Since its almost that time, I figure we can get all the speculation going in here. Before we start, I would just like to point out what I have been saying SINCE FUCKIN DECEMBER:
Team Needs
Giants: The Giants need to find someone to replace receiver Plaxico Burress, who was lost after his well-publicized firearm incident last year. This is crucial because Eli Manning is not the most accurate passer, so a player like Burress, with a "big body, that power forward mentality" will fight for balls thrown in his general vicinity. "Who has that? Kenny Britt out of Rutgers," Kiper said.
WILL ONE OF THESE GODDAMN TEAMS IN THE NFL OR NBA WAKE UP AND GIMMIE A GODDAMN JOB ALREADY?

I find this funny as well:
Hakeem Nicks, WR, North Carolina: From the combine to the workout, he went from 212 lbs to 226 lbs. "From the teams I've talked to, that's a red flag," Kiper said. But Nicks is still a first-rounder.
DAMN SON. In a month or so this kid put on fuckin 14 pounds?

I want to be on record that I despise the draft. I live and breath sports every day. But this event is such a crapshoot and is so overblown. They way they test these players in the combine is a joke. The mock draft after mock draft is truly annoying. But I guess the public cares so they do it. I guess since I never had a favorite team I have no vested interest in that respect. Give me the NBA draft any day, over in 3 hours.
My interest comes from me seeing players I think can be studs but are somewhat undervalued. Or players I just think are special and can't wait to watch them play. I think there are a lot of people like me.
I don't care what weight Nicks put on, he should flourish in the league. I will forever have the catch he made in his bowl game burned into my retina. One of the most athletically challenging plays I've ever seen done with such ease..
I like Nate Davis more than either of the top 2 quarterbacks in the draft. If I were the Lions, I'd trade the pick and another for Cutler in a heartbeat. They still have the 20 from Roy Williams. They can get very good very quick. I also like Josh Freeman.
I hope Teel gets drafted. He has an NFL arm, whether all the skill are there, I don't know, but some team should take a late 2nd day shot on him.
I love Shonn Greene, think he could be the best back taken in the draft. Love Rey Maualuga, can't wait to watch him play.
Ill have more thoughts as it gets closer to the draft, even though I hate it.

I dont care about the mocks and all that nonsense. Certain things in the combine I look for but the workouts are way more important.
I dont see teel getting drafted, and Nate Davis is a little too small to be any type of high pick. Plus the last couple games he had last season were pretty fuckin awful.
As far as Nicks' weight, I was just commenting how one puts on that much weight that fast. I couldnt do that if I tried. Maybe Hippo could explain it.
As far as the Rutgers guys, most people know about Britt by now. Underwood had a very good combine and workouts so they moved him up from 5th round projection to like a mid-late 3rd.
Also don't sleep on Courtney Greene. He will be a decent safety

My thoughts on the draft:
1. All of the QBs in this draft blow ape. The only one I would take a mid-round flyer on is Nate Davis. Mark Sanchez is one of the worst projected first round QBs I have ever seen.
2. The best player in this draft is Aaron Curry. Jason Smith is #2. BJ Raji is #3. Brian Orakpo is #4.
3. RBs: See first post. Moreno is a slower Cadillac Williams. Beanie wells is Kevin Jones v.2. Honestly, LeSean McCoy is maybe the safest bet out of any of them.
4. Lawrence Sidbury Jr. will be a steal. Connor Barwin will be a bust.
5. Brian Cushing and Clay Matthews are classic workout warriors. Draft at your own peril. Same goes for Percy Harvin.
6. Juaquin Iglesias is another steal in this draft.
7. The best CB in this draft will end up being Coye Francies.
More thoughts to follow.

They need a receiver who can stretch the field. A burner type. Cotchery is not that. Neither is Stuckey. Clowney is a burner but he has been around a while and cant seem to find his role with a team. Id love Rey Mauluga(sp?) from USC but I think we have alot of LBs. We def need a DE.

