The Lions will draft Tebow or Willis McGahee because u dumb

Suh is the consensus number 1 pick.  This is fact.  Clausen isn't even the top rated qb- Bradford is and he's currently projected to go around number 5.  Once again, you don't know what you're talking about... but your team really should take a beefy and skilled O-lineman to protect Stafford.

If the Steelers actually trade Ben to the Raiders, I'll heat my hat.  Hell, I'll eat my hat if he's traded period.  The trade talk is simply scare-straight tactics to make Ben fear going to such an awful team.

How does actively pursuing trade talks with other GMs scare Big Ben ???

It'll be interesting to see what players are left on the Redskins roster after the dust settles. Campbell could be dealt, maybe to the Steelers if they trade Rapestberger. Haynesworth could be dealt to the Lions if they opt for Okung instead of Suh, then the Redskins could trade down to let another team take McCoy or Suh. Going to be interesting.

Davis could test WRs 40 times by having Big Ben attempt to rape them

The O line needs improvement, but I don't think we need to use the #2 pick on an O-linemen. There is no Jake Long type lineman in this draft. Suh and McCoy are dominant, top potential defensive players. Take one. The draft is kind of stacked at LB, and I'd imagine the second round pick will go defense again. After that you can get a o-lineman or RB

Yeah, nobody is gonna want a 28 year old qb who has won 2 Superbowls and is under contract for years, cause he has to sit out up to SIX WHOLE GAMES THIS YEAR.  I mean, it's a way better idea to use your first round pick on a prospect that might end up being the next Ryan Leaf.

Big Ben for the number two pick.  :smug

Honestly, the teams that it makes sense for Ben to go to are Oakland, Buffalo, St. Louis and maybe one other one that I'm forgetting right now.

edit:  KC and/or Cleveland.  Forgot about them.  Everyone else in the top 10 has a young QB they're grooming or an established starter.  I guess you could argue that Seattle would be smart to turn the page from Hasselbeck (who has sucked for years now) but they probably won't just yet.

I'm going tomorrow, just got back home about 30 minutes ago from RCMH.

There arent a lot of people this year because of the weekday thing. If you want to go i'm sure youll be able to get in if you just show up.

I'm hoping we get Earl Thomas or Devin McCourty or Brandon Graham. If not, I can live with Oldrick. Hopefully there will be a run on tackles like the mocks have been showing so we get some quality players that fall to us.

By us I mean the Jets.

I'm freaking excited. The draft is my favorite event of the year.

Kind of concerned about the Best pick after some research. Dude has durability questions and got hurt multiple times at Cal. This would be less of a problem if our OL was better. I'd rather go defense with the third round pick though. It'll depend on who's available though.

So I guess the Redskins are content with their roster. Weird.

I wonder if they'll still try to Jamaal Brown. I got to think a LB and RB are going to be drafted in the later rounds. If they can't get another starter for the line in the draft, they need to sign Flozell or trade for Brown.

It's also hysterical to watch Redskins fans who sincerely thought that the team could get a second round draft pick for Jason Campbell, now realizing that they'll probably get a fifth or sixth rounder. :lol

Well it was a trade that basically cost them nothing so I don't mind giving ol' fatty a try.  All they gave up was a couple of spots in the 4th and 7th, plus they got some 6'5" 305lb DT along with White so all in all not too shabby.  This just means that the Julius Jones era has finally come to an end in Seattle.  Thank fucking god.

I'm actually more surprised that the Jets threw Leon Washington to Seattle for a bag of chips.  If his leg heals this will be one amazing pickup for the Seahawks.

He's a solid quarterback. He just isn't a very good on-the-field leader. Maybe being traded to Oakland will help him and he'll develop a chip on his shoulder. Maybe he'll try and prove himself.

But the man was just mediocre in D.C. and his numbers - which everyone points to - don't really tell the tale. Almost all his decent stats were picked up in garbage time last season. The game was usually put away, and then teams would play prevent and he'd throw some TDs.

ASHBURN, Va. -- Albert Haynesworth was absent again Friday when the Washington Redskins opened their second voluntary minicamp under new coach Mike Shanahan.

The two-time All-Pro defensive tackle remains unhappy with the Redskins' switch to a 3-4 defense and would prefer to be traded. He has also irked Shanahan by working with his own trainer and staying away from all of the team's voluntary offseason conditioning sessions.
http://sports.espn.go.com/nfl/news/story?id=5171050

Guaranteed FA money  :-\

Lots of folks call into our sports radio shows and ask if/how the Lions could get Haynesworth. I don't want someone like that. On a successful team with established leadership I'd imagine he'd be good/decent, but putting him on a team that's rebuilding would be a disaster. The Skins are looking good imo, and the franchise is making moves to further improve. His behavior is just ridiculous.

Post by: Hitler Stole My Potato on May 08, 2010, 08:38:45 AM
I'd say anyone would be a fool to pay or trade anything for a free agent this off season, especially when we don't know if there's going to be a lock out next year, and there's a good chance that'll happen.  That being said, Haynesworth is a bum. 

