It's ditto.

Quit being a little bitch. I have grown to be more irritated by the stupid egging on shit that you pull that by Wausau's manboner for Marshawn. Grow up.

Didn't you read the post below that? It was a joke. PP42 knew that.

If Lynch wasn't such a dumbass, than maybe, just maybe, I'd change my mind about him. However, he is as dumb as a sack of rocks. That really puts me off.

Do you really think that anyone of those first round picks are intelligent? I think a few quarterbacks might be, the obvious offensive linemen or two, but rarely, and I mean rarely, do you see an intelligent skill position player.

Lynch may not be as articulate, but I highly doubt there is much difference between his and adrian petersons intelligence.

I'm not expecting these guys to be Barack Obama or anything, but at least give me a guy like Jennings or Driver. I don't want some rockhead with the intelligence of an 7th grader.

driver use to be a drug dealer

i'd say a good chunk of nfl players aren't all that smart. sure they got to go to college, but you never see any of those guys in actual classes. i only knew 1 football player that would show up to class everyday, and he had to ask a lot of questions to keep up, but at least he was trying his ass off. most guys only show up for the finals, and nothing else

A lot of the UW guys are actually fairly intelligent. Joe Thomas is supposedly a very nice person and a good guy. The gf has met him before.

Re: Lynch

Well it's no secret that I've been advocating Bowe at 16 if he's there but I'm coming around to the Lynch side now. The most important part of a back to me is his pass catching ability and Lynch has that.

I really want Bowe, too. He is gonna be the 2nd best wideout in the draft when all is said and done.

I'm going to laugh - I'm sorry, but I will - if we get to #16, Lynch is sitting there like a pork chop in front of a dog, and the Commish announces that Ted has traded down and picked up another second rounder in exchange.

We get so hung up on first and second round guys, and while they provide the bulk of most teams (I think) there are also great pros who you never hear about early in the draft. Was anybody here yearning for Donald Driver on draft day?

I see why we do, though - given limited time that we all have it's hard to scour every position down to the lower rounds, so we have to rely on what we hear about the bigger names. Then we pick our faves, and when we don't see the Pack draft them, we're bummed. Heck, a couple years ago I had a boner for Odell Thurman. And look where he's at now. Where is he at now? A Cincinnati crack house?

Also kudos to MJ for pointing out that assaulting a woman is a big deal, period. It's weird how we so easily dismiss criminal assaults when guys are talented athletes.

[BallHawk]

I'd love to trade down. Actually, I'd prefer we'd trade down. Than we could maybe pick up an OL, RB, WR later in the 1st and pick up a 2nd rounder.

I like how TT structures it: he puts guys into what I'd call "talent groups." From wht I understand, that means he will pick guys - maybe four or five or so - that he thinks are equally talented. If we get to #16, and he's got maybe four guys that he thinks are equally talented at that spot, and somone wants to trade from the #19 spot, TT will do it, knowing he'll get a guy from that talent group. But if someone comes calling from the #24 spot, it won't be a go.

One thing TT hasn't shown yet is his willingness to trade down in the first round. I'm interested to see if this draft holds form and he keeps his #1. I expect him to trade down in the 2nd & 3rd rounds for more picks.

"Lynch will have someone to keep an eye on him. He plans to bring his mother with him wherever he goes. Lynch has 'Mama's Boy' tattooed across his back and said the first thing he will do after signing his rookie contract is to buy her a house," reports Tomlinson.

Well, this should help you guys relax that Lynch will stay out of trouble. His Momma will keep him in line.

from different board----
There are no actual reports of this, but I am reading behind the lines a bit here. Buffalo has officially put Willis McGahee on the trading block, and have been telling other teams as much at the combine. He is a free agent after this up coming season, and it appears that Buffalo doesn't like their chances of resigning him.

With Buffalo picking at #12, I think they become the front runners to draft Marshawn Lynch. They don't have anyone of substance behind McGahee, so they would need to replace him in the draft. Even if they don't trade him, I think we can expect them to draft a RB high, knowing that McGahee won't be back after this season.

Here is a link to the article:

Lynch wont be there at 16th pick

I don't believe that for a second. If McGahee is going to be gone after next season I would think they would find his replacement next off-season. And if they do take Lynch I'll be ticked.

its true he hasnt traded down in the first down. but you hafta take into account other teams as well. trading up in the first costs a lot, especially since we had the #5 overall pick last year. 2 years ago, TT believed that he got a bargain when rodgers a projected top 10 pick fall down to him. so we will see what happens this year.

[Zool]

Buffalo drafted McGahee coming off a ridiculous injury when they already had Henry coming off a 1200 yard season. Why would this be different?

With Barber gone, Giants show interest in McGahee

http://sports.espn.go.com/nfl/news/story?id=2778174

INDIANAPOLIS -- The Buffalo Bills are using part of their time here at the NFL scouting combine this weekend to apprise teams that starting tailback Willis McGahee is available via trade, and it appears they have attracted the interest of at least one potential suitor.

I'm telling you Lynch will not be there at 16

[BallHawk]

For the sake of the Packers' organization, let's hope this trade to the Giants works out.

I'd trade for McGahee, but TT probably won't. Not the end of the world, though.
