Picture this. We draft Barkley and simultaneously trade Howard to the Steelers for their 1st because they are weary of Bell. That's a scenario I could live with. Barkley has the hands of a Forte, power of Peterson, speed and elusiveness of Elliot and never been injured. IE: Sweetness on steroids. This is most complete back I have seen since 34. Anyway, It's a pipedream as he doesn't make it past 4.

Numerous mock drafts have of standing pat and drafting a receiver at 8. I just don't see the value. Thoughts?

Yikes! That changes things. Thanks, didn't have that info...

I think Washington is still in play. KC traded up while they had Smith, why can't Wash? Also, they are getting Smith for 10mil less than they would Cousins. Cousins being 5 years younger should be the franchise guy they are looking for, but they see it differently. They will probably draft a QB and use Smith as a rental.

Here's a draft I did. I traded down once for more picks. It's based on signing a good FA WR, Meredith, Inman and Wright. My thought was to spend heavy on offense and draft heavy on D. Your Picks: Round 1 Pick 13 (WASH): Tremaine Edmunds, OLB, Virginia Tech (B-) Round 2 Pick 7: Martinas Rankin, OT, Mississippi State (B+) Round 2 Pick 12 (WASH): D.J. Chark, WR, LSU (B+) Round 3 Pick 14 (WASH): R.J. McIntosh, DE/DT, Miami (FL) (A+) Round 4 Pick 5: Darius Phillips, CB, Western Michigan (A) Round 4 Pick 15: Jeff Holland, OLB, Auburn (A) Round 5 Pick 8: Kendrick Norton, DT, Miami (FL) (A) Round 6 Pick 7: Tyrone Crowder, OG, Clemson (A+) Round 7 Pick 6: Eddy Pineiro, K, Florida (A+)

He remInds me a lot of Brian Urlacher! Long, instinctive, sure tackler, closing speed...

I've never seen a second of film on him. That's the main thing a slow guy needs. One thing about good film, it doesn't lie.

I read everything you wrote and completely comprehended before posting. The Rice analogy you used was precisely my point. My statement was meant to mean, film trumps running in shorts. If you have a disagreement with that, I'd love to debate it.

Jerry Rice ran a 4.71. Bill Walsh drafted him on game film.

What about Aldon Smith? He's only 27 and...

That was a huge need

I don't think Gordon is an option. Nice thought though.

Keep Kevin White. Re-sign Dontrelle Inman , Cameron Meredith and Kendall Wright. On top of that I would love to sign Jimmy Graham and Jarvis Landry. Then draft BPA WR when applicable. Shit, the alarm clock just woke me.

agreed

Maybe. Barkley is a super talent.

As crazy as it sounds, it would very hard to pass on Saquon Barkley with our pick.

Yup

not sure if I buy that statement. If he can't block a guy on the edge, I don't think a system is going to help him.

Agreed. I would like to see Landry added plus a draft choice. Then maybe a guy like Prior for a 2nd tier signing.

Let's try this before drafting...

Here here!

All of my Colt fan buddies are batting this. Same story broke in Indy today. Good to win one!

Yea, Hurts is terrible.
