One rumor I hope has serious legs

[b bulldog]

Who the hell :P cares what you think

i want revis

No way do I want a CB in round one; Hall and Revis should be solid pros but I'm not convinced either becomes a star.

With all our needs I just don't want a CB that soon.

You saying we need to NEEDS draft? Even I don't want that. I agree that we have more pressing needs than CB, but if that position is highest rated on the board, even I think we should take that...

nelson would be fine but I'm not crazy about having two very solid corners who happen to be in their thirties and than nothing behind them.

Me neither, but I like that a lot better than who we've got at safety... or RB...

"One NFL source said he thought that there was a good chance RB Michael Turner still would be dealt before or during Saturday's NFL draft, though no deal is close to the front burner. There still are any number of teams that need a running back -- Buffalo, Green Bay, Tennessee -- and not all will come away with a running back it trusts. Anyone that trades for him first will have to get permission from San Diego. But for the right price, the Chargers would be happy to oblige.

Uh... duh...

Any team that TRADES with San Diego, has to get permission to TRADE from San Diego?

Thanks Captain Obvious...

As opposed to one starter at safety with question marks behind them. Heck, at least we have two competent CB's.

I do think Underwood, even off of injury will be a competent S at worst but I have no proof to back up my claim.

I think Underwood and Culver are GREAT backups, but I question whether either is a good enough Safety to start.

I think Hamlin was clearly better than both of them and head and shoulders above Manuel.

Hamlin has had injury problems and obviously wasn't thought of real highly around the league.

Underwood tore an ACL; you just can't bank on that. Yes, reports have him ahead of schedule. For the most part every athlete is reported to be on or ahead of schedule.

I didn't pound the table for Hamlin, but he's certainly a better option than Manuel or the other projects

[MJZiggy]

So maybe we draft a safety?

I'm at peace with that if it occurs. There are some nice prospects that will be there in round one or two

That was why I posted that I thought Underwood will be a player this season but I have nothing to hang my hat on for proof.

bulldog, I agree with you for the most part. I just have a problem "relying" that'll be the case. "relying" on a position or two, is also acceptable in my mind, but we've got like 7 positions where we're "relying" that some unproven guy will step up, or where say Bubba Franks will bounce back.

Do you know the odds of ALL this actually occurring? It just isn't going to work.

You've often referred to 7; what are the 7 you refer to. For the fun of it I'd say

S
OG (I'm not sold on Spitz or the other yahoos)
RB
#3 WR
TE
RB
#3 CB


Do I win the prize ?
