Hope vs. Reality

[Icege]

While plenty of you have verbally abused one another about what you think is best for the team, have you ever considered a different outcome?

What are your hopes for this draft, if there are any? Are you hoping that a specific player is drafted (ie: Cam Newton), a particular position is drafted (ie: TE), or that somebody isn't drafted (ie: trade down)? What do you think will really happen? Do you think the team will make the decisions you've hoped for, or do you think they'll go in a completely different direction?

Are any of you so confident about what you think will happen, that you're willing to make a friendly wager? I could see hilarity ensuing :willy_nilly:

I hope we set a foundation that eventually leads to a Super Bowl. No matter who we pick. I have my opinions on who that should be. But at the end of the day, I just hope that this draft is the beginning of a brighter tomorrow.

Wow dude this is me down to the last word!

Oops. I forgot to say Cam Newton in my first post.

Forgive me. I don't think the thread would have even been posted otherwise *fixes*

I hope we fill some of the holes this team has via FA or the Draft and the moves pan out.

Just think we have to address the most important position, at some point. Tom Bradys just don't grow on trees in late rounds...

What we have done really is not working, rule changes, the NFL wanting scoring for excitement...leads to offense. The longer a team waits, the longer it takes to get that franchise QB, up and running. I preferred Luck, AJ my second choice, then Cam.

QB because we NEED it, AJ because the guy just maybe special.

RR is a defense guy, think he has confidence in himself, to take what he has and keep them in the top 10. The offense needs some serious work at skill positions. Think he sees the overall picture, not the "right now" mentality.

I hope we can find a gem at DT in the third or Hurney trade the 3rd and 4th for a 2nd

Im starting to like AJ ahead of Dareus now and Peterson is 4th

DT, CB and OL, outside of that I don't care- with the exception of Newton and Mallet, don't want either.

Phil Taylor from Baylor! That dude is massive!

[JawnyBlaze]

I hope we draft Newton because it will sell tickets and that's all Richardson cares about.

We don't have a chance at getting Taylor in the third, he'll be long gone.

LOL, wow, what a simple view. The guy has the most potential, though not the "safest pick". Course, the people that don't pay the bills always have a high and mighty view. They are doing their due diligence on him, multiple interviews, etc. This is the most important position and a big need...
