Showboat

If Dart isn'r ready, I just hope the Giants realize that Wilson is not the answer - at best he'll get the Giants to an unexciting 8-9. I'd much rather see them turn the reigns over to Jameis - he might be able to get them over .500 if he can cut down on the turnovers. If not, it would still be fun to see him slinging the ball to Nabers while the Giants try to play catch-up in a lot of games..

ha ha - that was the only one I got spot on (except for Cam)

There goes my draft contest - I counted on the Jets doing something stupid.

The Jets should make an entertaining pick here.

Even if there is no team likely to take him 4-8, the reason the Saints might want to move up is to prevent someone else from jumping in front of them. As you said, it really just depends if any team has decided Sanders is their guy. We'll know soon.

QBs are always over-drafted. I think the Sanders chatter is mostly smokescreen. I would not be surprised to see 3 QBs go in the top 10.

The Bonus question 5 is: Which WR will be drafted first? But in the dropdown it asks: Which WR will be drafted last? Is there a bonus for discovering this inconsistency?

What is the best-case QB scenario? I was hoping the Giants would land Stafford, but that ship has sailed. At this point, I think I'd rather see the Giants get Flacco over either Rodgers or Wilson (I really really really hope it's not Wilson), I also think Flacco would be a better mentor for the rookie as I figure they will work the draft to ensure they get "their guy" between Sanders or Ward. Thoughts?

That would be awesome for Nabers - unfortunately, I think were going to be stuck with Wilson's unexciting mediocrity.

Three teams have been able to evaluate Wilson up-close and concluded that he wasn't the answer at QB and chose to move on (at least one of those teams at great cost). This is the worst case scenario for Nabers.

It will be interesting to see how Richardson responds to competition from Dimes. I think everyone knew his development at QB was going to be a bit of a project, yet the Colts drafted him at #4 overall based on his athleticism and potential (which has flashed at times). Even "NFL-ready" QB prospects often need a season or two to adjust. I think the only way Richardson doesn't start for the Colts this season is if he shows absolutely no progress or improvement.

While I fully expect the Giants to take Ward or Sanders (even if it means trading up), I'd much rather see them trading back and loading up on some O-line talent and maybe take a QB later. If they take Ward or Sanders, with one of the first 3 picks, I don't think Winston will be much of a bridge - he'll likely only see the field if there is an injury (and that may put a dent in Nabers fantasy value if the rook struggles). Seeing Winston start may not be great for the Giants, but he'd be great for Nabers fantasy numbers.

Saw a report about Jameis visiting the Giants. Probably not a great option for the Giants, but I think he could be decent in getting the ball to Nabers (in between the pick-6s).

Well, not as important as $123.5M in guaranteed cash. But seriously, if all of these supposedly "great" players were really all that great, they would be able to elevate the performance level of their teammates to win on their current teams rather than have to go somewhere else to win.

Dobbins is a free agent. I'd be surprised if the Chargers sign him at this point. if they do, the Chargers backfield will become a fantasy headache to avoid unless the Chargers somehow manage to find Gibbs/Monty type efficiency that can make two backs viable (I have doubts).

Mack Hollins to the rescue!!!

I don't think so. I remember the play where there was a sure pick-6 (want to say it was against the Cards) and he ran down the defender and made the tackle preventing the defensive TD. The diva WR is pouting his way back to the bench on that play.

As a Nabers owner, I'd much rather see the Giants make a play for Stafford.

I think this was a key in the two losses Patriots had to the Giants. The Giants were generally able to pressure Brady with 4. The difference being that the Pats D was able to keep it close and Brady made enough plays to win if not for miraculous helmet catches and such.

This may be a dent in Mahomes quest for GOAT. I don't think Brady ever got blown out in a Super Bowl. Mahomes now has this effort as well as the loss to the Bucs that was not really competitive.

I guess if you don't want a long term solution and plan to replace the head coach every year or two (which the Raiders seem to do), hiring a 74 year-old head coach is not a bad idea.

We'll find out if Johnson is just another good coordinator that can't make it as a head coach. It will also be interesting to see if this move has any real impact on the Lions O.

These playoffs are setting up nicely for a KC 3-peat - their toughest game will be against the BAL/BUF winner. Philly is like the anti-KC team: instead of making a critcal play, drive, etc. at crunch time, they usually have a critcal lapse at cruch time to keep their opponent in the game. Thus, I think WAS has a decent chance to get to the Super Bowl, but I don't see either NFC team beating the AFC champ (whoever that ends up being).

Just like '24 (well, if you exclude the Jets).

The real question is whether he'll keep Stevenson in the doghouse or see him as one of the better Patriot players who needs to get touches. His tenure with the Titans coincided with commiting to Henry as a true feature back. Seems like a promising development tor Stevenson (unless the Pats ultimately bring in someone else for that role).
