Pre-Draft Lull

The first round of the 2014 NFL Draft is a little more than two weeks away (17 days to be exact) so if you're going around the internet looking for football news, you may want to give it a rest for a while.

 

The last few weeks before the draft don't generally see a lot of action in free agency.  So outside of draft day speculation or some unexpected scandal/arrest, pro football news may be kinda hard to come by for the next sixteen days.

 

Granted the draftniks may have a fair share of fodder for discussion.  But if that's not your thing, these next few weeks are likely to drag.

I think it was Mark Twain who used to talk about there being "liars, damn liars and statisticians".

 

These days, I'd add NFL personnel guys to that list.

 

I believe that came from a former Prime Minister of Great Britain.

The Calm

The S--t Storm

 

...if Gettleman makes picks Huddlers don't like.

 

 

Normally the draft would have either been this past weekend or next weekend.  But this extra 2 weeks is killing me.

 

Overall I think moving it back was a good idea, but right now...yeah :(

More time to learn about players. I'm going to take advantage. I'm starting to think this L'Damian Washington kid out of Mizzou might be a nice 6th or 7th round snag. I want a lot of competition at receiver and we need more size.

"This is definitely a receiver with a chance to be very good in a few years, especially if he lands with a team ...like the Panthers"

      Joe Person: Panthers really like Mason Graham and Jalon Walker

      By tukafan21 · Posted

      I don't think it was fear of the unknown because he tried to hide the extent of the injuries that made him drop. After the drop, the reports I heard were that teams knew what was wrong with his knee and it was something similar to another athlete from a few years ago (honestly don't remember if it was even a football player).  That it was basically one of those things where he should be fine for a while, there isn't a huge concern of immediate injury risk.   But what he has going on with his knee is something that is degenerative and there's little chance he'll be able to play more than 5 or so years on it before he won't be able to play anymore. So basically it was teams knowing if they draft him, he's probably going to be only a rookie contract player and even if he's great, you might not be able to get use out of him on a second contract.  Which in turn makes the drop make sense, but I'm kinda surprised some contending team didn't take him late in the 1st, hoping he'd put them over the top on a SB run but then not even have to worry about giving him a big contract in 4 years too.

      Depends if they see the writing on the wall with their roster and contracts and decide to bite the bullet and begin a complete rebuild and roster overhaul.  I have no clue why some franchises (IE us) refuse to do this and keep half assing trying to win 8 games or so.  Do it correctly, take your lumps and build a contender.  We shall see what loomis decides.

      Each team plays 17 games.  I do not see why they don't just have each team play one international game per year.  Neutral site game, 8 home, 8 away.
