Didn't address the secondary but as long as their DL does what it should, they'll be much better. Schaub throwing 2 pick sixes a game last year didn't help them either......

Early prediction?

I think we win but only because theres no way you can cover everybody on our offense now effectively. Here's hoping the OL gels well and can keep our boy upright.

Skins-35
Texans-31

Fair enough. I remember when people said that the Lions line was going to epic a while back and they were not. Unless the Texans get a decent QB, I don't think having all that firepower in the d-line is going to get them that far.

Daseal and I had big plans to get hammered. It didn't work out. Instead we're working on only like 2-3 shots of Fireball and a few beers. Damn, I feel old.

SOOO delicious. We'll work harder tomorrow since it's not a work day. Should be nice, have 2 one pound steaks and a couple filets that we're gonna' grill for lunch. If we haven't taken care of at least a half of that handle, we have failed.

Haha I'm glad I wasn't drinking tonight. I woulda smashed a 12 pack and fifth just between the murphy and moses picks. Way to keep it civil guys

Yup. Trying to replace DJax's production.

nfldraftscout.com on Spencer Long:

"He is a nasty mauler with aggressive hands and is the type of blocker who fights through the echo of the whistle and grinds on every snap. Long shows good quickness off the snap, can get to the second level and wastes little time attacking, but has stiff hips and lacks ideal flexibility when he gets out in space. Although he's not shy about engaging and getting feisty with his limbs, Long needs to do a better job staying balanced and latching on to control defenders. He isn't a household name, even in Big Ten country, but he might be the best interior blocker out of the Big Ten."

I don't know about the rest of you, but I wanted nasty players and apparently that's what he is. So I got what I wanted, in that respect. Is he healthy? Can he play? I dunno. We'll see.

I felt going into the draft that if the FO only picked players that I know something about then they must not be doing a very good job. We'll see about that, as well. It looks to me like the FO is just ranking the players and picking them as ranked regardless of any round projections by the so-called experts.

All I'm hearing is........"I'm mad because I don't know who these guys are and its' not a name I've heard parroted by draftniks/analysts the past couple months".......





If you guys want "instant contributors" from 3rd rounders, I have no idea what league you've been watching. Mostly everybody passed the first two rounds are developmental players. Hell, even some 2nd rounders are as well. If they catch on quick and are able to start, it's a bonus.

Is it ok that some not be happy with the pick? Lol. The guys who do this for a living were scratching their heads. There were without a doubt people there that could have started and contributed. Now maybe this guy can, but Signs point to no rite now. Again its a crapshoot. All we have to base our opinions on rite now are what we read and hear about him, and none of it points to get up and dance. Sorry.

TV analysts? That's the problem. They don't do this for a living. They do this for entertainment. It's a huge reason why most of these draftniks were picking Teddy Bridgewater to go first from the get go. Once they started to talk to REAL scouts and pro people, they quickly realized he wasn't the QB talent they thought he was and hence knocked him down their boards. (Mayock even noted as much) My guess is they aren't watching All-22 film nor do they have access to practice film like the pro teams do. A lot that goes on that these analysts simply don't get.


I have no problem with people not liking the pick. At least provide evidence to back up your case. Ex: LL/HTTR breaks down all-22 film during the season after games to make his case on particular issues.

[Dirtbag59]

If stats determined draft status Terrance West {RB Townson} would have been a top 5 pick.

Rushing:
413 Attempts
2,509 Yards
6.1 YPC
41 TD's

Personally, the only pick that should warrant a response like what we've seen from some people today is a really bad first round pick, since a first rounder is almost always expected to contribute significantly and even start. From the second round on, it could go either way in my opinion.

Yes it can, but go with the odds. Nix and the like. We reached tonite big time. Oh well. Hope to hell they all work out.
