wasting your time reading stuff that doesn't interest you here & you're telling others they are lonely.

Well, obviously Me, cantankerous, Albany,n.y., syhuang, Max997, alg, & ans4e64. Why do you ask

Honestly, if we could get the players in your 2nd, 3rd & 4th rounds, I wouldn't care who we grabbed in the first(within reason)

I agree. I think they will be desperate to drop to #4(or #5) to take Hawk at value... I wouldn't be surprised if they trade down & recieve well under what the 'value chart' says they should get...better than just taking Hawk at #2.

Could someone clarify for me if I have the wrong end of the stick? As I understand, revenue generated from luxury boxes, parking, certain advertising & naming deals and sponsorships(plus more) are not pooled for shared revenue, but are used to calculate the salary cap. This means when Snyder gets an extra kabillion for his stadium deals, the cap goes up but no extra money goes to the other owners, thus Wilson has to pay more to the players without more revenue coming in. The fear is that as time progresses, the larger markets will push the cap up more & more making a higher & higher percent of running costs for lower revenue markets. I know there are lots of other aspects but is this basically it?

Apart from Bunkley, your mock would be magnificent. Makes you wonder how much effort these professionals put into these things.

I get the impression a lot of people think that the higher the pick, the bigger the superstar. That is an incorrect assumption. The higher the pick, the higher the chance you get a superstar.(theoretically) Superstars however come from every round in the draft (& even undrafted) Busts only really come from the first day of the draft.(4th round down aren't expected to be good) I'm just hoping we end up with more McGees, Peters & Evens' & no Erik Flowers', Mike Williams' or even Kevin Thomas'.

This could end up a draft day trade. If when we get to pick(#8), all that's left of the prime talent is QBs & Huff & we can trade down, I say we make the deal & trade down. If we cannot trade down....take Huff?

What if you're Hindu?

Good Post!

That's probably a bit too clever for the Cowboys to think of.... Do you think they monitor 2BD for hidden advice?

I heard Hawk could play any LB position...can't remember if the source was reliable or not but....I don't think if he fell to us we could afford to let him go.

Hey, until it doesn't happen, nobody can tell you otherwise. GO BILLS!!

You wouldn't have been saying that at the end of '04. Also unfair on the Special teams unit (all 4 areas) On top of all 4 areas, I think having a team of solid players/athletes with a handful of playmakers is also essential. When was the last time the Superbowl was won without playmakers?

I hear ya.

& you peed your pants with jealousy.

How often do you scan through the previous pages? I'm sure some people are not on every day & to them this is new & they are happy to read & contribute. Either way(bringing an old thread up or starting a new one) you get to see it at the top...no difference. I just don't get your problem with this. You do realize that if you stopped making the point that this thread should not have been made in the first place, it would eventually be on the next page & out of sight.

UConn is a gnat gnawed, uninspiringly, unintelligent, nose hair pullingly excruciatingly boring bottom burp of an excuse for a man who if his brains were to explode, wouldn't even ruffle his hair.

If only this guy would enlighten us more often. 145 post in nearly 4 years...just think of the contribution to the collective intellegence...

Geez, give the guy a break...Obviously with the responses some people still want to discuss this(& not go through the older threads) If you don't want to read it, IGNORE it. What does it hurt you if this thread is there?

Trade down in the first.

Sure defifbitely! As everyone knows, in ancient times, the food tasters for kings & emperors would bite into the suspect food five times. If they didn't drop dead, it was considered a sure thing to eat. The fifth bite makes it certain. Or in Italian...Da fif bite Dafifbitely=Certainly

Um...that's 3 Best scenarios Re #2: I think there is a high likelyhood of this. Assuming D'Brick & AJ are gone, Huff most likely will be there at #8.

I agree. You normally don't draft TE's that high but how many before have had the same attributes as VD? If he is a freak of nature, it's only natural he will go higher than TE's normally go.

Um...I don't want to be too negative but...(gee that sort of statement usually is followed by something really, really negative ) I don't get your criteria... Davis, D'brick, Huff...even Justice & Bunkley are widely considered to be Top 10 but Mangold???? Justice has maturity & character issues ....from Scout Inc... I don't personally know enough about the later draft candidates but....
