This got me thinking, I wonder how much is left of Ireland's draft picks?
2008: 0 players
2009: 1 player: Brian Hartline
2010: 3 players: Jared Odrick, Koa Misi, Reshad Jones (pretty solid draft actually)
2011: 3 players: Mike Pouncey, Charles Clay, Jimmy Wilson (again, not bad)
2012: 4 players: Ryan Tannehill, Olivier Vernon, Lamar Miller, Rishard Matthews
2013: 8 players: Dion Jordan, Jamar Taylor, Dallas Thomas, Will Davis, Jelani Jenkins, Dion Sims, Caleb Sturgis, Don Jones
Honestly it's not all that bad. Ireland was kind of a mediocre drafter I'd say, but his biggest weaknesses were drafting effective offensive linemen and making smart decisions regarding FA and player contracts.
I'm glad Hickey looks to be giving the o-line the attention it deserves (and needs).
GM should be fired for never using one of those draft picks on a QB.

Why is green bay so high in teams players don't want to play for? The others make sense but what's bad about there?
It's not just one year or one draft. They've been treading water for years waiting for Bradford to develop, and no one ever considered a plan b. It's ludicrous.
It's in Buttfuck, Wisconsin. Sure, you can fly in-and-out during the week, but you still have to live there for at least 3 days a week.
lol at a team allowing that

Yeah, that's what I figured. There has to be worse places though no? The others are just sucky teams.

They could just spend their free time at Bean Snapper, it's not too far of a drive.

My biggest problem with him was the stupid amount of money he spent on the oline only for it to fail and then he just didn't bother addressing it after, especially after getting tannehill well that and trading UP for thomas....idiot.

Wow. I am not even typically into blondes but that girl is incredible.
Interestingly enough, this seems to be a "haul" video. I'm in the process of coding a startup based around this concept.

Yeah, true. I am glad he is gone and Hickey already seems like a smart replacement. Way too early to tell of course but early signs are positive.
Himynameischris

Yeah and if the FA pick ups this year work out I'll like him even more, what do you think about the LBs experiment?
The_Darkest_Red

I'm not really sold on the personnel but I like the thinking behind it. I think Ellerbee made it pretty clear last season that he isn't cut out to be a MLB in a 4-3 so moving him to the outside should increase his effectiveness. I don't really know what to think of Misi at MLB to be honest. Seems like a temporary solution at best as he's not great in coverage.
I think the run defense will be improved this season but I don't know about pass d. I still see the Dolphins struggling to cover TE's and RB's. Wheeler looked like an idiot trying to tackle Murray in space on one play Saturday.

I still have no clue how the hell he is even draft eligible jnc
We finally moved on from Feely at kicker, I'll always remember fondly the game where he single handily outscored the entire other team (I want to say it was Denver). Too bad Lindley didn't play well enough for us to trade him for a late pick. Only reason he got any time over Thomas but the guy blew. Logan Thomas future in 2016!

How has Thomas looked so far this preseason? I was always extremely critical of him at VT and I never thought he had much of a future in the NFL but I'd love for him to prove me wrong.

Remember how awful the AFC East was going to be? It's going to be even worse
@KimJonesSports
NYJ: John Idzik says CB Dimitri Patterson has been suspended indefinitely & team will "gather more information on what led to his behavior."
To recap, 2 of the top 3 CBs on the Jets are hurt. And the third has gone AWOL and is being punished by the team with an indefinite suspension. The team has exactly 2 CBs left, both really bad, but somebody's gotta start Week 1.

Yeah, it was pretty stupid on their part. They never even tried to push him, like they were afraid to offend him or something.

What in the world is going on with Patterson? So weird...
Don't worry about the AFC East, Dolphins and Pats have it under control.
A friend of mine was at a Halloween party in Minneapolis, and at least three Vikings players (Jared Allen included) showed up. This was on a Saturday, and they played the next day in Philly.
So, whatever. It could just be Childress having no balls, but it at least happens.
meanwhile the Jets have 20 million dollars of cap room left
Yeah surprised they didn't try to get in on one of those CBs.
I don't believe this story, unless they were injured.

It's especially stupid because Patterson is a huge risk as it is with his health issues. He was supposed to be the no. 2 corner all year for the Dolphins last season but he barely saw the field. The guy just couldn't stay healthy.
The only reason she told us the story is because she was bewildered by it as a die-hard Vikings fan.
Allen played the next day. I think they won that game.

They made an offer to DRC but he picked the Giants.
I believe she told you that story.
Oh right! Forgot about that.
We'll see. Even with their offensive additions I'll be curious to see how Geno does.

Tebow got drafted in our League as well. Same with Garoppolo.
We are the premier league.

Good thing we don't have relegation or I might be in trouble this year.
First lets just look at black players. Many of them are going to want to be around other black people (especially women). That is impossible in Wisconsin. The only black people in Wisconsin play for a professional sports team. So if you don't like your teammates or the guys on the Brewers or Bucks you are fucked when it comes to a social life.
Now lets look at the average NFL player. They are young, reckless and want to have a good time. That usually involves night clubs or attractive women. WI has neither.
Now lets look at the weather and food. It snows 12 months a year there. As far as food, there are 20 different kinds of cheese and all the Natty Ice a man can stomach, but not much for you if you don't like cheese or shitty beer. Wisconsin contributed one thing to popular culture, Laverne and fucking Shirley. That was the high point for the state.
What is so hard to understand about why players or the average human being would not want to live there?

NFL fantasy just isn't the same without Tebow and Favre.

He looked phenomenal in the first game against the Texans, better than he had all training camp actually with a perfect completion rate and went right down the field and scored a TD. He then didn't play in the second game as we played Lindley hoping he'd play well enough to be trade bait (he didn't). Last night Thomas finally played again for just the 4th quarter and he reverted back to looking raw but he had poor protection too. The thing about Thomas is he has the benefit of being a project and doesn't have to be ready yet. I trust Arians and Tom Moore's eye and if they think they can fix him and that it's largely issues with his footing which is correctable, I'll have faith that in two years he can be our guy. Palmer will stay the course in the meantime.

Yeah, he is definitely a project type guy. As far as raw physical talent he definitely has it, he's cut from the same mold as a guy like Ben Roethlisberger in terms of size, strength, and arm strength. The problem is none of that ever translated very well to playing QB in college. His accuracy has always been wildly inconsistent and he struggles with decision making, on top of quite a few other issues.
I guess the hope is that his flaws are more of a product of bad QB coaching at VT (very possible) than his natural skill ceiling. It'll be interesting to see where he ends up.
