just so you know you're not losing your mind, somebody on another board also mentioned that ESPN initially reported a 1st round pick was involved and then corrected the story. |

Love this deal. A 4th rounder in a totally weak draft? No problems. A restructured contract to boot. I believe as long as the team wins, he'll behave fine. Just like Dillon. It's reported that BB got the greenlight from team veterans to bring Moss in. Brady probably got a boner when BB asked him. |

Quite honestly, I think Dillon's problems were worse than Moss's when we aquired him.

a 4th for Moss? great deal for the Pats. that's not a lot to give up for a potentially very large return. if it doesn't work out, it's not like they gave up the farm for him.

Dola -
Obviously, this is a great deal for the Pats. Cut him if he gives them any problems. In return for the chance, they have potentially the most explosive offense in the league with Moss and Stallworth starting (assuming Stallworth can stay healthy which is always the question with him.) Wes Walker shouild give them a scary 3 WR set. |

The Saints are officially the small college all-star team of the NFL from now on.
Besides Meachum and Pittman(from tOSU) they have drafted nothing but lesser known guys, including two corners and a OT that hardly anyone has heard of. But these guys have good physical talent, are very coachable, and played consistent good ball at their respective levels of college football. Could be the next Colston and Jahri Evans?

I wonder if the Bengals would have taken Jordan Palmer instead of Rowe if JP hadn't said that Cincy was the last place he wanted to go because he wants to compete against Carson, not play with him.

So anybody tell me anything about the Cards 5th round pick, WR Steve Breaston? They picked him pretty quickly when their pick came after not having a fourth so they must have been pretty high on him. I'm guessing he's a returner?

Breaston is a smallish receiver. He can be dangerous in the return game. He showed flashes of brilliance early in his career and never really matched the hype.

Thinking about it, that Moss deal is potentially good for both teams. Pats get Moss, Raiders get an extra 4th rounder which allows them to take a chance on Michael Bush and get Moss out of there.
Though I think with Moss and Meriweather, the Pats may have bitten off more than they can chew. But who knows?

I almost thought Mort and Jaws were going to come to blows over the Vick issue.

thanks for the Breaston info DT and HB. Guess the Cards could use a 3rd receiver type, certainly a returner, but would have gone elsewhere after not having a fourth round pick.

Baltimore finally ended Troy Smith's freefall. Good pick by the Ravens.

49er's Fans, here's what Scout's Inc. thinks of each of our prospects:
Quote:
There's a definite "Frank Gore" factor here at work. Taking injury-prone guys from big name schools. I really don't mind the philosophy, especially with late round guys. Most guys who get recruited to big schools do so because they have very good talent. Then, they get ignored in the shuffle due to injury or just having someone better on the squad. However, I believe that most injuries are more bad luck than bad conditioning (although each human being has different levels for how their muscles/bones react to contact). So, I can see a couple of these guys with legitimate talent working out to at least be good back-ups if not decent starters for the 49er's. Last edited by RedKingGold : 04-29-2007 at 01:48 PM. |

A kicker for the Cowboys. Hopefully he can add some stability to the position...

ILB HB Blades (picked in 6th by Washington) is a solid special team guy who I thought someone would take a look at in the late 4th-early 5th round. Nice pick by the Redskins (who did not have many).

Thanks for the info...those are some pretty high grades for Willis, Staley and McDonald. And you're right, Nolan is all about big name school guys. I love the Tarell Brown pick. If he stays out of trouble, he could be a starter relatively soon. The pick of Goldson is a little puzzling, but they must think he projects well as a safety. |

So whats the story on RB irons out of Auburn? bengals.com says he's a speedster with lots of variables to bring to the game. I've never heard of the guy. Anyone seen him play that can reassure me we haven't wasted yet another draft pick on a scat-back?

Also, the Niner's deal for Jackson is complete:
http://sports.espn.go.com/nfl/draft0...ory?id=2851912 So, this off-season, the 49er's have added: WR Ashley Lelie WR Darrell Jackson LB Tully Banta-Cain DT Aubrayo Franklin CB Nate Clements SS Michael Lewis All will probably start, plus draft picks. I know that the Niner's aren't locked in for the playoffs, but you all have to agree they have much more talent on the squad this season than last. |

Nice to see Kasey Studdard get drafted. He went to the high school I graduated from, and was one of the stars of the one time the team was decent. Hopefully he can help the pitiful Texans o-line...

Kenny Irons could be Rudi Johnson. Auburn packs flat out produce. You honestly can't go wrong with an Auburn back.

I think they take a RB here. Walker from ND? Wynn from UF? edit: Hmm...Clayton from KSU. I actually don't remember him from Rutgers bowl game, but then again, their offense did nothing that game. Another character concern apparently. Last edited by Logan : 04-29-2007 at 02:07 PM. |

It appears that Nolan isn't exactly taking advice from Marvin Lewis (who were both ironically on the same staff with the Ravens)

I'm thinking it's more his first name/initials being a position, kinda like QB Browns, etc.

With Moss going to New England rather than Green Bay, does that mean Favre will change his mind again and actually retire?

Interesting because Nolan hasn't even hesitated with sending "problem" players off the team. Let's hope that the new conduct policy caused the staff to do their research and decide that they want to stick with these guys. And I also work with a Thomas Clayton...he's a pretty nice guy. Quote:

What, are the Browns' and Cowboys' war rooms next door to each other? Adjoining windows?
