  1. its crazy how expensive this is now.   What I dont understand is that I can watch almost any Big10 or SEC game every weekend on some channel.  Yet im stuck shelling out ridiculous sums to watch the Bills.  It's gotten out of control.  Not trying to brag here - but I have more then enough disposable income where the amount isn't an issue...I just cant justify paying that much.   Who the heck is paying this???

  2. Good trade all around.  He was done here.  No way to revive him.   At the same time, he is a former first round pick.  Worth a shot by Dallas.  Similar reason I liked the swing on Justin Shorter (although not a first rounder, former 5 star recruit).  these kinda guys have potential...but usually they dont work out.  But its a lottery ticket IMO.

  3. He is just a DE in a DT body.  His legs are like twigs.  his Center of Gravity has to be somewhere around his chest. He clearly was productive against good competition.   If he can do the same in the NFL, that will be VERY impressive.  I  almost wonder if the better answer isn't to have him lose 30 pounds and put him at DE.  

     

    Such an intriguing and risky pick.  Very interested in seeing how this one unfolds.

     

    I mean, look at the proportions on this guy.  So unusual.

  4. Really an unusual player.  From a Kentucky Expert "Long story short -- injury, disappointing junior season, unique player in a run-stuffer body with a pass-rush first skill set, and poor athletic testing for a prospect whose movement skills need to be the reason he succeeds in the NFL. Deone Walker is not a cookie cutter prospect and will need some coaching/scheme creativity to max out. All of those things added up to create a draft fall. He was good testing away from not falling out of the second round but the poor junior season is ultimately what started this fall."  Also seems to be lots of concern with his effort.

     

    Rooting for him.  Hope he does well...but even on the Kentucky side they didn't seem to love him.

    What other DTs would you want?  Collins is the only guy left that anyone could make a case for imo….. and he’s a terrible pass rusher.  If we’re going to draft someone strictly to plug the run, with no pass rush ability, I’d rather take them with a later pick 

     

    Farmer or Collins.

    waiting out another 14 picks when 2nd round is the prime time for most of these DT/DEs remaining?

    lets see who is left when 56 and 62 are up....im not sure he wouldn't have fallen, but Nolan, farmer, collins, and like 5 good DEs still on the board.  too early to move like this IMO....but again, hope I eat my words.

    What's the right price got to do with it? It's a roster spot; the guy was terrible last season. Bring in someone else and improve the roster.


    if he can be better than Elam - and replaces Elam on the roster for Elam’s salary….thats a win, and the floor here.

    Is it wrong to say that it was a solid contribution? I guess it's a "matter" of opinion. 

     

    If you are unsure if its solid of not, its not worth the gamble.
