If for some reason we get screwed again though, I think my poor heart can't take it. Another failed GM/HC would do me in

well dont get too caught up in the draft. Nobody is able to turn around a team via a single draft. As long as we get one stud, one starter and a couple depth, i would consider it a success. Besdies, Emery has shown he is able to make smart moves in FA as well like Marshall and Bush. We should trust in Emery until he proves otherwise, but so far it has been positive.

I recommend a Drink, I'm a Captn' & Coke guy myself. But perhaps a Beer or 6(or 12 or 18) may also help. "Drink until the (off)season looks pretty!"

I'd be happy with any 2 of the following : Justin Pugh , Dallas Thomas , Barret Jones , Lane Johnson . All have enough size and good feet . I'm not as interested in the 330+ pounders ( like Warford ) cuz they're usually clods who wear down and get beat by quicker players too often . Tackles who exceed 310 usually have the same problem , so it's better when they're about 300 because their feet are better vs quick DE's.

I'd take the 300 pounders with the better feet over the super heavy guys every time .

Wheres the HEART ... wheres the EMOTION ? First things I'd be looking for, in the fourth quarter ... are you there for us ?

Its fourth and 1 at the one yard line in the SuperBowl with the game on the line and we score and we win ...

can I count on you ?

From what I've heard all these guys pass the attitude / passion test . These aren't the guys who are gonna get paid then stop working ( like many teams have seen with alot of highly touted college players ).

Well that's why I keep saying RELAX......... Try a massage.

Here's where I'm coming from about this. For years and years I've read all kinds of criticism around here blaming Angelo for constantly trading away higher picks for more mid round picks and we seldom got lucky with any of them. Not the guy we took with the later second round pick or with those extra third and fourths we may have picked up in the process. The list is long and very undistinguished.

This year we may have a shot at one of the top LGs in this draft and maybe one of the best to come along and the last decade. If a guy like Cooper is that good, and we most definitely need a LG even more than we do an OC, why pray tell is it a good idea to trade down, take the lesser of the two players, and then start him playing out of his natural position because the guy we have playing OC isn't a very good LG so we have to leave him at OC?

I don't know about you guys, but as Henry described it, that seems more like Angeloean logic than plain old fashioned common sense to me.

Hey lets trade our 1st 2nd and 4th 5th and 6th rounders so we wind up with 7-8 3rd rounders . Think about it - 8 3rd rounders in one draft . That could put serious starter quality depth in lots of places ( some of whom would be starter material anyways ). Crazy ? Not as crazy as you might think .
