Exactly. I just don't get this team and the direction they're going. They probably could have traded down, and hell, picked up an extra 3 or 4 and still have gotten Watt or someone that will help as much as him.

Phillips said there's a possibility that Mario Williams could play DE or OLB. "I wouldn't be surprised at anything he can do."

Watch the Pats take Prince and make us regret not taking another one of their CBs.

Yeah, if we were determined to draft a CB last year, I wanted Devin McCourty

Me too. I never watched much of McCourty in college, but he stood out big-time to me watching the combine. There was just something about his hip movement and fluidty that appeared much better than the other guys.

OK, Texans... Make a bold move and come up and get Prince.

[Big Texas]

They don't know what a bold move is...

My thoughts exactly.......


I would have much rather preferred Fairly at end if we were gonna stay put.

[Fonz the Boss]

I know we are going defense again in the 2nd rd but I really want Titus Young on my team.... Jacoby Jones can get released for all I care.
