Tebow in the first round....Ravens traded there spot tho I don't know for what but if your a Bronco fan you should be pretty happy, plenty of pick and already a good player on your team.


If the Broncos don't make the playoffs this year, they need to fire whoever decided to pick Tebow.

My Titans passed on Dez Bryant to take another freaking Defensive Lineman. God, I hate Jeff Fisher so much. I don't know what blackmail he has on Bud Adams to have kept his job this long, but he is horrible. Apparently averaging 9 wins a season and losing a Super Bowl ten years ago qualifies you for being the longest active tenured head coach in the NFL these days. Every year, Fisher builds the same 8-8 team, no wonder every player they have worth a damn bolts as soon as they hit free agency. I hate him. I hate him. I hate him. They should have fired him 10 years ago, I was so happy when they went 0-6 last year, I just knew he was out at the end of the season, but once again, I'm forced to sit through another year of mediocrity and the same offense that he ran when Eddie George was a rookie.

In case I didn't make myself clear: I HATE JEFF FISHER. HE IS THE WORST COACH IN THE NFL. Please God, let Bud Adams' finally sober up enough to realize how badly he svcks and fire his ass. Please?


I can tell you've never followed any of the following teams: Rams, Redskins, Falcons, Saints, Bucs, Bills, Raiders, Browns, Chiefs, Lions, Seahawks, or Cardinals.

Has Colt McCoy been drafted yet? Or Jordan Shipley for that matter?

I was hoping maybe the 49ers would take McCoy. Throwing passes to Crabtree? Mmmm I love some delicious irony.

I grew up as a 49ers fan in the 80's. I know what good football is. And Jeff Fisher is not a good coach.

Has Colt McCoy been drafted yet?

McCoy was drafted by the Browns @ pick #85 I believe.

And the Titans drafted Damien Williams WR from USC. So we may finally have a decent WR in Nashville. I still hate Fisher though.

Well the Cowboys day is over unless they trade back into the third round. Not to excited about drafting a Linebacker (Sean Lee). Not a glaring hole like Safety or Offensive Tackle. It's all good I guess, the third round is much more boring so far.

:( Ah well, at least McCoy will have a chance of playing with the Browns sooner than he would any other team.

Dissapointed that the Skins did not trade Campbell or Haynesworth for some picks.Maybe they can still get rid of Campbell for a couple of late picks.They only have 4 picks this year which is no surprise seeing how they have a low number of picks every year.

Bronco's should come close to the playoffs and maybe get a Wildcard they got a pretty easy schedule imo

I feel bad for the Browns organization and their fans.

Me too but the browns has had there good and bad more bad then good but some good but I feel for the Lions. They got almost 100 more losses then wins all-time (497-593-32) and not much going for em, not to mention there 0-16 season.
EDIT: What do yu guys think of the jags? Apparently LA is building a stadium and there aren't many fans of NFL in Jacksonville (or of at least the Jags) My dad says he think they'll move the jags to LA, just bringing it up.

I've heard many rumors over the past years. It is true that the Jags have one of the lowest fan bases and they've been at risk of having their games blacked-out a few times because of lack of ticket sales. The would seem to be the team to "move" if that so happens to be the case. I also remember hearing a while back that Las Vegas was lobbying to get a team. I would much sooner see LV get a team than LA. How many teams does Cali need?

I think with the NFL's current image and behavioral problems, giving Las Vegas an NFL team (whether by expansion or moving a current team) is a bad idea. If anything, they should just dissolve a few really crappy teams (lookin at you, Oakland).

LV doesn't sound too bad and I agree Cali has alot of teams and so dose Florida, but NFL could move a few teams around. The cardinals don't got too many fans, apparently by time they got a team everyone was Cowboys fans even after going to a superbowl. Maybe expand the league to Canada and put the bills there and maybe move the Raiders or Rams somewhere. The only problem with that is they have alot of history (more so the Raiders) that I don't think the NFL would get rid of them which is why the Cardinals and Jags make the good teams to pick. Not much of a fan base or history.
EDIT: not Chiefs, Rams

I grew up an Atlanta Falcons fan. You can do much worse than Jeff Fisher.

Yeah, recently the Lions have been bad, but there's no matching the horrors of the NFC South. Three of 'em are in the bottom five in League winning percentage:

28. New Orleans (.422) - "Go Ain'ts!"
29. Arizona (.419)
30. Atlanta (.415) - Back-to-back winning seasons for the first time in franchise history. (Since '66)
31. Tampa Bay (.392)
32. Houston ( .383)

Cali's got a lot of people, large market.

AFAIK the Cards have been doing very well the last few years since they opened their new stadium; prior to that it was brutal. The visiting team usually had more fans than the Cards did. :(

I've played football my whole life. Love the game and my hometown Bears. They got their first pick of the draft, Major Wright, not bad in the third.

Also, LOL of the Year goes to the Titans fan who said Jeff Fisher is the worst coach in the NFL. Top 5 actually.

I disagree with Fisher being a top five coach. He has a losing record in the the playoffs and a record of 136-110. That is not that great of a record, and a 5-6 record in the playoffs with no superbowl wins. In 16 years of coaching the Titans (three of them were when the team was the Houston Oilers) He has won the division only 3 times. Not good.

I read that they would make special package deals just to try to get more home fans, but at least they sold seats. Kinda nice to hear there doing better tho.

has anyone been checking out the WarRooms on NFL.com? I like read threw the comments, some a bad but most are pretty generous.

Anyway I trust Ozzy, he drafts pretty well and I like what I see so far even if we did trade our 1st round pick we still got 3 good players. We seem to draft pretty good.

Top 5? Seriously, what has he done to get the reputation that he has? Doesn't win the division, losing record in the playoffs. Drafted Pacman Jones. He's horrid and I hate him. 16 years is long enough, he needs to go. He should have been fired 6 years ago. I hate him.

I would blame McDaniel.Trades away two of his best three players.

Las Vegas would not be better than LA by a longshot. LV is not a sports city.Whens the last time you've heard someone is a proud life resident of LV? What are people going to now not just blow their money on gambling but also on a bad team

LA on the other hand is extremely populated and already has successful sports team so why not bring the most popular sport in America to it.

I think with the NFL's current image and behavioral problems, giving Las Vegas an NFL team (whether by expansion or moving a current team) is a bad idea. If anything, they should just dissolve a few really crappy teams (lookin at you, Oakland).

I have a feeling that will never happen.

A team in Las Vegas would end up kind of like Miami teams, only worse. There's too much to do, nobody wants to go sit in a stadium for a few hours when they could be hittin up other fun things. Marlins? Tiny fan base. Heat? A little bigger, but only when they were winning. Dolphins? I don't know...

I don't think he is Top 5 either, but he is pretty darn good. Just ask fans of the Browns, Cardinals, or Lions how they would feel about going 136-110, making the playoffs 6 times and going to a Super Bowl; I would think they would be happy. It is like the Philly fans who disliked McNabb; I can't wait until they figure out that not only is the grass not always greener, but sometimes it is a lot worse. I have been preparing my hexes against the Eagles for this year, I really hope they fall apart so people will realize how good McNabb is/was (to be fair I have a serious man-crush on Dnonvan). I already curse the Titans for what they did to McNair so they can't really get anymore hate from me whatever they do with Fisher.

They would be going to the stadium and betting. I don't think they would have an issue with attendance, but the people there would be more interested in gambling on the game and the team would essentially be worthless.
