NFL Offseason
- Thread starter Brown Notes
- Start date
No, I'm a Colts fan. I'm fine with Williams getting suspended for life. I don't even care too much about Payton being made an example of, though I've seen worse in the NFL and suspensions being less. It's the draft picks that bothers me.
I don't see much of a difference in the end result. Plus not all "moments" are created equal. Haynsworth tried to end a man's career with his moment.
This is a clean play. Warner was running towards the player with the ball. That makes him fair game. The Saints' player's head was in front of Warner's. If the QB is acting like he's going to try to make a play, he'd better have his head on a swivel. If he doesn't want to get hit, he needs to stay out of the play.
I'll give you the fact that the other two were dirty.

With the Draft coming up I thought some of you would like this, the Mock Draft Muncher.

Basically they take a bunch of mocks, track and combine them with a trend chart for each pick. Great way to waste time with pointless speculation.

I'm shocked nobody commented on Demeco Ryans to the Eagles. That has got to be the coup of the off-season. I am not going to say the Eagles are going to do this or that because their division is tough and I'm not big on making predictions with them because hell, they've never really won anything and it's still the Pack's conference to lose imo even without going to Super Bowl last year. But the Eagles linebackers were their weak spot and they just went went from a D to an A- at MLB. And if we can have a good draft and get a really good upgrade at olb, our young safeties develop (they shouldn't regress) and we play with better chemistry, passion and hunger (I think we will), I like our chances to make some noise. This Saints situation obviously really helps them, and I think the Pack, as good as they are may be just as mediocre on defense this year but only time will tell.

T Rich destroyed Browns RB coach on his pro day.

That dude is strong, strong. I'm about 90% in on taking this guy at 4.

Draft is a day and a half away.
BN's predictions:
Top 5: Luck, RG3, Kalil, Richardson, Claiborne.
round out the 10:
6 StL: Blackmon WR OKSt. The Rams will probably want to trade down or up but if they are stuck this is their guy.
7 Jax: Reiff LT Iowa These guys want to trade down bad. If no takers take the tackle.
8 Mia: Cox DT Miss St. Whoops bye Tanny. All hype no bite. He will slide at least to the 20s.
9 Car: Gilmore CB SC. Need. This pick could go a lot of ways. Ingram, Upshaw, Floyd or Brockers could look good for them.
10 Buf Kuechly LB BC. Total Buffalo pick. This guy screams awesome LB and will replace a very good one.

There is no way Miami goes DT. They just locked up Solia and have a few other capable guys in the DT rotation. The only way they pass on Tannehill is for a pass rushing DE like Couples, or if Blackmon somehow slides to them.

Just my two cents. There has been some talk of the Vikings trading out of the 3rd pick to take a Corner possibly with Miami or Tampa Bay's picks. I'm of the position that the Vikes take Kalil at #3 and be happy the have a cornerstone O-lineman to help Adrian Peterson's recovery and Christian Ponder's development.

Maybe I got Miami wrong. I really doubt they take Tannehil here though. If the Fins don't take him it looks like a big time slide, back to where he was 2 months ago and where he belongs.
IMO they would rather trade down there, as would the Jags. Doubt anybody trades up for the guys in their spots though. Minny is not going to take peanuts for that pick and nobody will overpay for a RB or Kalil. Claiborne is a possibility for a trade there. Really the obvious move is to just take the franchise LT. Can't blame them for trying to drum up a huge payday though.
I doubt Cleveland cares what Minny does. They will have either Claiborne or Richardson available, or both, and both are superb prospects. I prefer Trent.