I think Nicks is dangerous cause he put on 30 pounds since the combine.
Harvin isnt what we need right now. We need a big guy who can go up and get the ball and run someone over. We need a guy like Britt, only I'm worried he wont even make it to 29 anymore. His stock has taken a fast shot straight up

The thing is, if you're going to lose big next year (and they will) the smart money would have been spent on Aaron Curry or Jason Smith. The QB class will be worlds better next year anyway, and there is no sense in paying a QB that much bread and then throwing him to the wolves.

Curry said that he would take considerably less as the first overall pick, Oher isn't near the physical specimen that J. Smith is and I'd take Bradford and McCoy over this years QB draft class without question.

I DONT get this thought. Some people have it. I just dont understand it. He has the arm.....and thats about it. Look how long it took his ass to get with it last year. And alot of people forget he played his whole career basically with 2 pretty awesome WRs and a couple years with a 3rd who was usually the fastest guy on the field. You CANT underestimate what Underwood and Briit meant to Teel in 06 and 07 and what Britt especially did for him last season.
MIKE TEEL IS NOT THAT GOOD. He just isnt. He makes too many dumb decisions, gets too inaccurate with passes, and doesn't have the athleticism to even begin to think about avoiding sacks from guys in the NFL. I just dont see him having any chance.

To me, the skills were there, it just seemed like the head wasn't. He was god awful the first 6 games last year, then he just changed (HE changed) and he played as good as any QB in the country, good receivers or not. I just saw flashes of greatness.
You'll end up being right cuz he probably won't even get drafted. But I think he'll have some sort of career.

he has ability to throw the ball. You have to keep in mind Rutgers had a very good pass blocking O line, and britt pretty much ALWAYS got open. Go watch alot of Teel's highlights last year. Guys were wide open. yea you have to get it there but its not that hard with 10 yards of space. The Line and The receivers RIPPED opponents during that run. Teel did what he had to do, yea, but he didnt do anything special. He may have also had the best OVERALL WR core in the country. Between Briit, Underwood(who will surprise people in the NFL and had a remarkable combine), Tim Brown and Shammar Graves at Tight end, he shoulda had stats like that all year.
the main problem is he cant move. He ran like a 5.85 40. Im not even kidding. He is a sloth. He doesn't have the brain to not have mobility in the NFL, nevermind having ZERO mobility. The only 2 things he has going for him is he was there for 5 years and he played in a pro style offense. But shit, most NFL teams compared to the competition wont have receivers doing whatever they wanted like Rutgers did. I can't stress enough how good their receivers were at gettin open. Too bad they are mostly gone

they may flip the 2's (do they have 2 twos) and trade up for pettigrew
I actually like Stafford more than some I've talked to, but not behind that shit OLine.
On the plus side he has a quick release, that alone should slow down the rushing D-linemen, that is a shitload of money though, they better use all the rest of their picks on linemen to help.
Hes better than some people are giving him credit for and lets not forget that richt was a qb coach first so he knows what hes doing.
Stafford will be fine, he had practice running around last year behind UGAs broken O line so it wont be a huge shock to him having to scramble, detroit will be happy for quite a few years to come with him back there.

As a skins fan i am happy they did not trade up i hope they trade down
Thanks. Stuck at work and only have the NFL DraftCast from espn.com.
Browns got the best of this deal.
they did because of the 2nd rounder, but I think Sanchez will be a hispanic Pennington- a decent qb.
As much as I would've liked Green Bay to trade down, getting Raji was too much to pass up at #9.
They must have a shitload of confidence in Singletary in dealing with Michael Crabtree's supposed attitude.

Much worse. Sanchez is overhyped to the extreme. Although Matt Ryan was pretty hyped up and he did OK, and so did Flacco.
I'm trying to calm myself by saying that the Jets have a very solid O-line so he'll be well protected. But still... this is insanity.
THey gave up three players PLUS their 1st and 2nd round picks.

