I can tell you something about Shazier without any reservation, you NOT see him playing like his hair is on fire.

He suffers from alopecia, an autoimmune disorder that causes hair loss. You probably have noticed he has no eyebrows. He is the Anti-Flacco.

2k, I had to give you the thumbs up for punctuation and paragraph form alone! Have you been taking Ritalin or something to settle you down a little?

EDIT: I'm referring to your long post, not what I quoted above...

 

Nice article, thanks! His lack of hair kinda adds to his toughness anyway.

 

I feel like there is a friendly jab in there from our past discussions My grammar is notoriously bad! haha. Well played, perhaps I simply felt the watchful eyes of a greater being! ( just kidding )

I just watched a butt load of videos from the browns, steelers and ravens, moving on to other teams now. The pit presser was very very clear, I just didnt have the time last night to catch it. Ryan was their guy, he was there guy before the draft unless someone crazy slid i feel, they spoke of him with such certainty, referencing 3 years of tape etc. And they even spoke on some of the topics my long rant touched upon, the new schemes and patterns that are emerging- they have a plan.

didnt the team that won the superbowl run the ball ?

 

If you get the time, i reccomend the Browns intro presser for their 1st rounders too, that gilbert- confidence out the ying yang! im certainly going to be watching, i love confidence in CB's, he seems very sure of himself and with haden there...they could be special.

Sure they did, they also had arguably the best Defense since...well...your own D in '08! they were built to beat by way of suffocating teams much like the steelers from that same year. Also look at how they are built, thumpers in the back lines with play makers in earl thomas and kam- ( btw kam is still hands down the best find that ive encountered in the 3-4 years of being a part of and subsequently following the warboard, he was projected so late at one point and Ny called it so early and i think he deserved the SBMVP last year- easily- and thats value), and then fast line backers and a disruptive line.

right now, the steelers have young talent in the back mixed with experience in troy, a young as all hell line backer corp built on speed and covering sideline to sideline and- oh look- a disruptive line, although i do think its worth saying you are missing one or two D lineman from being a consistent pressure enforcing group- rotations and all. then again, i dont rate seattles line that highly, but as a unit they are great, and you cant have all pro's everywhere.

So sure, run the ball all you want, that team is built on D.

Does he use the Hair Alternative Treatment (HAT) Like I do?

 

BREAKING NEWS

Bills trade up makes a lot more sense now to me, they traded Stevie johnson to the niners for an undisclosed mid round pick next year, best case a 3rd, worst a 4th.

interesting trade. but it kind of moves them back a step for me, as johnson would have complimented watkins well with a young qb but you just took a weapon away from a young qb- not sure i like this, in fact im leaning towardss...what the hell?

That actually makes it even worse to me. You give your young QB weapons. I could understand trading away a future first and fourth to move up and get a WR weapon for your QB, but then you take away another one for the sake of probably getting that 4th back? So your young QB is still down one weapon and your team is still down a WR.

But it did keep Watkins out of Cleveland so I guess I shouldn't complain too much

 

Not sure I get that either. 3 years left on his contract, only a $4 million cap hit this year. Maybe he was not satisfied with the team or his position on it and asked to be traded? Makes sense to take a pick and get rid of a potential problem. I can't imagine any other reason to make a deal like that at this time.

 

Yeh i wasnt very clear in what i was saying haha, i just wrote as i thought so you caught up train of thought ending in ' what the hell' meaning i think they are idiots.

the bills being the idiots that is

I would expect the Bills to be looking at another WR in this draft then as well. If there was ever a time to double down on receivers in a draft, this is the year!

If they are able to grab, say, a Martavis Bryant (woudn't that be funny!) or Jarvis Landry in the 3rd round the Stevie trade looks a bit better.

 

Sure they could do that buti still feel like it doesnt impact the product of their initial trade which favoured the browns heavily, and then this trade gets rid of at worst, a proven number 2 wideout in the league for a potential pick up of someone as good or slightly better as a rookie.

Just does not seem smart to me

They played a team with their All-Pro QB looking like a deer in the headlights, we played a team where their All-Pro QB looked very comforatably at his best.

 

They are pretty high on Robert Woods and Marquise Goodwin. And don't forget they have Mike Williams. They overpaid Stevie a few years ago. I get it.

 

2nd round thoughts:

33. Houston - I agree with Bites that it seems unlikely they take Carr. Just a PR nightmare among the fanbase. I don't think any other available QB is worth that pick so they go DT. Nix or Hageman, probably Nix.
34. Washington - If they could draft a new owner they should do it with this pick. Otherwise they need a lot of help... Su'a-Filo should be a solid pick for them, solidify that OL a little.
35. Cleveland - They are making a solid effort to improve at skill positions. Marqise Lee
36. Oakland - The WR run begins with Cleveland and continues here with Allen Robinson
37. Atlanta - Went OL with first pick, they go DL here - Kony Ealy
38. Tampa - Need OL help as well. Bitonio is highest remaining OG on the draft board I am looking at.
39. Jacksonville - Bortles needs a roommate, and Cody Latimer could be the guy, though we have Davante Adams as highest remaining WR
40. Seattle - Latimer or Adams, whichever was left by the Jags
41. Buffalo - Tough call. OL is a listed need, and Moses or Kouandjio are the highest rated OT left.
42. Tennessee - Lost out on Barr, who was their mocked pick by many since the start of April. Van Noy or Attichou are the highest OLB left on our board.
43. NYG - Another tough one. If I have to take a guess I'll say they go Hageman as a value pick
44. STL - I say they break the RB cherry here with Tre Mason
45. Detroit - Jordan Matthews, WR
46. Pittsburgh - A lot of quality guys remain. But, with Robinson gone there is little competition for ST, DT from ND.
47. Dallas - They would have picked Tuitt here, just like Shazier was gone in round 1. Instead they go with Martavius Bryant.

Let's be honest, nothing matters after 46 for quite a while...

 

I think the Rams were happy w Stacy so I dont think they go that route

 

Can we start the evening yet? God, waiting is driving me crazy! %)
