Re: 2014 NFL Draft
Well, I really didn't see Khairi Fortt, OLB, California; Height: 6’ 2”; Weight 242 lbs. past the middle of the third round - crazy, deep draft probably overwhelmed many GMs with options...
Really believe fans here are gonna like this guy, and when he gets his opportunity to shine, plus salary cap ramifications for the ILBers Lofton and Hawthorne next season, don't be surprised to find this guy a starter... Powell's big question mark is the knee, same as Victor Butler; similar players but Powell has the higher ceiling if he can get those medical issues way behind him... Disagree with Saints regarding OL value in the draft in the fifth and taking Sunseri - Superbowl contender or not, you don't draft players for special teams unless it's the sixth/seventh round and there an exception kicker, punter, or return bloke... Damn, we should have use that fifth round pick on Sunseri on an Interior lineman such as Zach Fulton or the NT McCullers out of Tennessee... Wow, Steelers stole Martavis Bryant - know we've stole our share, but looking forward to watching how that pans out... |

It's not that my way is the right way, I just make the right way my way...

Re: 2014 NFL Draft
Best thing that ever happened to the draft process was the salary slot assignment of a rookie draft pool...
How many careers would not have been derailed, delayed by player/agent greed had this CBA section been added years ago?!? We've got our second, both fifth, and sixth round selections under contract; so we're still waiting for the first and fourth to sign... |

Re: 2014 NFL Draft
NFL.com Draft Grades
BEST PICK: Brandin Cooks, WR, Oregon State New Orleans Saints, Round 1, No. 20 overall Sean Payton is arguably the league's top play-caller, with a knack for putting his best offensive weapons in position to hit home runs. Cooks is a polished pass catcher with explosive speed, quickness and burst. While some miscast Cooks as strictly a slot receiver, the 2013 Biletnikoff Award winner (given to the top college receiver) is a versatile player with the skills to wreak havoc from any spot on the field.

One thing I learned from drinking. You should always go Christmas caroling with a group. Oh, and always in mid-December.

Re: 2014 NFL Draft
Looking at the scores, Kiper is trending...down...
Jason Boris has been outstanding, except for this year which most sucked as this was a crazy, deep draft... |
