Was Geno the only guy left in the green room not picked?

As fun as it is to rip on my team, let's break down the QB picture here.
There were 4 QBs in this class that rated as "decent".
- One of them has arm-strength concerns, is coming off a separated shoulder and has never played in cold weather before.
- One of them took his ball and went home to pout after not getting drafted in the 1st round.
- One of them his own former coach of 4 years (3 years as a starter) didn't want.
- We got the 4th guy. And a couple extra draft picks in the bargain.
......fuck......you......Dutch.......Pats fans are the worst of the worst.
That being said, my PSP has CFW on it and has the following games loaded: Final Fantasy Tactics, Tactics Ogre, Valkyrie Profile: Lenneth, Jeanne D'Arc, Valkyria Chronicles 2, Kingdom Hearts: Birth by Sleep, Megaman Hunter X, and Megaman Powered Up. I have Ultimate Ghouls and Ghost somewhere, but WHERE TO START NFL GAF?! Leaning towards Valkyria Chronicles 2 but probably could use some different after blowing through Valkyria Chronicles 1.

Maybe but he still handled the situation poorly. Being upset/sad is natural, nothing wrong with that (see: Aaron Rodgers when he fell into the late first round). But Geno looked fucking defeated. I wouldn't want that imagine on my team, I'd rather have a mad, defiant guy in the green room putting each team that rejected him on his shit list.
I like the Richardson pick but I wanted Austin. instead of Miller.
What could you be possibly doing more important than the NFL draft?

Fox, Squicken to the Vikings. Were on the rebound!
Tactics is the second-best game ever, so I would play that if I were in that situation.

The guy they got has area code accuracy, forces throws into coverage, and only looks at half the field. The Bills put need before brains with that pick. Just because you have a QB need doesn't mean you throw draft value out the window and take a QB with only a "decent" grade in the first round. They should have filled a different need there, perhaps take a developmental QB later, and hope that next years QB class is better and try and strike then.

I won't argue with you there, either. I was sort of hoping for that. Wanted the team to tank it and go 0-16. Pillage next year's draft class.
But that's just not the Buffalo Bills way. They're not smart like the Colts.
Perhaps that could have been an option had they ridden Chan and Fitz into the ground for another year.
Tactics Ogre or Final Fantasy Tactics? Regardless; they're both second to Valkyria Chronicles on PS3. PSP with CFW is pretty awesome, native PSX emulation and awesome PSP JRPGs.
FFT. Didn't even register in my head that Tactics could also refer to Tactics Ogre, I've always called FFT just "Tactics".

So how fall does Geno plummet now?
The Raiders were taking Hayden at 3 if they couldn't have traded down. He was their guy, no matter what

Not too far I don't think. He will probably be gone in the first half on the second round

You prefer Matt Flynn over Geno? Geno in the mid second seems like good value to me.
Plus, I just said I hoped that your guy,Hayden, succeeds. WHAT MORE DO YOU WANT FROM MEEEEEE

Wouldn't be shocked if the Eagles or Jets took him early

Geno isn't really a read/option guy is he? Because he's a black QB, that doesn't necessary makes him a running QB.

When I've been watching some of the pre-draft stuff, they always mentioned him in the same breath as the others. I don't watch College football and just go off of the articles and crap I indulge in leading up to the draft. But I thought he was viewed as a dual-threat QB.
If I'm just regurgitating misinformation, than I'm in the wrong.

It's clear you're a racist.
In all seriousness, reading about him, Geno is mostly about passing, he's somewhat athletic, he can run for a first if the oppurtunity presents itself, but he's a pass first guy. He doesn't come close to having the speed/running skills of a RGIII/Kaep.

Don't forget the Phins trading up to 3rd to take Jordan, when they needed to replace Long...
Racist.

we'll see next year, he didn't do bad his first year.
Like the Richardson pick, guarantees we have a good DL at least- no JAGS on that line anymore definitely.

I've been thinking about this a lot since last night and I'm still not sure how to feel.
First of all, Jordan is an OLB who played in a 3-4 system, and now he'll presumably be asked to play the DE role in Miami's 4-3 (Miami retained Kevin Coyle, last year's defensive coordinator so I'm assuming they keep the 4-3). I don't know a lot about Jordan and obviously the Dolphins don't see this as an issue but at best it seems a little risky to me for the third overall pick in the draft.
The other thing is, Jordan will be lining up across from Cam Wake who had size questions when he came to Miami (he's 6'3" 258 lbs), but Cam's got 10 pounds on Jordan (plus Jordan is 6'6"). I wouldn't be surprised if Jordan takes on a third down pass rushing role during his first season, because there have to be questions about him playing every down as a 4-3 DE. I'd like to hear more opinions on this though since I don't really know a lot about the guy besides that.
One other thing, this pick basically confirmed another draft failure for Ireland, Jared Odrick in the first round in 2010. Odrick played decently last year but tailed off towards the end and never really developed into the pass rusher that the Phins wanted, and it looks like they're already preparing to write him off if the Jordan pick is any indication.
And there are still so many positions that seem like bigger needs to me. CB and OT are the most glaring. Was it really worth giving up a second round pick for this?
I hope Ireland knows what he's doing.
Syrcause alum maybe? I don't know, maybe she was just excited to be on TV. NFLN was showing her a ton for some reason. Maybe because she's a 10 compared to the rest of monsters that were in the crowd.
