Yeah, but they couldn't have known the whole Gordon thing was gonna happen coming into it. At least they didn't **** their pants and stuck to their plan.

What's his suspension likely to be?

Sounds like it's a 1 year ban and he can apply for reinstatement the following year.

Yeah, that's rough.
Well apparently Blackmon is gonna be outta Jacksonville, so he's a target. I wouldn't mind seeing the Ravens give him a shot.

Saw a report that said their owner and some FO personnel knew about his failed test 2 weeks ago. Not sure if it's true, but if so, it definitely adds a dimension to their draft so far.

Yeah really shows Farmer had a plan and stuck to it because they could've had Watkins, adding that pick from Buffalo is nice though, you know as long as Brady is healthy everyone else is playing for second in that division, depending how Manuel progresses this year (also curious to see what happens with the Bills defense, Pettine really got a lot out of everyone last season, curious to see if they drop off at all) and how much the Browns O struggles minus Flash Farmer might have two high picks to work with next year.

For weed, it's one year. Yet it's been legalized in a couple of states and medical marijuana in some others.

But take adderall and you're okay?

It doesn't matter how you feel on the matter, it's illegal as of now, and he's be suspended previously, so the ban is fair.

It would still be a year if it was Adderall, doesn't matter what you fail the test for as long as you fail it, if this was his first offense it wouldn't be a year for weed.

It wouldn't matter if it was legal in every single state. If your employer tells your that you're going to take random drug tests and you're not allowed to smoke pot, you're not allowed. Period.

Re: 2014 NFL Draft Discussion Thread

Just heard the Browns got Terrance West...two picks before Baltimore. Damn!

Y'all got a good back there; I was really hoping we could pull him in, but now we'll be playing him twice a year.

Browns having a solid draft.

Browns drafting Gilbert, Manziel and West could make them not comically bad. If Gordon does get suspended a year...they'll be in trouble. Kirksey is also a good pick.

Steelers drafting Shazier and Tuitt should upgrade their defense. Shazier looks like a monster, by the way. Bald, no eyebrows (?) and absolutely ripped, he looks like a beast. Dri Archer is very fast, he's someone to keep an eye on.

Bengals drafting Dennard upgrades their secondary, and Jeremy Hill gives them another weapon.

I think the Ravens have had a solid draft. No doubt, we've upgraded the defense, which was necessary. At 17th, I was pretty surprised we took Mosley. Arthur Brown wasn't great last year, but should develop nicely. Dumervil, Suggs and especially Smith aren't getting younger, sure, but there were several other more important needs. If the Cowboys passed on Zach Martin, we probably would have taken him. Yet, the Ravens still passed on Calvin Pryor and Clinton-Dix. It makes sense, as starting two young safeties in Elam and a rookie would have growing pains. The need at receiver has been somewhat alleviated. I'm sure that Baltimore will take a receiver today.

Taking a pair of National Champion teammates in Jernigan and Brooks is solid. Those two are quite good. Brooks just might be the safety we need. Jernigan is a great pick,as Art Jones left for Indy. I'm not very familiar with Gillmore.

Other thoughts-

Clowney has been put in a great situation to succeed. He doesn't need to play immediately. Clowney should begin as a sub-package pass rusher, and work his way up through the rotation. The thought of Watt and a developed Clowney is scary.

I was shocked that Bortles went third to the Jaguars. Jacksonville absolutely needs a quarterback. Yet they need to build their defense. Mack was there for the taking. If the Jags are patient and let Bortles have a redshirt year as others have suggested, it will be worth it. If they throw him into the fire, the Jags are looking at Gabbert 2.0.

I was quite surprised the Browns passed on Watkins, trading the pick to the Bills so Buffalo could take him. Manuel to Watkins should be a good connection.

Mack makes the Raiders better; he'll be a star.

Barr is a good for for Minnesota. 12th was far too high for Beckham to go, and the Giants passed on other glaring needs.

Dix to the Packers should make that defense better it has been mediocre (the secondary, at least.)

Manziel is truly boom or bust. I think he'll start right away. Regardless, with Manziel and all of the other AFC North draftees, the division just got even more interesting.

Bridgewater should be a steal and a star for the Vikings.

But he will. You don't go 1st overall to be on the bench Week 1.

NO to Blackmon for the Ravens. Let Brown develop and maybe they'll take someone today that's developmental but I'd say no to Blackmon.

Re: 2014 NFL Draft Discussion Thread

Was enjoying Idzik's first draft but that 3rd round pick really disappointed me. Should've went WR with Donte Moncrief and I believe Jarvis Landry still on the board. And even if he wanted to go CB, Pierre Desir was the way to go.

Re: 2014 NFL Draft Discussion Thread

Les Snead played at Auburn, Jeff Fisher's son played at Auburn, and now they've drafted Big Greg and Tre La Soul.....guess I need to buy some Ram's gear.


As a Vikes fan, I'm "meh" on Barr but stoked about Bridgewater. Thought 8 was way too high to get Barr.

[Caveman24]

Re: 2014 NFL Draft Discussion Thread

Want us to trade up for Pierre Desir!

Re: 2014 NFL Draft Discussion Thread

I just realized that the receiver from Rutgers Brandon Coleman is still available. 6-6 225 and a 4.5 40. He's a really good day 3 pickup.
