The owner of the Jets, or the GM, or somebody..needs to lay off the pot.

I love it when people say the Lions are going to be good. It gives me a good little laugh

49ers with a great move, and love the Saints picking up Vaccaro; we needed a cover safety bad.

I don't watch the Draft. But I do want to know who gets drafted.

Oh boo hoo Manti Te'o didn't get drafted. We all know the Nfl Writers didn't watch the bowl game.

↑ I think they didn't do it because of the hoax.

And the falcons got their CB I see..

Ok so now the boring stuff is over, count down to the 2013 season.

I would hate to be a Jets fan. They have a nightmare of a situation at QB which they just made even worse by selecting Geno Smith...

They desperately need an actual O-line, but what they do? They drafted one quarterback (How many is that now? Six?) and two defensive players so far. Rex Ryan is just humiliating New York lately. Glad i'm no Jets fan.

I don't like the Geno Smith pick. He might be good, but the Jets are too much of a disaster to develop a young QB; they would be better off with a decent journeyman who can shrug off the circus like atmosphere there. The 2 defensive players were good picks. The O-Line players worth taking that high were gone (maybe Wormack over Milner, but not after trading Revis) and they got 2 defensive players with rare skill sets. A shutdown cornerback and a DT that can pressure the QB up the middle are hard to find and you can't pass them up, especially for dime-a-dozen WRs or RBs.

I bet. Is that why you said they will win next year's Super Bowl?

He did get drafted and the "Nfl Writers" have nothing to do with Bowl Games or who gets drafted. :huh:

I'm proud of the Cowboys picks so far. They have addressed every part of the offense they needed too. Day three, they will draft a few D-linemen and all will be great. The boys will be at least 10-6 next season (come back to me in a few weeks for that prediction :P).

They may have addressed a need, but the Center they took in the 1st round was a 4-5th round guy. At best. It was one of the biggest reaches I can remember.

I'll admit that it was a stretch but he was number 22 on their board. He was the best center graded in this draft. At worst he was a 3rd round grade overall. It's not a sixy pick but it was the right pick if you're coming from the perspective of having the best player at a given position. Sometimes a stretch is justifiable, and in this situation I believe it was.

I'm kinda excited about Marcus Hunt. He seems to have potential, but we'll see how he stacks up against the pros.

Well the Jets released Tim Tebow. I hope everyone is satisfied. With other teams unwillingness to go through a trade, and Jackonvilles' bogus desire to pick him up earlier this year, Tebow's career in the NFL might be over.

Ultimately, I think the Tebow haters hate most of all, that he took this whole thing like a man and didn't [censored] and moan about anything.

This in my view doesn't leave the Jets off the hook though. I have never seen so much blaming on an inactive player for a team's shortcomings in all my life. Here's hoping then didn't just further dig the hole they are in even deeper than it is now.

San Diego will be a worse team next year

Good Rushing QB For Jacksonville. Not the best passer in the world though.

http://www.nfl.com/news/story/0ap1000000165592/article/tim-tebow-courted-by-omaha-beef-a-team-that-existsI was never a fan of Tebow as a QB. I really dislike the way the Jets handled it though.

I think that if Tebow just give up being a quarterback, and instead go for a Running back/Linebacker position, he'd be having a great career in the NFL, and probably would of still been in Denver. There has been quite a few NFL players that played a different position back in College.

Raiders are just a bigger wreck now. Lost a lot of guys, but hopefully Flynn will be a key player. Not sure what to think of our draft class.

Can't hate on Flynn, I think he'll be a great NFL QB once a team gives him a chance to play the regular season.

Looks like the Raiders got Charles Woodson back.

That was sure an unexpected surprise!
