TT noted he had him rated as the #1 DT over Okoye. But not a ton of game film to scout the guy on and grade him that high.

TT clearly likes the measurables on this guy

Not sure about that. The guy did play in 33 games in his career. He performed at a high level. There was game film to scout. You just have to assume that he'll get back to that level after the injury.

Hey Tar!! Your 2000th post. Congrats, man!!

Damned, I missed it!

Thanks, Ballhawk, too.

Morning (or something like it) all. Let's get things rollllling!

[Chubbyhubby]

my gut feeling is that because we went out and got offense the frst day. James Jones WR Brandon Jackson RB we are going to pick D the last remaining picks. I'd love it if they got TE Ben Patrick from Deleware. My gut tells me he will be gone when the Packers pick. The rumors that I had heard is that NE might get Randy Moss instead of us...

While watching the vid I had a couple of thoughts about Harrell.

He was on the ground a lot making plays. Your 40 time doesn't matter much diving at rb's from your knees.

He has an awesome sense for where the ball is. Harrell may have had more ints than Leon Hall. I agree with what you've said about how well he uses his arms to shed blockers. That may be how he got that torn bicep--an injury that another 92 once had.

I was hoping to see him blow guys up at the line of scrimmage, but he seems to go around blockers rather than through them. I hope that skill translates to the next level.

Is Tanard Jackson still out there, I think he would make a great 3rd.

I think he'll be picking some O line and TE help.

I don't know. We still seem to have a little wiggle room, but if Moss sticks to only being willing to renegotiate with NE, then it may not happen today as NE HAS to be thinking they have an inside lane and will offer less than AD will take. It will be a fascinating day and if anything gets done it will be right when I have to be away this afternoon.

Moss said he would only renegotiate with NE?

[Tarlam!]

I think TT will bundle all remaining picks, except the compensation 7th, and trade it for the first 4th rounder overall, so he can select a long snapper.

You heard it here first.










Yes, I am kidding.

Not really. He said he'd renegotiate with NE, so than someone on the internet assumed that meant he wouldn't renegotiate with the Pack. It's just gossip.

[MJZiggy]

I heard that yesterday morning, but it's likely been debunked and restated and debunked again since then. There is more misinformation out there than in a nasty election campaign.

[HarveyWallbangers]

Not getting Moss sure changes my attitude about the Jones pick. He seems like a guy that you get to be a slot receiver. We need the big vertical threat.

Exactly.

[Scott Campbell]

I have no problem with a DT being taken with the 1st pick, but I'm just a bit worried about the injuries this guy has sustained.

All injuries are not created equal. He didn't tear an ACL.
