I'm a happy guy.

If you weren't always predicting against the team, I might pay more heed to what you're saying. But man, I just refuse to step in the turds you're dropping. At some point, especially in the off season, you've got to give yourself a chance to hope.

Nah, 10 wins this coming season. NFCSouth crown a second time, modest run in the playoffs. Tampa Bay is going to crumble. New Orleans is a couple of years behind us on the rebuild, but they've got a good young QB. Atlanta is a rumbling wreck.

Bet the over.

Anything that causes turbulence for the Patriots...

I'm not crying at all if this ends up being our first two picks. We need to get that defense to the next level.

I used to watch him daily on Good Morning Football before he moved over to ESPN. And yeah, he seemed to be pretty nice to us, but he honestly was pretty positive to each team as a whole, just pointing out individual situations when they arose. Smart broadcaster/pundit there. Never burns the bridges, just keeps the conversations rolling. Man, I wish we could just skip to the draft, yanno?

But I don't wanna.

I wouldn't cry over the pick, could work out well. I just see a crowded TE room that is already underutilized and some glaring needs elsewhere. But hey, what do I know? I wonder if the picks had been in reversed order and Jeremiah had picked (he has a North Carolina/App State background) would his better knowledge of Carolina have made a difference? Schrager has a great football mind, but we're such a minor league team to him I'm not sure if he knows or cares about our nuances.

I agree wholeheartedly. Now if this guy has the skillset and the mindset to be a Center... then having a road grader type guy there is definitely something we can work with.

While I want to see an MLB in that mix, if it went this way, I wouldn't be sad. One thing about that Tackle out of Clemson... he's had years to get used to the heat he'll be working in during training camp and the first of the season. That's not a minor thing. Also, high football IQ is always a plus (and we find that in the TE prospect, too... who I'm liking more and more.) Guard in the third? Sounds like a good one, but I wish that somewhere it said he could play Center as well. That'd sell me.

New video is up. Brutal and I think it was a case of self defense.

Yeah, there's a lot not being said about our OTs right now, just picking up a starter-quality in Free Agency spoke volumes, since we haven't done that in years. Still... maybe we get lucky and we have three active quality tackles moving into next season. Big guys all have normal-sized knees, though and those ligaments and menisci are just as vulnerable to them as they are to you and me. Gosh, I really wanted that Jag, too.

Whew. Lot of Alabama...

Like I said, I'm not all fired up about going OT in the first, but like picking the minivan at the car lot when you have four kids to haul around rather than the two-seater Jaguar... sometimes you've got to cover home base first. And sadly, I just don't think we can swing for a late-round OT with upside. If there are top notch big men available when we pick, then take one and move on. We might not have time to grow our own, yanno? And yeah, LB in the second. If not, we riot.
