Yeah I'm loving these thoughts. Unfortunately it makes too much sense and Jerry marches to his own drum.

Jets could use some D line help, S help, WR help

Nothing could make that happen. Watt is an all star trier a la Aaron Kampman. I hope he succeeds but for some reason I don't think he'll be a world beater in the NFL.
When will Mark Ingram go? I've always fancied him as a Packer, though I doubt Thompson would go RB in the first even if he fell all that way.

Please let the Skins draft Julio Jones. He is a beast. Reminds me of Andre Johnson.

The Panthers don't need to waste their number one pick on a quarterback. They just need a solid veteran who can run an offense efficiently. Either a DT or OL is probably their best bet.

Anyone see John Gruden make Cam Newton just look dumb in his latest edition of QB Camp? Oh boy, if Carolina takes him they may need to just keep the play calling to something simple like 'pass' and 'run'

I am going to be pissed if Carolina takes Newton. I think that is a waste of a pick. It wouldn't surprise me though. Jerry would pick him so he can up the ticket prices and still lose.

JB I know you're not a Mark Sanchez fan but here's a review of Christian Ponder from Greg Cosell of NFL Films. I was wrong about him, he may go in the 2nd or even back end of the 1st round
Christian Ponder, QB, Florida State (high-second round): Showed a strong arm against Oklahoma, with good juice on intermediate throws. Seems similar to Mark Sanchez. Good feel for the timing of the drop-back passing game and should transition well to the NFL. Reads coverage well, and can stick throws into a tight window, essential for an NFL quarterback. Needs to work on manipulating the secondary and eye discipline, and on recognition of safeties on deep throws. Must get quicker with footwork on his drop. A little uncomfortable in a muddied pocket. Feet have to calm down under pressure. More of a touch passer than a fastball pitcher. Comfortable throwing the ball to the outside with timing.

I didn't think it would have a huge impact but I agree with you. I'm just kinda meh even with the draft coming up. Doesn't help the Bears have the 29th pick.

I think it sucks on a grand scale. Until the settle this thing, I'm paying no attention to the NFL. Baseball lost me on the last strike, and life will be just fine without pro football if they don't have a season this year.

Mizzou grad and fan here and this just puzzles me. I understand he has a lot of the intangibles and I agree this is important, however, this seems like a huge work in progress to me. Not a start day 1 type guy which he will likely be if he goes to Carolina or AZ. But with that being said, if I was a GM I would take him over Newton...that wouldn't even be a tough decision.

I have nothing against Mark Sanchez. Actually like the kid. Im just sick of hearing it for the last two seasons about how wonderful he is from the NY Media when the kid has been average at best.
Everybody I talk to says that it wont be Gabbert. I dont read the mocks really, is that D. Hack doing these?

If Big Ben is the measuring stick for intelligence in the NFL, I want my years spent there back.

Well, I certainly do hope you are right and I am wrong!
Different topic: Mark Ingram, RB. Todd McShay just reported that he may fall all the way to the bottom of the first round or 1st pick of the second to NE. I know there is a bit of an injury issue, however, the guy looks like a stud. I'm a Chiefs fan and would have no problem with them taking him at 21. I know we have bigger needs and have Jamall Charles, but Thomas Jones is getting old and didn't show much last year. Someone to run between the tackles would be a big help....
