In space no one can hear

Here's one for you. So what if Hamas "endorses" Obama? It certainly couldn't hurt him as much as these " hussies" have hurt McCain. McCain Girls

I didn't quite like the "wording" of that blurb either. The players Pro Football Weekly has chosen in its overrated category, are players they have lower on their board than the "general consensus". Here is the profile for Davis in PFW: 4. TE Fred Davis (6-3, 255, 4.74) USC Notes: Also lettered in basketball and track in high school. Played in nine games at wide receiver and tight end as a true freshman in 2004, catching four passes for 30 yards (7.5-yard average). Started 3-of-13 games in ’05 at tight end and grabbed 13-145 (11.2) and two touchdowns. Started 10-of-13 games in ’06, grabbing 38-352-3 (9.3). Started all 13 games in ’07, amassing 62-881-8 (14.2) and leading the Trojans in receptions. Was voted the Mackey Award winner as the nation’s top tight end. Positives: Looks the part with a thick, solid build and long arms. Still has room to get bigger. Has natural receiving skills and good body control to adjust to the ball. Can create mismatches in the slot with his size and athleticism. Good movement skills. Shows the ability to separate against man coverage. Can adjust to poorly thrown balls, extend outside his frame and make the difficult catch. Turns his shoulders upfield quickly after the catch. Can wall off defenders and get in the way. Excellent production. Negatives: Does not play toughly or very physically. Not aggressive or strong at the point of attack and does not consistently finish blocks. Comes off the ball late and lacks discipline in his overall play. Although he is physically capable of becoming a solid blocker and shows flashes in this area, he does not show much desire and might never reach his potential. Struggles to seal linebackers on the second level. Not a finisher. Takes choppy steps and does not show great burst or explosiveness out of his breaks. Shows some hesitation entering traffic and does not secure the football on contact. Not an elusive runner after the catch. Is immature and needs to be monitored. Summary: If he could stay focused, toughen up and become a more willing blocker, he could develop into a great pro, but it took until his senior year for him to really emerge at USC and he might require some patience in the pros. Will bring the most value as a pass catcher. Still plays with too much of a receiver’s mentality.

Are you serious? Pro Football Weekly is top notch, and has been from the"legendary" Joel Buschbaum to the present day Nolan Nawrocki. The only other guide that is in it's league is Ourlads. There is a difference between aggegating everyone else's opinion and actually having the skills to come to an analysis from watching games, breaking down tape, and taking into consideration the opinion of league insiders that have been cultivated for decades.

As Per Nolan Nawrocki Pro Football Weekly: Overrated players DT Kentwan Balmer, North Carolina Has great strength, but hand use and ability to shed blocks is marginal. Questionable mental toughness at a position that requires a lot of it. WR Earl Bennett, Vanderbilt* Stood out vs. lesser Southeastern Conference competition but was easily contained vs. better competition and shows little burst or gear change in his routes to transition cleanly to the pro game. QB Brian Brohm, Louisville Has been oversold and overhyped his entire life and while he could still be a functional pro, he could struggle to live up to a first-round billing, should a team draft him that high. CB Antoine Cason, Arizona Instincts and ball skills are very good, but toughness and top-end speed seldom show up on tape. TE Fred Davis, USC Career underachiever with the physical tools to be a great blocker, but lack of toughness and focus could prevent him from ever reaching his potential. QB Joe Flacco, Delaware Inability to handle pressure, slow feet and questionable mental processing speed could restrict him at the pro level regardless of how strong his arm is. OLB Ali Highsmith, LSU Undersized ’backers short on explosiveness struggle to make an impact in the pros. WR DeSean Jackson, California* Has some elite physical tools, but poor size and lack of focus could keep him from consistently producing in the pros. DE Lawrence Jackson, USC Solid run defender who has all the answers, lacks mental toughness and makes too many excuses. RB Chris Johnson, East Carolina Teams who get blinded by his speed could overlook his inability to stay healthy running between the tackles. Value will come as a space player, not as an every-down back, which he will likely be overdrafted to be. WR Malcolm Kelly, Oklahoma* Cut from the same cloth as USC's Mike Williams and Dwayne Jarrett, Kelly's questionable work ethic, intelligence, mental toughness and foot speed spell B-U-S-T. RB Kevin Smith, Central Florida* Will be challenged in the NFL when he is asked to run between the tackles. Lack of run strength could be restricting. CB Aqib Talib, Kansas* Lack of functional playing speed and tendency to gamble and give up big plays could leave him with DeAngelo Hall-esque reputation as an overhyped corner who gets beat as much as he makes big plays

That mock makes me

Maybe it was the fact that he had 6 receptions for the entire year for a team that was desperate for a complemetary receiver. Apparently, Carolina is not holding it's breath expecting him to produce, as they signed both Muhammed and Hackett to play ahead of him. Thus, he is at best the Panthers 4rth receiver.

A homegrown terrorist from Western New York. Why did he hate us?

of Pro Football Weekly's most overrated players in this years draft. WR Malcolm Kelly, Oklahoma* Cut from the same cloth as USC's Mike Williams and Dwayne Jarrett, Kelly's questionable work ethic, intelligence, mental toughness and foot speed spell B-U-S-T.

Already been posted

In his last mock draft before the actual draft, Nolan Nawrocki of Pro Football Weekly, also predicted the Bills would draft Whitner.

Of all the players that get mentioned on this board and in mock drafts, for me that player would be Keith Rivers. I feel we have a solid starting linebacker core of Poz, Mitchell and Crowell. Not to mention 2 decent backups. If need be we can always draft another 'backer later in the draft. My belief is, if a team is to take a linebacker as high as pick 11 in the draft, that player should have very good pass rush potentiaL and be a playmaker. Keith Rivers had 0 sacks last year and 0 interceptions. That's the kind of playmaker we can do without.

Just another night out doing shots with Hillary in Pennsyltucky.......

I will be spending all of Saturday and Sunday in my mancave.

Who pissed her off?

Ok, ok....I see your having some fun. But to be honest ,I'm sure every team has some type of measurement or analysis to rate their DB's. Not sure how close Football Outsiders is to the Bills. I just posted it FYI.

You don't happen to go to SUNY at Oneonta do you? If so, could you please introduce LSI to B and C from your list?

Cool. No youtube link?

According to Football Outsiders and their statistical analysis : The Bills Cornerbacks finished- 12th in the league defending against teams number one receiver 30th in the league defending against teams number two receiver 8th in the league defending against teams number three receiver take this into consideration when thinking about drafting a CB.

Agreed. Would a team with a head coach, defensive coordinator and defensive backs coach who all played in the secondary, be a team that thinks it could not refine the game of one of the top 5 athletes in the draft? I think not.

Just a reminder, Tom Donahoe isn't our G.M. anymore.

LSI as the voice of reason?

As long as he is 6'2" and doesn't have "tiny hands", he is plenty big enough.

Ageed,anything can happen but these scenarios you lay out.
