Be sure to watch the East-West Shrine Game Today at 4pm on NFL Network.

Here's a link to the roster and coaches.

The Shrine Game is far older than the Senior Bowl and typically features more non-orthodox players from the Collegiate level than the Senior Bowl(which is normally more big names). Should be a good watch.

Discuss.

Speaking of the TE that Rivera is looking for, I've heard mention of DJ Williams as someone we should look to draft in the 3rd. WHY!? I've watched a bunch of video on him and he's not really that good at anything. He's small, he blocks ok for his size, but NFL defenders will eat his face. He body catches every other ball. He doesn't run particularly well after the catch, he often catches and then has an awkward transition to running, he's not particularly fast. The only thing I can say positively about him is it looks like he gets ok separation, but I only say that because most of the plays where the ball is thrown to him, he is pretty open. I don't know if it's good separation skills or just blown coverage. I'll keep Barnidge and Rosario any day. Rosario's hands have hot and cold streaks, but I really hope they work on developing Barnidge, he could be very good.

Let King go. I'm tired of the 3 yd passes to him and especially tired of the stupid TD celebration once or twice a year.

So if Tyrod Taylor drops to our comp pick do we pick him up? Harbaugh likes him. Reeves likes him. He can obviously run but they say he keeps his eyes down field looking for open recievers and uses his legs as a last option. Rather have him than Pike and Moore. Vet, Jimmy, Taylor.

No. Hopefully this team understands those gimick QB's don't work out in the NFL.

Pretty sure many people on here will see that as Armanti Edwards Part Deux. Except he's more Pat White in terms of not wanting to switch from QB. His main downfall is his height. He's barely 6ft 3/4in. His Athleticism is worth a second rounder, but being contained in a pocket might force him to drop to the 4th. He's got high value in the the 3rd day. For him to be successful in the NFL a la Drew Brees (another 6ft qb) he'll have to find throwing lanes in the pocket. He's done a good job with it in the college level (all his Olines have been pretty tall), big arm, really good footwork in the pocket (WILL step up and will only run if he gets flushed). I just don't see it. If it happens, we'll have a Troy Smith type player.

Definitely will check it out...keep an eye on Marvin Austin...could be an option if we can get back into the second round. I will also be looking s athletic tight ends who could be that all around guy that Rivera is looking for.

keep a lookout for Cameron Jordan out of USC, real athletic & might be had in 3-5 round

      If you wanted Danny Dimes here’s the chance

      Did I mention that he was on worse teams?  Yes.  Do QBs alone win games?  No.  Did Cam, on a much better team with some awesome defenses ever have 2 consecutive winning seasons?  No.  So now you are cherry picking,  If the overall stats are similar, you take a look at him.   I told you that you look at his skill set---but you wanted to tell me that he sucks and mentioned performance.  I just presented performance--and his numbers are very similar to Cam Newton's numbers--a player most call the best Panther QB ever--and I agree.  By the way, Fumbles are evidence of how bad his OL has been--so you are saying that a QB in a situation worse than Cam's who has stats and physical abilities very similar to Cam's should not be given a look when you have Bryce Young at QB?  You are going with that story because you simply talked your way into a corner and now you are trying to save face.  No good GM would do what you suggest because "he sucks."  Sorry, but the facts do not support you.  But no matter what eye-opening details I provide, there are some who are going to go their Google machines to try to find some reason to support an ignorant approach to developing the QB position.  You ignored the similarities to Cam and went cherry picking.  I know what you are doing--but I am only suggesting (as I have stated before) that we bring him in as one of three approaches to resolving the QB issue. Compete with Bryce and draft a QB. Basically, I am suggesting that Jones has the potential to replace Dalton and compete with Young.  He is a battered stock that could get better in a better situation--that is human nature.  Instead, I am called a Daniel Jones lover and superfan.  That is good debate--But a real sign of immature thinking is the inability to LOGICALLY consider alternative perspectives--which is actually a characteristic of intelligence.

      I don’t get this, I know that is the popular thought process but I just don’t think it’s true.  For instance head to head last year the ACC had a winning record against the SEC.  The SEC had a losing record in bowl games. This year so far the head to head is 2-3 SEC and that’s with a fluke Vandy win in week one.  I see the ACC taking another head to head winning season after next week.  The SEC is mostly hype with 3 good teams, in my opinion.  But to say any ACC team would get exposed I believe is a stretch

      What the hell?  How is presenting Cam's stats hating him?  The point is not to hate Cam, it is to show you how similar Jones is to him and why you take a look at him.  I mentioned Jones has the skill set to take a look--the response is, "look at his 5 years of performance."  So I compare him to the greatest QB in franchise history, and the stats are similar--while Jones was in a worse situation.  Now that is "hating?"  Come on.  This is a meritless, ignorant, personal attack because you are wrong.  Just stop it.  You all attack the poster when you have nothing.  So saying "we should consider a guy with similar stats and size to Cam Newton" is now hating Cam and making me a Jones super fan- that is just stupid.
