I don't think anyone but Donald would be the hands down choice at BPA, but I think there's a good 5 players or so that everyone would deem acceptable.

I don't think Martin will be BPA, but I'm not flipping chairs if they take him either. Just don't screw the pooch and make a horrible reach.
So, now Martin would be a horrible reach? GTFO of here.

Huh? He said he wouldn't be flipping chairs if we took him. It's an easy assumption that he WOULD be flipping chairs if we make a horrible reach.

You poorly misread that.
I'm thinking he should have hit enter at some point between "I don't think Martin will be BPA, but I'm not flipping chairs if they take him either" and "Just don't screw the pooch and make a horrible reach". The way it reads makes it look like he thinks Martin would be a horrible reach.

Safety above corner, even.
The sad thing is there are some corners I like in this draft but we have made such a priority of it up to this point that we can't even talk about them any longer. I wish we would have just let that position come to us instead of pushing it so hard.

The closer we get, I am getting a terrible feeling that Jerry trades up for either him or JFF.

And I will weep.
Depending on what we give up for Donald, I would be ecstatic. Dude is easily a top 3 player in this draft and can be the cornerstone of our defense for a decade.

I wouldn't consider corner in this draft. Next year we can look into it if Black Weiner doesn't do anything this offseason to make us comfortable with him playing in the Nickel in 2015.

I'm fine with leaving open the possibility that Claiborne and Scandrick could be serviceable starters in 2015 whilst spending those resources rebuilding the DL.

is Dennard the consensus best CB in the draft over Gilbert now?

This draft is confusing the fuck out of me. I blame it on not doing the Invitational

That has killed me too. I made up a complete 100 player draft board the last three years and spent 4 days on it each time (not all day, but I put in a couple of hours per day over 4 days). This year, without the mock, I didn't do it.

I have probably spent as much time on this draft as I ever have, even more than when I used to put up the draft site for the board.

It is very confusing and tough to predict. I have never seen it so hard to guess.

I know we say that every year, but this is really the case. Usually you can do a mock by this stage and the cat is out of the bag with some and you can hit three or so picks in the first round. Can't say that this time around.

I can't wait to read everyone's reactions on the board come Thursday night.

The expectations....the hope.......down the shitter, replaced by high fiving and a toothy grin. Oh, and a fuzzy haired retard sitting in the background..

:lol

Of the realistic options at 16, there's a small % of players I absolutely just don't want. Be prepared for some ^5'ing from me as well.

Hey I was happy with our first round last year.

It's Friday that I'm more concerned about. Lord knows we like to get creative in the second and third round.

Oh, I totally get that...but that's what makes me nervous. 16th is kinda no-mans land, and its exactly where Jerry gets all antsy when his guys aren't there and he tries to make a big splash...ya know...cause he's Jerry the GM. A real GM strides right along like Cool Hand Luke. Jerry panics, does a Nutty Professor and does something retarded.

It could be decent, or it could be horribly bad.
