offense is potent enough, the D needs alot of help still.
I almost want them to trade down to 17ish or so and pick up a safety. I fear there's going to be a run of them in the late first round/early second round before the Giants pick in the second round, and that's by far the biggest need on the team.

I'll be sure to copy down your answer so I can make it for my mock draft. Don't we all have to do one for the Shirtless League to determine who goes number one overall?

I'm genuinely shocked he was cut so soon. That is unless we don't know something else about his injuries.
