Don't look at the nuthouses for insanity. If you haven't read Bob McGinn's article on Crabtree its a good one. Part of the end provides improvement in our scouting... "The Packers also are high on Mississippi tackle Michael Oher. If it came down to the choice between Oher and Virginia tackle Eugene Monroe, the edge might go to Oher. The Packers have concerns about the dislocated left kneecap that Monroe suffered in 2006, but they're probably not severe enough to rule out taking him."

A few posts ago, along w/ me taking he shot for being a "fiscal tightwad" it was stated that the Pack has no $$ problems. Well, I don't know how true that is but I can see why if it is true. Rookie cap will have to be put in place because this will lead to the 60s all over again. Dont think the NFL cant be challenged, it has before. (20) super millionaires out there could form they're own league tommorrow. If there is that much $$ to pay a rook then the whole thing is a very profitable venture even if you are losing consistantly. Will be interesting at the next owners meeting because I cant see them letting this happen again (ie, AFC type player grab) 41M, wow!

If the Packers could get Andre Smith and Conner Barwin, TT should run for governor of Wisconsin. In short, I love this combination much more than the Orakpo / Loadholt prediction of another professional mocker.... Can't wait for tomorrow, though I'll be coaching in a youth baseball tournament and won't see the immediate results. Probably better that way; I won't have to suffer thru watching GM's sit by their phones waiting... I love the McShay mock draft posted on the main page.

Hasselbeck has several years left and you don't spend a #4 overall on a player you expect to sit and learn for three years. The Browns have Derek Anderson and Brady Quinn, who played the part of "Mark Sanchez" two years ago. I'm saying no way Seattle or Cleveland drafts Sanchez, though I'd love to see it as it means a better player potentially drops to #9. There's a whole lot of posturing going on right now... Worst case scenario as I see it, would be Michael Crabtree falling to #9. With Jennings unsigned, we couldn't pay him less than a rookie and we'd be hard-pressed to tie that much money up in WR's when the team is already rock solid at the position. I am 99% convinced that Sanchez will be there at #9 and Ted will trade down with whomever's willing to pay the highest bounty to steal him from San Fran. It'd be pretty funny if it ended up being the Jets... Roy – I think you’re 100% right.

The Jets and Bucs for sure scared that San Fran or Denver would take him....I can see it happening....TT would save money and also he would get more draft picks that is what TT is all about!!!!
