@poeticg said: I'm sure you're selling Trent short. Be prepared to be amazed at the production he puts up when healthy. McCoy, Richardson, Gordon, Little, Cameron = Playoffs this season boys! I can't wait! ...I would have loved to add Cribbs to this list as he deserves it but it appears that he's headed to AZ... PG, that's the ONLY reason (injury) Trent gets a mulligan on last year's performance. I said before the draft taking a RB in the top 10 was stupid- Mike Lombardi happens to agree with me, perhaps the first smart thing he's come up with. Who was the better value, Trent or Doug Martin? Doug hands down. If you look at RB stats, it's littered with guys who were drafted way lower than Trent- or even undrafted, as is the case with Arian Foster, and had better statistical seasons. Based on last year's performance, I'm not even sure Trent is as good as Ray Rice, and I can about guarantee you he's never going to be as good as Adrian Peterson- healthy or not. If you take a RB that high, that's the standard you hold him to- multiple Pro Bowl selections. TR does have excellent field vision and moves- but I hate to tell you he's not the beast you want to make him out to be. I saw him get solo tackled- and even arm tackled a bunch of times last year- and you can't attribute all that to injury. Jim Brown he ain't. Trent's major problem of getting to the elite level of running backs is he doesn't have (and never had) the breakaway gear guys like Peterson or Barry Sanders have (had). Yeah, I DID watch some of Trent's college stuff- and he got caught from behind a couple of times- those other guys NEVER did. I love your rah-rah attitude PG, but you have to temper your enthusiasm with an occasional dose of reality. The older you get, the more objective you get. So- Josh Cribbs is 100% gone, McCoy is probably 75-90% gone, 25% odds Phil Dawson will be back. Richardson will have to come back 50% improved to justify his draft position. That's the cold blooded reality PG, sorry if you don't agree. The problem is Holmgren and Heckert swung for the fences with the Richardson and Weeden picks, hoping they'd land the next Emmitt Smith and Dan Marino- they knew it was win now, or else. They might just have hit a pop fly to right field instead.

Hillis-iz-Boss said: Just picked Cousins off of waivers from the Ravens. He is projected to play Guard. So, I mean, has it come to this: we pick up the Ravens dregs? Isn't Pinkston now penciled in between Thomas and Mack? WE can only hope that he learns a lot from the two guys on either side of him.

Gotcha wow that is a crazy draft with all the trades in it, but i would love to have Dareus playing in the Middle next to Rubin they would make a pretty good run stuffing duo..Then we just add some nice pass rushing Ends and Defense would be respectable, and im a big believer on Cam Heyward id love him in the 2nd and i also want Stephen Paea if we dont grab a DT in the 1st...If Paea is there in the 2nd he makes alot of sense to play for us hes a monster and im not just talking about his Bench press his game tape is very impressive

Glad to see were intersted in Bowers as well i like him if Green isnt there, i have him rated alot higher than Quinn who i expect to slide a lil bit, also see that we had or have a workout with Camairi from Wisconsion...Would he be a bad 2nd round pick to play RT??? We've had success with O Lineman from Wisconson Before

@jnuh said: I have a feeling that if DQ can stay healthy he could actually be a pretty good backer in the 4-3. Though I ain't from Missouri, he is still going to have to "Show Me".

@the-gipper said: So? You think that a guy that had 9 carries and 55 yards and a TD with one catch is all that and a bag of chips? I don't think they are looking specifically at tackles when it comes to a cornerback. CBs will generally not get nearly the tackles that a linebacker or a safety will get. I think they may look more at what their opponent DIDN'T do when it comes to CBs. Haden pretty much held Ochoblowhole in check. They went away from him and that is why T.O. had a big game...because Haden was shutting down OC. True, but the average fan won't recognize that. But what about Ward, why wasn't he nominated the first two weeks with 11 tackles each of those games. Was it mostly because it was in a losing effort or they hadn't recognized him much at the time.

I was hoping we trade him and swap 1st with philly for McNabb but if we can get a 2nd for him Id be down. I think hes got 2 or 3 good years in him but his salary plus the performance of Rubin make him expendable.
