lolol after all the racist pissing and moaning from seahwaks fans that made J.D. come in and delete a bunch of posts you come back with this....keep doing you seattle fans

wilson (as you know) is one of the most universally liked and appreciated players in the entire league, it would be so easy to root for someone like him

If I was trying to be funny I would've said something original. At this point I'm just being a dick because this thread has sucked major dick for awhile now

Let's talk about something instead of Sherman or Seattle fans

My dream off-season: we resign McFadden to a very cheap contract, bonuses if he plays 16 games. We get Clowney in the first round, make a couple trades and some players fall, we get McCarron and Tre Mason in the 2nd, sign a good RT, and a new slot guy in case Ford gets hurt again

That was based on the assumption that the Rams take Evans instead of Watkins which I don't see happening but every other draft I've seen has the Lions taking Lee or Evans which isn't a bad consolation prize

lions need more options of weapons instead of one huge gun (megatron). 5k yards in 3 years is unheard of, but we need more options. its good we have runners that can make grabs though.

Lots of tackles and safeties potentially on the market. I'd behappy if we got Jairus Byrd

I can dream right?

But really im hoping that the bills  finally decide to spend some money and keep this ball hawk of a safety. So many good players have left buffalo because the bills didnt want to pay them.

whitner
mcgahee
lynch
etc.

They need linemen and real receivers. I'm a big fan of Rishard Matthews though

Matthews was awesome. Wallace would be awesome if him and Tannehill got their timing down, Hartline is good and a solid security blanket. They need one more big time receiver who can become a big name.

OL is obvious. They can't protect the QB and can't open holes for the run game. Maybe that is why there isnt much thought about getting a RB..?

Personally I think we need to draft a solid RB mid rounds who won't play first year but can come in here and there and has potential to become a great back.

I think they want to see what running backs can do if they fix the OL because they showed flashes even with the terrible blocking they were getting

I can see that. That's why I'd like to see a solid 3rd RB Get drafted. Thomas and miller went down lady year and they had 1 guy left on the depth chart. Thigpen, their kind of fullback.

They've got too many problems that need to be solved. The draft won't fix everything. Recently they draft terribly anyway, don't know why I think it's gonna change this year.

I have a feeling your draft will be pretty uneventful because you're gonna draft a shit ton of offensive linemen which, while necessary, is boring as shit

I take what I said about resigning McFadden back. I forgot we drafted Latavius Murray last year. Get rid of McFadden, get Tre Mason in the draft, use Jennings, Murray, and Mason as the backs.That is what I want to happen

i think they'll just franchise tag him again, can't they up to like 3 times unless he's a QB?

I thought you only got one on each side of the ball. I really don't think they want to give him that kind of money though. It seemed like they wanted to get rid of him during the regular season and I I think he wants out of Buffalo

idk, i remember reading something where he said he was questioning peoples sources when it was said he wanted to be traded.

then he said something like "i want to win here" but i guess the problem with that would be the whole winning part. It seems like he wants to stay, but he wants to get paid.

but obviously I'm looking at it as i want him to stay.

They might try and keep him but I think the more likely option is they spend that money getting more offensive pieces around EJ Manuel

Oh god yes please.

Although, I'm kinda over McFadden at this point, if he came that cheap then why not. God if only the Raiders traded for Beast Mode instead...

I feel like the Raiders need to invest heavily in defensive talent and Offensive Line depth. Maybe a few mid-level talent guys here and there at wide out and such, but you do those other things and that's the key to success with this team. Too often this season the O-Line was at serious fault.

Honestly after seeing last season I would be okay with 7 picks spent on the OL. You watch the AFC championship game and see that Peyton didn't even get touched. That would be nice to see.

Holy crap. I'm watching the senior bowl practice and this running back from Coastal Carolina, Lorenzo Taliaferro, is blocking better than most linemen. Seriously this kid will be on a roster even if he's the worst runner in history. That was seriously impressive

Hold on. What the fuck? Some of the guys from NFL Network have Bridgewater going to the Raiders. I need more information. Is this a real possibility? What are these guys hearing? I need to know

You can't pay attention to anything that the draft guys are saying about QBs. To me they are all so up in the air at who will go where. Nobody is the clear front runner like Luck and RGIII were in their draft.

I think Bortles, Bridgewater, and Manzel could all go #1 and who know who will fall to who after that. Being a UCF grad I'm hoping for Bortles to the Texans.

Dude you should be happy if you get him. He is a great QB with a lot of potential and knows how to win. I am very biased because I have watched him all through college but that also makes me well educated on him... I think its too early to say hes gonna be a top tier QB but he will be very good for whoever drafts him.

I think he has tons of upside but I've seen some accuracy issues with him and sometimes I feel like I'm just watching a white Jamarcus Russell and that scares the shit out of me

The reason why I think he will be a great NFL player is because he is coachable. His accuracy is off in some games but he has improved every year in college and I don't think that will stop in the NFL.

Just do what I do, expect your team to go 0-16. That way anything beyond that is good.