I just looked at the draft board, and it looks like the Jets do have a third round pick... epo, which third rounder did you get from us in the Favre deal? I thought it was 2009, but is it 2010?
If I remember correctly, it was a fourth rounder to start; if Favre makes a number of starts (which he did) it was a third rounder, if they made the playoffs it was a second rounder, and if they made the superbowl it was a first rounder. Is that right?

I was mostly so early on him cause I a Rutgers fan, but I still know how to watch guys objectively. Britt is way better than Nicks. The only reason I had accepted the thought of having Nicks is cause Britt was projected to not make it to 29. Once he did, it was pretty much a no brainer to take him, just like EVERY EXPERT ON EVERY PIECE OF COVERAGE SAID. I also think Britt is a decent amount better than Hayward Bey. The only receivers in the draft better than him were Crabtree and Maclin. Tennessee just got a huge gift that will make them very happy.
And the Giants just blew it

I have a friend in Miami sports media who tells me the Dolphins FO and coaches are pretty damn high on Henne. I see Pat White being the slash/ultimate weapon/wildcat guy and probably the third stringer, at least for this year, and personally I think it may end up working out very well for the fish.

Its easy to have high completion percentages in the offense that they ran, most of the passes were short over the middle or swing passes, he may do fine but Im just not sold on him being a QB at the pro level. He has vick type talent with a weaker arm.

Palmer had a great release valve and two good receivers in cincy along with a decent O-line, cassell doesnt count since he never even started a game, so basically one NFL caliber QB from a school that is supposed to be known for its offense and passing game. Not very impressive.
Also lets see what cassell can do outside of the NE system, we know he wont get 15 wins but I think we can see just how much he can get done in a different setting, all of that still doesnt change the fact that sanchez is woefully over hyped for playing one decent season.

How are you defining "franchise QB"....because under your definition (contractual reward), the great Scott Mitchell would've been a franchise QB.
Started 15 games, got 6 year deal to be a franchise QB for a team. I'm not even saying he's that good but he's a franchise QB now. And was 'franchised' by the team before he left.
That makes 2 for USC. What other school has that?

He couldn't even beat out JDB in 2007, if that tells you anything (and it should).
It tells me something that he didn't start a game since high school yet went 10-5 as a starter, threw 23 td's and 4,000 yards. You can tell me its the system all you want, his arm strength was unmistakable. And the Pats kinda have a knack for finding hidden talent.
Almost every QB in the league would have sat behind those QB's if they went to USC.

Oh alright.
But I'd defend him by looking at the USC track record. They do better at that position in the NFL than any other school recently. It's an NFL system, NFL coach, he should be able to step in and make a difference faster than most QB's.
Started 15 games, got 6 year deal to be a franchise QB for a team. I'm not even saying he's that good but he's a franchise QB now. And was 'franchised' by the team before he left.
Just because Kansas City bought a bill of goods, doesn't make Cassell a real franchise QB.

I really don't know nor do I care. Sanchez & Cassell's problems have nothing to do with them coming from USC, they stem from them being overrated.

I guess not yet technically. But he is in position to be one. He's gone through every process a franchise QB would go through. It's less likely that he won't be a franchise than he will. He clearly has arm strength and the ability to win. Going to an offensive guru coach. Everything points to a franchise QB except for something you don't like about him.
I really don't know nor do I care. Sanchez & Cassell's problems have nothing to do with them coming from USC, they stem from them being overrated.
Sorry, but I'll give some credence to a school's track record. It's one of the more reliable ways to evaluate talent, especially at a position or a system. That and my eyes, which saw Cassell make some plays last year that few in the NFL could make.
You can only say Sanchez is overrated in the technical sense because of where he got drafted but he hasn't even played a down yet. The Jets didn't think he would drop so so they moved up to get him.

