I said, if he holds onto the football. He had issues for Philly too.

He has speed. But he's not that good.

Watch his highlight tape from the games he played for the Eagles. He would be a starter in the league if he didn't have fumblitis.

They got O'Leary with their other pick in the 6th.

He had 1 fumble last year. Yet he still can't start over Anthony Dixon. That doesn't tell you anything?

O'Leary is Jack Nicklaus' grandson? That's pretty cool.

EKLUND: Quick hit here, but it really appears that Babcock is more than likely leaving Detroit for a MEGA contract...A source confirmed today that Babcock is carrying the torch for coaches everywhere and does want to get the big contract as much for future coaches as he does himself....

more to come...I am hearing Babcock news could intensify this evening.

The play he fumbled on was an explosive run where he got to the end zone. He was the #1 RB prospect in the entire country out of HS. You're underselling his ability.
- Pierceme69


So being good in High School means being good in the NFL?

That's a reach in itself. You're overselling his ability

Does he have skills? Sure but if you can't hold onto the ball you have no place in the NFL.

Bradham and Brown

Hughes and Lawson on the outside

Going back to the hybrid 3-4 keeps him here. Otherwise he would have been gone IMO. Super nice guy but not a 4-3 LBer

Did anybody watch the US and Norway game? I just got home at the end and was wondering how Eichel played. I saw that the US coach put him out on the ice in the last 30 seconds when Norway had the goalie pulled, so that has to show that he has confidence in the kid.

No, it's indicative of having skill. You're not ranked the top prospect if you're a scrub. I already said that his fumblitis is what holds him back.

I'm kind of hoping for Tackmerius Jacktheratrix. Has "late round stud" written all over him.

The draft reminded me of that when I was trying to read all of the first names... Yikes

Better than the game against finland but that probably has more to do with the quality of their opponent.

Yea he might be the 11th best defensive player in the starting lineup, which is crazy.

I think Rex will find a way to use him though. He's kind of been lost since he signed here

Can we all just confirm right now that Winston is a bust

Why on earth would you take a picture of crab legs after being drafted with your buccaneers Jersey on

Cause one of the captains from the deadliest catch sent them to him and he was saying his thanks. Way overblown.

EJ is nothing more then a clip board holder and until the Bills figure out you need an NFL STARTING QB to succeed, it doesn't matter who the coach is. Yet another DB they draft yet again when they need a QB.
- SABRES 89


Besides Winston and maybe Mariotta (who I think will be a bust) I don't think there is another QB in this draft that will make a difference for any team. No clue why they drafted a DB in the 2nd round but drafting a QB this year would be a waste IMO.

I would take any of those QBs over Jeff Tuel.

Apparently he sent some charity items for an auction that dude form the Deadliest Catch was running and as a gift to say thanks, he send him 25 lbs of crab legs for his draft party.

All well and good, but it shows a lack of judgement to take a picture of it and tweet it when you know you are already considered a dirtbag.
