You aren't buying the "red flag BS" anymore? Guess who you have a ton in common with? Dan Snyder and Vinny Cerrato. You are in good company.

Believe it or not, leadership accounts for more than you can imagine. Teddy Bruschi comes to mind.

What are you talking about? Even after Gibbs left Vinny and Danny were going after the high character guys.

You only need 1 or 2 leaders on the field at a time. After that you need players. Ever heard of "too many chiefs and not enough Indians"?

Think about the guys that slipped in the draft because of Red flags and went on to be very successful.

Randy Moss comes to mind.

The red flag stuff Danny and Vinny glossed over were the diva and im looking to get paid type mentalities, not the i made a mistake will i make one again type.

Teddy used to be a heavy drinker and made mistakes with alcohol when he was young, its what a lot of kids do.
Bruschi has battled on, off field - The Boston Globe

Also the biggest knock on the supp. draft in my opinion is that the player misses out on a bunch of camps and stuff and basically gets a late start compared to all the other rookies. So if the lockout is prolonged the supplemental draft may gain parity to the regular draft since the rookies from the regular draft may not get a head start or may have a shortened head start. Does anyone know the rules on the allowed contact between teams and new rookies? This year could end up sucking for rookie development.

No contact allowed at all

I wonder where the team stands at NT (as in are they comfortable with Bryant). Because they could trade down to the bottom of the first round, get Phil Taylor, pick up a QB in the 2nd, and get probably another 2nd or a 3rd rounder.

Their preference would be to find a NT via free agency...but that preference might be out the window now

Word is NE is interested in trading the 28th pick. Hmm maybe we give up our 2nd to go get Locker in the late first..

Which way, because I've never known New England to be the type to move up in the first round.

Move out of the first

After the whole Jason Campbell era, I'd never thought I'd see another Redskin fan want to move up into the first round to grab a another QB.

LOL 2 times the charm?

Nick Fairely is quickly becoming the Albert Haynesworth of this draft. Undeniable talent but so many "ifs" being used to describe him. "if he's motivated" "if he plays hard" "if he's ready to handle the fame that comes with being an NFL player." Still it's kind of funny seeing Marcell Dareus pass him after our love affair with Fairley during the National Championship game.

It's hard to put a lot of stock in the wonderlic scores. Especially since Quincy Carter scored twice as high as Dan Marino. Either a guy can play or he can't. I see Patrick Peterson scored a 9. Despite that he'll go in the top 5, and A.J and Julio will go in the top 15. Speaking of 15, Terry Bradshaw, Jim Kelly, Randall Cunningham scored 15 on their tests. Ryan Fitz Patrick scored 3 times as high, I'll leave it at that.

This Kaepernick kid is the talk of sports radio in OKC, and Dallas.. I guess he may be moving up the boards fast.
