So, latest is, if things go as hoped for the Redskins...Lotus will get exactly what he's been hoping for.
So, that would be Jordan and Ponder
Though personally I'm not ready to shut the door on Quinn
But again, latest rumor Jordan and Ponder. I suspect a trade up for Ponder would be necessary
I'd love to get those 2 guys. It would be the best draft we've had in a long time.
Getting Orakpo was amazingly lucky, but getting two players of this caliber...when was the last time?

Taylor and Cooley?

^ Yeah, it's been a while since we had a good draft day. We THOUGHT we had a good one with Thomas/Kelly/Davis...

We did?
All we did on that draft was to help sterilize the gene pool a little bit.

Consensus here was yes.

I give you credit for trashing the picks, but then again, you're ALWAYS pessimistic! :P

You poor soul. It could be worse, you could be stuck with Philly fans.
probably their reference to the "puff puff pass" because you would have to be high to select ponder at 10.
according to Mike Jones, Dan Gosselin of the Dallas Morning News has us taking Ponder 10th overall...

I'd really like to trade down but if we are stuck w/ # 10....
I am going against the grain and saying JJ Watt. He'll be a beast at DE somewhere and really meets our needs at DE which will also improve the NT situation and help out Orakpo.
Ponder at #10 would definitely be a shock and a huge reach. I wouldn't like it at all.
