Pack locked in on OLB?

We still have TT as OUR GM. Nobody knows. (-:

[Bretsky]

Here comes Chandler Jones or Flody.......I'm guessing Jones

[HarveyWallbangers]

I'd just like to point out........My RAMS.........lights out getting all those second round picks !!!!!!!!!!!!!! GREAT PLAN !

That last trade seemed one sided. And not to their benefit. The got a nice haul for the RGIII trade.

Possibly, but not if you have a solid DE who can move into the pocket on a pass down. Would help immensely.

HOODY, while the greatest coach in the history of the NFL, lacks in picking the right players. He's great at working these deals but his drafts lately have been average at best.

He's no GM Genius Jerry when it comes to selecting players

You are right about his recent history. However, he may have just faked the Eagles into trading 3 picks to get Cox.

OVERVIEW
Cox is an early-entry junior who was a starter for two-and-a-half years at Mississippi State. He is a raw athlete who has room to develop. He has an impressive frame and is one of the more talented athletes at his position in the country. He relies heavily on his natural ability to make splash plays and has major upside.
ANALYSIS
STRENGTHS Cox is an impressive athlete who is capable of making big plays from the interior of the defensive line. He is extremely fast off the ball and can get into the backfield as quickly as any tackle prospect in the country. He has a high motor and pursues down the line of scrimmage with aggression. He can snap his hips into the offensive line to get a blowback effect; he can also dip and rip his hips around would-be tacklers to get into the backfield. Cox keeps blockers off of him with very active hands. He is a serious athlete who would immediately bolster the front of any defense and would work well in a rotation.
WEAKNESSES Cox allows himself to get completely washed away when faced with a double team, a symptom of his rawness. He tries to rely too much on his athleticism when working against the run; he doesn't think to set an anchor and remain a presence and gap-filler within the scheme he plays in. Cox could be a high-risk, high-reward player as a rookie.

Yes, it seemed like they should have got more than a second......but........still love their strategy. There will have a shot at drating three future stars in round two

Bunch of 2 rounders? There's gold in them thar hills.

Lately his trades have looked magical but his picks have been puke. If he capitalizes on all these picks...franchise...

So, after all these years you finally have come to TT's way of thinking.

[Rastak]

Cards take Floyd!

[Bretsky]

Fitz and Floyd....time for a run on defense I think

[Rastak]

Rams pissed - or they grab Hill......

[pbmax]

Adam Schefter @AdamSchefter

Arizona did wind up drafting Notre Dame WR Michael Floyd. Which should leave LSU DT Michael Brockers for St. Louis.

[red]

so, the cards have fitz, and now floyd, but still no one to throw the ball to either

nice
