Buzzkill!

Great post Ashkum! R1: Shocker...Laurinaitis LB OSU R2: Solid OT ...Loadholdt OT Ok R3: Wolis OT2 ...Watkins OT Fl Shoring up the OL, while bracing for a future at LB...

Inspiring, isn't it!

It is truly baffling.

My bad! I know that I had a freind buy a legit mini-helmet signed by coach about 4 years ago, and he paid $100. Add a bit of inflation,etc...I'd say a card is probably worth about $75. Baseball card, I know nothing about! I'd check out eBay..

I follow what you're saying. But, the flip side with the BEars is for every hester, there's an Okwo. I'm sure the same is for the Browns and Jets. We just don't know their draft picks as well. And if both were stallar, they'd be in the playoffs more consistently. I completely agree with your assessment of JA in the 1st round! It's pretty awful unless the obvious lands in his lap like Olsen. I would LOVE to get one of the many OL available in FA! There are so many, and with the added caop room, there is honestly no excuse for JA not to nab one or 2. If we do get a few OL via FA, I'm a bit more willing to wait longer to draft one...but really we need to infuse the line with youth. We don't need a project. We need a cornerstone we can rely on for years to come. While I understand your point on our 1st rounds whifs...you still have to approach it that the talent pool get worse as you prgess in the draft. Thus, meaning, that odds are you hit on good players in the 1st 3 rounds, and get lucky to get a few in the later. We all know reality happens differently on occasion, but you have to gamble by the rules. You always hit on 16 or less when the dealer's showing a face card. yeah, you can bust, or he can have a 3 under, but you have to play the odds. My general feeling for this draft is the shore the lines up. Both O and D, with more emphasis on O. If a player of remarkable quailty from another position come into play when we pick, then I'd consider it for sure. But my overall game plan would be shore the lines. I'd simpky rather take chances on other positions later in the draft than the lines...and specifically O line.

...and nother one bites the dust.

Unless the guy is a total bastard, you should return the card to him. And even if he is a bastard...he can claim a lawsuit agasint your company if his personal items are not returned. I'd take the high road...as temnpting as it might be to keep the card. Both you and your boss could lose you jobs by not doing so.

Becasue one should be grabbed earlier I feel. You can catch diamonds in the rough... But if you look at the Bears' history, thoe only diamonds we find in late rounds are on D. Bascially, I think the Giants draft better than we do...

Agreed...

http://www.nfl.com/players/willdemps/profile?id=DEM602717 Given his great start w/ the Ravens and last couple bad years on the Texans, I think he's worth a look.

Not to mention grabbing an OL in the late 3rd is just not a good idea...

Not sure it's worth the effort... If he can't be relied upon, I'd rather invest time in a young guy who will be around when we have a legit push for something better than our horrible division. But, with that said...for a cheap price, I'd consider it.

We need to get at least one of these guys...if not 2.

I fear he is injury prone now... I liked him, but he's risky when we need some kind of stability.

Agreed...given the Smith/Marinelli connections as well, I imagine some feelers would be put out.

...beat me to it! I had no idea Oher was a "problem person" per se...

My thoughts exactly...

You sure it's not that you have Jolie and the hot chick down the street still on your mind?

Not to speak for nfo, but I'm pretty sure he meant Oher.. Both are OL with 4 letter names starting with O that have an "h" in there... I could see myslef easily making that error...

Both Dee and Dum need to go for this franchise to flourish...

Definitley not a Mccaskey!

'nuff said!

Virtual rookies on the edge...not sure that's a dream other than for oppsing DE's! Although in therory I do like it... espcially with some more experience...
