So...the draft is coming up.
I'll keep on for background for noise mainly....of course there's always a few people I am always interested to see where they fall. Dan Connor to the Giants???  God I hope so... |

I think this year's draft could look more like a poker tournament with all the teams wheelin' and dealin' like riverboat gamblers. Should be fun to watch, at least for the first 2 rounds. Remember that the time a team has to make a pick has been cut down to 10 minutes instead of 15 and the later rounds get even faster.
As far as the schedule goes, the Cowboys got a real break when they found out their trip to Green Bay will be in September.

I'm no Vikings fan (other than thanking them still for what they gave the Cowboys for Herschel Walker) but their trade for Jared Allen seems like a lot (1 first round pick and two in the third round + $74 mil/6yrs) for one guy with off-field problems. Has there ever been an instance where the acquisition of a defensive end was the main factor in getting a team to the championship?

Is it just me or are the Cowboys getting Pacman Jones for basically nothing?

I hope Dallas doesn't end up regretting taking Felix Jones over Mendenhall at running back. I think they might. But they got a steal in Mike Jenkins, the savvy cornerback from South Florida. The kid's a terrific cover corner. I'm not happy that Devin Thomas fell to the Redskins in the 2nd round, though.

I cant believe Dan Connor hasn't been taken yet!
As for Felix Jones...he is a good back, although Mendenhall is a beast, IMO I would've taken him over McFadden even. |

Giants taking d-backs so far.
No surprise there, though they also could use an outside linebacker. |

The draft analysts don't seem thrilled about the specific defensive backs that the G-Men picked, but then again last year the draft analysts didn't like the Giants' draft picks and they had more contributions from their draftees than any other team.

With Washington and Philly taking receivers and tight ends it's not surprising that Dallas and NY are loading up on defensive backs! The footballs will be flying in the NFC East this fall!
I'd like to see the Cowboys grab up a few offensive line prospects and a backup QB during today's session.

Sort of hoping we'd go after a QB, but with Matt Ryan already gone then I guess it stands to reason we address the defense....you know....SINCE WE TRADED THE BEST PASS RUSHER IN THE LEAGUE!!!

Still dissapointed the G-men didn't take Dan Connor...........But I can't say they've done a bad job.
Personally, I never heard of the first 2 guys, but the secondary could use any help they can. And Mario Manningham, good choice IMO |

Mario Manningham's stock dropped big time since the end of the season. Being in Michigan, they were talking about him on local radio. I guess that his times in the dashes were really slow. In addition, they were having a good laugh over him taking some written test and only scoring a 6 out of 50 on it. Not to mention his failing drug tests for marijuana. All that being said, he had a great college career at Michigan, and he could be the steal of the draft getting a once potential 1st round pick so much later in the draft. |

Yea, I think it was great pick for the Giants, and no doubt a steal. 40 times are nothing really. You can run a 4.2 and flop but run a 4.7 (I believe Jerry Rice did something like that) and well.... As for marijuana as long as he stops so he won't get suspended I dont really care |

I absolutely loathe Oprah, but my wife recorded her show with Buffalo Bills TE Kevin Everett, who (if you remember) suffered a broken neck on the first game of the season. Absolutely phenomenal that he's walking. If you get a chance, watch it.

Ahhhh yes...now the battle of the bluffs ensue
Player says he will not participate until he gets a new contract Team will say: we won't give you a new contract And wait for the first one to blink Shockey is b*tching (like always) And now Plaxico is not gunna play until he gets a new contract I say let em both go. They've proven they can do fine without Shockey, and Plaxico is important (and id like to see him stay) but they could live without him. They can always move David Tyree up now, and work in Mario Manningham |

Definitely don't let 'em go. Honestly, while the Giants have plenty of solid wide receivers, Plax is the only one I would call great. They should trade Shockey, though. They did well all season with Kevin Boss, and Shockey is far to expensive and disruptive to keep around when he isn't even significantly more valuable than his replacement. Put him on the market and get that safety or will linebacker you need.

Could he? Would he? Should he?
 Well I suppose the Falcons could use a reliable quarterback for at least one more season.
