Anywhere but Washington.

 

It would be fun to see him at Miami. Cleveland needs weapons and will hsve to trade picks to get him.

 

They have a bunch of extra picks from Atlanta that they can play with, too.

Fletcher Cox looked amazing today. Good call on that one.

 

Perry also seems like he can be a stud in the NFL. Plenty of starting experience at USC, blue chip all the way through, produced, did some leading, gives a good interview, well coached...You'd swear he's the most talented Alabama player or...damn I have to resist. There's alot of things I like about Perry. I think he can play in any system too.

 

Vontaze Burfict for UDFA and lawlz.

You know who I like? Dre Kirkpatrick . I don't care which DB spot he plays, I'd love him on my team. He's a more calculating version of Antrel Rolle, who was a damn good prospect (went 6th overall too). Probably should also mention that Rolle is a pretty good DB now, though like every non-Revis/Haden DB he looks stupid sometimes.

Harrison Smith and Dre Kirkpatrick are two guys I'd really like the Titans to look at in the first and second rounds (Kirkpatrick in the first and Smith in the second) if either is available.

Boy most people would have bet the farm against Harrison Smith being a possible R1 pick just 2 years ago. Chuck Martin saved his career.

As of the end of October 2010 I'd have laughed in the face of anyone suggesting he'd ever be worth anything. Really impressive turnaround by that guy.

I like Smith and still wouldn't draft him before the late 3rd.

 

bc you think safeties aren't valuable?

 

That plays into it a little, but I'd love Mark Barron at 16 if he gets a chance to workout before the draft. I think he's a steal at the end of the first and an absolute coup in the 2nd for anyone. So it's not all about his position...I just don't think he's that good. I think alot of guys after Barron are hoping to have an Abram Elam type of career...MAYBE Iloka, but I've even cooled on him lately. I used to think I'd draft him in the 2nd, but probably more the very early 3rd.

 

I actually would not complain one bit if the Jets' first three picks looked like this:

 

Barron

DE/LB - WR - OT - Fallen RB (well really only Miller, not a David Wilson fan)

Iloka

 

We'd have our safeties for the next 5+ years. With two good safeties no one would want to pass on the Jets. The CB group is the best in the league and has the speed and cover skills to match with anyone. Hell, Cromartie would be the #1 CB for the majority of teams out there (he's really taken to the coaching here and looked really good by the end of the season), and Wilson looked excellent at times in the slot with the ability to play outside in due time. Last year the safety play for the team was your typical NFL slop at S (Leonhard got hurt again, Eric Smith is useful but not a starter), and along with a couple of issues helped drag the D down a little.

Location and my friends, I guess. None of us are hardcore football fans (well, maybe one) at all, but basically the Jets lucked out.

 

Can't say I hold football or the NFL in high regard anyway...So going with their jokiest team maybe fits.

Looks like we can scratch off Washington as a destination for Manning.

Son of a bitch. After pimping up RG3 the last couple of years I have to hate him in the NFL.

they stuck it in real good

 

To top it all off, they still may get Blackmon, too. Such a good trade for the Rams.

Snyder should take Al Davis's role. RG3's 40 time probably would have been enough to kill him if he was still alive.
