The NO Saints demonstrating foresight and damage control in this signing. This player is productive. Cost?

“Curtis is a versatile, hard-working player that has displayed a knack for being around the football, and more importantly, making plays on the ball,” G.M. Mickey Loomis

Woodbuck27, I appreciate the good intentions, but most of us can use our a web browser to go to the PFT site ourselves (perhaps not some of the older folk, but they found Packerrats, so they can't be too web-challenged...). Do you think it might make more sense to limit the number of PFT posts to one per a day? Perhaps you can pick the best article of the day and start a thread on that issue? Thanks for your consideration.

Son luck and RG3 will go one-two but what will the vikings do/

There's talk now that the Vikings will pass on * LT Matt Kalil. That they will stay on offense but can't pass on **WR Justin Blackmon. This is an impressive prospect at WR and IMO will be a dominanat receiver in the NFL paired with a decent QB.

LT Matt Kalil Vs WR Justinn Blackmon .........

* LT Matt Kalil.... Get's it done and may be an instant starter in the NFL.

** WR Justin Blackmon ......

Check out this amazing WR !!! He's something else. We know what Calvin Johnson means to the Detroit Lions. See any similarities?

Video length is 5:39.

Matt Kalil or Justin Blackmon? There's a tough decision.

I would have a tough time passing on WR Justin Blackmon giving the fact my team is weak in terms of offensive weapons for it's QB's to pair up with. Then againn thatv QB has to be onn his fet to deliver the pass to a WR. LT Matt Kalil? Justin Blackmon is the glamour pick.

Who's your pick if your the Vikings GM?

This seems to rule. IND - A. Luck, WAS - R. Griffin, MIN - M. Kalil, CLE - T. Richardson, TB - M. Claiborne, STL - J. Blackmon

Maybe the Robert Griffin III to Indy and Justin Blackmon to Minny is media spin. What do you think?

[sharpe1027]

I'm sure IND doesn't mind the press since it can only help in their negotiations with Luck. With the new rooki cap, however, it's not as big of a deal.

Why would he? Publicly anyway.

Yes nice point.

I appreciate your candor RE: me and posting one article a day off PFT.Com. That's just not my style Packer fan. I'll explain why?

It's this seemingly menial dtuff to some Packer fans that intrigues me as an NFL fan. I love the Packers and have for over 50 years; but more and more I enjoy the NFL overall. It's becoming all very interestinfg to me as an amatuer or wanna be NFL anayst. It gives me some edge in the PRO Pickem' challenge each season. To have a more solid understanding of what all teams are in terms of strength and how exactly they got there.

I trust that others here at Packerrats may think along the same lines. Any NFL news is good news. It's alot like the newspaper.

Some folks dig right into municiple or regional political news. Others love anything having to do with entertainment; maybe for some it's the Sports Section and the Comics. While others eat into the Classifieds. We're all different and as a Packerrat contributor I put in my personal time to give all readers here a smorgasborg of NFL information. A poster can take what he/she needs from it all. Some here will scream and shout at my efforts. (-:

Tha's 'just' too bad...... so sad.

[Guiness]

If Kalil is all that and a bag of chips at LT, you take him, no question. Second most important position on a team, and probably the one that can do the most damage if not properly manned.

I think LT's at the top of the draft tend to be more sure bets as well? Of course, there's always the Robert Gallery's of the world - he wasn't a flop, but wasn't the 'plug and play at LT for 10 years' he was supposed to be.
