You're right JP. Just sick of seeing that idiot pounce on everyone just for having an opinion. Yet when someone questions his mighty logic he gets all butt hurt. The entire idea behind a forum seems lost on him.

I don't have to go back through the thread. I have read every single post. Some of you are butt hurt because the people that do this for a living are not picking who you want.

You know, Payton & Co. don't really care for a lot of rookies on their squads, preferring free agents instead...

So why draft some big Nigerian who'll probably take three years to develop and will leave for a team, city like say Atlanta, D.C., Seattle or Dallas...

We better stop the run and rush the passer real good with these picks at DT...

David Onyemata Draft Profile

[WillSaints81]

Payton likes underdogs. That much should be known from this draft pick, and the FA pickups.

[jeanpierre]

Man, the Bengals are quietly having one helluva draft...

First Round CB Will Jackson, Houston
Second Round WR Tyler Boyd, ND
Third Round LB Nick Vigil, Utah St
Fourth Round NT Andrew Billings, Baylor

New Orleans Saints: David Onyemata, DE, Canada D Grade
Did the Saints mean to move up for David Onyemata? Did they hit the "trade up" button instead of the "trade down" button? That's my explanation for this. Onyemata had a solid East-West Shrine week, but I haven't heard any team ranking him as a fourth-round prospect. The Saints probably could've moved down and still acquired him. He's a project.

See that's where anyone not in the draft room has no idea. Someone could have heard rumors or taken calls about him and they felt he wouldn't be there for not to long.

Yes! This is my point. Y'all can pretend to be armchair GM's, but you cannot have more than a fraction of the information on these players than the people in that draft room. Then y'all ***** and moan about every pick made.

And, no, I am definitely not a "yes man". Far from it, but I am intelligent enough to know what I cannot have the ability to know.
