If Rivera is hte guy, how do you feel about the #1 pick?

does this make drafting a DT or DE a little easier to deal with since he has a good track record for making a defense exceptional?

or do we try and fix the most obvious weakness on the team and get the offense back on track?

i wonder if any part of his negotiations would involve him getting to draft his guy with the 1st pick (even if we get to trade down a few spots).

thoughts?

Jerry said it - they need to score more points and generate more excitement. I hope he wasn't thinking defensive scores. lol

True. somehow i get the feeling that JR will be looking over everyone's shoulder during this draft. i doubt anything crazy happens without his blessing this year.

that being said, i am still interested in who they may be able to trade down with and still get a good value in the first rd. the only guy i think they take at #1 would be Green or Fairley.

Instant success plan for Rivera.

Step 1. Hire Josh McDaniels as your Offensive Coordinator

Step 2. Sign Deangelo Williams, Thomas Davis, and Charles Johnson

Step 3. Sign Kyle Orton

Step 4. Sign best available free agent offensive guard

Step 4a. If guard is not the play, make an offer at Aso. He, Gamble, and Munnerlyn would be a great Defensive backfield. I think you will see Rivera get more out of Martin and Godfrey next year as well.

Step 5. Draft best available Defensive player (Fairley, Dareus, Prince, Peterson....I trust Rivera to get a player that he can be successful with)

Day 1 starter at QB: Kyle Orton

Day 1 starter at WR's: Smith, Lafell (Gettis, Edwards, and cheap vet)

Day 1 starter at RB: Deangelo Williams, Stewart backing him up

O-Line Starters: Otah, FA, Kalil, Wharton, Gross

D-Line Starters: C. Johnson, N. Fairley(Vet), Landri, Hardy

LB Starters: Davis, Beason, ???? (I don't think we will match what Anderson will want)

DB Starters: Gamble, Godfrey, Martin, Munnerlyn (possibly Aso)

Nickle Back: Munnerlyn or (Peterson, Prince)

    • Yep, like I said, I don't mind guaranteeing them money, but make the contracts smaller amounts in order to minimize cap implications. I don't know about "half," the actual amounts, whether more or less than half, would have to be determined by the NFL and NFLPA (which will probably be highly contentious, if not "impossible").  I'm just for whatever leads to the best product on the field while also unaffecting my wallet. As an aside, the NFL owners are greedy bastards in my estimation. They're trying to keep a larger portion of the pie, but players' agents are greedy as well, and they've sewn seeds of greed among the players. It's not all their fault; we all know what our society has evolved into, but the NFL wants a bigger piece of our smaller pocketbooks and refuses to "negotiate" with us (that's why we don't have cheaper and more reasonable à la carte options to view games that they're gradually trying to migrate to paid TV), so fu<k 'em. And then on top of that we have guys trying to water down the product even more by feeding greed. Change the way things are done so that we can at least see players prove themselves on the field without throwing wrenches into the engine that pays guys that have proven they can play on a pro level.
    • So if one of the parents wants to buy the theatre group or the band lunch they should get banned?
    • OK, I didn't realize this was about high school, but...if I'm spending my personal money trying to help some kids out, then no one is going to tell me how to spend my money. I get enough of the government spending my money--allocating my tax dollars--to children who don't really need anything, and now they're trying to tell me how to spend my personal money? Sure, there are many other issues to consider and rabbit holes that we could go down due to ethical concerns because it concerns kids, and the need for transparency is extremely important, but maybe as opposed to trying to stop kids from benefitting in darkness, we need to open up the blinds (and blinders) a little bit so that they can benefit in the light. I get where you're coming from, but this is a loaded and layered issue, and I'm just trying to give you some food for thought.
