Bama's entire offensive line. Good thing Lovie is gone, Hed try to convert them to TE or DT

1. Barrett Jones, C, Alabama --Love 2. DJ Fluker, T, Alabama --Love 4. Gerald Hodges, OLB, Penn State --Good pick and value. 5. Zach Sudfeld, TE, Nevada --6'6, 255 pounds, 45 catches and 9 TD's this past year. 6. Aaron Mellette, WR, Elon --6'3, 220 pounds, 97 catches and 18 TD's in 2012. 7. DJ Harper, RB, Boise State --Smaller back at 5'9, 205 but had 15 TD's this past season. (the comments under each player are my comments)

Pretty good read, and always nice to see a positive article about Jay: http://sports.yahoo.com/blogs/nfl-shutdown...57266--nfl.html

It if funny how people were comparing Cutler and Griffin right after the Redskins loss, and how Griffin "toughed" it out and stayed in to play (even though he was completely worthless after the initial injury). http://aol.sportingnews.com/nfl/story/2013...ee-acl-redskins They have to do a graft of his left patella to reconstruct the ACL in his right knee, which was previously injured and repaired. To me, this is a huge red flag. He is on his 2nd ACL surgery as a rookie, and the way he plays, he won't last very long in the league. He is not built like AP. To me, it was the wrong call, in the game, and for his career. They did not have a realis…

1. Chance Warmack, G, Alabama 2. Lane Johnson, T, Oklahoma 4. Jonathan Franklin, RB, UCLA 5. Justin Gilbert, CB, Oklahoma State 6. Chris Gragg, TE, Arkansas

Admins, maybe we can pin this to keep track of other HC positions being filled? 1. Chiefs- Andy Reid 2. Bills- Doug Marrone 3. Browns- Rob Chudzinski 4. Chargers- Mike McCoy 5. Bears- Marc Trestman 6. Eagles- Chip Kelly 7. Jaguars- Gus Bradley 8. Cardinals- Bruce Arians

Rank the coaching candidates based on who you think is the best fit. I'll explain my top 3 Mine: 1- McCoy 2- Dennison 3- Trestman 4- Sullivan 5- Bevell 6- Arians 7- Carmichael 8- Clements 9- Toub 10- Decamillas The rest-- Hell no! Top 3: 1- McCoy Type of offense: Shotgun heavy passing attack/short-medium, mix of power running and zone running concepts + Adaptable + Gets the most out of a QB + Experience working with Peyton Manning + Young and hungry - Best year statistically as an offense is this season under Manning - Uncertainty over how much control he has over play calling 2- Dennison Type o…

any interest.. Looks like Jimmy Graham 6'7. 260 11TDs would love a guy who has some passion...

http://profootballtalk.nbcsports.com/2013/...ting-bears-job/ I think Brian Bear called it yesterday if it turns out to be true...

1-20: Trade down to (29) with San Francisco aquire 3-92, lose 5th ( with Barrett Jones and Warmack gone prior to 20) 1-29: OLB Alec Ogletree - Speedy, athletic freak with Football Skill to go with it 2-50: LT Lane Johnson - The run on OTs slows down, and bears get a beast RT or LT. Extremely athletic and a football player. Played QB and TE and apparently strong as hell (his arms are very long, so his reps may be about average) 3-90: OT/G Kyle Long - Pedigree, pedigree 3-90: TE Joe Fauria - stickin with this guy.. Just love his passion 4-116: G/C Braxston Cave - What a sweet name "The Caveman" 6: OLB/DE Brandon Jenkins - with McClellin being a #…

This is not who you want, but who do you think Emery will select as the next HC? I an interested to see who the top 3 will be, and if it is in line with what I believe.

Wow, SF and Kaepernick look good. Glad to see the Cheeseheads out of it. Now Clements becomes available, if Emery deems him worthy enough. GB doomed themselves by losing to Minny in Week 17. A win and they would've had a Bye last week and a home game this week. So much for Rodgers being the savior that can win any game on his own. Nothing can help a defense that bad.

Nice to see some validation for these guys. Melton was the only guy to drop off from the Pro Bowl roster for the Bears. First Team WR Brandon Marshall, Bears CB Charles Tillman, Bears Second Team DE Julius Peppers, Bears CB Tim Jennings, Bears http://www.nfl.com/news/story/0ap100000012...-headline-teams?

One of the better Olines in the NFL, and how was it built? LT, Joe Staley- 6 years exp.-28th player chosen. LG,Iupati-3 years exp.-43rd player taken. C, Goodwin-11years exp.-FA from NO RG, Boone-3 years exp.-Undtrafted FA- projected as a RT RT, Anthony Davis-3 years exp.-11th player taken-Drafted as a LT The point to all of this is 2 #1 draft picks, 1 2nd, one UDFA, and a FA. Staley,Iputai, Davis started from day 1. Boones first year starting and Goodwin has started 5 years of his 11 year career You have to have high drafts pick that make it play on your line, SF has 3. Then you can fit in a couple around him. For us, if we drafted right…
