I honestly think Martin to Giants is not smoke. Justin Pugh is a prototypical Giants lineman, and Future described him as a berrer Justin Pugh.

Ouch.
Surprised you like Murray, his pocket presence is about the same as Carr, doesn't do well with pressure, real or imagined.
Entirely possible Rams take Mathews and Raiders take Robinson. I really don't have a good guess on how Rams have the OL ranked, other than I think they like all 4 and so a trade down won't cost much as long as they get one of them
I am hopeful this will happen.
Martin is certainly intriguing. I think he is a fallback option if somebody like Evans isn't available, though. If they were to pick him, he has to play. No reason to pick somebody at #12 in this draft class and not have him be able to start on a line that was god-awful last season. The LT and RG spots are open but if Beatty is back by then he'll start. OL possibilities:
Beatty-Martin-Walton-Schwartz-Pugh
Pugh-Beatty-Walton-Schwartz-Martin
Pugh-Schwartz-Walton-?-Martin
"?" could be Jerry or Snee. Wildcard is Beatty. I think he's too finesse to play guard and RT and his contract is fairly large.
I thought he showed a lot of toughness this year. UGA was decimated by injuries and he was getting smashed play after play.
There's no way he falls to 22. Our mock draft was bonkers.
Plus what do you do with Foles then? You'd have to try and trade him and no one will give you anything when they know you've essentially given up on him anyway.

So Mayock thinks Miami should go with T Kouandijio? If not draft a WR at number 19? Get bent Mayock, that would be stupid.

I hope they trade Couts in the offseason, dude was terrible in this series.
Let Foles play the year while JFF learns. If he does well then pick up his option multiple teams would want to trade for him after 2 good seasons, if he sucks then you let him walk and you havent lost anything.
the same people that post about every rumor from every "source" the second they hear it... won't post actual breaking news
makes sense!
Players get called before they're picked. Generally they have reporters or cameras there.

I usually agree with his draft stuff, but I think he's really off base this year

Wildcard berths that can't beat teams without a winning record should have homefield advantage

ESPN and NFL reporters agree to stop being reporters because the NFL said so.
Well they should make it a rule that the team can't call the agent/player until after the pick has been announced. At least for the first couple rounds.
No way, YH. I have to stop you there. You are dead wrong. Couts is going to be a 60-70 point Selke winner for years to come. He's only 21 years old. I'm not giving up on him. He didn't even have that bad of a series.
Couturier had almost 40 points this year while playing exclusively in a shutdown/PK role. He's a big dude with a lot of offensive upside. Don't give up on him.

I will never forget that turnover in game 7 that lead to the first goal. Plus who else do they have to trade?

How so? The draft is an event, something people like to watch unfold so why don't you understand the concept of some of us not wanting to spoil it on a message forum or twitter? That's cool if you and some others could give a shit about the event aspect of it but you should at least be able to understand or respect why others don't want to be spoiled. If I can deal with you watching shitty cartoon pony shows as a grown man you can deal with me enjoying my little draft show!
Brayden Schenn. I'm not trading Sean Couturier. Look at Patrice Bergeron. That's who Couturier is except Couturier is as tall and strong as the Stall brothers in Carolina.
Replacing Couturier is hard. He plays the second most minutes on the team behind Giroux. There is a reason for that. Couturier is probably the second best player on the team, and has only scratched the surface. You can be disappointed in his offensive output, but Couturier is ready to explode.
So is mine.
I am not alone! JFF.....your thoughts?
If anyone cares Texans GM Rick Smith will be holding pre draft presser in 20 minutes here:

I don't really care for spoilers to the draft, but since I'll be at work for the start of round 1 and I'll be here following along I won't spoil anything
I like him and wouldn't be disappointed with him as the Texans pick but I'd prefer Clowney or one of the others in the top 5, maybe even your pick of Mack.
Honestly I think luck is a bigger component than skill in determining a teams draft success. Every player has an upside and a downside, a good organization can only do so much to tilt the odds in their favor.
:jnc
I just saw that.
Poor Browns. Stick with it Ohio. One day you will have your reckoning.
Vince Young! Super Bowl, here we come!
On a related note, there's a new Michael Jackson song premiering tonight.

It's a news event. Shit is actually happening with actual consequences, so whether you hear about it now, a few minutes later, or a few weeks later, you're going to hear about it regardless whether you like it or not, so why not earlier?
Even if it were such a big deal, then turn off the computer and sit your ass in front of the TV.

B Schenn looks to be a great offensive player. The Flyers desperately need more scoring. They lost to the Rags because of lack of scoring more then anything else.

It's not just news, it's entertainment. I feel humor when a team makes a perceived shitty pick or anger when someone takes the guy I want for my team or elation when my guy keeps falling. I feel anticipation when the clock is running and for the walk up to the podium, card in hand. The way it's conveyed is a lot more suspenseful and entertaining to me than other mediums. I understand what you're saying, what I'm trying to convey to you is that some of us see this as pure entertainment, not just matter of fact news. As for staying away from online, we like to troll each other for their team making a shitty pick! If the Texans take JFF, I want to see Mech's tears!
Why the hell would they do that when they could get one just by sitting at #6?
