Best part(s) were...

With the 12th pick of the 2013 NFL draft the Oakland Raiders select....DJ Hayden, cornerback, Houston.

With the 13th pick of the 2013 NFL Draft the New York Jets select...Sheldon Richardson, defensive tackle, Missouri.

I screamed haha. But honestly I think Vacarro was a good pick for New Orleans, had Star and Sharrif been taken, Vacarro was my pick for us.

That is far from a haha pick. They got the best coverage CB in the entire Draft and picked up extra picks. As long as they're confident his heart injury won't be a lingering problem that is right where he should have gone, and a huge pickup at a big area of need. So again, how is it a haha pick?

first where did I say it was a haha pick? it did fill a need for them. it was more the fact that I totally expected them to take Floyd or Star because most mocks had them taking Floyd at #3. I definitely was not expecting the pick to be Hayden. I said that was the best part because it allowed us to get Star...

My bad misread. I thought the "I screamed haha" was because you thought the Hayden and Richardson picks were bad picks. I got you now!

      The running back situation....

      By strato · Posted

      okay I found this and it sounds like my hopes for the first surgery being not such a great job seems like it could be actual reality.  I only hoped because that would give a better chance for recovery and ia a possible scenario so I just thought it could be possible. Had no real evidence of it. But I’ll be damned.    This is a detailed report of Brooks’ surgery and the condition of his knee after the failed repair.     https://x.com/jmthrivept/status/2055743129408704806?s= Sparked by some very good questions by @CoachspeakIndex, here’s some info on Jonathon Brooks: 1. Speculation that the first graft/ACLR by Dr. Cooper didn’t “take” or at least was too lax, leading to failure and re-tear. Brooks dealt with issues cutting, progressing in his rehab into the early stages of 2024 and then re-tore it late 2024, requiring a second ACLR in January 2025 (essentially revision). Notably, CAR prolonged Brooks’ rehab process through Sept-Oct due to issues progressing into the next stages of rehab. 2. Second surgery performed by Dr. Neal ElAttrache, who has extensive experience with revisions. He did a double bundle technique, harvesting graft from Brooks’ left patellar tendon and a strip of his right IT Band (his right patellar tendon had been utilized for the prior graft in 2023. The double bundle technique significantly increases rotational stability of the knee, leading to a stronger and more secure graft/reconstruction. Also to note, Brooks’ surgery wasn’t significantly delayed, meaning that the tunnels from his prior ACLR were in good shape and they didn’t need to perform bone grafts to fill in (would have delayed 2nd surgery by 5-6 months). Essentially, reading the tea leaves tells me that everything else except for the graft itself was still in good quality within his knee. Good sign for future.  3. Typically, you see a performance increase anywhere from 16-20 months post-revision. Brooks will be ~21 months out from his second surgery by the time Week 1 hits. His knee should be more stable and stronger this time around, with adequate time for healing and return to all movement patterns. I’m not viewing this situation as a typical “Player __ had TWO ACL tears, he’s cooked” situation. Rather, I’m viewing it as the first procedure failed, but the second procedure is significantly stronger and should allow him to return to form this time around. I don’t know why it posted as a link but there it is.

      How can you say they aren’t trying to win now with all the moves made in free agency? Or is trading first round picks the only way to be win now? I’d be fine never trading another first round pick again, win now be damned.
