To my eye (amateur draft scout wannabe) Quinn looks plenty athletic enough to play 3-4 backer. And really, there are plenty of players at that position who spend very little time in coverage…Terrell Suggs, DeMarcus Ware…
If Quinn can rush the passer and play the run like most scouts think, I don't think his coverage skills will weigh very heavily in the eyes of most teams.
I do like Miller though (after some initial doubt) and believe that he'll be a player who can do everything…kind of like an Aaron Curry with better pass rush skills.
I believe I read so ewhere that Quinn wa faster and more powerful than Peppers coming out of college. He sounds like a monster to me.

First time I've actually taken a minute to read up on this guy. I'm pretty sure I want him to be our franchise QB. I dint care where they draft him. He is the guy.
-
The answer he gave 'four or five times' was perfectly reasonable. It seems to me that Mallett has every right to address that issue with the teams *first* if that's what he wants to do. Now, maybe he did the wrong thing in terms of NFL political correctness by cutting the interview short, but I'd guess that most of us would have done the same thing in a similar situation.
Of course, idiots in the media can't give the kid a break, so it really didn't matter what he said. They were going to make him out to be the bad guy, anyway.
^------ this.
I'm not a Mallett lover or hater. But I don't care who you are. If your being interegated by someone when it should be a simple interview you will get frustrated. He answered the question in a decent way and the reporters wouldn't let it go.

I went to the Maybin draft a few years ago (ugh). It was an awesome time actually. If it's something you really want to experience I highly recomend going.
At the time things were a little different than they are now. However I'd expect them to be similar to this years format. We got to NYC the night before and headed right for Radio City from the airport. I think we got there around 7-8pm. There was a line about a half a mile down the street (all the way down to Rockefeller Center) they announced that they would hand out wristbands at midnight. At that point they funnel everyone into the enterance of the facility. You get your wristband and get to go home or your hotel for the night. They inform everyone that seating is completely random. They will sit you and everyone your with together if possible (we met up with a few other Bills fans that night and decided to all go in together the next morning so we could sit together) we had a pretty big group so we had to sit in the 2nd last row in the entire place for the first round. After the first round was over we moved down to the 2nd level. (FYI, floor sears suck, you can't get that close to the teams enough to see anything they are doing anyway) I'd moving down to the 2nd level whenever you can, that's where almost everyone heckle Mcshay, and Kyper anyway (much more fun).
If I recall correctly thy handed out wristbands for the 2nd day at the end of the first day but you didn't really need them anyway. The place started out only about 3/4 full on day 2 and after about 2 rounds it was less than half (in fact they didn't even have the upper deck open on that day)
it was a ton of fun. Something I always wanted to see and I'm glad I did. They give you a gift bag with a radio headset to listen to all the commentating on all media covering the draft. They had 4x100+" tv screens all on different channels (1 on espn, 1 on NFL network, and the other 2 for player updates and highlight films) they also give you note pads to mark your notes and follow the draft picks and trades.
All in all one of the best times I've Had watching football coverage. It's similar to watching on tv except your there and it's just a huge party. You won't miss anything by being there as opposed to what you see on tv. It's like being at a sports bar with every channel at once, except on steroids. Later that summer I went to the HOF (Ralph and Bruces inductions) and they were both awesome. I'm now only 90 minutes outside the city when I'm at work so I'm thinking about going for a day or 2 this year as well(depending on my work schedule).
Don't listen to everyone that says it sucks. Trust me, you won't be upset you went.
Oh ya, unless I was in the wrong areas, they don't serve alchohol there so bring a flask and hide it on your person if you want to consume while your there.

The TE Green looks like a beast. I love the guy.

I'm obviously biased since it was on my radio show and I already wanted Fairley to fall to No. 3, but I was really impressed by Nick in the interview (the DT, not me). We had a ton of phone trouble on his end, but he answered several questions twice and even asked about my son when his agent had told him I had to haul the baby in with me to record the interview. I know this doesn't make him any better of a football player, but it encouraged me to feel better about him (even if he was surely coached on how to "come off,"). He mentioned technique and making a dominant impact as soon as possible.
Anyone, thanks for posting the link. I had Colin McCarthy from Miami on as well and I'm in contact with a ton of other prospects' agents. Any ones in particular you want to hear from?
Here's Colin's: http://www.nickmendola.com/draft-interview-miami-ilb-colin-mccarthy/
Thanks for listening,
Nick
Thanks Nick. I always enjoy what you put into the show. Unfortunately I'm not in town for long enough periods of time to get a feel for how everyone at WGR is feeling about some of these issues.
Anyway, thank you for what you put into the show. I'd love to get some interviews with some of the QB prospects. I understand Newton might be a tough one to get but some of these guys that are expected to go in the 2nd and 3rd rounds. Kaepernick, Ponder, Locker, even Gabbert(I know he's more of the 1st rounder but it would be great). Maybe some of the 2nd round prospects at DT as well.
Thanks

Kyle orton?
13 games
20 tds
9 ints
3600 yards
87qb rating
32 ranked defense (yardage and points)
Um. He did say with BETTER stats. I'm not sure about anything other than TDs and INTs really, but I'm pretty sure he had more TDs, and close to the same yardage. With 3 less gales played to boot.
Just saying

FWIW we could never get Bowers if we traded for Ngata. We would most likely have to give up a 1st round pick in the trade(he was franchise tagged, so unless Baltimore were to make a deal it's exactly what it would take). Doesn't he play DE in Baltimores defense? I thought I saw that somewhere. I don't follow the Ravens much, or dwell on previously screwed up drafts, decisions, trades.
-
I'm usually not much for hypotheticals, but I think this is a real possibility, so here goes...
Let's say we draft Cam Newton #3, and he spends all of 2011 on the bench (like many here would like to see). The team is so bad that we end up with the #1 pick in 2012. So we are sitting there staring at Andrew Luck with the #1 pick, and have an unknown QB in our pocket. What do we do? There would be options to trade I'm sure, but man, passing on Luck for a still unknown.
I know many people on this board would choke me, burn me, stab me, shoot me, drown me, and hang me for saying this about the ever mighty Andrew Luck, but he will be an unknown as well coming out of college. And to be fair, many, many people were in love with Jake Locker last year and where is he slated to go this year? Many feel he dropped to the 2 d or even the 3rd round in some mocks. Last year he was considered to be drafted #1 potential along with Bradford. Who's to say Luck doesn't fall off the Map next season?

