regardless he doesnt deserve to be the highest paid QB in the league and if he thinks he can just say that he will go play baseball and use that as leverage, that is hilarious... players that hit .225 in the minors are a dime a dozen. in saying that, i hope the Seahawks make him the highest paid player

It's a 90 man roster right now so I am not too concerned yet...yet.

[nik-]

as a tight end finally?

Because otherwise, why?

[Displaced Flames fan]

Word on the street is that Tebow has made huge strides with his release.

I'm rooting for the guy, but I think it would be nice if the media would just shut the hell up about it.

Greg Hardy gets 10 game suspension.

[bubbsy]

Dion Jordan suspended for the season (2nd year in a row being suspended due to substance abuse).

Idiot.

Biggest draft bust in dolphin history (looks worse that they traded up to get him).

[Erick Estrada]

It's that time of the year where I get to go all Oilers fan and salivate over who the Raiders will take with their top 5 pick. Hoping Williams falls to the 4th pick but if he's taken I'll be very happy with Cooper.

giddy up

theScore ‏@theScore Apr 25 The Raiders GM says he's accepting calls about the No. 4 pick in the draft. http://thesco.re/1z5JovK

I don't doubt that Reggie may trade down if given the opportunity but for that to happen one of Mariota or Winston will have to be available at the 4th pick which is possible but unlikely. If one of them slips to the Raiders then I can definitely see them dropping back into the middle of the 1st round to fetch another 2nd round pick or more as the draft is fairly deep in receivers.

[OILFAN #81]

Rumor is the Browns have offered the Titans a package for the 2nd overall pick in the draft so they can select Marcus Mariota. The #12 and #19 picks are part of the package that was offered as per ESPN.

That would be the 3rd time in the last 4 drafts for the Browns that they moved up to try and get a franchise QB right?

They should keep drafting QBs until they find one that can win. The rest will take care of itself.

Targets for your team?

I would love to see Danny Shelton fall to the Broncos at #28. I think it has about zero chance of happening, but that is my best case scenario for tonight.

The Center from Florida State, Cameron Erving, is my second choice.

[Pagal4321]

I would be pretty surprised if Shelton fell that far.

I'm hoping for a trade back in the 11th spot, some team will want to jump at one of Devante Parker and/or Todd Gurley, I'm looking at you KC (WR) or San Diego (RB). Oh ya, I can't wait for the AP talk to subside after the draft as it's really getting nauseating.

I will be planted firmly on my couch to watch the draft util the hockey game starts.

[Senator Clay Davis]

You know whats funny in the whole process of the Bucs (probably) drafting Winston is everything has been about his off the field shenanigans, but he's got a lot of issues on field too. Has trouble reading underneath coverage, has poor footwork and a long windup release ala Byron Leftwich. Was hoping they could bait the Eagles into coming up to #1, but being so overt in their wanting Winston crushed any hopes of getting a big haul when it was obvious what they were doing.

Also, Lovie making a QB decision? You can mark Mariota down as much better. I actually think Tennessee ultimately takes Mariota and there is no trade. I think the owner intervenes and makes the pick himself.

I want Perryman for Denver. Really need a mean ####### to play inside the 3-4. As long as it's not Maxx Williams from Minnesota I'll be happy.

Edit: or Landon Collins if he's available. Need a safety to play with Ward.

[Senator Clay Davis]

So who falls farther in the draft: Randy Gregory or Shane Ray? At one time both top 10 (and even top 5 in some cases) players in a lot of mock drafts. I think Gregory is in for a steep fall not just because of the weed bust but because people have clued in to him being like 230lbs soaking wet. He's got a good 25-30 pounds to put on before he can be an every down player or anything close.

I think Gregory for sure could fall to a day two pick. Interesting draft because after the first two QB's the position really drops off. I don't know if either of these guys is worthy of being a top 2 pick but IMO both I would take over Bortles last year. Problem both of these guys have is the situation they would be put into as Tampa is kind of a QB graveyard and combine that with Lovie Smith as head coach and there's a high failure potential there. If Cleveland makes that deal to trade up they are also a graveyard for QB's so the potential of failure there is also high although I much prefer Pettine over Smith who IMO is extremely overrated as a head coach.

If the Raiders stay at #4 and Williams is available I feel they will take him but I still feel Cooper is the safest pick in the draft as he's going to be a starting WR with pro bowl potential and low bust factor.
