Is that Monroe on the phone...?

Crabtree and Holt. The Jags could actually have viable WRs!

Troy Williamson?

Another high character player will be playing professional football in Ohio next year..

Is it Eugene Monroe time?

Yes, Dirty S. to the Jets!

Profootballtalk is saying the Browns are hoping to trade down to draft Orapko in the teens.

Crabtree?

NOOO!!! O well, there's still other guys out there...

Houshmanzode, Branch, and Crabtree, now that is a receiving core.

I hope so. I know the Seahawks traded Julian Peterson, do they need a replacement for him?

YES!!!!

Curry isn't on his phone...

EA Sports is having their own 'draft experience' where the show each draft pick, analyze the player, and reveal his '10 rating. Here's the link if you're interested: http://maddennfl.easports.com/draftpicks.action

I know this means very little, but Matt Stafford is has a 79 madden rating and Jason Smith, an 84.

AT&T... Amen To That!!!!!

Hopefully the Chiefs take Tyson Jackson here!!

Jason Smith... That's one OT down...

11. Brian Orapko 28. Clint Sintim 42. Jared Cook

http://walterfootball.com/jasonpeterstrade.php The Jason Peters Trade and the 2009 NFL Draft - My Thoughts I don't think I've missed an NFL preseason game in years. When I tell people this, they usually give me a dirty look or ask me if I've recently escaped from the local mental institution. I then have to explain that I watch the first three weeks of the preseason (the final week doesn't count because no one plays except for practice squad guys) for fantasy purposes. For instance, in 2007, I noted on this Web site that Tom Brady's first read on almost every play was Wes Welker. I named Welker one of my fantasy sleepers and told my readers to take him in the middle rounds. A few months later, Welker finished the year tied for the league lead in receptions with T.J. Houshmandzadeh. That's why I'm more than happy to tune into a Browns-Lions preseason contest. When these people hear my explanation and decide not to have me committed, they usually ask if I watch the Pro Bowl as well. To that, I smile and proudly boast, "I've been a football fan since I was about 10 years old, and I've never watched the Pro Bowl." The Pro Bowl is a joke. Some of the top players opt out. Those who go don't really try. It's not even a real football game. And it's impossible to bet on because no one puts forth any effort. As a degenerate gambler, I do not find this appealing. However, the reason I hate the Pro Bowl more than anything is that there are far too many crappy players named to the two squads. I don't think the NFL should strip the fans of all of the decision-making, but it's a joke because there too many clueless voters out there. Jason Peters is the perfect example. Peters, a 6-4, 340-pound mauling left tackle, is entering his sixth year. In 2006, he started all 16 games and surrendered just two sacks. I later wrote of Peters, "[He] has emerged as one of the top left tackles in the NFL. Unfortunately, Peters is holding out because he wants to renegotiate his contract. I say pay the man. Peters is in the middle of a 5-year deal worth $15 million. He's one of the best players at his position, and he certainly deserves a lot more than he's currently making." So, should my Pro Bowl voting rights be revoked as well because I considered Peters a top talent? No; not for this reason anyway. Since the 2006 campaign, Peters' play has regressed exponentially. In 2007, Peters gave up six sacks in 15 contests. And last year, things got downright ugly, as Peters surrendered a whopping 11.5 sacks in just 13 games, good for tops in the NFL. Peters was also whistled for eight penalties, a career high for him. Now you see why I hate the Pro Bowl so much. How could the league's worst left tackle, statistically speaking, be voted in as one of the premier players at his position? Moreover, how could Andy Reid give up the No. 28 overall selection in the 2009 NFL Draft for him? You can suggest that Reid was too busy waiting in line all year at Geno's Steaks to watch film on Peters or even check his stats, but doing so wouldn't be too classy. I mean, what kind of Web site makes fun of fat coaches and NFL analysts who can't even come close to speaking proper English? I don't like this trade at all for Philadelphia; the team would have been better served trading up for Michael Oher or William Beatty, or simply sliding Todd Herremans over to left tackle. As mentioned, Peters gave up 11.5 sacks in 2008. Newly acquired right tackle Shawn Andrews, coming off knee surgery, allowed 9.5 sacks last season. Either the Eagles missed the 2008 season entirely, or are trying their hardest to get Donovan McNabb injured so the highly anticipated Kevin Kolb era can commence as quickly as possible. On the bright side, they'll probably serve McNabb some Chunky Soup while he's lying in bed at the hospital. From Buffalo's perspective, the deal was a lucrative one. The organization avoided overpaying for one of the NFL's most overrated players. The Bills can take Oher or Andre Smith at No. 11 overall. They'll be able to spend the No. 28 selection on a much-needed pass-rusher, such as Larry English or Michael Johnson. And now, they'll be free to spend their second-round choice on the best tight end or linebacker available. Seems like a fair trade for the Bills. The only downside to the deal is that their fans will have one less Pro Bowler to root for. Not that anyone watches that stupid game anyway.