Does anyone think that the Buffalo Bills franchise is so desperate for money that they need some sort of revenue from uniform sales due to the 2011 lockout?
Just speculation.
Well, Nike got the new uniform contract for the NFL and thier uniforms are put together a little differently, so MANY teams will have to make some small changes due to certains lines ans highlights to thier uniforms. I just think this is the Bills Org seeing this as a great opportunity to make defenite changes to a jersey that has not been liked by the fan base since it's inception.
-
Yes please. I'll take Rodgers and then Barton for a 2nd string LB
unless we plan on making a very strong play for Solei
-
Rice #16 overall, 3 rings
Holmes #25 overall, 1 ring and super bowl winning catch 2nd year in league
Irvin #11 overall, 3 rings
Swann #21 overall, 4 rings
There are others.
Seriously just go away, you're making a complete fool of yourself
actually, your making a complete fool of yourself. Every player you mentioned played in a team that was dominant in the time they played. The 90 49ers and 90 Cowboys all have multiple rings. The 70s Steelers and 2000 Steelers also have 6 or 7 rings between them. So by saying that thier WRs was the only reason they were dominant is an actual joke. FYI Andre Reed has much better statistics than Michael Irvin and he STILL isn't in the HOF and he made it to more SBs than Irvin did. It's all about being on a TEAM that is dominant. Our entire team needs to get better, from top to bottom at every position.

My guess is they take Peterson. You are completely 100% right. We will have a major need for a true shut down CB. Peterson might be able to play every position in the defensive backfield, and he might be the best player in the board when we draft by far. We still have Easley on the back burner so I don't think WR will be taken, however I would take it if we could even get a 4th for Evans(IMO, that's about all he's worth). Peterson could be the next shut down corner in the league. It's worked out pretty well for the Packers and Jets to have shut down corners that you can put out there against any teams best WR and not have to worry about it.
Very good post. I just hope everyone is preparred for this draft, it's Looking like some Bills fans will be upset.

Lee Evans would still suck but people will say that Green is taking catches away from him.

If this is true, I love this. Wanny is a great pull for us.

I had a teacher in high school, Mrs Tzetzo. I think she was wide or daughter of the owner. Not 100% positive but I faintly remember her being related somehow.
-
From the video, this guy looks alot like Schobel. I'd be a big fan of this guy. Unfortunately he looks more like a 4-3 DE. It really depends on what Gailey is gonna do with this defense.
-
Great article. For much of it I was thinking if Chan would be itching for a QB of thier qualities. Then at the end of the article I noticed how much he noticed thier top defenses. Let's hope he realizes that when he's on the clock with the 3rd pick in this years draft.
-
When I saw this topic, I was almost certain that the link would be to this cover:
what I love about this one is they have a large picture of it in the Hall Of Fame. It's really cool to see it. If you haven't gone, I suggest going. It's awesome.

If we went to get Plaxico, he can't play in Canada. It's federal law he can't leave the counry under parole with a felony under his belt and time in prison. The NFL would have to do a lot of paper work and it wouldn't be worth it.
First of all, it's only 1 reg game a season, it wouldn't be that bad of a deal.
Second, it really wouldn't be that big of an issue to get him authorization for work purposes. It would all be on his PO and I'm sure it wouldn't be an issue.
Third, the bigger issue would actually be Canada allowing a felon into the country. Anybody with a DWI knows that you can't step foot into Canada anymore because of that.
Unfortunately (or furtunate for us) there are holes that would allow Plax to play in that game. In the end though, it only 1 damn game who cares.

Ask Maybin's keyboard, it's been hit harder than a $5 hooker.
Lol. I as I sit here on my comfy couch I think to myself..... Does Maybin even know what a computer or keyboard is? Chances are he's doing all his tweeting from his phone. Kids these days, they can't even get up off thier lazy asses to tweet on the computer in another room.

This all points to me that the Pats aren't the classy team that many think they are. They are all cocky bastards and when they pretended to be classy by shutting up the Jets with a win doing the talking it all failed. I strongly feel the Pats talk possibly the most s$&t in the league, they just do it very intelligently and keep thier mouths shut at the right times. They are classless dirty players. I hope they all bomb the rest of thier careers.
-
Although I think your post has more holes than Swiss cheese I will agree with the fact that the final 4 teams available all have I credible defenses. Big Ben and Rodgers are good to great QBs but they also happen to be on great teams as well. IMO it's more of a fact that you really have to have a good to great overall team if you want to even think about making it deep into the playoffs.
I think it's also very funny that every team left has incredible shut down CBs/DBs and yet we all complain that we can't continue to get better by always picking this position early and often. The teams that are left are very stacked in the secondary, among other positions. But I hope it just points to the fact that we need impact players on our team. Regardless of position.
Bills May Luck Out!

^--------WINNER!!!!!
I've said this same thing before. It's rediculous to expect that Luck will be the "God" we all want next year when anything can happen.
