I think both WRs are gone when we pick making the JL decision even easier

Also apparently the Bengals are looking into taking Julio Jones at 4 over Green. They think that he fits their system well, they need a receiver, and there's a slight possibility that it might get Palmer to reconsider his demand for a trade, in part because Jones would not only give him a weapon but he would also serve as the anti-diva at Wide Receiver.

Well what the eff do they know?!

Maybe they're right. I disagree

As for Jones, that's not really a secret. I think I mentioned it myself here a while back

Palmer's not going anywhere. Even if he doesn't play for the Bengals, he's not going anywhere else

Actually maybe I went a little to far. The exact words when introducing the topic is as follows and keep in mind I'm transcribing here give or take a word or two.


Kiper: Todd, tell me if I'm hearing something that's inaccurate. I'm hearing from people in the league that have told me, don't be surprised if he drops to the 4th round.

McShay: I've heard the same exact thing. And it has a 100% to do with character. Lets be honest here. He's a first round talent. This guy has to much talent to get out of the first round if he's clean off the field. And he's not.

And every pick that he last beyond pick 32 has everything to do with Ryan Mallet and how he's carried himself off the field. Not just during the press..it's not weather you believe....it's not him missing a meeting, or being sick, or partying in Carolina. Its not just that. It's a lot of other things umm and a lot of its speculation.

You know I get the tweets and the calls and the emails and all that stuff, 'you're attacking Ryan Mallet.' No I'm not. All I'm doing is relaying an abundance of information from NFL teams, and you know hopefully he matures. You hope it's behind him. He's matured and you know sometimes this process can really wake up some guys. I mean you drop 3 rounds and loose out on millions of dollars in your rookie contract, you enter the league with a chip on your shoulder and maybe it's the wake up call that Ryan Mallet needs.

And who knows, he's as talented as anyone from an arm strength standpoint and with the size and everything else. He has a chance to get into the league and be very successful two or three years down the road if he can keep his stuff straight off the field.

It goes on for another minute or two but you get the point. But there you go. You no longer have to worry about me twisting words or reading between the lines because I have taken advantage of a caffine rush that encouraged me to type out two minutes of a podcast. And on a separate note I have no idea how court reporters do their job.

He might be in the skins top 5 list. I don't know. What I know doesn't have JJ up there, but I could be totally wrong

[skinsfaninok]

I'd look for us to take Baldwin or T Young in the 2nd

It was great and very interesting, informative and entertaining.
Although you had to be disappointed in Locker being rated middle of second round on Parcells big board. He was not very impressed with these Qb this year either. He did say this draft is deep in DL and OLB pass rushers. He really like DE Ryan Kerrigan from Purdue. Said he was the safest draft pick in the draft. Guaranteed NFL player. Hmm?

[skinsfaninok]

^ yeah I wasn't to shocked w Locker as much as I was with his rating on Cam.

It was a thing of beauty. Too bad the Skins will trade up for a risky QB and not take advantage of all of these 3-4 DE/LB types that they desperately need.

Good teams draft smartly and trading up is just plain foolish.
