Costanzo

Ingram
Bowers
Carimi
Wilkerson


to a lesser extent...Sherrod/Smith

Here is a contract situation to Ponder that might have little to do with the CBA (or might have a lot).

I think the contract windfall for picks stops currently at pick 7. If I remember correctly, either Eugene Parker and Crabtree and then the D lineman with the Jags both tried to get it to Pick 8 previously (remember Raji signing late was caused by this phenomenon at pick 8 ahead of him). There is a QB at Number 8 now. If 2011 rules are in place for draft pick contracts for this class, Locker might try to get the QB bonus AND the windfall to pick 8 depending on his agent. And that in turn will help the owners argue for the restructuring of the rookie pay scale.

Old prediction was Phil Taylor for this pick....but there are some stellar BPA's out there

alright, i think we're getting into the area where if tt is gonna trade up he could. trading #32 plus our second would get us into the lower 20's and our first and third would get us into the higher 20's, i think

just an FYI. if the fabled TT trade up happens, it'll happen soon

[Guiness]

Ok, last observation

NO ONE HAS PICKED UP BOWERS YET???

The rumour now is that he's 'bone on bone' in his knee

Castonzo has hot chicks all around him; I'm surprised he's still there at 21

[Brando19]

True, Guiness. I'm afraid Bowers is gonna be our pick...and it'll be a Justin Harrell pick.

I don't think Ayers is the type of guy the Packers covet to complement Matthews. I think they want someone who can bullrush a little bit.

imo he's the top tackle in the draft, could be another situation like bulaga

Yep. That was the rumor making the rounds, but his agent released a huge statement claiming while he did have damage fixed, and a microfracture done, it was nothing as severe as the rumors make it out to be. If the agent is to be believed, the repair was to an area less susceptible to further damage.

Well I wanted to put my man REED in there but figured I'd get bashed on......but Reed can bullrush !!

Phily....Indy....coming up......he's good as gone IMO

Yes he can. He could be the guy. Reed's been projected all over the place.
