I think Manziel is the most compelling story...and maybe what Cleveland does.
I'm hoping the Broncos can get Ryan Shazier at 31. Hearing they might want to try and trade up for Mosley or Gilbert though.

Disagree. Everyone seems to be in agreement that this might be one of the deepest WR drafts in a long time. Evans and Watkins should be beasts at the next level. Add in Lee, Thurman, Crooks, and even later round guys like McCreif, Benjamin, and Lattimer and it gets very interesting.

1. Moving the draft back 3 weeks has made me incredibly upset. Having to deal with three additional weeks of speculation has been terrible as a draft nut.
2. This is proving to be the most unpredictable first round in a long while, seems to consensus top 5 is starting to take shape. In no particular order and subject to no trades, Clowney, Robinson, Mack, Manziel & Watkins. My best guess is that actually is the order of the top 5 picks.
3. Seems most positions are incredibly deep this year, especially WR and OT. Figures that the Vikings, desperate for a QB, are looking at a draft with such a weak and highly questionable QB draft.
I can't see the Vikings taking a QB at #8, they will most likely look to trade back otherwise take a LB, which is their biggest need. Ideally I'd like them to trade back and draft either Mosley or Shazier and take a QB at the end of the first round, by trading up, or stick at #40 and take Mettenberger.

For a conditional 4th round pick in 2015, it can become a 3rd round pick.

Aaron Hernandez has now been indicted in the double murder he allegedly killed Odin Lloyd to keep quiet about. This guy makes OJ look like a saint.
Quote:
FOX 25 has exclusively learned that a Suffolk County Grand Jury has indicted former New England Patriot Aaron Hernandez for a double murder that occurred in July 2012.
In June 2013, FOX 25 first told you Hernandez was a suspect in the drive-by shooting that killed 28 year old Daniel Abreu and 29 year old Safiro Furtado, friends who lived in the Dorchester section of Boston. Both man are originally from Cape Verde and were employed by the same cleaning company.
The indictment comes nearly one year after Hernandez was charged with the June, 2013 murder of Odin Lloyd in North Attleboro, MA. Hernandez and two associates are accused of shooting Lloyd near an industrial park near Hernandez’s home.
Investigators began looking at Hernandez as a possible suspect in the unsolved Boston double murder only days after Lloyd was killed.

What an absolute disappointment Hernandez is, and that is putting it mildly. I cant imagine what his mindset was like playing in the NFL by day and being a murderer/serial killer by night...and then playing it off like it was nothing when caught?
Guy needs to be put away forever or removed from the planet so there is no way possible for him to utilize his ability to create another human from his genetic makeup.

someone correct me if wrong but I think the double homicide is federal so he could face death penalty if convicted

Better to leave him in a box for life and pump games into his cell every Sunday so he can feel like an idiot.

I don't think Hernandez feels anything. The guy has lifeless eyes and an expressionless face. I think its just a dark void in there.

This has the makings of being a really ugly story if true.
http://espn.go.com/nfl/story/_/id/10...rs-allege-suit
Quote:
WASHINGTON -- A group of retired NFL players says in a lawsuit filed Tuesday that the league, thirsty for profits, illegally supplied them with risky narcotics and other painkillers that numbed their injuries for games and led to medical complications down the road.
The league obtained and administered the drugs illegally, without prescriptions and without warning players of their potential side effects, to speed the return of injured players to the field and maximize profits, the lawsuit alleges. Players say they were never told about broken legs and ankles and instead were fed pills to mask the pain. One says that instead of surgery, he was given anti-inflammatories and skipped practices so he could play in money-making games. And others say that after years of free pills from the NFL, they retired from the league addicted to the painkillers.

The Goodell era has just been dealing ghosts of the NFL past.