http://www.profootballtalk.com/2009/04/15/...hefter-to-espn/ Sources: Schefter To ESPN Posted by Mike Florio on April 15, 2009, 8:39 p.m. EDT Several league and industry sources have told us that Adam Schefter, who still is under contract with NFL Network, will join ESPN later this year. Schefter is still under contract with NFLN, but he has not appeared on the air since early March. Schefter told Neil Best of Newsday on March 23 that he remains under contract with NFL Network until the middle of August. It remains to be seen whether and to what extent Schefter’s arrival affects the current NFL insider lineup at ESPN. At a minimum, it could make for a spirited-to-the-point-of-awkward in-house rivalry between Schefter, Chris Mortensen, John Clayton, Michael Smith, and the army of beat-writers-turned-bloggers who compete to break news. How many people does ESPN need to report breaking NFL news?!

Hopefully Puke Dreston realizes that he is going to a team that had a worse record than the "desperate" Bills. Also, that douche probably cost the Bills in their game against New England. Good riddens, you oversized numbnuts! Duke, what kind of a name is Duke?! It sounds pompous, pedantic, and homosexual (no offense to any tbders named Duke by the way). The Bills would of been better off if Duke's chauffeur or boyfriend were starting at center.

I saw it too. I did not read the novel, but the movie was tremendous. I think it made perfect sense, but there were a few scenes that were a little too graphic for my virgin eyes.

http://www.buffalorumblings.com/ Updates on Coles, Fitzpatrick, Hangartner and Birk Rorschach_tiny by Brian Galliford on Feb 27, 2009 7:01 PM EST in News Comment 17 comments On the opening day of the NFL's 2009 free agent signing period, the Buffalo Bills made some waves by hosting WR Laveranues Coles and QB Ryan Fitzpatrick at team headquarters, along with other available veterans. The team is also bringing in OG Geoff Hangartner, and there have also been indications that Buffalo is linked to C Matt Birk. Thanks to a well-placed source close to the team, Buffalo Rumblings can exclusively reveal the latest on these visits. WR Laveranues Coles: Coles has not left Buffalo. The veteran wideout's visit was reportedly a very positive one for both parties. Coles will reportedly remain in Buffalo through this evening, and there is positive energy surrounding the entire situation. A deal does not appear imminent, but Buffalo's interest is very legitimate, and the feeling is mutual from Coles' end. There remains a strong possibility (note the lack of the word "probability", and we're certainly not confirming anything) that an accord can be struck. Coles is, however, receiving strong interest from other franchises as well. QB Ryan Fitzpatrick: Indications are strong that Fitzpatrick will become Buffalo's backup quarterback at some point over the weekend. His meeting with the team went very well, and it's not anticipated at this time that he'll make any more visits. Still, a signing isn't a certainty, but we are comfortable labeling it a probability. OG Geoff Hangartner: Though it was reported that Hangartner would be in Buffalo on Friday, his visit with Buffalo will not take place until tomorrow (Saturday) morning. Hangartner is reportedly a very high priority target for the Bills, and the team is expected to do all it can to keep Hangartner from leaving town without a deal. It is unclear exactly which position the team anticipates he would play in Buffalo, but popular opinion is that he's being courted as a center. C Matt Birk: Buffalo was, in fact, one of the teams that contacted Birk. However, the veteran is seeking a deal similar to the one that Jason Brown reportedly was offered in St. Louis this afternoon, which is in the vicinity of $7 million per season. Buffalo is not prepared to pay such a contract to any interior lineman, and thus Birk will not be making a trip to Buffalo. Still, depending on the type of money he can get elsewhere, there's a remote possibility that he'll re-consider if his market value drops. The door is not closed, but it's close. We do not, unfortunately, have any updates on the rest of the team's recent visitors, including OG Kendall Simmons, CB Drayton Florence and LB Jamie Winborn. Keep it locked in to Buffalo Rumblings for all the latest Bills free agency news. ...intriguing...
