2012 NFL Mock Draft from SB Nation

I don’t think they’ll do it. Until the day comes that they have the stones to actually do that, I will never believe MIA to do that. Do I think it’s the right move? Yes. But, I just can’t see them trading up like that.

Personally, I would work the FAs. It’s been proven with the right coaching staff in place with the right atmosphere and leadership, you can darn near bring ANYONE in and they contribute successfully. After working the FAs, do what you have to do in the draft. If trading up to get a core player (Ie: QB), you do it. You do what is absolutely necessary for your team. Is it a gamble, most of the time yes, but I’m tired of finding nuts from trees (so they say). Time to step up and uproot the SOB and plant the tree in your own yard! Just my opinion….

As far as Weeden? Sorry, going to be no different than Chris Weinke. Backup QB. He’s no better than what we already have and just as old already. Hence my disdain for football-baseball-football players that just try to find the easy road to $$. Cuz that’s all it is. Argue that if you want, but that’s what it comes down to.. And why do they return to football? Because it’s something they loved more and have sacrificed important years from college football learning to be a major league “prospect” only to return to college a handful of years later wanting to rekindle the football flames….

I think we already (sadly) know this….

I’m tired of “wasting” picks senselessly. I don’t think selling the farm will make us contenders in 2012. It’s making wise franchise choices rather than what is perceived to be “safe” choices.

Personally, I said Ingram because if we are GOING TO (unwisely) select ANOTHER DE, might as well get one that isn’t lazy. So don’t think I didn’t think about that before I said it here or anywhere else. We need a QB, OT, OG, TE, SLB, SS/FS.

We need to make smart choices with our picks, but we need to not be so standoffish on the concept of making a bold move to TRY to make the team better. Will Luck or RG3 make us better? It looks that way, but who the hell knows anymore? Busts come in all flavors and draft pick positions. So, yeah, I don’t wanna see a wasted pick on another damn senseless DE (Coples).

I’m a die-hard fan and only want to succeed, but success in cheerio size bites by being a puss in the 1st 2 rounds isn’t gonna do it. We’re not spoiled like other fans anymore. You should hear the crying about the 2nd Pats loss to the Giants in the SB. The “we deserved it” crap. We don’t say that, we’re just wanting the staff to do something different! Be bold. So, take that spoiled crap and put it in the trash. We know our weaknesses. We could rant on it for weeks/months….

- I didn’t complain about taking Odrick. I was confused at the pick, but wasn’t upset.
- Yes, I laughed at the move the Jets made in conjunction with the SB trash talk from HC Rex Cryin,
- Yes, the right side of the OL is a mess and think it needs to be fixed/replaced.
- No, our C is not making mistakes like that because he’s making up for the LG. He was a rookie making rookie mistakes, but STILL did an exceptional job!
- I was happy we drafted him last year. Thought it was a great move.
- refresher “….If we had to take a Reiff or Martin because Luck/RG3, WRs, etc are gone…. sobeit….”
- Defense needs tweaks. And who the hell REALLY knows what defense we’ll put out there next year. 3-4, 4-3, hybrid, etc… But, the players can play. Tweaks are needed.
- Offense still needs work. We all agree.
- Btw, What’s wrong with the OT we already have. :P Why not John Jerry? Why not Murtha? Both played well for Long. Just saying….That leaves us with having to look at a OG (left or right, doesn’t matter).
