Soprano= Spiked?

David Givens would be sweet. I like Pickett too and he has a connection with the Bills coaching staff.

I still like Ngata with the pick we have and true we shouldnt write JP off. But I would trade him for what was alleged here. He's unproven.

I don't believe JP has the mental toughness to win at this level. I remember listening to the postgame coverage of the Falcons game, a game where he did not play well. He said that he thought things were coming along and there were times we all could see how things were coming together for him. Problem was, I didn't see those times at all. no one I was with saw the positive plays. i saw him throw the ball at several people's feet. It sounded like he was trying to convince himself that he could do it. I don't think he can. But I hope he makes me eat crow. On another note. Now that Satan was fired we see some progress. Cutting MW is a recognition that TD didn't know best. Holding on to MW last season was a sign of vanity if you ask me. I like the way the team is headed in this offseason. With the coaching and front office changes i wouldnt be surprised if JP gets neglected though. Think Joe Gibbs and Patrick Ramsey. Losman is TD and MM's guy, not Jauron and Levy's.

Moulds was a great player for this team.He got a raw deal playing with so many coaches and qbs and then you look at his pal Harrison in Indy witrh Manning and you gotta feel for the guy. He stayed with the team through some rough times and we should celebrate him. His best years are behind him. If he wants to take a run at it somewhere else, I wish him all the best.

I want Ngata. The Oline wont gel for at least a year when we get decent people. At least with a good defense we can give them room to make mistakes.

ACor, the ignorance is being convinced there is no other way to go. I asked the question so people could discuss, not lobby for one person. Though I do enjoy your suggestion of.... oh yeah no one.

Am I being Punk'd?

"The ONLY guy you trade up for in this draft is D'BRICK. PERIOD." Blind faith= blind ignorance. How's that Mike Williams pick going for you. Stussy, I dont know what you're seeing in Losman. I didnt see anything at all from him all year that indicated he could ever be good.

Cutler is being thrown around as the top QB http://nfl.com/nflnetwork/story/9269708

fortunately Fantasy Points don't factor into getting into the playoffs. I don't care if he throws for 300+. I'd be happy with 200 with no INTS. Please stop equating fantasy numbers with being good. If you can't just get a life.

http://nfl.com/nflnetwork/story/9269708 Just wondering. How would that affect us. Seriously Im getting tired about people insisting we MUST only take a DT/OL. The board has not had a correct consensus on who we would pick in recent memory. Couple of questions: 1-would you be willing to trade up for Young? he's raw but has much more promise that Losman 2-Should we really risk taking another high pick OL? 3-Ngata is good. How does he stack up to other DTs in recent memory?

IF we took a LB we would take Hawk. We are NOT taking a lb

Givens is a great player and a good guy. We never used him right here at ND and he never once complained. Coach Weis thinks very highly of him and that's good enough for me. But I don't know about him being a #1, I feel more comfortable with Evans at 1 and him at 2

I don't like Brooks. But he IS better than both of our guys, so lets not slam him too badly.

Drew Brees played college ball at Purdue. Thats about 2 hours from Notre Dame where I am and this is the most God-awful snowy and cold weather in the world. He is not a warm weather QB

Hey my reasons for disliking JP are my own. All I'm saying is, we should have trde up for Rivers as an option as well. At the time of the draft this board talked him up just as much as Big Ben. Did you forget what we're talking about?

I know it's not a milestone as far as the board goes, but I have never lasted for more than a couple posts on any board. You guys are awesome and I really enjoy all our little conversations, so filled with love and positivity. Moderators, you guys are awesome! Now that Marv is back in town i'm sure my next 500 posts will be full of sunshine.

Can I be the one to post the cliche' in regards to Big Ben? "Hindsight is 20/20" YESSS!!! Don't forget, there were a lot of people on here who wanted Rivers. Would you put him up as an option? Incidentally, who were the big names we wanted that year? I believe Udeze was one of them, Roy Williams too.

or even just anything from JPL short of a total meltdown

God forbid we wind up with another McNair, as opposed to what we have now, a Rob Johnson lookalike who sounds like he's been inhaling helium and has poorer decision-making skills than Michael Irvin in his personal life.

You can't ask that now that Ben has won a Superbowl! Incidentally, even with Ben we wouldnt have made it past the first rd. We don't have gaps in our roster, we have a black hole called the Oline.

What exactly is it with professional athletes and domestic abuse? I'm sure they were all "asking for it" what with not cowtowing to their every whim like the rest of the world. It does seem like the Dolphins use wives for blocking sleds when their sled's are in the shop though.

You're completely right Rocks. I have been away for so long that moniker completely slipped my mind! Good to be back though.

That was too easy
