Yeah, if he comes cheap, why not. Sometimes a change of scenery and working with a vet like Moose might help.

I say 8 games. These penalties are tougher than before. Two years ago, I would say 4-6, but now 8. Especially since it was a multiple offense that included jail time.

Yes, you can take SD.

What just happened? I saw a post about Hall being selected by the Bengals, so I went with Meachem for TEN, but now the Bengals selected Timmons? Just curious, because I would have selected Hall if he was available.

With the 19th pick, the Tennessee Titans select Robert Meachem, WR, Tennessee. The NY Football Giants are on the clock.........

Schedule will be released Thursday.

at Houston at Indianapolis vs San Francisco vs Cleveland Exact dates still TBD.

Are they speculating the 12th straight up with a 2nd or 3rd rounder from the Bills? That would be huge. The 12th pick straight up alone is worth a lot more than the Redskins offer. The 20th pick straight up would not be as good in terms of value compared to the Redskins offer. Man, 12th, 31st, and 37th would be huge.

Mock drafts updated in first post.

Wow, this is getting close: http://www.suntimes.com/sports/football/be...mully28.article The deal he turned down last year was for 6 years at $5.5 million a year with an estimated $15 million in guaranteed money.

However, with Grossman's contract situation, Quinn is not out of the realm of possibility. I would just rather move down and add more first day picks.

Depending on the status of Harris and Dvoracek, they may have to make someone inactive or cut someone once Tank comes back.

I hope he does. With the addition of Adams, this D-Line is looking pretty solid (with or without Tank). Dvoracek is also a wild card. There should be no reason why Harris is not back to 100%. These type of signings make the draft so much better. Now they can get the best available playmaker at each pick without having to sacrifice too much.

From all indications the first round swap is exclusively coming from the Washington side, so that is their initial offer. You have to believe there will be some negotiations to determine the best offer for both sides. Washington had already showed interest in moving out of the #6 pick, so the Bears should be able to use that as leverage. Another option could be the Bears swapping the early round 2nd for the #6 pick. That would give the Bears the #6 and the #31 with no 2nd round pick.

The game is listed as the 4:15 game. Is that on Monday?

More from ESPN.com:

I just hope we can get this over, and get something for him, because I cannot possibly see how this is helping his image and value.

Yeah, but I am sure there are loopholes in that as well. The Bears can just as easily suspend him for those games without pay for "actions detrimental to the team". He sure has done enough already to warrant that. I just hope something comes out of the Owner's meetings. Lets get this over quick.

Thats why I kinda like the NE idea. 24, 28, and 37. Just think of that. Posluszny, Griffin/Merriweather, and OL or DL.

Yeah, he was the longest shot on that list. I never thought about moving up, but the 1st and 2nd rounder would be equivalent to the #3 pick.

That would be equivalent to the #16 pick (1000 pts). They could keep it or trade down Some guys who might be available at #6: Joe Thomas - OT Alan Branch - DT Adrian Peterson - RB Brady Quinn - QB Gaines Adams - DE Jammal Anderson - DE They could also work a trade with someone like NE and swap their 2 first rounders for the #6 pick, and swap a later round pick to make the value even. That would give them the 24, 28, and 37.

At this rate we will complete this draft sometime in June. We might want to speed up the picks to one or two a day.

Thats odd. I wonder if the Bears made him an offer, Carter turned it down and re-signed with Pittsburgh.

Sweet deals. I am feeling so much better by these moves. Carter played for the Steelers and played in 16 games a year 4 out of the last 5, so he seems fairly durable and is probably a decent backup. This all but guarantees that D. Manning will move to CB and Hester will be featured exclusively on returns. With all these moves, the draft is going to be exciting.
