R. Rich

Exactly? He had... +7 over his career best for receptions +19 over his career best for yardage -1.5 under his career best for average +5 over his career best for longest reception +1 over his career best for TDs That's an exponential leap in effectiveness?

Okay.... Todd Heap's stats W/out Mason: 2001 16 catches 206 yards 12.9 avg 24 long 1 TD 2002 68 catches 836 yards 12.3 avg 43 long 6 TD 2003 57 catches 693 yards 12.2 avg 33 long 3 TD 2004 27 catches 303 yards 11.2 avg 37 long 3 TD [INJ-missed 10 gms] W/ Mason: 2005 75 catches 855 yards 11.4 avg 48 long 7 TD

SS? Lawyer Milloy Vincent the answer? Yes Preston will work out @ C Losman will work out @ QB Our elite DE that great defenses tend to have? Schobel and Denney/Kelsay Replace Moulds? Roscoe Parrish

Yeah, but he sucks.

Good post.

Nothing wrong w/ a.......

I like some of the moves (Kemoeatu and Pickett @ DT, Runyan @ OT), but I don't like depending on Peters to man the LT position. What about the pass rush? I'd love to have a great rusher to use as a situational player or to replace the LEs on our roster.

If we don't address the lines in FA, then I'd hope we would either trade up for Ferguson or Super Mario or trade down and get someone else. Maybe DE Tamba Hali, OG Max Jean-Gilles, DE/LB Manny Lawson (pass rush), DT Gabe Watson, or C Nick Mangold (the last 2 could be acquired w/ additional picks in a trade down, should we find a good trade down deal).

Draft a projected 3rd round WR (of a very weak WR class, I might add) w/ our 2nd round pick instead of one of our 2 picks in the 3rd?

Not a bad choice. Now, if we do absolutely nothing @ all in FA or w/ any of our other draft picks to address the OL and the DL, then I think it's a bad move. I just don't think that will be the case.

Understood. Looks like we'd both take Ferguson. Too bad this scenario won't happen in all likelihood.

That's not true. His blocking is the one real knock on him, and not a big knock @ that. He's not a poor blocker, just not a great one. He's good, w/ room to become great. There's not a whole lot to dislike about Davis.

Stop being ridiculous, stuck. It was Powerade, not Gatorade.

Which team is moving down to give us the opportunity to get into the position to draft him? In the ideal world, he'd be my first round pick (just ahead of Mario Williams), but I just don't see him falling to the 8th spot.

Congrats! I envy you.

Seymour not only makes plays himself, but allows other to make plays by taking up blockers. He also plays DE in their 3-4 scheme, while Wilfork anchors the middle of their line. I personally think Seymour is the Pats' X factor, the one guy they need to be a championship contender. When he was healthy, their D looked impressive and they were a contender. When he spent some time out, they looked like crap.

If they're set on using the pick along the lines, I think a trade down is probably the best option.

While Trent wasn't another Elway, he does have a Super Bowl ring and a Pro Bowl berth in common w/ Elway. Albert, on the other hand, just plain stunk.

Let's wait and see what happens in free agency. If we don't end up w/ any significant upgrades to our lines going into the draft, then I may be inclined to agree.

My sentiments exactly! Unfortunately, also my sentiments exactly. Then again, Donahoe is gone...

That coin toss I saw him out for during a game this past season is a prime example of what playing like Campbell can do to you, long term. Man, did he look bad. That aside, he was awesome to watch back in the day. Too bad he's paying the price for his devil may care style now.

It's more of a big deal for DEs than DTs. Long armed OTs are able to lock onto pass rushers to neutralize their speed, kind of like what Walter Jones is able to do and what many feel D'Brickashaw Ferguson (whose wingspan is like that of a 7 footer) will be able to do.

He may have been considering him from a financial standpoint. Just a guess.

YES!!

Cutler actually had a pretty subpar Senior Bowl game, though he did have a good week of practice leading up to the game. Same w/ Brodrick Bunkley.
