ok its over lets just hope for a killer draft

[eek]

sounds like OZ is saying timmy wasn't living up to his potential and might as well get something for him not, then maybe nothing later

trading that pick or using it as leverage to trade up in another round... is an angle that I really just didn't consider and if that is the case..... they may be a big thing.

jernigans 2nd half play was well below what he did the first half of the season. sure he is young but he ran out of gas far too early. we will bring in a stop gap vet to help with the rotation and hopefully the younger guys fight hard for playing time. i think they are going to use that 1st 3rd rd pick on a center

Lawrence Guy, now Jernigan, there goes our depth.

Keep this in mind. A Top 10 pick in the 3rd Round + Pick #16 in the 1st Round would move you up into the Top 10 overall in the 1st Round. You want Fournette, you want Foster, you want Barnett, you want Lattimore - you need to be in the Top 10.

Not worth it imo at all. Not in this draft. We will have a chance to draft a pro bowler in the 3rd round in this draft
