But if I had to make a guess Ted might go with a DT or DE after Raji took a hiatus this year.

No announcement yet.
Which direction do you think TT will go in the draft?

My guess is that he takes on in the second round and its the guy Bretsky and wist have been posting they don't want.Originally posted by Fritz View PostMy one prediction is that he'll take an ILB way way later than we'd like. We'll be throwing things at the tv.
Bud Adams told me the franchise he admired the most was the Kansas City Chiefs. Then he asked for more hookers and blow.

...and by doubling up in the second, a position of potential weakness became a position of strength, Hayward became expendable, and cap money was saved. The impact of not having to pay Hayward might manifest itself in 2017, when the O-line is hit hard with expiring contracts.Originally posted by Pugger View PostOnly Ted and God knows what direction he will go on draft day. Last year we were all certain he'd take an ILB but he surprised us all taking Randall instead.
Yet, some will complain that TT has done nothing to fill holes or get better, when, in fact, that is exactly what he has done, but in a more subtle way than by going out and signing a big name FA.

Who you talking about?Originally posted by pbmax View PostMy guess is that he takes on in the second round and its the guy Bretsky and wist have been posting they don't want.
One time Lombardi was disgusted with the team in practice and told them they were going to have to start with the basics. 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.

And my guess is that if that guy has a very good rookie season, Wist will continue to grumble that the guy is no good and posters just aren't realistic like he is.Originally posted by pbmax View PostMy guess is that he takes on in the second round and its the guy Bretsky and wist have been posting they don't want.

No idea. My claim is kinship to Grecian theatre (wist/Bretsky are the chorus) than predictive methodology.Originally posted by Maxie the Taxi View PostWho you talking about?Bud Adams told me the franchise he admired the most was the Kansas City Chiefs. Then he asked for more hookers and blow.

I get it. In that case, I won't disagree with you.Originally posted by pbmax View PostNo idea.

I'm just afraid we have a lot of holes heading into the draft:
-DL
-OL after this season
-If we move Clay to ILB permanently, then I think we could add an OLB
-If we move Clay to OLB permanently, then I think we could add an ILB
-3rd down RB
-TE
^That is the order I would rank them in as far as importance.
Seems like a tough task for 1 draft and no FAs IMO.

My wishlist:
1. Boundary cornerback
2. OL
3. ILB
4. TE
5. DL
I wouldn't call any of them holes, its not like any of these will be called on to start without injuries, but these are the positions where I feel its easiest to make the team. I'd love to put WR up there too because of how much they sucked last year but its already a logjam.
More than anything we need our existing players to take a step forward. We've got a lot of guys who are either still in the steep part of the learning curve or only need to get a little better to make a big impact.70% of the Earth is covered by water. The rest is covered by Al Harris.

I've been thinking the same thing. TT has been joking with reporters at his recent news conferences, to an extent that is uncharacteristic for him. The promotion of Wolf is to a title carried by TT last year or the year before. I think TT will stay through the end of his contract, but with a continual transfer of responsibilities.Originally posted by Deputy Nutz View PostHere is my prediction; This is Thompson's last draft.

I agree with the content of your list, but I would switch 1 and 5. If you have a DT rated higher than an ILB, the best gift to any ILB on the team is to have a guy like Vernon Butler disrupting the middle. Here is a Gil Brandt list of defensive players that he considers underrated. http://www.nfl.com/news/story/0ap300...2016-nfl-draft The kid from Nebraska is intriguing too. I would love it if Sheldon Rankins dropped to 27th. Another great scenario would be if Reggie Ragland somehow dropped to 27th (likely won't) and Green Bay was able to get Maliek Collins at DT in the 2nd round, and an OL in the 3rd or 4th round, and possibly get that Tyler Higbee kid from WKU. Another scenario could be Sheldon Rankins in the 1st and Deion Jones in the 2nd.Originally posted by 3irty1 View PostMy wishlist:
