seriously you guys sound like a bunch of fuging size queens

I'll be thrilled that we addressed one of our many glaring holes with a stud player, instead of some potential.

then I will sit back, crack a beer, and enjoy my draft day as we would have likely chosen a stud defensive prospect.

I don't want a repeat of last years draft where some of the picks made me cringe.

If we trade down because we have Carson then draft AJ then draft a stud DT in the 2nd.

< Draft boner

I think CJ will be great from here on out, and if we can get a stud DT that will only help him. But I think second city panther is right, A few more year's like 2010 and then we can start to see how CJ look's. He'll be fine, we still need that DT to cause havoc on the line to help CJ and all our DE's.

No brain fart. I agree with the offensive woes, but we all probably agree that we desperately need 2 DTs, a CB, and possibly a DE. On offense, we just need to mature--and possibly a QB in the draft. I even think RG is covered, but I could be wrong. While our defense and punting teams were on the field way more than the offense, we did well. I agree. We have good rotational depth DTs, but RIvera is about being the best on D. I don't see our offense being the best regardess of who we draft. But a stud CB and a stud DT in the draft and free agency, we are a force on that side of the ball.

FWIW, Brown improved last year, and will probably continue to get better. Give him a stud DT to play next to, and I bet he gets better still. This guy really didn't do his homework before making his list.

I would totally trade the #1 pick to the Bengals for Palmer, their 1st and 2nd.

Then you could still get a good stud defensive player with the #4 pick... and then get a good player with the #2.

Marvin is a stud. His strength and speed will command two blockers at least 50% of the time. He really knows how to alternate use of these two aspects of his game to keep 'em guessing and he excels at both.

There are a lot of "if's" in your argument. Why gamble on signing free agents who may or may not be affordable and may or may not want to play here when we could pick up a stud DT at #1?

Time for a uniform design thread!

Something with pleats like the Hornets' "costumes" back in year 1. We already have the shoulder padding, but wouldn't long sleeves that are rolled up to the elbow scream, "Look out NFL, here comes trouble!"?

      THIS MIGHT PISS OFF SOME STEVE SMITH SR. FANS:  He WAS detrimental to this team.  Sure, he is on the hall of fame ballot and is probably our best player ever--but he punched 2 teammates--and that is the tip of the glacier.  Remember, I watched him haze and belittle Dwayne Jarrett at an OTA. Jarrett even reacted by giving me a hard hand slap when I mentioned it to him--.  I know bullying when I see it (educator who has written books about trauma caused by abuse and bullying) I have commented on the fact that nobody seemed to be friends with Smith except Kasay.  He was a bully and the coaches allowed it. Bunch of Alpha males chewing the tall grass. Here is a list of all the WRs Steve Smith 'mentored" after they were drafted:  2003: Walter Young 2004: Keary Colbert, Drew Carter 2007: Dwayne Jarrett, Rhyne Robinson 2010: Brandon Lafell,  Armanti Edward, David Gettis 2011: Kealoha Pilares 2012: Joe Adams That is 10 WRs drafted and only 1 had some degree of success, Brandon Lafell, who averaged around 600 yards a season for 8 years in the NFL--it is noteworthy that his numbers increased after leaving Carolina for NE.   This proves nothing, but it is interesting and coincides with the list of free agents we brought in during that time.  My argument:  It is possible that whatever Smith contributed to this team could be a result of bullying others into more diminished roles--Smith called it competition, and in fairness, he was the hardest practicing player I ever watched at OTAs over the years.  But it seems he was Napoleonic in his approach to teammates, possibly damaging the unit and keeping young players from developing--transitioning from college to the pros must be intimidating--especially when an established player is constantly attacking (challenging, to Smith) you as you are trying to learn the plays and culture.  It was so bad when I saw him doing it to Jarrett, it pissed me off.  I think Jarrett was pretty slow and was unsure of the plays etc--it was his rookie OTAs.  This is not proof, just an interesting possibility.  If you have ever had someone at your place of employment with some authority start harassing you, you might understand how a 21-year old kid might feel.
