NFL 2013 NFL - Off-Season & Pre-Draft Discussion

[Blacky]

Damn, I like Sharrif Floyd.

Ansah will NOT go second round. He was probably the best player at the senior bowl and it's a weak draft.

Someone will reach for Glennon

Someone will definitely reach for Glennon considering NC State opted for him ahead of Wilson.
Trying to work out who the PCJS curveball will be this year...I can see us trading up in the first to get a quality DT or even a DE and shift Red back inside.

Good year for it, plenty of DE and DT talent available, those positions are the strength positions in the 1st round this year IMO

Looks like he's bitten on everything he's heard...

 

[manureid]

Why would the Raiders take Geno Smith.....god I hope they don't.

I guess idea being trade old Palmer and give Pryor who they inherited competition with a qb they scout.

But it's hard to tell this early if it's smoke screen or not

 

[superfreak]

Really like this hire!

Geno Smith?!?!

Surely we aren't that daft.

 

[Blacky]

Matt Miller is a sword

 

[Dirty Bird]

I hate it when 2 people in the game have the same name.
Keep on thinking Matt Miller (the gm) is Matt Miller (the Boise State WR)

 

[TheGreatBarryB]

Really like this hire!

Doesn't deserve a job after his "effort" in Buffalo. Well suppose it's only ST. Gees his stock has gone way down.

If you're thinking of the former Lions GM, his name is Matt Millen

 

[Dirty Bird]

I should've kept an attentive eye. He's a scout on the twitter quotes above, not a gm.
Eh, Just been skimming these threads recently.

Sam Farmer ‏@LATimesfarmer
Bumped into Raiders owner Mark Davis, and he gave me best SB line: “I don’t care who wins. I just want the Harbaughs to have another son.”

Wow. Not exactly a vote of confidence for our own Dennis Allen.

 

[Joshen]

And....Assistant Head Coach, future Interim Head Coach

Similar role to what Tom Cable does with us, OL and Assistant Head Coach. And regarding the above I'd be very put out by that comment if I was Dennis Allen.

On a funnier note, while many hate him the video here:http://bleacherreport.com/articles/...e-best-shut-down-cornerback-on-bourbon-street is worth a watch.

I watched that and I do belong in the 'I hate Sherman camp' but that did change my perception of him a bit, I still wish he would talk less trash on twitter though needs to keep that stuff in game.

 

[Exe Gesis]

Just as well they didn't send Trent Williams out there to ask questions, he'd have bitch-slapped everyone, not just people who said bad things about him.

 

[DaSawx]

Devin Hester has told Tribune writer Vaughan McClure he wants a fresh start.

Could see him returning a few for someone else next season.

 

[Exe Gesis]

How about Oakland, Devin

 

[DaSawx]

Probably only need 5th-7th rounder.
