Yeah you definitely want a desktop for a gaming PC.
I made the mistake of buying a "gaming" laptop and while it was neat at first that thing weighed 10 pounds, was incredibly expensive, and was obsolete in a few years.
I know you don't have a lot of time for games but I'm sort of surprised you don't have some beast of a rig sitting around gathering dust already.

Definitely need some o line help. Cards QBs got slaughtered last year
ESPN and NFLN will not spoil picks and let the Commish make the announcement.

So now the story is Albert wants Jake Long money to come to the Phins. Hehe, we could of kept Long if that was the case. So Ireland is now playing the waiting game, he has been told what the team is willing to offer.
And I'm not buying Eifert at #12. A tight end that went up against the powerhouses of Purdue, Navy, Michigan State, BYU, Pittsburgh and Wake Forest doesn't seem to be worth it at #12. He got his game shut down when Millner covered him in the BCS game.

Two separate NFL scouts say Florida DT Sharrif Floyd is overrated, with one going so far as to call Floyd a media creation.
It's worth noting Floyd had only 4.5 sacks in three college seasons. He's been touted hard by Greg Cosell, Mike Mayock, and Daniel Jeremiah, among others. "Those idiots on TV made Floyd," said one scout. "He's not that good. He's not better than Ziggy Hood." Asked if the Warren Sapp comparisons are valid, another scout replied "No. There's none of that. (Sapp) was just was more gifted than Floyd. Floyd is a good effort player. He's got shorter arms than (Sheldon) Richardson, and I think it shows. He gets kind of Velcroed on blockers."

They're saying what I've been thinking. Floyd gets all the media hype for no apparent reason other than he's apart of the SEC.

I think the Cardinals should take Chance Warmack.
While their tackles need help, people are saying that Warmack could be an All-Pro level guard but the jury is still out on Lane Johnson as a tackle.

Not that I'm able to watch the first round, but this is a nice development. I hated how it became a competition to spoil the pick first.
Agreed. That's what twitter is for!
Don't think they are allowed to spoil the pick on twitter either.

If Lane Johnson is still on the board, that should be the Cardinals pick. Their tackles are far from great. Warmack would be a good selection but I'd go for the premium position if there's a player worth taking and I think Johnson is worth taking.
Can't say I diagree too much on Warmack though. Just to be clear.

Its the time thing.
I used to be big into PC games until I graduated from college. Though I was never into FPS, I was more into Civ, Warcraft, Lucasrts, etc. stuff.
I have pretty much been using laptops for the last 10+ years and not really played any PC games since. And I switched to Mac like 8 years ago. I can't go back until someone makes a better laptop experience. We have a shitty Mac Mini at home, but I just got that for guests to use so they don't fuck up my laptop.
I was just going to get a mid range gaming PC so that it was fast as fuck. I can't see myself spending that much time on Steam and the other stuff.

To be fair, that just sounds like a good start to improving things there.
rors doesn't care until you're trying to get the phone number of the smelly lady sitting next to you.
I'm on it as soon as I'm able to pick LM up.
I'm glad it's done for their staff on twitter too. Need to neutralise Schefter.

Hmm, I don't like the sound of that. Read this on The Daily Dolphin a few days back:
How much stock should I put in those PFF rankings?
And here are some more thoughts they posted today that attempt to show why Albert isn't wrong to ask for "Jake Long money":
So really, Albert may be worth "Jake Long money" more than Jake Long is.

I'm not a stat junkie outside of quarterbacks and skill players. Things can be more fluid and year to year with offensive linemen.
I think Cards go Lane Johnson if he's there, just for positional value. Warmack, or worst case Fluker, if not. Johnson is the pick
1)Chiefs--Joeckel
2)Jags--Fisher
3)Raiders--Star
4)Eagles--Dion Jordan
5)Lions--Dee Milliner
6)Browns--Sharrif Floyd
7)Cardinals--Lane Johnson
8)Bills--On the Clock

Hmm, reading LJ's long ass post in the other thread. I'm going to go with Mingo.
It'll probably easier for them to trade up from the second round into the late first round to pick up Nassib(important due to the 5 year deals first rounders get). Too many sellers not enough buyers.