And I'm glad the NFL busted Brian Cushing on steroid abuse, even if it's only a 4 game suspension. Honestly, they should also strip him of his DROY award last season too. That douche was obviously roiding.  Zombie Ray Charles could see that.

Haynesworth isn't a free agent ???

In fact, since the Redskins paid him all that guaranteed money, he's pretty much a steal for any team that trades for him. Considering he's so disruptive when he plays, and elevated the 'Skins defensive line last year, they're not going to trade him for peanuts. Even if that means putting up with his behavior.

Yeah, sorry.  He's not a free agent, but he's still possible trade bait for someone out there regardless what Shanahan says in public.  Still, I think it's a little silly for any team right now to be making any big moves or even considering them this off season with the collective bargaining agreement being as tumultuous as it is.

I remember thinking about a year or two ago when I first heard that this year was going to be an uncapped season that it was going to be an absolutely crazy offseason, but it really hasn't been like that at all.

Apparently, JaMarcus Russell knows about purple drank. (http://sports.yahoo.com/nfl/news;_ylt=Ah05Dm4iUtSco0Tzzzn9IWE5nYcB?slug=ap-russell-arrested)

In news that should surprise absolutely no one that watched him attempt to play football for the past three years, Russell was arrested at his home for illegal possession of codeine cough syrup.

Dez Bryant refuses to carry Roy William's pads. :lol

On one hand, Dez is a rookie and he's earn his place before he goes and gets a big ego. He's been doing good so far, not pulling a Crabtree and trying to hold out for more money, showing up for practice on time, spending all his free time palling around with Tony Romo to figure out what he needs to do. This little incident doesn't really reflect well on his character though, you're still a newb, buddy. :wag On the other hand though, fuck some Roy Williams. :lol

So, what's the Washington media's take on the Haynesworth situation? Are they behind Haynesworth or Shanahan?

I think the media and the fans are firmly on Team Shanahan. Haynesworth has not endeared himself to the fan base whatsoever. We didn't like him last season with his frequent on-field breaks and he really upset the apple cart with his behavior in the off-season.

Plus, the organization and the coaching staff was so dysfunctional for so long (even under Gibbs Era 2.0), that it's nice to have a firm taskmaster running house nowadays. Haven't seen anything like this since Schottenheimer was around, but unfortunately he didn't have the Super Bowl clout to go toe-to-toe with a younger, more stubborn Dan Snyder. Shanny does. And he is benefiting from a more hands-off owner that has been beaten down by time and bad press.

So I think people appreciate Shanahan not giving anyone an inch - Haynesworth included.

dude is a walking disaster. It's a shame because he's a great player (when he tries). Some Lions fans want to trade for him, but if he's acting up in Washington he'll really throw a fit on a shittier team like us
Title: Re: 2010 NFL Draft/Off season thread of Lions resurgence
Post by: The Fake Shemp on July 31, 2010, 07:53:45 PM
There are some in the press that think Shanahan is going too far by publicly humiliating him, but I think Haynesworth is pretty much reaping what he sowed. He might not be able to practice until next week, if he he can't pass this stupid conditioning test.

Redskins won't trade him, not this year. If he has a MVP-type year, I could see Shanahan and Allen moving him for a couple of draft picks, maybe a toxic asset swap, but I doubt he goes. He's too good and Shanahan isn't the type you push around.

Word on the street is that Vincent Jackson might be suiting up in burgundy and gold, though.

ESPN's Chris Mortensen is the latest reporter to suggest that the agents for unsigned Detroit Lions rookie Ndamukong Suh are seeking more money than the player selected ahead of him in the 2010 draft, quarterback Sam Bradford.

The numbers Mortensen reported are staggering -- six years, $90 million with $56 million in guarantees -- but likely represent a negotiating tactic rather than a hard-line from agents Roosevelt Barnes and Eugene Parker. As we discussed Saturday, it's difficult to imagine the Lions paying Suh more than the quarterback premium Bradford received.

What probably has created some wiggle room for Suh's agents is the large gap between Bradford's total guarantees ($50 million) and that of the No. 3 overall pick Gerald McCoy ($35 million). Stay tuned. The Lions have two practices Sunday, at 9 a.m. at 3:15 p.m.
http://espn.go.com/blog/nfcnorth/post/_/id/14201/wait-ndamukong-suh-wants-how-much
Holy shit  :lol

Bargaining tactic sure, but I'm still disappointed. One of the first things Suh did after getting drafted was promise not to hold out. I realize business is business but it's still a disappointing turn of events.

He better be a complete and utter beast

It's just the pre-season, but so far the Lions look good. Stafford threw an interception but it wasn't his fault; juggled ball in the air by Best. Best had some great runs/plays, Calvin Johnson looked good as usual.

On the defense side, Suh was getting double teamed early, freeing up the other defensive linemen to make big plays.

game got rained out tho, dunno if they're gonna cancel it or not
