Interesting if true! http://www.nfl.com/news/story?id=09000d ... nfirm=true Doesnt look like they are going to get rid of his ludicrous contract that easy unless they release him!

Mark Bulger has been released by the Rams according to Adam Schefter.........

I guess they were waiting to see if he had improved since the end of the season?

Does the McNabb move mean Washington almost certainly goes with Okung in the draft at 4 as long as Detroit dont get him at 2 (which i dont think they will)? Does this also mean that Clausen could possibly slide down the draft?

I think Shanahan will want a LT if he possibly can, and if Okung is available, I can't see him dropping past the Redskins. The Lions on the other hand, need a LT and have been projected in a lot of mocks to take Okung, but they have signed the Guard from the Seahawks (Sims?), so that may lend itself to drafting Suh. I would be shocked if the Bucs didn't take Suh or McCoy.

Re: NFL Chat 3 : Tue Apr 06, 2010 4:43 pm  

For what it's worth, my Mock v1!

1 - St Louis - Sam Bradford QB - Wouldn't be my choice, but I bow down to those with greater knowledge than me!

2 - Detroit - Ndamukong Suh DT - The smart choice for me is Okung, but I can't see the Lions taking him now with the capture of Simms from Seattle

3 - Tampa Bay - Gerald McCoy DT - Possibly a better fit for the system than Suh anyway - however the choice is taken away from them

4 - Washington - Russell Okung OT Best prospect tackle in the draft to protect the newly aquired McNabb

5 - Kansas City - Eric Berry S - The best player in the draft for me, I love Berry and cannot let him drop any further, despite a low positional value - KC secondary, meet your new leader.

6 - Seattle - Bryan Bulaga OT - Never taking a QB after the Whitehurst trade, so Caroll takes the best available tackle

7 - Cleveland - Jimmy Clausen QB - What?!?! No way does Holgrem take Clausen after what he's said. I'm calling his bluff, Jake Delhomme is not the answer in Cleveland, Clausens the future (please don't let them get burnt with another ND QB!)

8 - Oakland - Bruce Campbell OT - Stupid pick, but it's Al Davis and Campbell had a great combine

9 - Buffalo - Dan Williams NT - Buffalo are moving to a 3-4. The most important person in a 3-4 defense IMHO is the NT. Buddy takes the best NT in the draft

10 - Jacksonville - Derrick Morgan DE - Kapaman (sp) has signed, but they still need help getting pressure - Morgan should do that. I imagine they'll be trying to trade down from this spot

11 - Denver - Ronaldo McClain LB - One of my favourite players in the draft and a great 3-4 ILB

12 - Miami - Jason Pierre-Paul DE/LB - I don't like this pick, but Parcells loves his 1st round LB's - Dez Bryant would be an option

13 - San Fran - Earl Thomas S - Too high I hear you scream. I'm not having it, I love this lad and so will Singletary

14 - Seattle - Dez Bryant WR - You invested a lot of money - admittedly cheap comparbly to others - in a QB who has proved nothing, may aswell give him a chance

15 - New York Giants - Sean Weatherspoon LB Another player I love and I think a great fit for the NYG D

16 - Tennessee - Joe Haden CB - He's dropped, and I have no good reason why other than I saw other teams with more pressing needs. Tennessee take BPA and it happens to fill a need

17 - San Fran - CJ Spiller RB - Change of pace to Gore, some might claim a luxury pick, but this guy is going to rip it up!

18 - Pittsburgh - Mike Iupati G - High for a Guard? Maybe, but Iupati has the skill set to play RT too

19 - Atlanta - Brandon Graham DE - I really like Graham and this simply fills a need for the Flacons

20 - Houston - Kyle Wilson CB - Matthews is a real possiablity, but CB is a more pressing need - Wilson is a straight replacement for
Robinson

21 - Cincinnati - Brian Price DT - Yet another player that I really like, and will help the Bengals front

22 - New England - Jared Oderick DE - Perfect 3-4 DE and I
can't see the Pats letting him drop past them

23 - Green Bay - Trent Williams OT - The pass protection improved after the Tampa game, but the value here is immense - if Williams lasts til this pick, I'll show my ar*e in Debenhams window!

24 - Philadelphia - Devin McCourty CB - Trading Brown away has left a need at CB and McCourty could, if needed start straight away

25 - Baltimore - Jermaine Gresham TE - Todd Heap won't be there forever, Gresham give Flacco more weapons - his off season will be like Christmas if this was to happen

26 - Arizona - Anthony Davis OT - Need + Value = no brainer

27 - Dallas - Nate Allen S - They could easily take Brown (the OT) but Jerry doen't take O-Line players in round 1, Allen's the 3rd S to go in the 1st round

28 - San Diego - Ryan Matthews RB - LT is gone, Sproles isn't an every down back, Matthews is, welcome back to SoCal Ryan (he's a Southern Calfornian native!)

29 - New York Jets - Sergio Kindle - A top defensive player is on the board and Rex Ryan is the head coach - Kindle's gone to NYC

30 - Minnesota - Maurice Pouncey C - Decent value and the Vikings know as much as anyone the improtance of dominant linemen

31 - Indianapolis - Jahvid Best RB - Do I expect this to happen? Probably not. Will it help the Colts? Yes, they will potent playmakers all over the offense. Best would excel with the dominance of Manning beside him. The more sensoble pick here would be Charles Brown of USC

32 - New Orleans - Carlos Dunlap DE - Nice fit for New Orleans and good value

Re: NFL Chat 3 : Tue Apr 06, 2010 8:43 pm  

As a Redskins fan I am delighted with this move.

I suspected we were either going to give a whole lot up to get Bradford which would be a disaster for us. Not that Bradford won;t go on to be a star but we have so many other needs and so few draft picks. I reckon we'd have taken Clausen with the 4th overall pick and whatever Tackle was available in the 2nd round.

This deal gives us a pro bowl QB right now and a chance to take the best Tackle with the fourth pick. Even better, if someone really wants Clausen they may want to trade letting us move down a bit and acquire more picks.

I also like the way Shannahan is dealing with Haynesworth. get with the programme or get the f out. There's a change at Redskins Park and I thin kit will make us winners.

I like Campbell and think he is a solid NFL quarter-back. He would certainly be an upgrade for the likes of the Raiders, Bills and many other teams so, hopefully, he gets a chance to start and we acquire a 3rd or 4th rounder for him.

I guess it means there were waiting to see if they could agree a contract in principal with Sam Bradford's agent. With the Redskins out of the picture Bradford's bargaining position just went down a bit.

Re: NFL Chat 3 : Tue Apr 06, 2010 10:56 pm  

Lions reportedly interested in Trent Williams, reckon they'll move down.

I highly disagree with picks 1 and 4 but i'll play along.

1 St. Louis Rams - QB Sam Bradford. The Rams opt for a franchise QB.
2 Detroit Lions - DT Ndamukong Suh. Best player in the draft IMO. Although McCoy is also a beast, so he could be taken over Suh.
3 Tampa Bay Buccaneers - DT Gerald McCoy next best D line man, will help pass and run D
4 Washington Redskins - OT Russell Okung, offensive line should be a priority for the Skins

Wonder how this'll pan out Mr Conroy?

DHB changes his number in Oakland, new year, new start and the Raiders are apparantly interested in Tebow, made a very good impression apparantly.
