Now Devery has skills, but what EXACTLY has he "proven".... Other than the fact that he has stone hands??

Re: I say skip round 1 all together.
 

I doubt anyone will be willing to trade up to the top 10. However if they guy we want isn't worth the #10 money then just do not pick. Let you time expire and let a couple of other teams go ahead of you and then slide your pick up there whenever you are wanting to take your guy.

I highly doubt this will work and although it sounds good, then the next thing you have is everyone doing this. Plus some jackass agent will be pulling the you wanted my player when it wasyour pick at 10 and you have to pay him 10 money

Once again... money isn't going to be the issue after 7.

Re: I say skip round 1 all together.
 

My 2 Cents -

1. See if we could Trade 1st round picks with NYG in exchange for Shockey

2. Trade #31 pick overall (received from NYG) to Titans for Haynesworth...

Haynesworth & Shockey have contract issues/personal issues with their teams management, and we could benefit from 2 pro-bowl caliber players, and it would only cost us the #10 pick overall...

Re: I say skip round 1 all together.
 

Whats the point? Teams don't want to have to fork over more money on a weak draft class. Its going to be very difficult to find teams that will move up and take someone that maybe isn't worth the money. Some players are going to get paid more than they are worth even if they slide. Its a hard pill this year for teams to swallow, even if the money is an extra 5-6 millions which is a lot.

Hagan, I have thought about this very same thing. I really don't see the person we draft this year in the first round being the "Final" brick in the wall, to all our Superbowl run. Very good post Hagan. I sick of all the draft hype. I really wish they would move it up to the 1st weekend in March.

Re: I say skip round 1 all together.
 

I don't know about skipping the first round this year but hagan is right about next year's class, it will be loaded. It would be nice to have a couple of first rounders next year but we need an impact player this year because I think we're close. Yeah, I said it, we are close!

Re: I say skip round 1 all together.
 

Nice post..I agree with the OP. This class does seem very over rated , and if your not picking in the top 4, it just doesnt seem worth the money for the position you will draft.

Re: I say skip round 1 all together.
 

My point was clearly made... I'm not sure I can break it down anymore for you.

No one knows whether this is a "weak" or "overrated" draft class or not... just because it supposely lacks the big name talent, doesn't mean it's going to be weak. Prematurely labeling the draft class weak w/o them even playing a single game doesn't make any sense.

Re: I say skip round 1 all together.
 

I only say that because I am never right about any player....and I think highly of several this year, that means that they wont be worth jack @#!%
