Thanks Already done!

Thanks, not sure that's working though. Broadcaster keeps telling everyone to go to another site that has a survey you have to take to get the stream. Survey asks for all sorts of details (address, Phone, etc..)

I'm not going to have access to cable tonight so I figured I'd look around for a draft stream. If you go here: http://www.nfl.com/draft/2010/live/landing It says "NFL.com/live is your online source for live streaming coverage of the 2010 NFL Draft." but I don't see another link to the feed. Is this something that will eventually pop up on it's own once the draft starts (I figure they probably already started coverage) or am I just missing something??

Whose draft boards has he fallen down?

1. Bulaga 2. Tebow 3. Cam Thomas 4. Riley Cooper 5. J.D. Walton 6. Andrew Quarless 7. Michael Palmer

RD 1: Spiller RD 2: Thomas RD 2 (trade up): Tebow I'm just going to prepare myself for this now. I'll need booze.

God forbid you help out and let everyone know where they stood. I found it helpful, thanks.

Well then if we're talking about the Bills, it really doesn't matter what they do.

Or something more like the Jets, who won with a rookie QB behind a very good line.

The problem I have with drafting a QB before the line is that not only do you put a rookie QB beind a crappy line, but if you make it a priority to fill the T position in next years draft, you're still putting your QB behind a line with a rookie tackle. If I had my way, I'd take Williams or Bulaga with the first pick and trade the second to Baltimore for Gaither (if that trade rumor is true) and finally set this friggin line and be done with it. That would give us a 2011 line of Gaither, Levitre in his 3rd year, Hangartner, Wood another year removed from his injury, and Bulaga/Williams coming into their second year. THAT is a line you can count on to protect a rookie QB, and I would celebrate the team doing whatever it needed to do to move up in next years draft to get their guy at QB, even if it means breaking the bank to get the #1 pick. Of course I don't expect that to happen, but I still think it's a mistake to line up a rookie behind nothing this year and expect a rookie to make everything all better next year. I'm not on the Clausen bandwagon, but I really don't have a huge problem with him either. I just don't think it's the right time.

Florida's coming into kind of a weird year. They have a lot of talented players coming into their second and third year as starters, but they also lost some very important players on both sides of the ball. There are a lot of guys that should be ready to take off this year, but it's tough to tell who will step up and who will fall off in the absence of last year's leaders. My best guess is DE William Green. The defensive line looks to be coming on strong this year, and I'm hoping Green can use that and the absence of Dunlap to make a name for himself. I'll give an honorable mention to WR Andre DeBose as I think he's going to make some highlight reels this year, but I think 2011 is going to be his breakout season. Have to admit I didn't pay much attention to Mizz after their first few games, but Smith looks to be a handful!

This is the same as saying the Jets were good last year becuase they drafted Sanchez, ignoring the previous drafts of linemen. There is a big difference between a team that goes far into the playoffs trying to fill their last few holes with vets and a team that is full of holes trying to rebuild from the ground up.

Something I always wondered about, if you didn't want to testify, about anything, couldn't you just plead the 5th? There really isn't a way for them to prove that you would or would not be incriminating yourself, is there?

Yes, he was.

That's nuts. I watch A LOT of SEC football and there was nothing in Crompton to suggest NFL talent.

I honestly have no idea. I can't imagine what he was seeing that could make him think Crompton could be anywhere near the #2 QB. Or a sleeper pick. I'm the type of person that, given the Brady's and Warner's of the world, will almost never completely count someone out, but there is no way Crompton becomes a successful NFL QB.

Think of it this way, from this point on you don't have to pay any attention to anything Russ Lande says. Cromptom was horrible. Tenn wouldn't even pass late in games when they were behind because they knew Crompton would screw it up. Seriously, I try not to go overboard with my criticism of these guys, but if there was ever a time when an "analyst" was literally pulling a name out of a hat, this has to be it.

No one had even heard of DHB before Oakland took him.

And for $1,450, you can too!

Yeah, but for the slider keyboard you also gain serious weight. That's what kept me from it.

I'm not too far away in NM right now. We'll have to meet up some Sunday for a game! Hard to find Bills fans around here.

I've seen that, but I'm not sure if all of that guaranteed money is a signing bonus. It may be just money that is guaranteed in the contract. If it's a signing bonus, Washington will have to pay, but if it's just part of the contract it will follow him to a new team. Regardless of the exact numbers, with the 32 million gone for the first 13 months and whatever additional signing bonus gets taken off, I don't think Washington will have too much trouble moving him if they are intent on making it happen. They're probably not going to get a 1st round pick, but if they want to settle for a 3rd or less he'd be gone in a day, I bet.

I've looked around, but can't find anything specifically about signing bonus money. I have found that he was guaranteed 32 million in the first 13 months (contract was signed end of February), so you can take that off the top. Again, depending on the signing bonus, it could bring the contract down to a pretty reasonable level considering his talent.

But how much is Washington on the hook for? The new team won't have to pay that much.

I don't remember what his contract was, but I'm guessing it included a large signing bonus. I'd bet there's a team that thinks he's worth a pick and his base contract.
