I like this list for my viewing of the WRs in the draft. Shows height and weight in a very easy to read format. I wouldn't say any of the really tall WRs have blazing speed though (6'3" and up) but there are definitely some ballers IMO. Keep an eye out for L'Damian Washington of Mizzu to shoot up draft boards with his measurables. http://www.cbssports...ankings/2014/WR

He only played with EJ one season. But that's besides the point. I can't explain why, but I have been seeing this guy like I looked at Alshon Jeffery when he came out, and I hated him...until this season. He's tall, he's big and strong, he has the ability to make some amazing plays coupled with the ability to flat out drop some easy ones. I though Jeffery was going to be a bust, and his first season was certainly not anything special, but then he blew up this year. I think Benjamin may have a similar growing curve and potentially could be a big time big receiver. I'm in on him and wouldn't mind this scenario in the 2nd at all if he's still there or late 1st as a trade down option.

As far as Rule change number 2 goes, I think you're looking at it wrong. Penalties are not only designed to equate to what would have happened but also to discourage you from doing the act at all. It's sort of like legal damages. They can be compensatory and / or punitive. Compensatory are to make the person whole (similar to what you are suggesting here) while punitive ones are meant to punish offenders for their actions in addition to the harm they caused. To me, it's more about discouraging the act than it is about putting the ball where it may or may not have ended up had the hold not have happened. Also, sack losses average more in the range of 5-7 yards. Too bad I can't seem to get the link to work.

Most experts / mocks have him going in the late first round now. I haven't seen him projected as a top 10 pick in well over a month now. It's really gone from him possibly dropping to the Bills to if the Bills draft him it would be a reach.

So in this guys article he says after the Jags Pick: "They can get their guy next year in what should be a deeper crop of trigger men." Wait, wait, wait, wait, wait. Isn't this year supposed to be the "deep" crop of QBs year? Did Hundley staying really effect the QBs that much? It seems like "next year" QB drafts are always deeper than "this year." It just goes to show you that these dudes really don't know what they are talking about. They just spew the same B.S. out year after year and copy each others mocks. The only year I don't remember them saying this was regarding this years rookie class. The Luck draft always remained more highly regarded, and rightfully so.

There are a quite a bit of good receivers in this draft. Everyone talks of Evans, Watkins and Lee (now Benjamin is rocketing up the boards). With our TE, OLine, and run stopping LB needs, I think WR is better addressed in round 2-4. I think we would also be discussing Penn State's Robinson and Vandy's Matthews as guys to target. Also, I loved LSU's Landry (over Beckham Jr.) this season. He was making clutch plays all year long, but he (as well as Lee) is not as big / tall as I think we need.

Think you guys may be able to remove Eric Fisher as an alternate #1 overall pick for the Texans. That would be an upset pick for sure.

If it were possible for a game to have a negative score, this just may be it.

Yeah, but I'd put money on the fact that you couldn't do those drop backs like he was doing on the sideline after. ACLs provide lateral support and really don't have anything to do with walking/running down a straight line. Once he was shuffling his feet testing out the drop backs and it didn't give, I was pretty confident that it was not an ACL tear.

I'm just curious, besides Cassel (who turned out to be terrible in my opinion), who have the Pats developed and traded? Mallet doesn't look to be trade bait at all but a future replacement for an aging QB. I certainly wouldn't categorize this as "always picking up QBs and developing them."

EJ and RW look to have the potential to be a very, very nice QB/WR combo in the immediate future and I could certainly see RW being our "#1" before the season is over. Also, Kiko does seem to have some great instincts and a nose for making big plays. But on the flip side, it's only 4 weeks so far and legends are not made in 4 weeks or even a season. EJ has some growing pains to go through still and his accuracy and timing with the receivers needs to improve (as it should need to with a rookie QB in his 4th week). But I can say that at this point I couldn't ask for anything more then what we've got from these rookies so far and if you don't agree then I think your expectations are just unrealistic. Also, the rookie staff (HC and OC namely) have some growing pains to go through as well. This weekend they repeated the mistake they made in the Pats game. At the end, they were trying not to lose the game by trying to just run it out and hope for a first down to kill the clock. Instead, I think they need to be trying to win the game and not be afraid to call a pass on first or second down (and this weekend 3 and long and they ran it again???). I feel we were lucky to hold on at the end this week and we all know what happened week 1. Go big or go home...a loser.

This. While I loved his attitude and heart, he just simply didn't have the arm to get it done. Was he hurt by poor coaching? Absolutely. But, he wasn't and will never be a Super Bowl winning quality QB with his skill set. I would still love him as our backup QB.

All you idiots bashing his wife...WTF? God forbid a rich athlete actually marry someone because he loves her not because everyone thinks she's hot. F'n idiots.

I've become convinced that no one understands the difference between dramatic/drastic and dramatically/drastically anymore.

I don't think anyone on here is talking about Geno Smith if the Bills win on Sunday, regardless if the Jets win or lose.

All Madden setting. FGs are slower playing vs another player online over vs the computer.

It was not Madden, it was another person who controls the Vikings. I have first overall FA pick and there are a lot of good veteran players in the FA pool right now, so not that lopsided of a deal at all.

Traded Da'Rick and Justin Rogers plus my FA Draft slot for CB Xavier Rhodes, rookie 1st round pick of the Vikings.

Only threw to Gragg those two times all game. What the highlights don't show is that I ran about 25 times for 170 with CJ and Fred. I basically only keep plays of 10 plus yards, scoring plays, and defensive loss plays. I was up way too much to care about the safety, but I don't know what he was doing there, computer ran me into the endzone. The unis were a custom one I made with the AFL throwback jerseys and the road blue pants. Inevitably, one of the top 3 WRs will be hurt and Goodwin will slide right in to the slot. In the meantime I'll just keep improving his route running and catching through the practices.

Maybe it will go like this? 32 man Sim Style League Highlights.

So obviously you guys aren't golfers. That's clearly a sea serpent, not a dragon.

Are you sure you don't just want to sit EJ the whole season so he has a whole year to prepare for the NFL and not risk injury?

Home division game against the best team in our division. If your best QB is healthy enough to play you play him. PERIOD. Division games are too valuable. To suggest you sit him no matter what, suggest that we throw in the towel on season before a regular season snap even occurred. I'm not down with that at all.

Cincy can't be a surprise pick when they have been to the playoffs two years in a row and most people are selecting them to win the division.

Looking at his track times, I believe we already have someone faster in Goodwin.
