well.....if your sticking with Fitzpatrick.......then Welker is EXACTLY the kind of receiver you need.

Alabama's RB Eddie Lacy is a beast.....and will still be there when ST Louis picks at 16 and probably still on the board at 22. don't see them moving up to #8..........unless they have a different player in mind.

look at the bright side...... with Fitz, T Jax and a 2nd round rookie all fighting it out...... we will draft in the Top 5 next year.....

i agree, the system works for 99.9% of the players......therefore it is unlikely to change...... but Clowney still controls his "choice" of whether or not he risks serious injury..... in all fairness, he could still get injured if he sits out and just prepares at a sports training complex. but at least no one is diving at his knees. Clowney is a different case study than the other 99.9%, because no matter what he does this year, he can't improve his draft stock.....he can only hurt it. if healthy he goes Top 3. again, there is no insurance for "loss of value" (serious injury, but eventually you recover, like his teamie Lattimore or willis mcgahee)...the insurance is only for $5 million if you can NEVER play again...and alot of that will be used up with uncovered medical bills. his rookie deal will be around 4years/ $20 million FULLY GUARANTEED......set for life if invested wisely. it's a no brainer.....sit out.

To the credit of the NCAA, it has set up a program where a player can get a low-cost loan for the premium and pay it later. Typically, a $5 million policy will cost anywhere from $45,000 to $65,000, Salgado said. "This insurance program is in place to protect against a career-ending injury, but should not be confused with a 'loss of value' policy, which the NCAA does not offer, "http://sports.yahoo....-223714245.html

if you have a career ending injury....you can still go back to school and get your diploma......but the oppurtunity to cash in at the NFL level is gone or at minimum met with financial disaster. a serious injury could easily knock you out of the first round. i assume most juniors who come out early (a record 74 underclassmen declared for the 2013) NFL draft , do NOT graduate unless they go back at a later date and finish. i don't think these kids owe colleges anything....in fact its just the opposite...as colleges are enriching themselves at their expense. i recognize for the majority of scholarshipped players, a college degree is nothing to sneeze at. heck, there are hundreds of cases, where individual families are stuck with astronomical out of pocket medical costs/bills that aren't covered under the various insurances provided. all i'm saying is, for many elite TOP athletes, like Clowney who will go Top 5 whether he plays or not......he should lower his risk of injury by electing to sit out the year.....and just prepare for the combine at one of those sports performance centers.

In order to understand just how disgusting it is that the NFL team in Washington, D.C., is still called the "Redskins," you need to know the franchise's history. You need to understand that George Preston Marshall, the man who bought the rights to an NFL franchise with three partners and started the Boston Braves in 1932, was an avowed segregationist. You have to understand the franchise was renamed in "honor" of a man raised by white parents who adopted a Native American persona (scholars say he was impersonating a Sioux man). And when the team relocated to D.C. five years after it was founded, the city was controlled by Southern white politicians, and its most powerful resident, Franklin D. Roosevelt, invited only the white Olympians who competed in 1936 to visit him at the White House. "Hitler didn't snub me -- it was [FDR] who snubbed me," said Jesse Owens, who won four gold medals. "The president didn't even send me a telegram." So before anyone dismisses the outcry to rename the football team as another example of political correctness gone wild, they must remember the first NFL team to reintegrate was the L.A. Rams in 1946 and the last was Marshall's "Redskins" in 1962. But to fully appreciate just how revolting it is that the team still bears that name, you must know that Marshall didn't finally sign a black player because he was no longer a racist. http://espn.go.com/nfl/story/_/id/8944042/history-alone-prompt-washington-change-nfl-mascot

South Carolina defensive end Jadeveon Clowney will undoubtedly purchase an insurance policy to protect him against a catastrophic injury during a college football season that will do nothing to improve his draft stock for 2014. if it were my son.....i would tell him to sit out the year and prepare for the combine , thereby significantly reducing the risk of injury..... http://profootballtalk.nbcsports.com/2013/02/13/clowney-will-try-to-buy-insurance-against-a-serious-injury/

Levitre is special.....i'm talking Top 5 Left Guard in the league......he is exceptional at everything......he is flat out our best O-lineman.......he is worth franchise tag money......he will easily get a 5yr/$42.5 million contract or more somewhere else.....there is absolutely no one on this roster who can replace him.....tagging him is money well spent. Byrd on the other hand is easily replaceable (aaron williams, mckelvin,brooks, searcy) by moving over a corner. Byrd can't cover a tight end, cant cover a wide receiver, gets his azz faked out by RB's all the time.....his 5 interceptions, to me, is nothing special. all he is very good at is basket hanging 20 yards deep looking for over thrown balls.

maybe the NFL/NFLPA should offer/make mandatory the reverse of lottery winnings.... instead of taking the cash......they get it in the form of an Annuity that pays them annually over 50 years...... fat chance....it'll never happen....

100% he is staying......one way or the other......he either signs a long term deal or he will be Franchise Tag'd.... he's more valuable than Byrd. i don't want to lose either......but, it will be alot easier to replace Byrd than Levitre.

racism, bigotry, discrimination, hate crimes, insults ARE NOT FUNNY...... some words are just plain offensive.....try calling a woman in your life a word that starts with a "c" and ends in unt......and see how far that gets you. certain words effect different people in different ways...... if your wife, mother, daughter, friend are offended by your use of that word.....chances are pretty good you'll stop using it. the fact that many , if not all of these words have little to no effect on you.....doesn't mean that everyone else should share your view. you have every right to not be offended....and they have every right to be offended. your lack of empathy is a form of BULLYING.......but you probably don't see that either.

just because in your mind the "n" word is the most offensive word out there, doesn't mean all other words are not as offensive or insulting. The following is a list of ethnic slurs (ethnophaulisms) that are, or have been, used as insinuations or allegations about members of a given ethnicity or to refer to them in a derogatory (critical or disrespectful), pejorative (disapproving or contemptuous), or insulting manner in the English-speaking world. For the purposes of this list, an ethnic slur is a term designed insult others on the basis of race, ethnicity, or nationality. Each term is listed followed by its country or region of usage, a definition, and a reference to that term. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_ethnic_slurs

i think this arguement fails..... there seems to be alot of black comedians and musicians who regularly use the "n" word......and yet it is still considered racist and offensive by many. just because some members of a particular group are not offended by racist or stereotypical names, doesn't mean the ones who are offended, have no right to be....

every minute.....i love playing armchair GM......no man love for Mayock, he has hits and misses like the rest of em. i also get a big chuckle when Rich Eisen runs the 40 and they Superimpose that over the athletes running their 40, giving rich a 10 yard head start and watching him get run down at the finish....

"redskin" is a RACIAL descriptor.... the Washington Redskin name is every bit as RACIST & OFFENSIVE as using the "n" word.

Levitre is NOT going anywhere..... they will franchise tag him if necessary.....and he's worth it !! he will then sign a 5yr / $42.5mil with $20 guaranteed.

i think Tasker was ranked too high.......

as per rules......at the referee's discretion......they could rule the play a "score".....thats right, the refereee could rule touchdown or any amount of extra yardage he saw fit.

that player is O. J. Brigance and he suffers from Amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS) also known as Lou Gerhigs disease. There is no known cause for ALS. as far as Troupe is concerned, he is a bust from day one and in my opinion, will stay a bust.

woof, there it is.....
