Gray looks great as an accent color IMO. Oklahoma State changed their unis a couple years ago and most people were pretty "meh" on the gray options, but it looks great as an accent to other dominant colors.
Even if you don't like the gray, the old Vikes unis were atrocious and needed to be burned.

I like it in OSU's case because grey is basically the second color. There's also some black but that doesn't really clash with grey at all. I just think it looks weird when you already have purple and yellow, but that's just me. And yeah, it's not like the Vikings had the greatest uniforms to begin with.
On a semi-related note, I really hope the Dolphins don't incorporate grey or silver into their new uniforms.

I'm gonna be honest..
If I had my way the only way a skill position other than quarterback would even be drafted in the first round is if he was a can't miss with all the tools like Julio Jones. I would be happy to see nothing but linebackers and O and D linemen in the first.

So seems like the few who have opined say Floyd or Mingo. Gonna wait until we've got more people involved before narrowing it down, though
edit: The Rams met with Hopkins on Friday and are meeting with him again today. Only guy they have worked out twice, though they are doing a WR tour, like last year
edit2: Every team that doesn't get Joeckel or Fisher should trade their pick in the top 10. But who is trading up for Ansah? Or Milliner? The reason to move out is the reason no one will move up
I'm 50/50 on Austin/Floyd, you can use mine as a count for Floyd. But if I were the Browns, this is a TRADE TRADE TRADE situation, you can get a a dlineman/backer almost as good as both in the late teens, and probably get Sheldon Richardson who's probably the biggest need.

Yep. The Dolphins should trade up for Lane Johnson in this scenario and forget about Albert.

If it came down to this with no down option I think it would be Mingo Vs Ansah. Mingos been picking up steam to the Browns for a bit, at first I wasn't for it but it's growing on me. Lombardi in the press Conference almost hinted to the fact that he liked Ansah and said he could play in A 3-4. It's a hard choice for me but I'm going with Mingo to really sure up our Pass rush. Plenty of other good Cbs to be had in the draft that wouldnt have to take one here.
Edit: also I like those new Vikings jerseys, gives me hope for Browns one. Idk about those jags ones though ehh
Double edit: if it played with us getting Austin also wouldnt be mad

If we can make trades for this mock. I'd do this.
Browns/Dolphins exchange first Fins draft Lane Johnson, Fins would need to hopscotch over the cards/chargers for this. It makes alot of sense for both teams.
Did the Bucs really get Revis for no money guaranteed? If so what is the catch to that deal?
It is hard for me to believe that a player as good as Revis (and he is not even 30) would go for that cheap.
And how can the Jets not afford Revis? They have zero talent on their team.
Under the current salary cap rules do teams even want to sign superstars anymore? It seems like they just want to draft them and keep them for cheap and then gamble them away for some high picks in the hopes they can do it again.
I understand that policy for wide receivers and a lot of positions where the value is not warranted. But I thought that shut down corners were worth their weight in gold in todays league. Valued only after quarterbacks, pass rushers and left tackles.

I think it depends on what they could do it for. For their first and a second it seems like a no-brainer, but I don't know how much Cleveland would be asking. Plus there's the Albert wildcard. I really don't know what Ireland is leaning towards, though. Given the importance of this year for him he might value Albert's experience more than a rookie's potential upside.
Here comes another Jared Odrick!!!That's why I said we were going to do this with no trades. It's too hard to debate a trade w/ compensation and then go on to the pick. The idea was to discuss each team, their needs, and how they should proceed in filling those needs in the first round.
Fair enough, Floyd for me but it's an uggggh situation.
I haven't seen the deal but I assume that it's similar to Manning's contract. He'll get a huge lump sum when he passes a physical.

I gotcha, I was starting to deviate a bit from the mock draft to what I'd actually like to see in the event of this scenario really playing out. I've got no problem with leaving trades out of this mock.

This will not happen, I guaransheed it. Staff is clearly in love with Anash and very comfortable with Bill Bentley opposite Chris Houston and Greenwood/Green rotating in at the nickel. Kas is thinking only with what he believes the team needs, not what is likely to happen with Mayhew and Schwartz at the helm. But whatevs, just a mock anyway
That's what everyone should be doing. I care what you think they should do, not what you think Mayhew thinks they should do

If both tackles are gone, take Warmack or trade back, personally. I would be more comfortable with Anash over Millner, too. Cool thing about the new rookie cap is that taking a guard in the top 10 isn't out of the question anymore because you won't have to justify paying a rookie guard $10-$19 Million a year. But again, I digress