Wrong, played in 16, started in 15.
And he actually had a very good year considering they wouldn't let him throw for the first 2 starts. He's also going to another very good system, will that be his fault too? Is Tom Brady overrated because of it?
I'm not showering him with accolades, I'm saying he's Kansas City's FRANCHISE QB making that 2 for USC making them a viable breeding ground for NFL QB's. That's the only point I was trying to make. Still waiting on how many schools who can say that. Never did address that.

I think we were goin on how the performace was though too. Thats my point. No USC is not a breeding ground for QBs. They have put out some good ones because they usually end up with the best players in teh country because they take anyone with any character issues and they dont make you go to class. So kids like to go there.
When I think USC, I think more about LB's and defense and shit. And bust RBs long before I think about QBs. So they put a few half decent QBs out. Again, MIAMI OF OHIO has a QB who has won more SBs than any of these USC bums

Again I just said that that QB had more success. Im not arguing against you in terms of USC having good QBs come out, but you should care why people go there. Its alot easier to keep putting out good NFL prospects when they all come to your college. They dont mold these Qbs and make them stars. They already had that ability when they got there. They just happened to choose to go to the best school in a nice place.
And yes I can watch the NFL and say they arent cause the QBs really arent that good. Just cause a school puts QBs into the NFL doesnt mean they are great QBs.

Ok im gonna break down just whats in caps:
First off. At any given time USC has like 5 QBs that could start at most any program in teh US. As compared to alot of school who have maybe 1 QB that could compete somewhere else. Is that cause all these QBs say to themselves well I need to go to USC to be developed into a good QB? You are almost killing your own point. You dont care where they went, you just recognize where they come from.
Thats like bragging that Ramapo HS has better football players than Mahwah. Well, yea they do, cause they have like 2000 kids to choose from as opposed to 500. You HAVE to take that into account. USC doesnt develop franchise QBs, they get them to sign at their school. Shit cassel couldnt even see there field there cause they had so many great players at the position, so you better fuckin expect them to have a few get to the NFL.
When you label a school as being known for putting out a certain potition, thats usually based on NFL PERFORMANCE. They didnt start calling Penn State LB U cause they had a bunch get drafted. Its because they went on to be great NFL LBers.
I will not call USC a QB school. They just have so many guys on the team at each position that they put tons into the NFL.

wow you arent dealing with facts very well. Because its about more than just numbers. If you even think Cassel is a 500 QB in another place, you are fuckin nuts. He had the success he had because of the quality of the team and receivers he had, and mostly cause the coach built a game plan to help him. Cassel will not do the same things in KC.
And Palmer is only lesser now cause of his knee. Ill give you that. But its 1 guy. The 3rd "franchise" qb cant get on the field over a 40 year old. Stop it. They had 1 great QB, one solid one who got lucky, and one bum. Thats just average.

Look at what Schiano got out of a bum like Mike Teel. NO FUCKIN CHANCE he is near that good playing at USC. They wouldnt even know how to deal with a guy with that little talent cause they never see it. They dont coach them to shit.
USC is like Phil Jackson. If they DONT put out pros and win, they fail, because they have no excuse not to. They arent that good, they just get the best weapons. And that leads to having more weapons to send to the NFL. Not cause you are great with them, just cause you happen to have most of them

The team does develop them better. Its a fact that they have a better understanding of NFL systems when they come out. They play for an NFL coach.

they play for a coach who failed SO MISERABLY in the NFL. Keep that in mind.
And no they dont. Cassel was good with NE cause he spent 3 years in NE. Not cause of what happened at USC. And again, you better be able to have your QBs play better when they are better players. Its not better coaching, its more talent. And as much as you seem to think TALENT LEVEL has no relation to what you put in the NFL, you are wrong. Pete Carrol is not the best coach in college football. He just usually has the best shit to work with, and it makes him look great. He isnt that great

This is my whole problem with your argument. Matt Cassell is NOT a highly successful NFL QB yet.
Prove something in Kansas City and I'll agree with you.
He had the success that highly successful QB's begin with. What more could he have done than what he did?
Get drafted by a different team? (not his choice) He was given an opportunity and flourished. For that, he was given a franchise job.
And don't forget he's going into another offensive mind, will that be held against him to?
So Brady is overrated because of the system he played in then? I like it.

