“Look at the millstone that is VG’s contract and then let’s pray for him to become, at least, a starter or that there’s an uncapped year in 2010 to redo and clear out potential crushing dead money for 2011 and beyond.”

Unfortunately, there are rules in place to stop teams cutting players and taking the dead money hit in the uncapped year. Apparently the dead money will count against the next year in which a cap applies. Let’s hope he can become a starter, or that there is some way out of the reported committed money if he never makes it (Jason believes/was hoping there may be).

Realistically we have a 1 in 32 chance of winning the SB.

I wanted to give Ratty and KC a hance this year then draft QB next if it didn’t pan out, but what’s done is done.

I am going pull for Sanchez and Greene to be big contributors to our success.

I hope Ainge is cut by June.

Go JETS!!!!!!

The draft is a crapshoot. If you have the chance to do so cheaply, (and the trade was CHEAP), you MUST roll the dice on a possible franchise QB.

Even if this doesn’t pan out it was the right decision.

Bundgaard has it exactly right… you take the risk because when you do get it right, your odds increase dramatically of making the post season and getting to the superbowl and that’s what it is all about.

You gotta roll the dice on a QB eventually. I don’t buy the total success rate, all you need is one. In the end, honestly if Stafford sucks and Sanchez is great, it will be 50% and we’ll end up with the winner. You gotta take the risk and I commend the organization for taking it. I just hope he pans out…

Our defense, on paper of course, should be a top five defense this year. Dirty just needs to manage the game and we can win it all guys. Come on just look at the 2000 Ravens and the 2002 Bucs.

Everyone is touting the genius of teams like the Pats for getting out of this draft and into next years because this was a weak year. That seemed to be the general concensus from the “pros”

These economic models are as good as the ones that Bush used. If you play the probabilities you will end up a mediocre team. In football you have to take calculated RISKS. And I do not mean like the Favre risk. That was an extremely bad calculation or rather a bad business move!.

21. New York Jets — DeMarcus Granger, DT, Oklahoma
Granger is arguably the most talented defensive lineman in the country, but durability and character issues have prevented him from reaching his full potential to this point. A healthy and productive 2009 campaign could land him a spot in Round 1.

McShay’s thing has the Jets going to the playoffs

He has Terrence Cody going (DT Alabama) going to the Steeler’s. He’s a beast. I think I like him better than DeMarcus Granger.

He has the Pats picking 32 and the Eagles picking 31.

It wasn’t a weak draft. It was actually one of the strongest drafts ever, which is why I hate the Shonne Green trade. The draft this year just wasn’t as top heavy. Trust me. We’re going to be talking a lot in the NFL about players from later in this draft.
