With Seward and Hagler added/re-signed

I’d put OT over OLB, but OLB would be my #5.

No Steelers on this list?

It's true what they say...Even the NFL's Big Wigs hate the Steelers. On the plus side, I can now tell my future grand kids about Hines Ward and how the NFL made rules because of him. Roger Goodell, you make me sick.

Can't you be positive

He’s saying the Steelers are so good they have NO needs.

/Bills are missing too

Writing in html does crazy things to my brain, or whatever.

ugh, that would really screw me up

I build the table in html (mostly from copy-pastes from a basic table). Then switch back to the regular view to fill in the info.

lol I only wish I didn't have to post that

yea we definitely have the talent but there are some needs.

No need for QB in Minnesota?

Their options at QB are just as bad as the Jets’.

by Rob4Braves on Apr 21, 2009 10:23 PM EDT reply actions

Please add the following

to the Bengals’ entry: GM and NO- for “New Ownership”. Those are our most glaring needs. Oh, you mean needs that can be addressed through the draft? Never mind.

As a phin-fan

I would add NT personally on pr with WR as our 3rd need, and as late round needs throw in saftey and DE(another to join rotation)

25th pick - Clay Mathews LB USC
44th pick - Alphonso Smith cb Wake Forest
56th pick - Clint Sintim LB Virginia
86th pick - Fili Moala DT USC

?

Bengals need a RB
and dont you think the Cowboys need a backup NT more than a CB?

by Joe Goodberry on Apr 22, 2009 11:03 AM EDT reply actions

Vikings DT??

Is this because of the likely suspensions or Phat Pat’s age? He’s affordable for 2 more years then will likely retire or at the very least take a backup role somewhere.

Either way I can’t see that as a big need for the Vikes, maybe a late round pick.

Peyton's good but have you ever heard of Jeff George?

by halfchest on Apr 22, 2009 12:04 PM EDT reply actions

It’s a combo of both. I agree it’s a later round need, which is why I have it fifth.

by Dan Kadar on Apr 22, 2009 8:46 PM EDT up reply actions

Dallas needs

ILB pretty bad. As well as OT & G. And NT as firstPick mentioned. I don’t think they need DE, but there is the possibility they draft a true NT and move Ratliff outside.

Browns

CB isnt that much of a need, but WR, even if we dont trade edwards. Our other receivers are the old ,small David Patten, Paul Hubbard and his hands of stone, and the 5’9 syndric steptoe. And after this year, edwards’ contract is up. How is that not a need.

Brandon McDonald sucks in a big way.

I tried to limit the needs to four per team at most. If I extended it, I could have gone seven deep with the Browns. OLB, CB, S, RB, WR, DT, DE

by Dan Kadar on Apr 22, 2009 8:45 PM EDT up reply actions

Really cmon your smarter than that. We have the Probowl DT shaun rogers and mcdonald wasnt bad for his second year. JMO

I don’t man. I watched every snap of every Browns game last year and McDonald clearly looked like a nickel cornerback. He can handle the slot just fine, but against a big guy outside, he was terrible.

DT I have as a backup need. Rubin isn’t bad, but if they can find someone late, they should take him. Now, taking Raji in the first round, which McShay says, is a real awful idea.

by Dan Kadar on Apr 22, 2009 9:12 PM EDT up reply actions

I still disagree about McDonald but u are entitled to your opinion. We do have Ivy and Poteat who would compete with him if he isnt playing good. It would be nice though to trade down with Washington and take Jenkins, let him play FS his and move Pool to SS. then if we take berry or mays next year we could let jenkins be our shutdown corner. I know its a complicated plan that probably wont happen but i was just thinking.

As for Rubin, he was a rookie last year and our new coaching staff likes him. I agree that taking Raji would be a bad idea, but i would be happy if we took gilbert or marks with pick 50