for hammer:
Carson Palmer, Matt Leinart, Sean Salisbury, Rodney Peete, Pat Haden, Matt Cassel, Bill Nelsen, Pete Beathard, Vince Evans, Paul McDonald, Todd Marinovich, Rob Johnson.
Thats every QB who ever played for USC and then the NFL. WOW WHAT A KNOCK DOWN LIST OF HALL OF FAMERS.
Stop it. they have a few lately. It happens to coincide with them becoming the only great program on teh entire west coast, and pulling in every best player from every state. Its not cause they were known for bringin up QBs and so they all wanna go there. They wanna go there cause they would move into the best talent and a beautiful place and thats it

Yea dickhead. Cause cassel's one big year is so much the same as all brady did for his WHOLE CAREER. You really dont see where you are so incredibly flawed in your logic?

Fuck Pete Carrol in the ass, he was a shitty NFL coach, I'm not defending him. Some coaches are better in college. So Schiano would be a bad coach if he went to the NFL and failed. Seperate jobs.
But he's a great college coach. USC always got good talent but he gets the absolute best. And then teaches QB's an NFL system so when they get to the NFL, they are prepared. GM's take that into consideration.

he doesnt teach QBs an NFL system cause of the NFL you ass. He runs a pro style offense just cause thats what he runs. Alot of schools do that. Its not cause he wants to get guys ready for the NFL. Its just what he knows and how he tries to win at the college level. Fuck again, Rutgers runs a pro set. Pete Carrol would not get the performance out of that talent that Schiano and probably 20 other coaches would. Cause he isnt that good.
And if they trust pete carrol so much, why did anyone take sanchez? According to old pete, Mark fucked up and was NOT ready. GMs didnt seem to agree with that

I said recent history. 3 on that list in the last 10 years, under Carroll. Everyone before then can die.
Yea dickhead. Cause cassel's one big year is so much the same as all brady did for his WHOLE CAREER. You really dont see where you are so incredibly flawed in your logic?
Cassell did more in his first year in that system than Brady did. But when Cassell flourished it was the system and when Brady flourished it was Brady. Be consistent. I don't give two shits about Matt Cassell, he's just a current franchise QB. You don't make that trade and give that contract if he's not.
I'm caught up in a debate now that I don't want to have. Fuck USC and Tom Brady in the mouth. This:
I still find it amazing that people put that tag to any USC QB, hell the most known USC quarterback recently is one that never even started a game for them, sanchez's release may be his downfall.
is just dumb. USC has 2 current franchise QB's. So to find it amazing that people would put that tag on a USC QB is stupid and I'm dumber for reading it.

i dont acknowledge what sp1 posts. I figured you smart enough to be to that point already.
And see again with the cassel brady thing. You are over simplifying it. Brady had success in teh system for years. Won a few SUPERBOWLS, and had probably the best single season passing EVER. That was the first season he actually had receiving, btw. Continually, Brady proved he was good year after year. Cassell, in terms of a guy falling into his first starts ever, COULDNT HAVE BEEN IN A BETTER PLACE. Is the same true for Brady? To a point, but no. The patriots team that cassel started with was WAY better than the one Brady did. Even you know that.
Im not saying Cassel wont be good, but it was 1 year. Tons of QBs have 1 lucky year, see Derek Anderson. Brady proved he was the real deal. Let Cassell do that before you jiz all over him

He brought up the dumb point, you butted in and pulled me away from it. Damn you for that.
They sure did have a lot of injuries last year but it was definitely a better situation. If I have to say fuck Matt Cassell, I don't give a shit about him again, I'm gonna lose my shit. He had a great year in, granted, a very good situation. No he's a franchise QB, that's just a fact. Let him die in a fire, fuck him I don't care.

