Yo shore - where ya been?

Been around, not much to say in the offseason and I've tried to stay away from the political shtein cause I just piss everyone off.

[ice grillin you]

Well you gotta be about the player now. We can lament the fact that maybe Damontre Moore should've been the guy or someone else but this is who they've got. So either he balls out or crashes and burns.

I like his game because I like the well rounded DL who can anchor the run but push the pocket a bit. I think he will be a guy who is solid but not spectacular

He's better than some clown like Bryan Smith, Chris Gocong or whatever project they used to pick up and try to sell as some diamond in the rough.

hes a totally different player than either of those two but he will end up the same...hes basically like any number of scrub dt/de guys the birds hoped to throw in the mix over the last years....trevor laws.....abiamiri...lajuan ramsey ect....except unlike those guys he didnt even flash in college

[QB Eagles]

Chris Gocong was actually one of the best picks in that round. Only six players from that round are still in the NFL and none of them are or were impact players.

Just trying to set proper expectations for a third rounder.

my problem with a bennie logan is that you dont even really give yourself a chance to succeed....a damontre moore could be nothing and odds are he will be but he gives you an opportunity to at least get an extra base hit if not a home run

and its nt just moore....this year was in particular a bad year to miss in the second or third round because of the incredible depth of this draft...just look at the 3rd round...there were so many ways to go that were far better than bennie logan

Well you gotta be about the player now.

Poor choice of words, maybe. I hope they all do well, but if they don't I'm going to boo the shtein out of them complain about them here.

[Eagaholic]

i agree with pretty much all that except the take on the barkley pick....first of all how could they say he will never start for them and secondly they traded a 7th rounder to move up three spots...how can you be mad at that....its basically as minimal a trade up as you can get

On the opposite side of stupidity, Les Bowen said:

Given the fact that the team traded up to be in position to take him, with a porous secondary still unaddressed in the draft, you'd have to think Barkley is Kelly's quarterback of the future.

Yeah by giving up that precious seventh rounder, they have little choice but to start Barkley.

It was a perfectly timed move, considering that 4 QBs come off the board then. If they hadn't traded up they probably would not have gotten him. He was the consensus best QB still on the board at that time.

I don't necessarily agree with Bowen, and maybe it is the opposite. If a guy really thinks he can build and run systems around whatever the best players are that he can get, a 4th rounder is not much to pay for a solid backup type who is a good competent manager, even if he has to dummy down the offense. How Chipper used his earlier picks is more telling than his 4th, and he seems to be gathering his pieces for some modified version of what Chip is already known for. FA now and next year's priorities will be to build up the D and try to get a franchise qb.

gotta see another year out of him and if hes continues to progress youll need the number one overall pick to get him but teddy bridgewater has a chance to be the truth

[Rome]

Clowney goes 1 unless he rapes a Girl Scout in which case he still goes top 10.

no way....a franchise qb will always go ahead of any other position

[rjs246]

Also too how about if maybe they actually play football next season first before we go predicting #1 picks. Because Matt Barkley is a thing that happens.

[Tomahawk]

Pre-made argument for you knuckleheads

How about instead you take my word for it?

I can see the future and shtein.