Ryan Nassib to the Bills. Ralph Wilson wants to see a franchise quarterback before he dies, Nassib or Geno Smith won't be there when the Bills pick in round two, Nassib was coached by Doug Marrone at Syracuse. Bills would love to do something like the AJ Green, Andy Dalton double-up, but it's not worth of the risk of losing out on 'their guy'.
For a while now I've been thinking it'd be Geno Smith to the Bills, but he really did struggle in cold weather games, one of which happened to be against Syracuse. I don't know how Marrone could look at that game in the snow, in which Nassib outplayed Smith, and take Smith.

I say throw the baby out with the bath water, send a 1st, 2nd and 4th this year and move up to Detroits pick. And a conditional 5th next year. Albert wan'ts big money, skip that we can get his type of game from a rookie. we'll just give it to the future anchor. Just pick up Eric Winston as a FA and hope Martin holds up with Lane Johnsson living up to they hype.

Wildcard berths that can't beat teams without a winning record should have homefield advantage
YESYESYESYESYES
Last year's draft was more suspenseful than the previous 5 combined. So happy this is happening.
My only problem is when you get analysts "speculating" and you can tell they know exactly who it's going to be.
Edit: Oh, and I'm on board with Nassib to the Bills.
Edit 2:
Wow, this is really good news.
This is really tough. I think they need a QB and Nassib is the guy, but I think other teams will want him too. Just not this high. So they can get cute and try and move up from the 2nd, or they can just take him now. I think, if they really like him, you take him at 8. Just the way the roster is set up, I would draft Nassib at 8

Bills definitely need a QB. I know I've seen Austin mocked to them a few times too

Yeah, I think I'm with you on this. How about just a 1st and 2nd though, since the top 10 in this draft is pretty weak?
I'll be honest though, if the Phins did go through with the Albert deal I wouldn't mind seeing Eifert picked at 12. It probably wouldn't be the smartest move but it'd be exciting to have a guy like that on the team, and the thought of Tannehill having Wallace, Hartline/Gibson, Keller, and Eifert on the field at the same time is pretty nice.
If he's their guy they have to draft him there, I'm just very concerned about having a nfl head coach having his college qb as the qb of the team.

Again - what they WOULD do, or SHOULD do?
No way in hell SHOULD the Bills reach for Nassib with that high of a pick, IMO. They have a wealth of defensive holes to fill and desperately need a wide receiver across from Stevie.

It'd be sort of like Tannehill having Sherman as his offensive coordinator.
So is the latest that the Bills aren't very interested in Geno?
My ideal draft now would be Rhodes/Eifert/Cooper/Warmack at 11/12. A CB in the second if we didn't get one in the first, with a free safety in the third, Baccari Rambo is the one I like.
I actually think the Bills will go Austin here because they seem content to take either Barkley, Nassib or even Manuel and one of (if not all) will be available later at 41. Even if not, it's probably a blessing as you shouldn't waste a pick this high on a guy you aren't sold on.
Their defense got humiliated plenty last year but it seemed more a lack of effort than talent so I like them to go offense and as we said earlier, he's clearly the biggest playmaker around and he plays in the soft as butter AFC East so he won't take the same punishment as if he played in a mans conference.

I would love for them to just take a second and a 1st but that dumb Jimmy Johnson formula for trading pick values still applies. They will want a 4th as well. Especially Detroit at #5. I like Eifert, I really do, but name the last great player to come out of Notre Dame? At 12 he's not worth it. Id rather take a CB. Or trade down 5 picks and see if hes there at 17 overall.

I think Austin makes the most sense outside of a defensive piece, yeah.
I made it clear at the end of my post. They need a QB. Nassib is the guy. Don't get cute and miss out on the QB you want chasing value. If it was any other position, I would stay true to absolute BPA. But Kolb isn't a starting QB. They can't risk not getting Nassib
Outside of trades, the only teams that should take Austin are Buffalo and the Rams. But those two teams should take him if he is there in a heartbeat.

You think there's a corner out there worth picking up at 12? Dolphins don't seem too high on Rhodes, and 12 is probably a reach for Trufant, Taylor, or Hayden.
Don't you think the Jets take a look at Austin now since they have 2 high 1st round picks?
I don't get shit like this. You have talent and the physical abilities to play this game and you throw it away by being an idiot.
They're getting either one of Warmack and Cooper and a pass rusher.