Just to add to my point. Pete Carrol and USC are like Coach K and Duke. Yea they do a real good job of developing guys to go flop in the pros. For the most part, the guys dont play as well as they should in the NFL. Fuck them all. They arent good coaches. Thats why you can COUNT on them blowing a game every year. In USC's case, usually against some bum school.
So far so good for my boys.

Seattle got a steal. I knew he was too talented to not get drafted. Get that Seahawk Teel jersey ordered Snoogans.
Got to say I really like the Eagles' draft.
I know the ham n egger fans out there will bitch about them not trading picks for Boldin, but they got everything they needed.
Wrong, played in 16, started in 15.
And he actually had a very good year considering they wouldn't let him throw for the first 2 starts. He's also going to another very good system, will that be his fault too? Is Tom Brady overrated because of it?
I'm not showering him with accolades, I'm saying he's Kansas City's FRANCHISE QB making that 2 for USC making them a viable breeding ground for NFL QB's. That's the only point I was trying to make. Still waiting on how many schools who can say that. Never did address that.
Matt Cassel never started a college game at QB, never had a good season, fuck he never even threw a TD pass.
College career(link) (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Matt_Cassel#College_career)
Cassel spent his entire Trojan career as a backup behind Heisman Trophy winners Carson Palmer [9] and Matt Leinart. Cassel was the backup for Palmer during his Heisman-winning 2002 season. In the fall, Cassel lost the battle for the starting position to the previous third-string quarterback in Leinart. As a result of Leinart's success, Cassel spent time at tight end and wide receiver in 2001, and some special teams that year. He started at half-back against California once as well,even making his lone collegiate start at that position. During his four seasons there, Cassel completed 19 of 33 passes for 192 yards, with no touchdowns and one interception.[10]
Cassel, a communication major at USC, was also roommates with current Pittsburgh Steelers safety Troy Polamalu[11] and Carson Palmer.[12]
Cassel played one season of baseball for USC in 2004, he had an 0-1 record with 10 strikeouts and 4 walks, he played in 8 games and started 1. Cassel struck out in his only at bat in college. He also had 2 saves with a 9.35 ERA, and was selected by the Oakland Athletics in the 36th round of the 2004 MLB Draft.[13]
And here (http://www.pro-football-reference.com/players/C/CassMa00.htm)at the bottom of the reference for football is his whole college career, less than 200 yards total passing for his entire career.
USC is not a qb factory, one year does not a franchise qb make and carson palmer has turned to shit once teams figured out his tendencies, hes serviceable as a qb but to say hes a franchise qb? Thats just fucking crazy, even after his few years in the league hes not worth what stafford got this year or even what ryan got last year.
To even think that cassel didnt walk into a great fucking scenario last year is just insane, he had a team that was one win away from being undefeated, even brady cant say that. If he can even come close to what joe montana did in KC then he may be worthy to be mentioned as a franchise qb but rest assured his being designated as a franchise qb had nothing to do with him being the franchise as much as it had to do with NE not wanting to lose him and get nothing in return.
i dont acknowledge what sp1 posts. I figured you smart enough to be to that point already.
You just never want to admit that Im right about rutgers being a flash in the pan and that Schiano will leave soon
Got to say I really like the Eagles' draft.
I know the ham n egger fans out there will bitch about them not trading picks for Boldin, but they got everything they needed.
Judging right now, which ultimately doesn't matter at all, I think this is the best looking Eagles draft I've ever seen. If you include trades they made with their draft picks they get Jason Peters, Ellis Hobbs, Jeremy Maclin, LeSean McCoy, Cornelius Ingram and Butch Harris. I like this better than the Sheppard, Brown and Lewis draft at this point. And ironically with the addition of Hobbs none of those three might be here opening day.

I like it too. But do you think that Maclin is a perfect fit with Jackson already there? Wouldn't have a different receiver been a better fit with what they have? Eagles fan would know better than me on this.
