  1. for those complaining about the picks we gave up to get him, realize we just got a starting OL in the FOURTH. He may not start the first few games, but I believe he will soon. And I'd like to see Remmers get some shots at backup LT
  2. would not be mad. We have 4 picks in the next 2 rounds, and there's a lot of value still out there. This is going to be a fun day.
  3. btw, it was very bad mojo to start this thread. Dex should have started it. It almost dooms us to picking La'el Collins in the first and him being found guilty of murder next week.
  4. Sat. night I didn't have any food in the house, so I took a can of pork and beans and a can of hot dog chili and heated them up. Sunday morning was AWESOME.
  5. no, I thought you were talking about Grady Jarret, my bad
  6. I heard him interviewed on CBS sports radio, and they introduced him as a possible first round pick. I don't see that at all, but it's possible he could go in the second.
  7. pretty good chance Trey Flowers will be there for us in the 2nd
  8. I emailed Fanspeak to ask them to correct the draft order after we got the extra 5th instead of 6th. Just took em a few hours to get it done.
  9. with 9 rookies, and the possibility of an UDFA or two making the team, I'm thinking there is a very good chance we give up a pick or two to move up a round in this draft.
  10. and OP, I wish I could be there to watch your head explode if we draft a DT in the first 2 rounds. We like to rotate 4, and 2 of our 4 are over 30. What's more, Star and KK 's contracts come up for renewal the same year, and we may not be able to afford both after signing Cam, Luke and Norman. There is a good chance the BPA in round one or two will be a DT and Getty will probably take him.
  11. 2013: going into the draft, our needs were plenty... DT, in fact we needed 2 OT CB WR DE (Hardy was yet to come into his own) S and here is what Getty took 1. DT 2. DT we did not have a 3. 4. Kugbila, OG 5. AJ Klein LB 6. Kenjon Barner RB He ignored every position that others thought were needs except DT, and he double dipped there. Barner is gone, Kubila may be, but Klein looks like he will stick, at least as a back up. We didn't have a 3rd, and we satisfied our greatest need, but this draft pales in comparison to 2014. In 2014, our perceived needs were OT..Gross just retired. WR...Smitty is gone CB OG DE...because of 20 percent of our cap space going to CJ and Hardy, and Alexander with a then 4 game suspension, it was a need. and here's what Getty got. 1. KB...one WR is set longterm. 2. Kony...he dropped to us...Getty loves pass rushers....he came on at the end of the year, and with Hardy and Alexander missing over 20 games combined, we got lucky here. Still, this position wasn't our greatest need...we thought. 3. Trai Turner. Homerun at a position of need. 4. Boston. ...even though safety wasn't listed as one of our primary needs, it needed a big upgrade....looks good so far. 5. CB was a big need, and picking Bene, who was not on most of our radars, looks like a homerun. 6. Gaffney, no longer on the team, could have been at least a ST contributer, basically stolen by the Pats. The UFA's aren't being considered here because this is only about how Getty drafts. So he completely ignored one of our 2 biggest needs, OT, but scored big at WR. Picks 3, 4 and 5 contributed hugely, and all were on our needs list. The only 2 "surprises" I see as far as picks we would call BPA instead of a need would be Barner, and Ealy, but both brought value, and Kugbila, who looks like a flop, but he was a hog mollie. Seems to me Getty doesn't take BPA, he takes BPA at one of our positions of need. I think his idea is asking, at each pick, who will help us the most this year and going further, which may indeed not be the BPA.
  12. anyone who thinks DG is going to spend our first round pick on a "ticking time bomb" is delusional. He just let a proven all pro DE go without any problem at all.
  13. Joe Person retweeted Jim Wyatt ‏@jwyattsports 51s51 seconds ago #Titans OLB Derrick Morgan is scheduled to visit the #Falcons
  14. Tania Ganguli whoa. RT @RapSheel: The #Jaguars have traded TE Marcedes Lewis to the#Saints.
  15. Jamison Hensley Ravens now have eight picks in the 2015 draft and that likely will increase to 11 with comp picks (which can't be traded)
  16. Phil Sheridan #Eagles loading up on guys with ACL surgeries. Kiko Alonso and Sam Bradford both missed 2014 season.
