Martin please.

To be fair, strategies have changed considerably since those players were in the league.

I might be around. There's a home game the day before though. I was thinking of driving down to san jose to meet those Backers.

They showed highlight reels for EVERY pick until ours. Of course they cut to an RGIII phone call right after our pick. Ridiculous.

The Bills already have the #41 selection. I assume you mean the Bills would geet SD's #18, #49, and #110 (4th rounder)? Interesting. EDIT: ha, quick work Bandit.

Very cool, thanks for the link.

Kalil - USC Martin - Stanford (woot!) I'd be fine with both (obviously kalil would be ahuge get), to be honest. I have no idea how tomorrow will shake out. This is wide open.

I laughed when they called various linebackers, "true thumpers." This was all the rage in '09.

It doesn't say anything about non-green room draft picks. There are many picks, some of them top 10, who aren't in attendance. Will we have to put up with that those phone calls? I want answers!

Ugh. A week ago, I thought I had a grasp on all of our possibilities, each of which I could tolerate. These last few days, everything's out the window. I'm desperately hoping that the Barron buzz is Nix's attempt to lure a trade.

This really is the best thread since MarioWatch. I'm so glad I clicked on this.

This year. I predict 5th round.

This has been said before, but I would be ecstatic if we landed Kalil.

Oh please don't let this prediction come true

I hope this wasn't directed at me. I stated my hopes for the future of professional sports, not my beliefs on how or why the NFL operates, nor what is likely to happen. I understand that marijuana is illegal, and that is the primary reason why the NFL tests for it, and prohibits it. I completely understand the concern of many, who look at Mike Adams' positive test as a lapse in common sense. After all, it is pretty remarkable that he knew a test was coming during the biggest audition of his life, and still tested positive. That being said, I don't think it's absurd for posters to remark on how trifling these tests/laws may seem. On Mike Adams - Two distinct off-field issues should raise red flags. I wonder how far he falls.

I can't wait for the day when one of the major sports leagues says they'll stop testing for/prohibiting marijuana use. Hopefully it starts a trend. Ideally we'd see full on legalization, but I get more cynical as to whether it's possible as the years go by. Now, for Mike Adams, if I were him I would have stopped smoking for a month or two before the combine. Maybe he did and thought he was clean, but trace amounts were left...he is a LT after all, and it takes longer to get clean if you have more bodyfat... Anyway, I couldn't care less about prospects and weed. I know many players who - beyond being revered by fans and praised for their character - smoke (and smoked) weed regularly throughout their careers.

I hope you weren't referring to me. I have alway stayed far away from that wagon. I know I should care about the on-field stuff more, but the way he interviews doesn't sit well with me. Regardless, I just want a solid football player. I have a feeling the brass likes Reiff more than we do.

I like Kuechly, but am worried a bit by his speed. I hope his instincts overcome this perceived deficiency, should we draft him. I would be happy with this pick. Floyd's interviews make me uneasy.

Thank you SJ.

I was very happy with Hairston's performance last year. Like many, I also want to see us take two OTs in the draft, one high.

Glad you mentioned that. I get the same feeling watching his interviews.

Man this draft will be interesting. Who else is not enamored with Floyd?

Chris Brown basically said, "don't have this discussion, it's just due diligence." Oh well, at least he tried.

While I don't see statistics concerning the general college population in that article (it is quite possible I overlooked any), those reports often do things like include junior/community colleges in their "general college population" statistics.
