  1. Raw, how many of our picks do you see contributing in 2013? Personally, I think Long is a starter at guard. Bostic or Greene is a starter, position TBD, the other likely just gets special teams for a year, and Wilson gets plenty of snaps as our 4th WR.
  2. Daytona's field is one of the worst in all the minor leagues too, unless things have changed in yhe last year. I wouldn't worry too much about errors.
  3. Yeah, Walter mentioned Wilson was a second round talent before all the stuff went down this year. I'm very intrigued, to say the least.
  4. Our favorite .100 hitting AAA 3B is bitching on Twitter about how the Rockies screwed him and now Chris Nelson over, saying he loved his time in Colorado, no disrespect to the Cubs. Honestly, I'll be surprised if Stewart gets 50 at bats in the majors this year.
  5. Along with Ford, Harrison, and Russell-Jimmy Coy, QB from Xavier, PJ Lunergan, C from LSU, Tress Way, P and Jonathan Hurst, CB from Oklahoma, Zach Minter, DT from Montana State, Tunde Bakare, LB, from Kansas, and Josh Lenz, WR from Iowa State.
  6. UDFA time: Bears get DT Brent Russell of Ga Southern. Have seen him mocked as high as 4th round. Also get WR Mark Harrison from Rutgers, who Kiper had very high. Have signed others as well, but they're the only 2 I recognize.
  7. Outside of how our first pick was made(no issue with the player, just wanted a trade back, if thats who we wanted) the rest of the draft was extremely solid. Really hard to fault the rest of it. I think I'd give the entire draft a B grade, docking solely for Long at 20, instead of back from that spot.
  8. I disagree. He basically averaged 100 yards a game in the Pac-12. Just quit on his team. Runs mid-4.4's.
  9. We actually took a guy with possibly MORE character issues than Rogers. Fast as hell though. Toothpick. Like it a lot though. Hopefully Marshall can be a good influence on him.
  10. We're up, Rogers still on the board. Character issues must be off the charts.
  11. Man, I really wanted WR addressed but again, they took a great value. Hard to be upset. They've added 3 guys today that can all contribute. Hell, you can make the case they addes 3 guys today that all could have been off the board yesterday.
  12. Is Weems as a 4th WR really a big problem? Honestly, he hasn't been on the field in his career to know, has he? That can't bode well, can it? Plus, one injury and we're really hurting......If we add a FA, I'm fine too, but that position gets paid and we don't have cap room.
  13. Swope just went. But I gotta admit seeing him get passed over continuously did make me wonder why I've wanted him since the 4th......
  14. Currently, our 3rd/4th CB's are Hayden and Bowman. Our 3rd WR is Bennett, without having a 4th. I DO think taking a WR in the 6th is necessary, maybe a developmental CB in the 7th. Just figure on drafting 2 CB's early next year, assuming one of Tillman or Jennings leaves.
  15. I really wanted Swope. But Mills IS a nice value. Whether we agree with WHAT Emery did to the O-Line this offseason, he certainly addressed it.
  16. Well, at least one of Swope or Rogets will be on the board. Poyer's still out there too.
  17. Traded the [expletive] pick, with Swope on the board.
  18. Tharold Simon's dumbassery didn't really cost him but a round or so. Figured he'd wind up as a UDFA after Thursday night.
  19. Same here. I like Stills quite a bit, he may make it to us. Rogers could too, he's getting docked pretty hard for off field stuff.
  20. Barkley wins great comment of the day: Asked Peter King if this counted as the 1st pick.......
  21. Same teams do it year after year. While others try to prove they're smarter than those teams are and dig themselves deeper.
  22. Damnit, there goes Patton. Missed Harper was picked earlier too.
  23. I was waiting on a blowup with that. Man, getting Lacy AND Franklin? Guess they realize they needed a running game. Damnit.
  24. As long as WR and CB are addressed in 5th and 6th, I think we're fine.
