NFL Offseason transactions. Week l337

[Koyuki]

I know Ceph asked but wait until Giants fans get a load of Hakeem Nicks. He will step in and be ready to start immediately. You missed a show if you never got to see him or the Tarheels play. Luckily Kyo and I got the luxury of watching him since he in high school here in Charlotte.

You guys have a big, strong, hard working WR that will immediately step in.

Would have loved to have seen Nicks and Smith lining up across from each other with moose as the 3rd ; ;

[Vade]

I actually went to high school with Stephen McGee and Jordan Shipley, UT starting WR extended in NCAA because he missed fish year. Both of them are great people, natural leaders, played HS football with them. I'm sure they'll both have great careers in the NFL.

Look forward to McGee taking Romo's place this year or the next for sure.

You went to Burnet HS, eh? I feel so bad for McGee and his situation with Franchione.

The ball would still only go to Smith.

You and I both.

[Mizango]

The ball would still only go to the Cardinals D.

Do they play the Cardinals this season? Because they sure as shit aren't going to the playoffs.

AFC grades: Stockpiling Pats earn high marks - NFL - Yahoo! Sports
(P.S. Packers still get an A)

They also cut safety Mike Doss

I didn't watch the Bungles much last year, but wtf @ cutting Doss, am I missing something?

Doss didn't play a whole lot, was 3rd string if I remember.

Crocker, White and Ndukwe are their 3 best safeties, and I think the coaches like what they see in last years rookie Corey Lynch from App. State.

[tyven]

not like Hakeem Nicks is gonna be playing WVU every week, doubt he contributes much of anything this year...

[Penthesilea]

You guys also lost Lito Sheppard. That secondary just went from being one of the best in the league to mediocre.

It's still phenomenal. Lito Sheppard played Nickel and lost that job to Joselio Hanson. He didn't record a single tackle in the last 4 games, and had 21 tackles the whole season.

Dawkins = run stop only really
Lito = displaced as the nickel back

This secondary is still going to be really good.

Dallas Cowboys: GRADE: D
The Big D gets a D this year. They didn't get a lot of top-end talent due in part to their not having a pick until the third round, but they then went out and reached on Jason Williams and Robert Brewster. Victor Butler is a decent pick, as is Brandon Williams, but I'm not enamored with any of their later picks. They got players that could help them in terms of depth, but no one who is going to really strengthen this football team.

Can't say I really disagree either. Damn...

[Man0warr]

Cowboys needed depth, plus this draft was really low on the talent scale.

[Dimmauk]

Can't say I really disagree either. Damn...

They should have traded up. Package those picks. Something, anything, oh well they suck.

Mike Leach of Texas Tech takes aim at NFL draft - ESPN

lol @ Texas Tech coach Mike Leech keeping it fucking real....

"I'm happy for Stephen McGee," Leach told The Dallas Morning News. "The Dallas Cowboys like him more than his coaches at A&M did."

and in regards to Crabtree slipping...

"Michael Crabtree has been more successful as a receiver than that guy as a coach at this point," Leach said of Mangini, according to the Sacramento Bee. "Part of the reason is [Crabtree's] too shy to be like that."

Leach said Crabtree isn't a "diva."

"My definition of a diva is someone who's loud and self-absorbed," Leach told the Bee. "Michael Crabtree is the furthest thing from loud that I've seen. ... Let's see how all those non-divas do up in Cleveland this year."

Do you blame Denver for stockpiling RBs? Its like people forget what happend last year.

[tyven]

when you have peyton hillis, you dont need much else

[Headspace]

Denver might as well stock Chris Perrys.

When they had other huge needs to fill, I'd say hell yeah. The Broncos have an absolutely god awful line and they're going to try and run a 3-4 off of it. Instead of dealing future picks for a CB, they should of been doing it to move ahead of GB and get BJ Raji. McFadden, Tomlinson and Larry Johnson are going to have career days against that defense.

They had all of those picks and did absolutely nothing to improve the line.
