It is confirmed, the Texans HAVE SIGNED MARIO WILLIAMS
I will kill myself if the Packers don't trade up to #2 to take Bush |

I don't see the Saints using the No. 2 pick, but I have no idea who will trade for it

I'm reading that the Jets/Raiders/Packers are potentially going after the 2 pick

wow can't believe the Texans are using the first overall pick on a defensive end that got sacks in 11 out of 27 college games.

I believe Walker did some med testing with New Orleans. Could the Packers #1 and Walker be part of a package for the #2 pick?
Bush as a Packer would be sweet. Still like the idea of drafting Hawk, or if he falls Ferguson, as well. |

LOL Giants sign Jai Lewis of George Mason basketball fame
Hasn't played football since HS...but there's no loss if he's cut. I wouldn't mind trying him out as a #3 TE. He's 6'7", could anyone possibly stop him on a fade to the end zone? |

6'7" 270+ with ball skills... I'd put my money on Lewis if he and Gates ever got in a fight.

Yea, jus cuz you can play b-ball doesn't mean you can easily make a transition. There's instincts, blocks, learning offense,defenses...Gates just happens to be the fuckin man.

Gates was the first in the mold. There will be other Gates... in fact, there will be people better than Gates. Because he set the standard. Eventually, there will be a seven footer at TE. Unblockable. Until his knees get shredded after one season.

LOL could you imagine though? Looking back at the NBA, like, imagine KG at receiver? I bet he had some nice straight-line speed and agility, since he's run point before. He has hands of glue, as he has caught people's shots in mid-air. And you put him against a 5'10" 190 pound cornerback...
![]() Something like that will happen. And I will be so happy. |

I don't see it being a bad decision to go after basketball players. They are athletic enough and if they have the hands, they have more upside than most WR's in the draft.

That's like saying there will never be another Bronko Nagursky. I mean, how do we even know? The RB position has evolved light years since then; Just like the TE position is evolving every year, because of Gates. |

There will definately be another Gates soon. It will just have to come on a team where the WRs are so bad that the TE is the preferred receiver like KCand SD

What's the deal with the Saints drafting Reggie Bush? What about Deuce? Is he gonna stick around?

No that's a perfectly valid opinion.
However, there is method to this madness: Rookies generally can't handle a full workload in their first season. They need to be eased into it, or they will crash like the Cadillac did last year. Ronnie Brown kept getting better because he shared the workload with Ricky Williams. Cedric Benson just LOL. I think he's dead. Anyway, on the other end of the spectrum... you have a major injury like Deuce had, you want to ease in as well. So basically they have 75% of Reggie Bush and 75% of Deuce McAlister, that gives them a good 1-2 punch. By the end of the season, one of the two will be at 100% and will be ready to start next season. THEN, the trade talks can begin. Maybe even if Deuce blows up in the early season, we could see a trade by week 6. But since they're both not ready for the full workload, they'll work for the job. Or they'll keep both players, since Miami did it and plans on keeping Ricky. All I know is, ROFL at Michael Bennett. :foc: you picked the wrong team to sign with bro. |

Hasn't Deuce had like 2 major injuries in the last 3 years? He can't have much left now.

His first one wasn't horrible I don't think? He came back after a few games... as a HB, you'll miss a few games now and then, and you can destroy your leg and come back for several more years, like J Lewis and Edge James.

Yeah I just looked around and he had a high ankle sprain that apparently just wouldn't go away.
He picked up a few minor shoulder and knee ones in college as well, from what I can see. Dunno, I'm probably exaggerating, but they're surely tempting fate by having him *and* Bennett around. |

Last year everyone was talking about how the Colts were being favored by the league with there easy schedule, well i read somewhere that this years schedule they play 12 out of 16 games on artificial turf or indoors utilizing there speed.
So you're all probably right. I dunno. |

Not sure if your numbers add up there (excl. Arizona at 9-9) but I understand it's just a rough guess. I'd probably agree with most of it, only I don't think there's any way Chargers win 10 games.