You have made a very wise decision.
Well if the Jets are rebuilding, and they are, and Rex is only the coach because Woody doesn't want to pay 2 GMs and 2 Head coaches at the same time, it makes sense to trade away one elite player who you would have to pay QB money in order to get possibly 2-3 really good players on O and D including possibly a new QB of the future.
I don't see the benefit of keeping him. Jets aren't going anywhere this year until unless Sanchez completely changes over night and becomes a good competent QB. And even if he did they have no skill position players. They need a severe upgrade at WR and RB. They need to also improve the OLINE.
Pass D was even without Revis actually really good whereas they need help up front.
How much cap space did they clear up by trading him?
If the Jets can get two players like Austin/Eifert and Werner/Mingo in exchange for Revis, I think its a fantastic move.
Also what's with the hyperbole about him now on ESPN and NFLN. Yes he is the best CB in the game and arguably best defensive player in the league though I'd take Watt. But on NFL AM some beat writer claims "quite possibly one of the greatest corners to ever play in history". Um a little early for that no?
Lets see how he comes back from his ACL, how he fits into a new defense, system, and whether he was helped by playing for Rex. But right now its a win win for both teams.
Make sure you register and get the free game. If you didn't buy your XL from Target, see if they'll price match Target 179.99.
If you never had a DS then the system becomes 2x as awesome.
Also don't blame us for you being poor. Either take the blame yourself or blame that black muslim you elected as President. Those are your only options outside of moving to Europe or Canada.
Thats the key word here. Possibly. And if you are going to rebuild Revis is still young it would have been easier to rebuild around him. And why rebuild on offense when you are going to have to play Sanchez because of the horrible deal they gave him?
There is no defense for the Jets. They have no fucking clue as to what they are doing.
I normally would feel bad for them, but they betrayed Tebow. So fuck them. I hope they strike out on every draft pick and don't win another game for the next 2 years.
Great 2 games to start with.
I don't know why I am doubting you guys, but for some reason I am very skeptical of Luigi.
If they have a demo I might try that first.
I liked the GC game, but it was so short and the gameplay only got really good at the very end. I remember the graphics being awesome on it though.

Register the system/ mansion and get 3d land asap.
First of all Tannebaum (sp?) fucked the team up royally. Horrible contracts for no reason to Sanchez, Holmes, and even the stipulation for Revis that they couldn't franchise tag him. I think he fell for the words of Rex and thought by now they would have won 2-3 rings. Quite possibly the worst GM in recent sports history.
So because of those contracts and the players value in the market, the only guy you could move was Revis. Sanchez's cap hit this year would be too much to get rid of him. And you can still give him one year to turn it around considering all the other positions on offense I mentioned that they don't have talent at. It also doesn't help that there is no LUCK/RG3 in this year's draft for them to even eat Sanchez's salary and just move on.
They couldn't fire Rex because they are already paying two GMs and would have to pay a new coach and Rex. So basically this season is for the new GM to clean up the mess as much as possible, while both Sanchez and Rex have 1 final year to turn it around or they both are out next off season.
Revis was the only one they could move. And when you have needs and gaping holes at 5-6 different positions what's the point of keeping an elite CB who you have to pay QB money at $16 million a year. They already have a good secondary to which they can add even in the third round this year since this draft is deep in those rounds for quality secondary players.
And I am super glad this happened. Week 1 game should be epic, esp the pick 6 he returns.

Best browns thing Mchay ever said, "cleveland should trade down to 12 grab a 2nd and grab Eifert" would not be opposed this this. Would love it probably.

Poorer, but happier.
I price-matched at Best Buy. There was only one copy of Luigi's Mansion left in the OKC metro, so it's waiting for me at a Best Buy 10 miles away. I'll be registering it as soon as I pick it up to get 3D Land.
Enjoying it so far. Fire Emblem is pretty badass, even though I'm not much of a JRPG/strategy guy.
I for one am excited for this fan created mock up based on the beat writer that got to see them already.
Is this true? I haven't seen him on here at all.
Telling you man, Gaming side is hella bias. I get better advice from NFL-Gaf, Steam Gaf and NBA Gaf.
If you guys start allowing trades now, it would kind of suck for the other teams that would of most likely traded, like the Lions no?
Gaming side is getting a little crazy with the console wars going on.
Also Barkley sort of take shots at Kiffin

It's hard to get a good feel for how they would look in real life because of how stylized that mock-up is. I think that's a grey color instead of white? I'm definitely not a fan of that.
And why are you talking to me anyway? I thought I was dead to you?
It is weird to say this as a Mac whore, but win7 is nice.
The computer they gave me at work is a piece of shit, but it is still good enough for what I do here and I am loving the 27" widescreen monitor.
I think when I replace our aging mini I might get a small PC for home. I was thinking of an iMac, but now that they don't have a disk drive it might be nice to get a average gaming PC for the home. Especially seeing how fucking cheap they are.
Still sticking with Apple for laptops. The Air is just perfect.
