ohh nooo i cant believe we didnt get a bust that got benched by the seahawks, ohhhh what will we do??

If you remove the #4 overall pick label from the equation, is better than anything we have at LB now except for Anderson. Our inability to get sideline to sideline b/c of lack of athleticism at the LB spot (again, except for Anderson) has been killing us.

That's why we should've made the move.

While Hurney has gotten some awesome late round gems - Hardy, for one... You probably aren't going to find a LB with Curry's athleticism in the corresponding round that we would give up in a trade. It was worth it IMO.

Who cares? Curry doesn't get us a playoff spot. Why bother wasting the picks?

Thats pretty much the exact deal i said the panthers should have offered, just a 6th this year, with a pick next year possibly based on production. Call me crazy, but if Aaron Curry went to the pro bowl, or ended up with 100 tackles next year, you wouldnt be willing to give up a 6th and 4th for him? I sure as hell would.

very interesting.

would be great to pick him up (restructured, of course) and stephen cooper. LBs need all the help they can get.

I thought I read the Chargers put Cooper on IR, then I read on here the Chargers were releasing him. Just curious what the situation is there?

Greg Hardy is better than Curry and we got him late. In fact, most players are better than Curry. Quit acting like we missed out on a pro-bowler.

I'm not. I'm acting like we missed out on a player that could help us at a position that we're losing players by the day at.

And I already know Hardy is a beast, but we've blown much higher picks on much less. A 7th and a 5th wouldn't be a horrible deal for a guy that could end up being your starter for years to come.

      Taking only players from the sheet that are realistically available in or after the listed round, I’d like… 1st: DT Caleb Banks (Styles not realistic) 2nd: LB Jacob Rodriguez 3rd: OT Best available from Bowry, Barber, and Casey 4th: CB Daylen Everette 5th: S Jalen Huskey 6th: RB Adam Randall 7th: IOL Best available from Lemieux, Dawkins, Leausa, and Brose   I know nothing about some of the players listed, but it seems like that would be the best way it could fall for now. I’m sure the list of who we meet will change a ton, and there will also be players we don’t meet with to keep quiet. I’d love to pick up Randall in the late rounds.

      Tight End: The Need is Bigger than We Think

      Not what I said. They know within the building why we aren't utilizing TEs more. If the rumors were true that we were seriously pursuing a couple of decent receiving TEs that strongly points toward a lack of quality receiving TEs currently on the roster. Does that mean we consider drafting one at 19? I don't know, but it wouldn't shock me and if we did there's only one guy it would be. I wouldn't be surprised at all to see TE drafting somewhere in the first three rounds.

      Yeah, I don’t know. Tepper was behind the Bryce selection. Behind firings and hiring over his lack of development.  He doesn’t have to literally tell them their hands are tied for them to know this. It is in the air constantly. The Canales Bryce play calling was even portrayed by more than one person as Canales failing Bryce, instead of Bryce being responsible for his own performance (except when he does well, then it is all him). Now they have an extra coach in, to help the new OC get results from this QB.  The atmosphere is not welcoming to prototypical young QBs that have talent. You get Jake Plummer types or old vets. I think we are stuck.
