I won’t be upset if we take Richardson at #5. If we trade up to get him I will be punching a hole in the wall.

Bobby,

We can finally agree on something without one of us getting pissed off and insulting, YAY!

Eric Wright is a great addition. The Lions D was not nearly as crappy last year with him, 70+ tackles.

V-Jax was a super signing, we can cut bait with him after two years, or if he is still “top notch” we can continue to have him.

Now, the bad.

Derrick Ward, Michael Clayton, Quincy Black, Roy Miller, Myron Lewis….

All garbage additions either through FA/ 3rd round pick.

Those additions sucked.

We traded up for Freeman, and that was a good choice.

We traded up for Regis Benn, and he has been so-so.

Dom should up the anty and trade up for TR, it would shock conventional wisdom, and after all it is a copy cat league.

If we do trade up and get TR, and it is a huge hit, then everyone will laugh at convetional wisdom, and “bell cows” will remain a top priority.

@Camby….so, even though every expert says it takes 3 years to evaluate a draft you think you have that Nostradamus ability that they don’t have huh? Good for you! Maybe you should change careers and get a career in the NFL.
As far as V-Jax, he just turned 29 and doesn’t show signs of slowing down. Would be nice if her were 25 but he works out like he’s a teenager. I guess that pick was too tame for you huh? Eric Wright in our scheme may be just what the doctor ordered. He’s a sure tackler and we needed those last season. Maybe I missed the whole FA period but tell me again….what are the 30 teams besides Washington that signed two Pro Bowl players during FA? I must have missed that……

Bobby,

Picking Trent would not be insane, it would be pure genius.

Dom needs to make a statement, and so does Schiano.

What a better way to send a wake up call?

New Coach, new mindset, new “bell cow”.

We will see how it goes down tomorrow.

If we don’t move up to take TR, then I hope we can get Claibourne/Kalil/ trade back.

I’m not giving him any credit for McCoy so far for a “probably gonna” when I heard that last year about him. Clayborn was solid but unspectacular, and really does not look to project to be anything more than maybe an above average, Ray Edwards type. None of his middle to late round picks have made any impact. NONE. And while he hasn’t had much money to work with, what he’s had could have been better used if it were lit on fire and smoked out of a pipe. McCown..Derrick Ward.. a punter..franchising your kicker.. and did I mention Quincy Black? (oh yeah- the lighting $$ on fire thing)

Signing a deep threat WR on the wrong side of 30 and a corner that is at best a #2 doesn’t exactly make me want to run to the store to buy a Eric Wright jersey. So again, what exactly has he done that hasn’t been equaled and/or passed in pretty much every NFL city save for Washington (they do have a worse GM)

Just on a side note….Mayock did his mock draft with all the top NFL analysts picking for teams 1-32 and Richardson didn’t go in the top 5. He made it to #9. That’s not saying that is the way it will happen on draft day but it is interesting that NFL analysts, some of whom are former coaches, seem to place ‘need’ over BPA in most situations and picked the BPA to fill that ‘need’.
Now there’s a concept huh??

@SteveK…you actually want to trade UP to get a RB???? It’s silly enough to take one in the top 5 but to trade up and give up even more draft picks is borderline insanity.

@Camby….??????? Don’t think he’s whiffed on Freeman or Clayborn. Probably gonna be a breakout year for McCoy if he stays healthy and this years FA was the best in the NFL by signing two all pros. So your point is what…??

Why on earth do you still insist on calling this guy a rock star? Compared to Andrew Friedman this guy should be a roadie doing mic checks.

It’s nice that he’s plucked a couple of UFA’s off the scrap heap, but when you whiff on your 1st rounders and completely crap the bed in free agency, I mean you can’t keep hanging your hat on the fact that you signed LGB off Tennessee’s practice squad.

Cheers Big Mac!! Some of these guys are enough to give Nostradamus a headache. There is such a thing as giving opinions based on possible scenario’s, but too many fans on here are getting carried away with impossible theories. The Bucs would have NEVER gotten Suh! Maybe the Saints when they had crazy A$$ Ditka, but look how that worked out for them. It’s fun to wish for certain players on draft day, but the fact is none of these guys may be great players in the NFL. You can look at any draft throughout history and there are 100 times more busts than successful. Even in the first round!

With rosters expanded to 90 players up until opening day, there will be a large amount of good players available on that big cut day. About 1000 pink slips all in one day.
