If Richburg isn't the team's tart, then who is? My money is on a kicker.

Probably better to wait for the cut. I think a 3rd is way too much. Fifth or later and I'd maybe get on board. Also depends on the salary he's pulling,..

uh.... what?

I'd say about $2.5 million too much.... but at least he's still here.

There's only one ball, I don't see the point of another high draft pick on wide receiver. If a wide receiver, Cooper or otherwise, is the best player on the board, I hope they trade out. I know nothing about the prospects so far, but a non-tackle offensive lineman in the top ten of the first round?.... if that guy isn't a Steve Hutchinson clone, hell fuckin no.

To draft a guard that high, he would have to be a future hall of famer. Otherwise there's no way a guard is worth a top-10 pick.

yeah, and he's white too!

I was there for hours, and never saw LT lift a finger. It was the most incredible display of apathy I've ever seen. And then to see what he did when the ball was snapped for real, oh my god. I'll never understand how he did it.

I remember going to Giants training camp with my dad, around 84 or 85, and he pointed out to me how lazy LT was... "would be the greatest player ever if only he had a work ethic", he told me. And even without the work ethic, he's in the discussion. I think he was the most natural, prodigious talent the NFL has ever seen.

they did, and even when he started at linebacker, he was a pass rusher on passing downs. He was never a great pass rusher though. Its those legs of his, the guy is all legs. Not a good build for a pass rusher.

No, I really thought he did his best work at SAM too. Good all around player though, he could hold his own at a few positions in the front seven.

That's about what its going to take....

Sam Mills, um.... and.... uh..... l'll grant you that Sam Mills may have been one up on Harry Carson (whom I am too young to have really seen play), and I know there were a couple other guys down there that were on par with Carl Banks, although their names escape me, but how in the world did they put that group over ANY unit that included LT?

No idea how NFL Network put the late 80s Saints backers ahead of the Giants linebackers from that era... NY haters I guess. LT, Carson, Banks.... eventually guys like Pepper Johnson coming off the goddamn bench.... how is that not the greatest linebacker corp in history, hands down?

He makes some bad reads, but I have absolutely seen him blow up sweeps and read options (especially sweeps). If he weren't making plays when the ball is in his area, he couldn't rack up that number of tackles.

True, but you can point at injuries for those throwaway seasons. And all defensive linemen, even the great ones, have seasons like that.

This is true. His football IQ is low. Thats my only apprehension about the guy.

I don't know Driz, not that the DL is a stat-driven position, but show us sacks, tackles, tackles for loss.... some of these guys have had one season on par, but none of those guys but Watt really stack up against JPP over a span of seasons.

"Infinitely?" Holy exaggeration, Batman!!!

all joking aside, the elite CFL players are usually at least serviceable NFL players, and some of them have even been very good.

I think Johnny Manziel's drug of choice is Johnny Manziel.

this makes my weekend

I've got to read that. I learned a lot about quarterback play that season. Warner's play in 2004 was the ugliest 60%+ completion rate I've ever seen. Eli had some real stinkers when he came in, but he also had a few games in which it was obvious he would play at a higher level than Warner, especially in less than optimal circumstances. (Warner did have spectacular touch and accuracy when he had time and a target though.)
