Who has won the Super Bowl because of the SS? SS is not an impact position...come on people.

Were you a Panthers fan during Mike Minter's career? If you were, you probably remember John Lynch in TB too. Happen to watch any Steelers games during the Polamalu era? Old timer Broncos fans out here in CO still rave about Steven Atwater. Darren Woodson? Rodney Harrison?

I don't get these "so and so position isn't an impact position" arguments. Virtually any position can potentially be an impact position if you have the right guy there.

Or the wrong guy.

I hope we nab a guy in rounds 1-3...but Robert Blanton seems like a DG FA signing that I'd totally back.  

SS: J. Adams-Blanton

FS: Coleman-Marlowe

Surprised nobody had mentioned Blanton with him being a hometown kid. I think he can be had for very cheap.

Your depth chart there looks awesome, however that means in free agency you would sign Blanton (who wouldn't be a great starter) and get lucky with Jamal Adams falling to us.

I don't think Adams will be there. That means I would go after a better free agent SS. Give me Swearinger!

Thanks for re-mentioning Blanton.  Mid to late 20s S with a decent track record and a hometown kid.  Seems like a decent possibility.

Adams is way top tier and I can easily see him being gone but I'm cool with the likes of Budda or Obi in Round 2.  Jabrill could realistically fall to 40 as well.  Also--People are looking at size at so many positions but I think Budda Baker is going to be one of the best prospects to come out of this class that's not a widely praised top 10-15 type.  

Regarding Obi--If Jaquiski Tartt (49ers) Miles Killebrew (Lions) can come in and make as strong of an impact as they did, I'm all over Obi.

      ESPN's All Quarter Century Team 2000-2025

      The era that you played in, and, more importantly, who you played with actually matters. Honestly, that's why these issues will be debated forever, as it's just difficult to say that this person or that person is better when you're discussing the passage of time. As for me, after Rice, Moss and maybe Megatron and T.O., there's probably a dozen or so guys that can be argued about to the cows come home. Personally, I'm not putting Fitz, Harrison, Johnson, Evans, or especially D-Hop, Jefferson, Chase or Hill definitely in front of Smitty (and Colston ain't even in the discussion). Context and all that stuff actually matters. Things like the triple crown matter.

      Some of those guys? Yeah honestly you can.  I would 100% take Steve Smith over Larry Fitzgerald, Harrison, even Mike Evans. He is 100% a better player than those guys in his prime. If you look at the numbers Smith is historically under targeted in comparison to his contemporaries. He was only targeted 150 times or more only once in his career. Fitzgerald for example was targeted well above that 9 different seasons. Had Smith played with Peyton, Brady, Greatest Show on Turf, or even with Warner in Arizona he would broken records. His 2008 season was ridiculous accumulating 1400 yards in 13 games on less than 80 receptions. All time he also lost a season due to injury in 04, barely played WR as a rookie. Got robbed of 1k season with Clausen. Thats easily another 1800yds minimum that should have been tacked on to his #s. The only guys I’d say for certain are better than Smith are Rice, Moss, TO, Megatron, Julio Jones, Antonio Brown.

      So where can I find out tailgating parking spots for the season?

      By toldozer · Posted

      I parked in this lot a few times. It would take over and hour to get out of that lot after games. Never again
