If the bears draft Mercilus, I'm immediately buying that jersey.

Exactly, the chances of a holdout have gone to zero because "f*** you, this is what you get".

 

And the dollars are a fraction of what they used to be.

You need to buy it in his size, too.

If the Dolphins draft Tannehill I'm immediately buying a Mitchell and Ness Dan Marino jersey.

Rumor had the Pats willing to trade their #27 & 31 picks to move up in to the 10 range. I'd love if KC made that deal with them at 11.

Well Id guess that means Pats take Barron which means Brockers likely not there for Bears pick.

Really?

 

I would think it would cost a bit more than that to move up 16 spots in the first round.

Yeah I would think you would have to throw in a 2nd or 3rd as well.

Two first round picks though.

 

From the Chiefs perspective, i'd much rather take an OL + DT in the 27/31 (Konz/Martin + Worthy/Reyes) spots than DeCastro or Poe/Cox at 11.

Then there's no reason to trade him. As noted, he may hold out, but missing the season is not going to be an option for him, and the franchise tag is still more money in 1 season than he's made his entire career.

Exactly. I don't think most people realize Forte hasn't made $4 million total, bonus and incentives included ,in his 4 seasons with the Bears. His back ups were making many times more money than him. He'll take the $7.7 million eventually. He's been vastly underpaid.

That will not be good enough to get top ten.

Coby Fleener out of Joliet Catholic, though not a priority need, is going to be a beast Tight End, so if the Bears took him I would not complain. Added benefit of co-worker being best buds with him which would mean tickets!

 

It'd also be neat to see Fleener land in Indy with his QB Luck at the top of the 2nd round, but I'd be surprised to see him past the 1st round.

 

 

For once I completely agree with Steve.

 

Of course, I want him to go to Indy in the second round, but Fleener has a real chance to be a good TE.

Less than 24 hours away from the MOST EXCITING EVENT IN ALL OF SPORTS.

 

I joke.

 

Good. Modern day draft = zzzzzzzzzzzzzz. Thanks ESPN! Back when the draft had more rounds I think it ended much quicker than this. If they did away with the draft Mel Kiper would have to bag groceries.

 

It's weird that my Lions have to wait so long to draft. Hopefully some people slip like DeCastro, Gilmore, Jenkins, Glenn, Konz, and others.

QUOTE (lostfan @ Apr 25, 2012 -> 08:18 PM)
If Emery can pull off something the following dream scenario:

 

-Trade Matt Forte for a 1st

-In the 1st, draft a DE and WR or OT

-In the 2nd, draft a RB

 

I might consider changing my sexual orientation.

 

No GM would take that. RBs aren't highly thought like they use to. You see less teams drafting a RB in the 1st round. Forte wasn't a 1st round pick.

I remember when Millen was their GM and their 1st picks for like 3-4 years straight was a WR.

 

Nooooooo the browns get Vikings no. 3 pick. Trent Richardson scheduled to rot in Cleveland :(

Why the hell did the Browns trade up? The Vikings weren't going to take Richardson. Just to keep Tampa from trading up to three?

 

Edit: I guess it makes sense but still caught me off guard at first blush.

Hence the word "dream"

What a dumb trade by the Browns. They give up 3 additional picks to move up 1 spot to get a guy that's probably gonna be there anyway? WTF? Why? I'd have given up the #22 pick plus those maybe, but not the #4!

Griffin's wearing Redskins socks.

Trent Richardson would have been there at pick 4.
