2011 NFL Draft

Concerns about Phil Taylor.. has bones growing together in his feet, they can't correct it, it's a pain tolerance issue

Teams are red-flagging DT Phil Taylor's feet - CBSSports.com (http://rob-rang.blogs.cbssports.com/mcc/blogs/entry/13682485/28589722)

I think at this point I'd pass on the guy

Same with Mark Ingram (RB). I think the latest report was his injury is not healing well and actually might be a liability for the future. Now they are saying he might be projected not to get drafted until late rounds.

The Sammy Baugh factor alone should have all Skins fans welcoming Dalton with open arms! lol

I still say Pat Devlin is gonna be the biggest QB surprise to come out of this Draft.

:laughing- Very good 30gut. :) Just out of curiosity though, what were your thoughts on Bradford after getting drafted by the Rams? I respect your posts and am curious about your thoughts on his future.

I thought he would be groomed by a well trained WCO disciple in Pat Shurmur.
QB coach/Offensive Assistant:

Pat Shurmur
Quarterbacks Coach


One of the rising stars in the NFL's coaching ranks, Pat Shurmur is in his seventh season as the Eagles quarterbacks coach and his tenth as a member of Andy Reid's staff.........

Bradford showed more arm strength then I thought he had and of course will always be very accurate.

I kinda hope he has a rough year simply because I hate McDaniels, but without question McDaniels knows how to coach the passing game.

I think Bradford might start off slow this year, but will finish strong and continue to improve.

Same with Mark Ingram (RB). I think the latest report was his injury is not healing well and actually might be a liability for the future. Now they are saying he might be projected not to get drafted until late rounds.

It's funny you mention Mark Ingram, but this was a following tweet from a insider. Not sure if Smoot has commented about him (ingram) yet.

Mark Ingram knee is costing him, not graded n first n a lot of boards n no longer even considered number 1 back n e more 10:34 AM Apr 14th via web


So many smoke screens out there it's impossible to see the truth about a lot of things.

I think Ingram will be a late first rounder and still be the top running back in this draft. Leshoure, Ryan Williams and possibly Kendall Hunter could all be 2nd rounders

Bold or not I'm with you. Everyone is down playing Dalton like he's never going to be a starter. They say he can't run, yet all video shows him running well on designed QB sneaks. They say he has no pocket awareness, yet he knew when to escape the pass rush and make something out of nothing. They say he can't throw on the run, yet he did throw a lot from roll outs. Plus he's smart.

Andy Dalton = Josh Heupel. I hope someone else reaches for this guy and not us. 5th or 6th rounder fine.

I don't think they're going to take Dalton. But that might just be wishful thinking

I think Locker makes too much sense for the Shanny's considering the offense they want to run. Dalton and Ponder, not so much.

I don't like Dalton, ponder's alright, Stanzi can fit though, and Peter Kings high on him too..

Oh man....I hate to be the bearer of bad news...oh who am I kidding? I love giving people bad news. It's like they're walking down the street and then BAM you drop a piano on them and ruin their day.

UPDATE: Add Pete Prisco of CBSSports.com to the list of people who don't see the Washington Redskins trading up in the NFL draft. However, he does report that the Redskins are actively trying to trade down.

"According to a league source," Prisco writes, "the Redskins are looking to trade down in the first round with the idea they will draft either Florida State quarterback Christian Ponder or TCU quarterback Andy Dalton. The Redskins, who pick 10th overall, would like to get a second-round pick from a team in exchange for moving back to their spot in the first round. They could then use their two second-round picks to bolster the defense."

The New England Patriots, with their half-dozen picks in the first three rounds, might make the ideal trading partner for Washington. "The Patriots might have their eye on an edge rusher -- like Ryan Kerrigan of Purdue -- or a receiver like Julio Jones of Alabama," Prisco writes.
