Excluding QB's, how many guys in this draft class would have gone top 10 last year?

Anderson, Wilson and maybe Carter are the only guys I can think of. 

Picks 6-10 last year weren't all that strong imo

Rather just draft Carter or make moves to draft Carter than trade for Simmons and give him a monster deal.

I think Gonzalez or Witherspoon would be considered.  I think Stingley didn't run and there were concerns that he was coming off of a down season.   

I agree on both. They would have been in consideration.

London and Wilson had pretty nice years, even with subpar QB play.

If you’re interested, there’s a pinned thread in R&R about moderation transparency. A lot of what you’re wondering is covered. If you choose to check it out, get a drink and a comfy chair because it’s a pretty long read. 
 

Edit: @Mike030270 beat me to it. 

Holy ish, you weren't lying. Kinda sad people can't just keep the pettiness from consuming them. A decent chunk of the animosity stemming from fans who don't like a certain player and then try repeatedly to get a rise out of fans who like said player, and vice versa. Which is just beyond childish when you really think about it. 

So Toronto Eagle got the axe too? Anyone else? I already knew about the guys who got the boot just before the super bowl.

That's why no pc yet

DUM, 4for4, Toronto, and UndyTaker

I already knew about the first two, they got canned before the SB like I said. And I don't know who undy is.

That may be true but Ekwonu and Neal are better prospects than Skoronski. Likewise there aren't any WR prospects in this draft that are better than London and Wilson. It feels like at almost every position that is the case besides RB and Anderson in particular.

It's unfortunate because I think each of them could be contributors but they also could not let arguments go without them getting into personal attacks.  I didn't think UndyTaker was with them but maybe no one liked his username. 

Just posted this in "In Motion" but I'll put it here too, in case anyone wants to watch it and doesn't frequent "In Motion". 

 

 

 

 

There's another one about Doug and being called  the 'least qualified' coach hired. I'll get that one uploaded later.

Sounds like UndyTaker is gone too.

The sad thing is that knowing the involved parties it’s not all that surprising.

I’ll miss Toronto Eagle. He was a good poster.

Yeah he was. I think he was just done with the emb in general so just went off cause he didn’t care anymore.

I don't see why sticking to football without personal insults is such a hard thing.  There are plenty of other places on the internet to delve into that world.  But whatever. I'm sticking to Eagles here

If I had to guess it will be WR Quentin Johnston from the TCU Horned Frogs. I understand the thought process of alreadying having two great Wide Recivers and how GM Howie decided to trade instead of draft a WR in the first round of last year's draft because previously drafting WRs in first and second round haven't turned out the way he had hoped. That being said Quez Watkins was a bit of a disappointment, and the team needs depth at WR should one of our star WRs if not both get injured. At 6;4" 215lbs runs the 40 yard dash in 4.3 having 60 receptions for 1,069 yards and 6 TDs (17.8 yards/rec) this wide reciever could play at split end (SE/X) or flanker (FL/Z) but he excels at vertical receiver. 

 

I don't think anyone truly believes Bijan will be the pick at 10.  I don't think Quentin Johnston is a top 10 pick.  He's also an more of an outside WR.  If they went WR, I would think JSN might be a better fit.  That being said, I am not sure that a first round pick for a player that may only get 70 targets over the season is a good fit.  I do think there's an argument that any move to make the offense better gives the team a better chance to win in the playoffs.  

Anybody got any good jokes?

The fact of the matter is there are a lot of miserable people in this world. Then there are a lot of those miserable people who take advantage of the anonymous nature of the internet to spew their BS and hatred. I have been on several sports message boards over the years and these types of people can be spotted from a mile away. They are miserable, angry, and petty, and they choose to try to project that onto others by being pieces of crap towards everyone at places like that. They also typically have an inflated sense of self but it's to hide just how insecure and miserable they are. In a way it's actually just sad and pathetic. Either way, this place is a thousand times better without toxic individuals like 4for4 and DUM who personified this type of message board troll.

Didn't know him that well if at all, but i'm still catching up on some of the comments here in the blog, and sounds like he was far too consumed with complaining about people that got banned.

When they weren't being total D bags they were all good posters, When 4for4 actually talked football he had pretty informed posts, same with Toronto and DUM and undytaker when not backing those 3 up in their A hole shenanigans was actually pretty funny.

When they were independently being a holes it was unpleasant but when  they would cruise the boards snapping their fingers in a synchronized dance routine together they were unbearable.

Nah, they were just sad and pathetic individuals who brought nothing of real value to this board.
