I'm not saying Johnson's great in his own end, but He does play a ton of minutes for a pretty stingy Kings team. If Johnson was the target, I wouldn't stop there, I'd try for a Boychuk type guy to play with him, physical, solid defense first guy.
- Jsaquella


I love Boychuk's game. Guy is really underrated. The noise out of Boston is they may make a run at Suter or Weber. The Bruins are growing impatient with Joe Corvo. They have a ton of cap room. I don't even want to think about them getting Suter, and forget it if they get Weber. My Bruins friend is pretty tuned into what goes on there and he said look for the Bruins to package D. Hamilton for something big.

The Eagles got Brandon Graham....he's played fewer plays than JPP has had sacks
- Jsaquella


I wanted them to take the safety Earl Thomas, I was disappointed.

I was a little concerned when they drafted him so high. I knew his athleticism was off the charts, but was concerned with the fact he picked up football later than most guys.
- PLindbergh31


Skill was there it was just a matter of getting it out of him while letting him develop.

They'd be great as OLB in a 3-4 which they'll never run and starting next year 15 to 17 teams will be using.

Which means the player I'd hope falls to #15 this year they'll ignore for another lineman what side of the ball won't matter.

Me to. Instead they got Graham and Allen, which has been a disappointment.

As do I but I just feel they'll either pass or he'll be gone just before they pick.

Eagles will take Defensive/Offensive Lineman.

They need LBs and Safties but they will ignore it until later in the draft.

Yep. Giants Nascar package with Osi, JPP, Tuck, and Kiwanuka was enormous. Pass rush is vital. If you can get to the QB without blitzing it's half the battle.

Only 1 safety with a 1st round grade this year, they are probably drafting a bit to high for him.

I also think they could take Michael Floyd a WR

The Cleveland Plain Dealer considers it "a lock" that the Browns will add a veteran receiver through the trade market or free agency. Browns GM Tom Heckert and coach Pat Shurmer both have a history with free agent DeSean Jackson from Philly. NFL Network's Jason La Canfora and The Sideline View's Adam Caplan both believe the Eagles will shop Jackson on the trade market after franchise tagging him. Just based on speculative dot-connecting, Jackson could make some sense in Cleveland if the Browns are willing to fork over a high pick and the long-term contract it would take to seal a deal.

Sent you a PM about a position the Giants could use or at least an upgrade.

Rumors are Burress as the #3 WR and red zone target.

I saw it and responded. I only wish he would be on the board when the Giants selected. I don't think he will be.

I do think he has a very good chance of being there. Big time self control issues that right now has teams backing off.

me too. funny, jpp was considered a bit of a project. the DE I wanted was Morgan, but his career has gone nowhere because of injury. didn't want graham and his short arms. he's a great kid, but he prob would be better at LB in a 3-4. so tired of the small/soft on D.

Yes, he was benched towards the end of the year for getting too many personal foul penalties.

He's now considered a late 1st round possibly early 2nd, it could change.

Then they take a 26 year old O-Lineman last year. They Eagles are so random with their selections. You have to hold your breath when they select, its almost embarrassing.
