He held up a ball and said: "This is a football." McGee immediately called out, "Stop, coach, you're going too fast," and that gave everyone a laugh.

Mike Flanagan did it (Center to Tackle) for part of a season, in the most amazing position switch I have ever seen. No one covering the team thought that inured kid was going to be able to run right much less start after he started his comeback. Two years later he replaced Winters and then filled in for Cliffy after the Sapp hit. That season alone should put him in the Packer HOF.Bud Adams told me the franchise he admired the most was the Kansas City Chiefs. Then he asked for more hookers and blow.Comment

Pouncey has bounced around on the line a little bit at Florida, filling in for injured guys now and then. Urban Meyer liked that about him and McStubby seems to like that versatility too. Pouncey's a smart guy who works hard and has a great attitude. The Pouncey brothers played huge at Florida.Originally posted by pbmaxOne time Lombardi was disgusted with the team in practice and told them they were going to have to start with the basics.

I saw a different youtube video where he actually catches spiller from behind on a long touchdown run. Could really see the top end. 4th-5th round unless he runs a 4.3 on the combine ... then you could see him in the 3-4 maybe.Comment

I was pimping McCluster; I think you were as well
How do you compare Ford with McCluster ????TERD Buckley over Troy Vincent, Robert Ferguson over Chris Chambers, Kevn King instead of TJ Watt, and now, RICH GANNON, over JIMMY JIMMY JIMMY LEONARD. Thank you FLOWERComment

Yeah, I really like McCluster. Stature wise, it's not even close... Ford looks like a short football player out there. He's surprisingly thick. Maybe better top end speed and 100 yard play potential.Originally posted by BretskyOriginally posted by missionOriginally posted by Maxie the Taxi

McCluster on the other hand really has to be an exception to the rule. There isn't a ton of precedent out there for 5'6" guy but he plays really tough, can take SEC hits, stays in the game, makes lots of guys miss *like that* ... he extends plays and manages to get big first downs at big times when it doesn't look likely. His hands are top notch and he can make a big catch in traffic... often splits out.
I think overall McCluster has had more production on the field and just seems more into the game, more of a bigtime guy. If we missed out on Dex because someone grabs him 2-3 then I'd like to see Ford.
This is one of the most exciting, open-ended drafts for us that I can remember. You'd think with a low-ish pick of 23, it'd be a little more of a downer.Comment

I have to go with McCluster for one simple reason:
while he's breaking one, the announcers can say "Oh my God! It's a McCluster F*ck out there!""The Devine era is actually worse than you remember if you go back and look at it."

Trading up for CMIII was really exciting last year. Maybe TT is getting his groove on draftwise. It would be great to have another draft class that pushes veterans.Originally posted by mission[QUOTE=George Cumby] ...every draft (Ted) would pick a solid, dependable, smart, athletically limited linebacker...the guy who isn't doing drugs, going to strip bars, knocking around his girlfriend or making any plays of game changing significance.Comment

I'm not sure that trading up for CMIII was about pushing veterans. I think it was more about adding an element of the 3-4 defense that was completely missing. Not sure you'll see that this year unless TT trades up to take one of the top OT's.I can't run no more

Well, I think part of his trading up is probably that he realized that the roster is at the point where continuing to add "slightly above average depth guys and hope one of them exceeds expectations" isn't going to improve the roster much. It's the sort of thing you do when one of your WRs is named "Taco", but once you have a young roster that's fairly talented, quality starts to be more important than quantity.Originally posted by Joemailman</delurk>Comment

You didn't think Poppy felt pushed? I'm just saying, as Lurker interpreted, that we probably no longer need to wheel and deal our 7 picks into 10 draft picks. As you say, our needs are so specific that it would come as no surprise if TT moves up once or twice in this draft to get an OT or a defensive back that has dropped low enough to merit the swap. That's why I think this might be another exciting draft. Without so much pressure to add eight or nine players TT can play the draft differently.Originally posted by Joemailman
And who doesn't love, on draft day, the little tone sound that goes off to inform you that the Bengals have traded their pick to Green Bay...and then you KNOW that whoever TT picks is a guy he really, really likes.[QUOTE=George Cumby] ...every draft (Ted) would pick a solid, dependable, smart, athletically limited linebacker...the guy who isn't doing drugs, going to strip bars, knocking around his girlfriend or making any plays of game changing significance.Comment

I never saw Poppy as a serious candidate. I believe CMIII would have been the starter from day one if he hadn't hurt his hamstring twice.
I agree we probably won't see TT making 10-11 picks again. However, I think Matthews was something of a special case, and I don't think you'll see TT trading 3 picks for 1 this year either. TT may actually be kind of quiet on draft day this year and not make any deals.I can't run no more
