The Top Offseason Acquisition
What am I thinking, the best offseason acquisition is the subtraction of Kellen Davis.

Feeding time at the Cutler house...
Who's feeing Jay, they have bigger forearms than him?

Jon Bostic
I would say most of the injuries were because you did not have any protective gear on. If the NFL played without helmets and pads, there would be a player hurt on every play. That is not the same case for Rugby. If they threw on some helmet and pads, you would rarely see an injury in Rugby.

2013 Player Salary Cap
Parker, We are not over the cap. We have $3.4 million for the rookie pool.

OLine/2013
I would say that the type of offense they play in does affect how good someone may actually perform. Webb would probably be a little better playing in the NO offense and Bushrod a little worse playing in CHI offense (of last year). However, with Trestman at the helm, I think both of them have the potential to be better this year.

The Top Offseason Acquisition
There are a bunch actually, I can see a group of guys fitting in this category, but I had to narrow it down, Bushrod, Bennett, and Long all seem to be the ones with the biggest potential because who they are replacing.

cliff Stein
More great news, the last two are Long and Bostic which will hopefully sign by the weekend.

NON-TEBOW TOPIC ALERT!!!
Jay needs to wear a "Goodell" headband.

cliff Stein
Technically yes, but it comes in the form of a signing bonus which I believe is one of the only negotiable items in a rookie contract. Once drafted they don't have as much leverage anymore, that is why the draft position is more important now than it was under the old CBA. Cliff Stein will eventually start signing players before they are even drafted, he is that good.

Cliff is really an efficient dude, great to see these signings. Also, I am surprised that Washington signed so quick because I know he was upset that he fell that far, and sometimes guys like that want more money based on where they were projected.

Jon Bostic
Teddy Bridgewater is also a Top 10 pick for 2014.

Jon Bostic
I like his speed to the ball carrier, you don't even see him in the frame, and then BAM he is hitting the QB.

Timothy Tebow
3 pages about Tim Tebow: :puke
-
Jon Bostic
It looks like all he needed to do was keep his head up because he was leading with his right shoulder, but puts his head down at the last second which puts his head out first.

Do me a favor!
54 is no longer on the team, so she needs to remove the jersey.

Marquess Wilson, WR, Washington St, selected at #236
Can't have a better role model than Marshall to show him the way though.

LB Corps the new (not) South Side Hitmen?
The Midway Mafia? The Hit Squad? The Really Good LB Corps from Chitown? Yeah, and I like the versatility of the rookies, they can play multiple positions, and all these LB's can hit. Briggs: Greene: Same hit: Bostic: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kCEWISyExwk Same hit: Williams:

Timothy Tebow
Others have us as a possible landing spot: http://sports.yahoo.com/news/done-jets-6-j...-172833551.html but how can he backup someone like this:

Draft Grades - My thoughts exactly, well mostly
Yeah the funny thing is that very rarely is a player drafted on the exact spot he is projected outside of the top 10, so everyone else either drops and becomes "value" or is taken early as a "reach". To me though, every player taken early is not a reach. Long fills a huge need for us and will likely start from day one. To me, if you draft a starter in the 1st, he is not a reach.
-
Timothy Tebow
I would not waste the roster spot.

Draft Grades - My thoughts exactly, well mostly
Define reach, he was the 20th pick yet Lane Johnson and Ziggy Ansah went 4 and 5, and they have very little experience on OL or in football altogether. I just think the term reach is subjective and relative to how the draft plays out. 5 OL taken in top 11 and 6 in top 19.

Draft Grades - My thoughts exactly, well mostly
A "D" for Long is BS, he wanted Trufant or Eifert there instead of Long. Eifert would be the 5th passing option after (Marshall, Jeffery, M. Bennett, Forte). So a TE2 is good value at #20? Trufant is not a Cover-2 Corner, and if he is only playing Nickel this year, is that worth it at #20? A Rotational DT like Floyd or Williams at #20? Maybe, but Long fills a huge need and is going to contribute from Day 1 making the entire Offense better. I can't see lower than a C+ assuming people think we took him too early. In a way grading the draft with the pick numbers is deceiving. Long was actually a 20-49 pick, and Bostic was a 50-116 pick. Just taking all pick #s out, picking up Long, Bostic, Greene, Mills, Washington and Mills with only 5 picks is a great draft. You could even say for values sake that we did trade down and got Long at 35, but picked up Greene in the 70's with our 3rd rounder we acquired. Greene would still be a good pick and Long then becomes a better pick, kind of funny when you look at it that way.
