I just don't think a guy that into pot is going to have the drive or hunger to really push it hard in the NFL. It's just a job for him that he'll be able to do so-so for a few years while he's young then he'll disappear by age 27 or so. A guy like that will never have a long career like Charles Woodson or Ray Rice.

He said he's changed, we will have to wait and see (he did not get into any kind of trouble after the drug arrest in Baton Rouge). The Cards did have a lot of stipulations/conditions such as random drug test, meetings with team officials and doctors regularly, and so on for him.

Im not sure about Montee Ball over Eddie Lacey but i was super stoked to get a RB. Sooooo needed. Not happy about our third round pick but i think Quintarus is a steal in he fifth. Like 3 of our four picks so far.

Any Wisconsin fans that watched him all year? Looking to get some more takes on Montee.

Eagles got a strait up steal with Matt Barkley in the 4th. Jets are so fucked. 6 QBs on the roster and Geno Smith blows. Tim Tebow is the best QB o that roster :p

Patton and Lattimore? Will take that. Baalke has been killing it. The entire NFC West has, really.

Congrats on Marcus. I am a bit envious as i think he is fine. Sure he blew out both knees but i think his upside is sky high. Skyscraper high.

Broncos trade for LB Shaun Philips out of SD who had 9.5 sacks last year. GREAT pickup there. Not sure what the trade was but we also pick up a WR here in the 5th.

Sure isn't acting like he's changed much. He might not fail drug tests, but that wasn't his only red flag.

Demps...not Dempsey. Great trade for Pats. Demps hasn't played in what, 2 years when training camp starts? lol.

he was drafted last year but put on IR during the preseason as he spent the offseason at London and wasn't ready to play ball.

FSU shattering the per college record as they just had an eleventh grabbed including a kicker, bama and lsu are next best with 9 each and only a couple picks left.

That's why I said in my previous post:
we will have to wait and see

Hopefully, former LSU CB Peterson who is on the same team, will able to help him do the right thing and so is Kevin Minter. He has the talent and especially, the "knack/gut feeling/instinct" to play in the next level. He could be the contender or pretender, the choice is up to him.

If he fail because of drug related or off field problem, he will have no one to blame but himself because he had more than enough chances (plural - from LSU to Cards) to redeem.

Now that it's all over I feel like the Ravens found someone for all of their needs on defense but I'm worried about next year's offense. They only picked up offensive tackles in the fifth and sixth rounds and didn't grab a receiver until the 7th.

I had to work all day and just got to look over the Bears draft. It's being dogged in some circles, but I think they did a pretty good job.

Angelo was concerned with a player's floor above all else, while Emery's first priority is a player's ceiling. Today's NFL needs explosive athletes, and that's what Emery seems to be targeting.

Bears didnt make any big mistakes but didnt really make a splash either. Long has bust written all over him though was would have probably been there at the start and middle of the second round. Wasted pick probably.

Has the team already given up on Carimi? Man if Williams and Carimi hadnt been such abject failures we could have picked up a better value pick.

I do like the direction they are going in roster wise.
I like the LB Bostich and can see him being a starter.

Out of curiosity - why do you think Long has bust written all over him? A lot of NFL guys had him rated pretty highly. He has as high of a ceiling as any OL in the draft according to some. Plus - he's nasty. Enough with the OL oatmeal like J Webb.

The biggest knock on him is lack of experience; the Bears might gave to wait a year for him to develop. Next year he might have been top 10 or even top 5.

Well I may be a little harsh the guy threw away a promising baseball career and has substance abuse problems. There is so little tape of the guy the bears dont know what hes capable of. He got into the first round on name. Guy would have been a third rounder if he didnt have his dads last name.

I really hope he has a mean streak and isnt soft. Guy screams alonzo spellman to me lol
