I didn't want Prince either but that Watt pick did surprise me. Rick said he would go for best player available instead of need and obviously Fairley was the best available.... I wasn't sold on Prince after I watched his highlights against OSU.

There has been a lot of talk lately that Fairley has come across as a guy who will mail it in a lot of the time once he gets the big check.

That's the benefit of having Suh on the roster. Fairley won't be allowed to 'mail it in' next to Suh.

? With Suh on roster, he could mail it in a quarter of the time and no one would notice.

Cam Heyward goes to the Steelers. I would trade them Watt for him right now.

Watt? We take another DL in the first round? I think the Texans want a D-unit with 11 DLs and no DBs.

Repeat after me: "We must get to Peyton Manning..."
