What exactly does Jerry Jones know and when did he know it?

Said Cowboys owner Jerry Jones of WR Dez Bryant's issues with punctuality, "We had a president that couldn't get there on time a lot, Bill Clinton. Seriously. But boy, when he got there, he brought the wood."

Freaking JJ.

Just when I thought Mel Kiper has completely lost his marbles, he gives us Terrence Cody in his updated round 2 mock.

Has any mock draft pick ever made less sense?

LenDale White is available...any thoughts?

NO!!!

We need a scat back, i'm tired of slow RB's... We already have Grant / Jackson / Green... None with top notch speed...

He's a great back, especially on the goal line. Thing is we don't need him. We need a smaller, quick change of pace back.

There's a reason why he's called "LenWhale" ....

Buluga had a thyroid infection, and it has tested fine since treatment. Doesn't sound like the kind of condition that would require radiation or removal. Though, I have never heard of a thyroid infection.

De Quervain's Thyroiditis
De Quervain's thyroiditis (also called subacute or granulomatous thyroiditis) was first described in 1904 and is much less common than Hashimoto's thyroiditis. The thyroid gland generally swells rapidly and is very painful and tender. The gland discharges thyroid hormone into the blood and the patients become hyperthyroid; however, the gland quits taking up iodine (radioactive iodine uptake is very low), and the hyperthyroidism generally resolves over the next several weeks.
Patients frequently become ill with fever and prefer to be in bed.
Thyroid antibodies are not present in the blood, but the sedimentation rate (which measures inflammation) is very high.
Although this type of thyroiditis resembles an infection within the thyroid gland, no infectious agent has ever been identified, and antibiotics are of no use.
Treatment is usually bed rest and aspirin to reduce inflammation.
Occasionally cortisone (steroids, which reduce inflammation) and thyroid hormone (to "rest" the thyroid gland) may be used in prolonged cases.
Nearly all patients recover, and the thyroid gland returns to normal after several weeks or months.
A few patients will become hypothyroid once the inflammation settles down and therefore will need to stay on thyroid hormone replacement indefinitely.
Recurrences are uncommon.

Interesting Blip in JS

The selection of Bulaga meant the Packers lost out on outside linebacker Jerry Hughes, who went 31 to Indianapolis. Hughes was a player the Packers had targeted before Bulaga's descent.

Bulaga's decent changed a lot of things, I imagine. Bulaga is reportedly one of 3 players TT was willing to package our first and third to move up to get, so when he fell into our lap at 23 I'm sure TT was as giddy as a 13 year old girl at an N'Sync concert.

There's still a chance that TT could get really ambitious tomorrow and put together a package to move up and nab Kindle. Probably doesn't want to give up our 3 this year, as deep as the middle rounds appear to be, but I could see him putting together a 2 and a 4 to move up 10 spots or so if he's still there.

I really think Kindle is going to be in the top 6 picks tomorrow..tough to move up that far

If he keep falling then I think the GM's know something we don't about the guy

I was also in love with Odell Thurman..spectacular player....but a terrible person who was destined for some extreme trouble...aka Lawrence Thunderbook (was that the Ram RB's name)

I'm wondering if Kindle is just a bad person nobody wants to touch

Great pass rushing skills; I'd love to see TT move up to nab him
I'd also be real intrigued by TT moving up for Taylor Mays in round two

Should be interesting tomorrow

I'm stocked to be in here all of tomorrow night

Supposedly, he has bad knees. Bone on bone and needs microfracture surgery. If so, I understand why he slid and I could see him slide into round three. At that point, the risk is not as great.

Rastak. To trade or not to trade? That is the question. Will you be disappointed if Clausen is drafted in the #33 slot one pick before the Vikings? Do you want them to draft one of the two QB's? Or who are you looking for in this pick? Mays, Kindle?

[Rastak]

Early word, Rams don't like any offered deals. If the Vikes do not want Clausen or McCoy then they should auction off their pick....then grab a CB.

Hi Ras!

And here we go.....Are the Rams going to trade down?

They should take McCoy.

I would take Clausen so I'd be a bit disappointed but not devastated if they traded down. Grab Cook or Ghee.
