I don't want to see Matt Darr again today, or ever again

I'd only be interested on a 1-year deal. Fast, undersized receivers generally don't age well.

Did he suddenly learn how to cover running backs and tight ends in the pass game? I'll pass on a guy who couldn't cover in the pass game and is now coming off of knee surgery. Edmunds needs to work on his technique against the run no doubt, but I'll place my bet on a 20-year old athletic freak to learn some nuances and techniques to be a better player than a slow linebacker, coming off knee surgery to suddenly learn how to get fast.

For sure: Allen Maybe: Dawkins, Teller, Foster, Jones, McCoy It's obvious there's gonna be a lot of turnover on the offensive side of the ball.

O-line depth, LB depth. It's hard to say until we see who's cut June 1st.

I'm sorry for calling you out for deciding facts must adhere to your agenda. I'm also sorry the world isn't full of tough guys like you who can brush off trauma, oppression and racism like it's nothing. I'm also sorry the world and the people in it don't act and feel the way you want them to. Sounds to me like you also dislike Bennett for other reasons than him not being appreciate and knowledgeable of police procedure.

I'll try this one last time. I'm not arguing with you on police procedure. And I didn't say or claim the police did anything to him. They are facts. Some crazy stuff happened, Bennett got the heck out of there. The police chased him, caught him, held him face down at gunpoint where then a cop put a knee in his back, cuffed him and they checked him out for a few minutes before he was released. From Bennett's perspective, he was terrified. He probably thought he was going to be the next black person murdered by police. Saying that a black person shouldn't be afraid of the police and is acting like nothing more than a sensitive child is ignorant, insensitive and reeks of privilege. All I'm saying is to try to put yourself in his shoes. He didn't do anything wrong. He ran from the scene of some crazy stuff that had nothing to do with him. Next thing he knew he had a gun on him and wondered if he was going to die. He had every right to feel how he did. Whether you like the guy or not, how he felt is how he felt. I'm sorry if how he felt about the situation bothers you.

You're lying because you said Bennett fabricated the story and he did not. The police did what he said they did and whether they followed procedure or not, are you saying that Bennett has to feel a certain way about it, that he shouldn't feel afraid for his life? Who are you to tell him how he should he feel in that moment? I never said the police did their job improperly but I am acknowledging Bennett's perspective about the situation and he is entitled to that. He had every right to fear for his life in that instance. And what's with the insults? You don't know me. Seems like you are very quick to make assumptions and judge people.

Why are you lying? The video clearly showed he had at least one weapon drawn on him while he was on the ground. He was also handcuffed and held for several minutes before they released him. Considering he was innocent, that alone is a traumatic experience, but to be black, in today's climate and have that happen to you... I can certainly understand that Bennett might have been afraid for his life. He should have been. People have been murdered by authorities for less these days. Was he racially profiled? Maybe. I can't say for sure but other than that, everything happened pretty much as he said. As for this current instance, sure it seems like he acted like an entitled jerk, but let's wait until all the facts come out before we convict the guy. It seems like a lot of people on this board want to convict Bennett already and are taking great pleasure in him being charged. It makes me wonder why that is.

So are you guys in the "trade for Foles" camp then? He played brilliantly those last 2 games but leading up to that he was nothing to write home about. If Foles had been their starter the whole season I don't think they would have been in the same position, nor have the same results. Wentz was league MVP when he got hurt. He started the momentum and did most of the heavy lifting. Whether you agree with that or not, the point is the Eagles trading up for him was the right move and they are reaping the rewards.

Agreed. I'll take McBeane over Donahoe any day. As for Bledsoe, yeah he was an established starter but he was starting to look old/washed up. The team regressed to 6-10 in 2003 after 8-8 Drew's first year and his stats in 2003 were dreadful: 16 GP, 11 TDs, 12 Ints, 73.0 Rating. The warning signs were going off and that's precisely why they traded back into the 1st round for Losman. They knew they needed a QB of the future.

Probably. I'll need my support group during every minute leading up to our pick, wherever that may be.

If RGIII didn't get hurt and if Shanahan didn't play him hurt, who knows? Washington made the right move. They went and got their guy. What happened later couldn't have been predicted. I don't think this is a good example of a reason to stand pat. Exactly! It's a risk worth taking. If you are going to do it, go all the way.

As I'm watching everything play out thus far I can't help but think of the 2004 draft. In that draft there were 3 top guys at QB: Eli Manning, Philip Rivers and Big Ben. We were in the market for a quarterback that year as we could see after 1 year of Drew Bledsoe, that he wasn't the player he was before he lost his job to Brady. With an aging but solid QB, the Bills looked to the future and obtained a second 1st round pick giving us the 13th and 22nd picks in the draft- sound familiar? With 13 we picked Lee Evans, who as we know, turned out to be a solid pick. With the 22nd pick we took J.P. Losman. We all know how that went. Why didn't we trade up and get one of the 3 top guys? My point is if we want a quarterback, we MUST get one of the top guys. Can you imagine what our fortunes would have been if we traded up and grabbed Big Ben? He wasn't falling to us at 13 but he did go 10. It wasn't that far of a leap. With Big Ben taking over at the controls for Bledsoe either in 2004 or a year later, our franchise would not have had nearly the misfortune it did- maybe we would have even had a ring to show for it. Settling for Losman helped further set our team back for several years. Will all 4 of Darnold, Rosen, Allen and Mayfield work out like the big 3 in 2004 did? The odds are that 2 of the 4 will be franchise guys but we don't know for sure. Still, those odds are better than taking lesser prospects at 22 or in the 2nd round where it might take longer to figure out if they're good, because it will likely take longer for them to see on the field. No matter what, we have to move up and get one of those 4, preferably the one we like best. If we don't, we run the risk of reliving 2004 all over again.
