I'm NOT happy AT ALL that Washington traded up for the #2 spot, but I'm praying to god that we get Luck instead of Griffin. Griffin is going to be mediocre, at best, in the NFL.
I really hope the Steelers go after Oline or DBs. That or Devon Still falling to them :up:
Steelers needs:
1. Guard or Tackle (depending which they got, they can move pieces to accommodate a rookie if he can start) - right now, they're looking at an O-Line that is weak at both Guard spots to some degree. However, if they drafted a Tackle they could move Colon to G.
2. Nose Tackle - Hampton is aging fast and he may start the season on the PUP List. McClendon did an adequate job last year, but a pick in the first 3 rounds is in order.
3. Inside Linebacker - With Farrior gone, they are looking at Foote as his replacement (unless Stevenson Sylvester shines in camp). I'd love to see them get the Mike Wallace situation resolved and grab Seattle's David Hawthorne to solidify this area before the draft. I'm not sold that the Steelers use their #1 here (though many are).
Depth needs: FS, CB, HB, WR
With 10 picks, they may move around a bit in the middle to late rounds. I wouldn't be shocked if they took a G and a T in the first 2 rounds.

So, Gruden has started his new season of "Gruden's QB Camp" stuff and it's being posted to youtube as it comes out. So far, there have been 6, so I thought I'd post them here and get the conversation going about the draft, which is coming up next weekend.
Andrew Luck

If you had the ability to take ANY QB in the draft, no matter what team and who your team currently had at the helm, who would you want your team to take?
Personally, I think people are insane to want to take Griffin over Luck, but I think a bunch of teams are going to be kicking themselves for not taking Kellen Moore.
I'm an RGIII guy. Someone with that athletic ability AND the intelligence. The maturity of Griffin is amazing. The dude is going to be a winner regardless of what he does. I think he'll be an amazing QB and team leader.
...Tebow is a pimple on this guy's ass. He's got that kind of quality.

remember the hit that luck put on USC's shareese wright? plus, luck is studying architecture or something like that at stanford, who's light years above baylor in terms of academics. no offense to baylor, but there arent very many schools in the country who can compare to stanford's academics.
he might. but i think luck is way more prepared to be an nfl quarterback and a ton more experienced at running an nfl offense. but, rg3, in the right situation, could flourish too.
For me, there has always been something about Russell Wilson. If he was a few inches taller, he would be in the discussion for first round QB's. It was lost how good of a season he had this year, and if his defense could stop two hail mary passes, they would have been in the NC game.
Thanks for posting those Mors....I'll have to check those out, been wanting to see them.
Everyone pretty much knows this but sources have confirmed that the Colts have told Luck they are taking him at #1
:fdown:
And the Redskins stupidly pick another QB that will waste their time for 3-5 years and continue to put the franchise in the dredges of the league...
Gruden's hour-long highlights-of-all-the-QBs was on ESPN tonight. The individual episodes look like they're mostly on ESPNU and will start at midnight tonight.
I guess I am insane then because if they were leading my team, I would be searching for a new one. I would rather have my current OC(Cam Cameron) then have Kyle and I have been up for firing Cam for years now.
Just because he is better than the shit they have had, does not make him good. If they had John Elway and Terrell Davis, maybe. But they are far from that.
Exactly. Unfortunately, he and Bruce Allen just made the dumbest trade in the history of the universe and pretty much fucked themselves unless Griffin actually happens to be the one player in the past 30 years or so that breaks all of these highly unlikely scenarios:
1. Played in an Air Raid offense - the list isn't pretty showing who has been drafted in the NFL coming from that offensive style and NOT ONE has done dick in the NFL out of it
2. Won the Heisman Trophy - Last QB to do worth a shit after winning the Heisman Trophy Award has been Carson Palmer (if you can really consider going 8-8 and not winning a playoff game worth a shit) - Before him, you gotta go back to Vinny Testaverde (1984) or Jim Plunkett (1970) before you truly have a good QB doing well in the NFL after winning the Heisman - And, no, I don't consider a 6-10 season worth a shit for Cam Newton; win some games and then come talk to me
3. #2 QB taken in the draft - This list isn't pretty. With the exception of Aaron Rodgers, Phil Sims, Philip Rivers, and, I guess, Donovan McNabb, you have some pretty terrible QBs taken as the 2nd QB in the draft:

You're being generous to say Testaverde was worth a shit. Also, he won the Heisman in 86, not 84.

Yeah, and I forgot to include Drew Brees for the 2nd QB taken worth a shit list as well, but I was basically just hammering it out right quick after having already posted all this stuff on the Redskins board I frequent (and have right pissed most of them off because of my naysaying because, most of them are too fuckin' blinded by media morons to see the true story).
Yeah, Brees turned out okay too. :D
I just remember the Testaverde year because of Penn State intercepting him 5 times to win the NC in the Fiesta Bowl. I was 12 and recorded that game, as a then-PSU fan, and must have watched it 100 times. :nod:

Baylor was an Air Raid offense?
I don't think the answer is as simple as mors puts it, but in its basics, yes. Briles was the RB coach under Mike Leach at Texas Tech. He was the head coach at Houston when they made the transition to the Air Raid. He's credited with introducing the spread offense to Texas HS football. However, I think Art Briles doesn't run the straight Air Raid that's shown in NCAA with TTU, or how people perceive the Air Raid in general. There are a lot more vertical passing concepts at Baylor, particular with Robert Griffin, than there are with other Air Raid offenses.
But yes, at the end of the day, Baylor is an Air Raid offense.
Vertical is right. Jesus, I'd hate to play Art Briles in NCAA 12 and have him call 4 verts all day. I might have to smack that cheeser. :D

The 3rd pick of the draft is possibly getting shopped. Lots of offers towards the Vikings to trade up and take Richardson.
Not "possibly". There's no way in hell the Vikings end up picking 3rd. They've got to be pretty confident they can drop to 5th and still get Kalil. They could drop further if they're okay with getting someone else.
and in a surprising move, the seahawks will trade their 1st round pick and LT russell okung to the vikings for the #3 pick in the draft.
lol....yeah, wishful thinking on my part.
nice try....but i was quicker. lol
