I would trade up into the end of the 1st round and draft EJ.

Picked up the Wii U version of Injustice today. The system needs a little love.
It can be argued that it's a better idea to draft a qb low first than high second because of the contract situation (5 years vs 4). I think there will be a ton of teams trying to trade picks this year, whether or not it happens, I have no idea.

How is Injustice?
Lol, I said he seems cool. Both him and Peyton seem to have a good sense of humor. He just looks awful dorky at times.So mean.
Look at that young Anthony Michael Hall looking face! (put some fucking socks on Peyton!)
And Peyton knows how to style by discarding the socks.

Literally about to give it a shot. I still have about another hour to go to finish up Guacamelee though so I doubt I'll get /too/ into it just yet. I want to finish that up first.
The Bears came out today and said #20 was for sale. There's just too many sellers b/c all the value is in the early second round, unless teams will take very little in return for moving back

Just beat Mega Man 2 for the first time in my life. It's a pretty cool game but I can't help but feel like there is some major nostalgia influencing the hype.
Watching some NFLN Gamechangers show with the top prospects at certain positions.
Pretty good stuff. Teo even making jokes about himself. Talking about imaginary WRs and hes says "I'm good with imaginary stuff"
Watched the whole Chip Kelly 30 min presser. Good lord he can talk football for days. I think he spoke more in 30 minutes than Reid did in his entire 14 years here.
RIP Summerall. I think his voice was def one of the reasons football appealed to me.

I never realized how much of a trophy whore I became until the Wii U came out.
I don't mind it on Steam because it tracks either playtime or playtime and achievements both.
I really like having that little reminder of all the games I've played!
Nah, that game will forever be awesome. Great gameplay, memorable music. It's a classic. Although I'm still bitter we never got a Powered Up 2, damn Capcom.
And just saw that Pat Summerall passed away, RIP =(
That's what I find truly interesting about this draft. Will teams adjust the values of their picks to fit the unique nature of this draft or will they hold fast to the old trade chart? Hint: The Steelers won't be trading back. They may overpay and move up, though!
I didn't know Mooch had his own qb Camp-esque show. Watching now.
How dare you talk about Peyton like that!
If he had just sucked, definitely, but he couldn't help his condition.

Don't get me wrong, I'm not disputing its spot as a classic. If nothing else the game is incredibly influential. But yeah, the music is great and the gameplay is quite solid.
Yea. I'm a part of the trophy whore thread. I'm trying to care less, but when I naturally get most of the trophies, I can't help but try to get the rest.
I've been getting better and playing a lot less lately. Partly because I'm far more mobile than I was even 4 months ago
Yeah that was excessive. Fair criticism. But some of the shit was cool. Like when fucks up those bandits.
Megaman2 is an 8 bit game. 16bit games are as good as anything today but 8 bit games show their age. But that shit was epic as fuck when it came out. You had to be there. Same with OG Super Mario, Phantasy Star, Final Fantasy, etc...
Same condition that Jarvis Jones has. Cooper couldn't play college ball and Jones wants to play in NFL
For who? Gotta figure MIA or SD will move back if they miss out on their OT of choice

Check out Prince of Thorns. I just read it over the weekend, the main character is like a anti-kvothe badass.

The problem really is that Qvothe knows everything and can get out of any situation, no matter how crazy it is. World's deadliest poison? He has an antidote. Crazy sex fairy queen? He's the only man to escape. Three of this nine strings break on this banjo (or whatever he was playing)? He continues to play the hardest song in the world to perfection.
Imo, there's only one player worth trading up for, if you're the Steelers, and that's Tavon Austin. The 'Fins at 12 would be a good spot, if he's still on the board.

I've heard good things about this one. It's on my list
with about 40 other books, unfortunately.
That is not a problem. That is who he is. He is a genius so it makes sense that he uses his brain and willpower to get through those situations. It's the story of how he became a legend. What did you expect? Stories about epic gifs he created for the NPD thread?
book bros!

That's true if you're not thinking top 5. I mean they could use Milliner or Jordan or Ansah but they'd need to give up quite a bit to jump that high.
AngmarsKing701

I expect him to not be an utterly perfect d-bag, I guess. He's becoming less interesting because of it IMO.
I guess I'm used to a hero with faults. Qvothe is too good to be true.
Of course maybe Rothfuss is setting us up to believe this.
In any other draft, those guys wouldn't be top 5 picks. So it gets back to the original discussion: how will teams value those spots?
I have been all over the WR map and it just comes down to Austin being the one guy I feel okay with as a first rounder. Allen and Patterson off the field stuff makes them second round guys. I like Nuke Hopkins, but think his game is like a cross between Plax and Wayne, but he's not as tall as Plax or as quick and fast as Reggie
First round sucks after about #12. It's all second round talent in any other draft from 13-70

Right. And frankly I'd rather trade down and get more picks, because I think we're in a tough spot at 17. Not a lot of impact players there unless teams ahead of us go reaching for QBs, leaving potential gems in the mix. But we have so many holes that we need depth.
That's been my position all along. Move away from 17 if at all possible. Since the Steelers haven't shown a proclivity for trading down, I'm now putting my effort into trading up.
Let's say Austin goes to BUF at 8. PITT is a 17 and JAX wants to trade up for a QB. What is your goal as far as trade back? In a bad draft, what is the adjusted expectation?
