Re: Your final prediction for #10
 

[quote=SmootSmack;796265]So, latest is, if things go as hoped for the Redskins...Lotus will get exactly what he's been hoping for.

So, that would be Jordan and Ponder

Though personally I'm not ready to shut the door on Quinn

But again, latest rumor Jordan and Ponder. I suspect a trade up for Ponder would be necessary[/quote]

I'd love to get those 2 guys. It would be the best draft we've had in a long time.

Getting Orakpo was amazingly lucky, but getting two players of this caliber...when was the last time?

Taylor and Cooley?

All we did on that draft was to help sterilize the gene pool a little bit.

Consensus here was yes.

I give you credit for trashing the picks, but then again, you're ALWAYS pessimistic! :P

Re: Your final prediction for #10
 

Fair enough.

Re: Your final prediction for #10
 

[quote=NC_Skins;796289]You poor soul. It could be worse, you could be stuck with Philly fans.






probably their reference to the "puff puff pass" because you would have to be high to select ponder at 10.[/quote]

according to Mike Jones, Dan Gosselin of the Dallas Morning News has us taking Ponder 10th overall...

Re: Your final prediction for #10
 

I'd really like to trade down but if we are stuck w/ # 10....

I am going against the grain and saying JJ Watt. He'll be a beast at DE somewhere and really meets our needs at DE which will also improve the NT situation and help out Orakpo.

Re: Your final prediction for #10
 

Ponder at #10 would definitely be a shock and a huge reach. I wouldn't like it at all.

I'm backing smoot on this one. This isn't happening, and I'd probably go head first off a tall building if it did. To back up what he said, here is something from another insider this morning in his response to the story being broke out from the Skins side.

[quote]I promise you this did not break on Skins side, this came out from Denver.. Either 2 drive up the Price or something, but story was real, really cant comment on it 2 much right now, 2 early n the am.. I would be shocked if Ponder gets taken at 10..or Dalton for that matter.. but neither of them will be there in the 2nd i dont think. Most of u are right, not in war room, so cant tell u THIS will happen.. But again they both signed off on Blaine.. They like Locker as they seem him as very coachable, n can work on his footwork to help with his throwing, samething that Kyle wanted to do with McNabb n he didnt wanna hear, so thats landed him at the spot he is n today.. a Rookie a lot more coachable.. and all of them have some flaws and no QB for skins at this point as a rookie is expected 2 come in and start day 1. we dont wanna turn him into a Ramsey now do we lol...stay good guys.. n as calm as u can. i know its a big day [/quote]

Interesting part in this is that it seems McNugget wasn't a coach-able person. No wonder they wanted his ass ran out of Philly. Also interesting to see what they think of Locker.

On a side note: Some of these guys that are insiders, are horrible as **** with their grammar. I would like to take this time and thank Smoot for his ability to write legibly. That is all.

Re: Your final prediction for #10
 

yeah I dont buy it either, I could see what Smoot said happening though. Cam Jordan at 10 and trading back into the first for Ponder.

Re: Your final prediction for #10
 

I could see a trade with NE, us getting the 17th pick, getting Jordan, and using NE's 33rd pick with Brooks Reed or Akeem Ayers, and 41 on Dalton or Ponder

That'd be remarkable, if possible

Re: Your final prediction for #10
 

Yeah that would be pretty sweet if it worked out that way. I do like the possibility of trading back with NE. I feel like NE is going to make an aggressive move to snag a top 10 guy like Quinn.

Re: Your final prediction for #10
 

^ is it the trade part or the fact that the QB's probably won't be there thats seems slightly impossible to you?

Yeah the Pats don't have all those picks not to try to move up into the top 10

Re: Your final prediction for #10
 

Ponder will be there when we pick in the second round.

Re: Your final prediction for #10
 

[quote=Dirtbag59;796401]Ponder will be there when we pick in the second round.[/quote]

I agree. But if we trade up just a few spots to make sure that we get him, I won't mind.

Sounds great except as long as were dreaming lets make that Locker at #17and defense at #33 & 41.

Re: Your final prediction for #10
 

[quote=SmootSmack;796286]well, it's looking like it may not happen now. But, it was Philly.

I'll just wander around, chill with the Jets fans, hang out with some of my colleagues, text Matty any news if I can[/quote]

That would have been cool. Sorry.

Do I own the wrong? Is it my wrong? Do I have a deed to this wrong? Or did you mean to say "you're wrong?"

Yeah, that'll teach yous to not say I'm incorrect. I'm like a one man wolfpack. NO ONE SAYS I'M WRONG>!!>!>! NOBODY

Also with the quotes at the end of the first paragraph do I put the second one after the question mark or before, because I don't think the words in quotes are meant to serve as a question.

Re: Your final prediction for #10
 

As of now all signs look to us taking Jones, who IMO is the more complete pro ready WR in the draft. The only two ways I see us not take Julio is if

A. We Swap w/ STL (#14) and acquire their 3rd. At #14 selecting Watt or Jordan
B. Trade Down w/ Pats or another team when Quinn, Watt, Jordan, Locker are still available

Re: Your final prediction for #10
 

really hoping for jake locker at #10 at this point with all the changes in projections for qbs lately. im going with locker.

Re: Your final prediction for #10
 

[quote=tryfuhl;796230]I definitely don't see us taking Ingram at 10.. and for no particular reason I hope that we don't take Quinn, don't ask me to explain because I really can't, just for some reason I don't think he'll work out for us. If we get him I'm all for him making it though.

Mayock's latest draft has us taking... Prince Amukamara[/quote]

Looking further into this I'd be perfectly fine with us taking Quinn.

Re: Your final prediction for #10
 

Looks like NE is trying to go up to 9 for Jordan

Re: Your final prediction for #10
 

with the latest rumors I'm just gonna go ahead an make Jake Locker my prediction at 10.

Re: Your final prediction for #10
 

Patriots really have their eye on Miller, but they won't move up to #2 for him. Jordan and Quinn are next down the list

Or they may just wait for Ingram at 17, expected that Miami will pass on him at 15 and likely take Pouncey (with Mallet a long shot)

But now the Giants may be looking to move up over NE and Miami to get Ingram

Any chance NE would trade with us? I'm reading in ESPN Rumors that there are rumblings of them trading with the Cowboys.

Re: Your final prediction for #10
 

[quote=skinsfaninok;796442]Looks like NE is trying to go up to 9 for Jordan[/quote]

Yep, I wouldn't discount them talking to us either.. or if Jordan wasn't the real target.

Re: Your final prediction for #10
 

If we could trade down with StL and then the Pats didn't get into the top 10 but they still had a guy at 14 we could pick up a few mid rounders

a boy and his dreams right?

Atlanta is looking for a stud pass rusher, I could see them as a possible trading partner too.

Re: Your final prediction for #10
 

Trading down is great and all but I think this years draft class is really weak after the 2nd round...... But then again what the hell do I know.
