Patriots making a "big push" for Peppers, hopefully the lure of a better chance of winning and playing 3-4 convinces him to go to NE no CHI.

Eagles also in the mix.So thats 2 playoff teams or the Bears .Lovie Smith is visiting him today and hopefully we can sign him before the Pats and Eagles get a chance to talk to him.

Getting worried that we are going to take Bradford with the 1st pick. Our needs are far greater than a QB. If we go down that road it simply isn't going to be fair on the lad. A rookie QB doesn't stand a chance of making it at the Rams. We would be better sticking with Bulger and continuing to build elsewhere this off season IMO.

Franchise QB is your number 1 need. You cannot win without a good QB. Plus didn't you spend a first round, top 3 pick on a guy that is supposed to protect the QB?

I hope you go Suh, because then you'll be the team that become the LA Franchise.

I'd be more worried your going to take the wrong QB rather than the wrong position.

Kampman visiting the Eagles, Chester Taylor is a Bear and Brandon Marshall visiting the Seahawks to hammer out an offer sheet.

A-Kamp will be gone. I think the Eagles are a good fit for him.

Peppers is a bear also, apparently the deal is as good as finalized.

Don't Arizona only want a 3rd round pick?

Yep, but the Patriots don't have one so the rumoured offer is #53 (2nd round) for Boldin and a 3rd/4th

Team's can win without a franchise QB. We have a top notch RB and pretty much nothing else. Putting a shed load of money into a rookie QB who will get hit from pillar to post in his 1st season with to little to no talent around him just seems like a bad idea to me. Strengthen the rest of the team and maybe look at QB's next season when we will be picking in the 1st 5 or 10 again. From the stuff I've read i really want us to take Suh and maybe, if he drops to the 2nd, Clausen. Though i still think we should be looking to strengthen elsewhere.

BTW whats the deal with Clausen in mock drafts. I've seen him go in the top 5 in some and not even go in the 1st in others!
