I have to say, I may be biased (obviously), but I don't mind at all that you guys chose not to upgrade your OL at all until the 4th, and took Floyd instead. Is he awesome? Yes, no doubt, and he'll be a handful with Fitz on the other side, but combine the Cards terrible OL with the mediocre QB situation and inconsistency of your run game thanks to Band-aid Beanie, and it'll be tough to maximize Floyd's contributions right away.

NFL Off-Season |OT2| My Beautiful Dark Twisted Fantasy Draft

- Start date
Its fun to compare draft grades 1 week after the draft and compare how the players are at after 3-4 years.
Just some quick rolls at this new place by my office. Went with spicy tuna, salmon/avocado and tuna/cucumber. Came with soup and a salad as well. Good deal for $10.

I get it. Specifically 3-4 years down the line. You've had time to see how they've developed. The week after the draft? I find it fairly useless. So they gave the Giants an A for Wilson? Yay. That means nothing to me until he gets on the field and shows why he was worthy of that pick. It just comes off as content filler on these sites.jakncoke said:
Heh, it's all good. I get why they're posted. Not meaning to rain on anyones parade as far as draft grades go. Just my own person view on them is all.Bowser said:I know they're dumb, I just felt like raining on his parade
Clearly, but like Mock Drafts its a convenient format to glean information on guys that you might know nothing about.
I've forwarded all draft grades to HoFinley so that he can learn who his new teammates are (until the Packers trade his bitch ass).
How embarrassing

You can't really agree with this guy, can you? You are going to complain about Detroit taking a top 15 talent at pick 23 to help improve an old and busted offensive line? Cmon son
Still fucking clueless.

No. 12 Philadelphia Eagles Fletcher Cox, DT, Mississippi State
The Eagles did one thing very well last year. They were No. 8 on the Cold, Hard Football Facts Defensive Hog Index and best in the NFL at pressuring the passer: No. 1 in both sacks (50) and at forcing Negative Pass Play (11.4 percent of opponent dropbacks ended in sack or INT). Philly chose to accentuate a strength rather than fill a statistical weakness. He is stud talent, though: a big man with explosive speed.
Grade: D-
LOL at giving teams a low grade because they drafted BPA, and didnt reach to fill a need, not even counting the fact that a DT that can help stop the run was actually a need for the Eagles.

I did. I played through the first episode and it's excellent. Easily the best of the Telltale games.
Good story too which ties nicely into the comic. Some decent cameos by some big name characters and locations.

After their Law and Order game I'm only buying Telltale after a sale.

It's so much better than Jurassic (which I agree was terrible). They dumped the endless QTE bullshit from that game. Definitely give it a shot.eznark said:

If the game has the full story mode I can't recommend it enough. Best single player fighting game ever, by a fucking mile.

I havent finished Uncharted yet, barely played Wipeout, still want to play more of the Show, and I want to pick up Disgaea 3 and sink a few hundred hours into that. Right now there are a lot of vita games that I would like to play but I am crazy busy. I havent even been gaming on any consoles lately.

I have never said anything bad about the Reiff pick, we need help on the o line. He's basically the second best o liner in the draft, of course I like the pick at 23
My problem is with the WR with the busted knee. I get that our secondary was injured late in the season, and perhaps Meyhew feels that's the reason we got torched. But if that's the case, why not go out and stack talent at that position, starting with a second round draft pick. It just doesn't make sense.
Who are you, Mike Valenti? People are acting like Boyles just tore up his knee last month. He is ahead of schedule, already running a 4.5/40 and said he is getting more and more confidence cutting off it every day.

I can understand what you're saying, but Broyles is an all star receiver who got injured and slid in the draft. He is such a talented guy. Like I told Plinko, Nate is running on fumes by the end of the year and Broyles will be the guy who takes over, and does a better job than Nate ever did, when the year is over.
And the DB scenario will be ok. I think the D-line comes in rejuvinated and gets a heavier pass rush and does a better job against the run this year, while Tulloch and crew clean up. We drafted a guy in Bentley who can be a very good player, while the guy from Albion is a physical monster who will be in the line up next year when he gets the game down.
And the steal of the draft is Travis Lewis from Oklahoma. He was a monster for the Sooners and slid because of overrated combine outcomes. He will be a very good player in a year or two. I really love what Detroit did with the draft this year and it will play MASSIVE dividends in the next year or two
Snap.

Can't call Kolb a bust until after this season. He has every opportunity now and no excuses. Make or break year for him. I'm happy with Skelton as plan B, if he can just increase his accuracy he can become a very good QB.
Oh noes! Seriously, I get a huge chuckle out of all the morons on the internet that gave us a C or worse.
It doesn't matter what round you upgrade at, it's the talent you choose. How many first round busts have their been? A large portion of solid OL players have come from later rounds and I think Massie will work out great. I don't think Reiff is that far above Massie, no where near the gap between Floyd and whatever WR's would be available in the third round on. Floyd over Reiff was the right decision. Our whole OL isn't terrible either, just the tackles. Levi really stepped it up for the final stretch last year, the question is if he just did it for a contract or not. If he can build off that, he'll be serviceable at LT and Massie should be solid at RT, hopefully sooner than later. Our OL should be much improved this year. They really only need to be mediocre with all the weapons we have now. Shouldn't be hard for Fitz or Floyd to get open on any given play, QB won't need much time. Beanie fought through his injury last year and had his career season, he's not the liability he was the previous year. We'll also have Ryan Williams back who was looking like a stud before he was injured in the pre-season. He'll take a good portion of the load off of Beanie for a balanced attack that will keep each fresh and hopefully lower Beanie's injury count. Our offense will be a new beast this year, just wait and see!

That makes no sense.
The Jets needed a WR.

A WR can't throw the ball to himself in the NFL
This +100. Shanny is smarter than most people to seem to think. And Skip Bayless needs to lose his voice.

Jerry Reese just did a 25 minute interview with Francessa on WFAN. The fat man totally soft balled Reese. Not a single question on the Osi situation or anything other than PR ball washing. Poor form and I'm a Reese devotee!
Gotta make more edits then.
I go to every Steelers home game. I'm Born, raised, still living in the Steel City. Does that qualify me for this picture?
Bark Mingo is going top 5 if he comes out next year based on the Irvin interest, which I don't necessarily believe. Mingo can actually play, Jones will be in the top 10 along with Montgomery (if he comes out). Stacked pass rushing class next year, stacked DL talent across the board.
That said, if C.Clemons can notch close to a dozen in that system, Irvin can definitely get close his rookie year if not more.

Well, you know that whole bit about Eli not allowed to go on Espn Radio anymore, I have a feeling it's about trying to placate the team that they broadcast (versus the Jets and Espn Radio).
Yet they drafted a passrusher with the pick right after Irvin was picked?
I mean if that was true the draft order makes no sense unless they thought Irvin would fall to the 3rd round.
I think you're reading the quote wrong? Apparently the Jets wanted to take Irvin 16th, not in the 2nd round.

The Walking Dead game is pretty good. Never seen the show or read the comic. Really well done.
