More Interesting Than Carolina's Draft...

There are several stories coming from the draft far more interesting than Carolina's picks....

Manti Te'o going #6 in the second round (38th overall) to San Diego. Apparently his draft stopk didn't drop too much considering his disappearance in the National Championship game. NFLN analysts called him an astute student and said he could read defenses at an NFL level.

Interesting comments considering the guy couldn't tell the difference between a male and female voice. He can read zone, run and pass plays but is easily fooled into falling in love with someone he never met? We're supposed to believe that? Regardless- this is an obvious ploy by the Chargers attempting to resurrect the next Junior Seau, regain some of its fan base and allow Te'o to play closer to home so Mommy and Daddy can take care of him.

The trainwreck that is the New York Jets drafting QB Geno Smith. David Garrard was signed about 6 weeks ago to a 1-year, $1.1M contract and "promised a chance to start," according to him. A year ago Mark Sanchez signed a 5-year, $58.25M contract with $20.5 guaranteed and he scheduled to make $8.25M this season. And let's not forget that guy The Golden Calf of Bristol, who is also under contract to the Jets and is scheduled to make a little over $2M this season.

One of the worst offenses in the league last year promises to get Sanchez more weapons to help him out after giving him the huge contract extension and what do they do? 2 picks in the top 13 and they take a CB and a DT, followed by the Geno Smith selection.

The Dallas Cowboys use their first round pick on a third round prospect, a center no less. As much as we hate Jerry Jones, I'm sure loving him as the General Manager for the last 20 years. Not only can he not spot NFL talent and has no clue how, who or what to draft and his ego is way too fugging huge to hire a real GM, as long as he's the guy calling the shots in Dallas.... 1 playoff win in the last 18 seasons.... 'nuff said.

Perfect.

I despise the Dallas Cowboys. But I do have a couple friends that say they pull for them. It's starting to get embarrassing. They have that same look as a woman who gets beaten at home. "Oh, it's ok... I deserved it." Jerry Jones is a disgrace to football. It's an absolute shame that this massive pile of poo gets to live out most of our dreams everyday and find new and creative ways to completely suck at it.

If I see one more dumb blonde standing on the beach in Hawaii talking about Teo, I will throw something through my TV.

Hope the morons at ESPN and NFLN, understand that most guys watching the draft at this point are hardcore football fans. If they want the Teo crap, they will tune into TMZ.

      Also hit the over.  Banking on Man City running up the score and Leeds getting a lucky strike.

      Tailed you.  Also Free Play, which is why the risk shows $0.00. Let me look at hoops and get back to you.  Always fade Hubert, haha.

      Hard to say right now, but good thinking.  I look at this as the info we need for free agency.  Looks like we are going to free up about $10m so far; watch to see if any contracts (Moehrig, Horn, Brown, etc) are reworked the first week of March.  Then after free agency, we will have a pretty good idea. Right now, to be fair to your question because I am sure you are aware of its timing: In free agency, I see us adding an OT of some sort and drafting one at some point.  It all depends on how they view Ickey, Nijman, and maybe BC.  That OT could be Nijman.  I do not see the future OT--just a stop gap. I see the Panthers signing a free-agent center.  I think the market is strong.  I see Fortner from the Saints as a prime candidate and his salary is estimated at $6m by Spotrac.  the Saints are $42m over the cap, so I doubt they are able to re-sign many of their own.  He will be 28.  I also expect them to re-sign Corbett (depth) at a vet min ($1.5m) deal. I also see free agency as a strong area to get a free safety who can play and is under age 30.  Hawkins, Cook, and Bryant are all around age 27-28, play at a high level, and should be had for about $15m per. EDGE: Arnold Ebiketie is a good value because he gets pressure at a high percentage.  He had 2 sacks and Atlanta just drafted 2 pass rushers last year.   He has a 70+ PFF rating and will (Spotrac) demand about $9m.  While he is not the answer, he is a great third down option with Princely and he would allow for Jones, Scourton, and Princely to develop.
