You should start writing your posts that way :)
"Well I just put little Celt Jr. to sleep, took a while because he's hopped up on fruit punch Capri Sun. Might want to keep an eye on Bryant Johnson. Ok, that's all I got. I'm beat! Need a break. I'm gonna take a nap now."
That's funny:) I am not a JLC basher either for the most part. I just wish he would stop doing that or at least curtail it...it doesn't come off well IMO.

For Chad Johnson or Roy Williams I'd strongly, strongly consider it. I'd love to get a 4th rounder as well out of it though.
I wouldn't even do it for Chad cause all he wants is more $. Roy Williams is the only guy I'd give up the draft pick for cause he's younger. But I'm still not sure I'd give it up for Roy.
Every starter on our O-line is 30+. Look at what happened to KC? They had a top 5 offense for how many years in a row? What happened when their O-line got old? It just killed them. Killed their whole offense cause they had no one waiting in the wings. Larry Johnson can't even get back to the LOS. Who's gonna block for CP when Kendall is out with sore knee's? Who honestly think's Thomas is going to hold up for 16 games? Sorry people, as much as we all want a #1 WR, it's not going to make a bit of difference when JC is lying on his back. We CAN NOT ignore the O-line another year.

Brandon Albert is looking pretty beast according to the scouts. I wouldn't be unhappy with that pick in the first.

the first round belongs on the line for us no doubt. i just hope it's the defensive line first.

Can't go wrong with UVa alums taken in the 1st/2nd round ... except maybe Jon Harris .... there aren't that many, but they are typically pretty good .... Wahoo Wa :)

We need a trade! This crop of free agent WR's is not going to help us.
He's behind Bolden and Fitz! With the edge and Warners broken elbow those numbers are fine. You think he's going to get the first look on that team?
He's a good solid player for a good price we take him and we're fine. Bringing in a huge contract for high draft picks is stupid and not going to happen.

He was drafted ahead of Boldin in the same year and never able to start over him. He's had plenty of opportunities to start (Boldin and Fitzgerald have missed stretches over the past two years) and never produced like either of them. The way the market is, you will have to overpay to get him. I don't know where you get that he is a "good price", you can't know that and all evidence would point in the opposite direction.

Where you're drafted means nothing. I will admit that Fitz and Bolden are better players, we all will. Just b/c he's on a team with two other pro bowlers and couldn't start in front of them does not take anything away from him.
What receivers have been signed so far in this FA period for huge dollars? Look at Lance Briggs, he tested the market and got no better offers than the Bears original. Its not that you're a FA its the position of need and he's not a NEED for Redskins just a luxury at this point, with our roster and draft picks we can afford to let the market come to us.....

Jerry Porter, $30M, $10M guaranteed

And, while draft status is not necessarily a predictor of ultimate success, it does give a player a leg-up in getting playing time initially. Players with higher draft status are typically given more opportunities than those from lower draft picks. That was my point.
More imporantly, he was given an opportunity to start eight games in 2007 due to injuries and never produced more than 80 yards and averaged only 39.75 yards. By comparison, in the six games that D.J. Hackett started he had three 100 yard games and averaged 79.66 yards/game.
