2012 NFC North/NFL Thread

Te'o to San Diego.  At least it sort of rhymes.

TT moves up to get Lacy. Nice move.

[GGGG]

I don't think he moved up....he moved back.

Meant up in number, poor choice of words.

Still like it!

My goodness.  Is Teo the next Tebow for ESPN?  Is he all they are going to talk about now?

Hawk Harrellson and Manti Teo.  Perfect.

Love Lacy pick, absolutely love it. Tremendous value, just a great pick.

[Blackhat]

Lacy is too slow and won't be more jacked up than everyone else like in college.  If we're going to take a back, Christine Michael was the dude.  I was more inclined to get an o lineman there to actually open up a hole.

[GGGG]

I would have preferred taking Monte Ball with the pick they had instead of trading down.  But I know absolutely nothing about how to judge an NFL running back.

This is going to sound strange, but I want the bears to take Barkley if he's available today.

Edit: damn.

also, what a ride for Barkley. Top 10 pick a year ago. 4th round this year. Staying for your senior year doesn't always pay off.

Yep. Leinhart had the same mistake. He would have been number one overall ahead of Alex smith had he come out early but stayed and fell to 10. (Granted, that isn't nearly as bad as Barkley but back before the current CBA he probably cost himself a hefty chunk of change)

[Otule's Glass Eye]

Honey Badger really wishes he was drafted by Denver..

[jesmu84]

Welp, I guess the Bears deemed the this LB/OL draft...

I watched every Florida game this year.  The linebacker the Bears drafted, Bostic is a nasty, vicious beast machine.  Don't care for the Bears, but that was a great selection for them.

And the one who made the right choice was the one who defied his college coach and came out early despite Pete Carroll's advice, Mark Sanchez.  After getting picked fifth, he's okay even if he can't reverse his career's current downward direction.

Sanchez was right to come out when he did. Spending another year in college would have done nothing but exposed his flaws.

Honestly, I think it would be awesome if the Packers could get ahold of Sanchez on the cheap.  Our backup QB situation terrifies me and I would love to see what Sanchez could do if he was actually given the chance to learn, and the pressure of being QB of the NY Jets was gone.

Pretty good, thorough article on HGH usage in the NFL (and Bama).

Ponder gets Sam Steele. Rodgers gets the $$.

I think Aaron Rodgers did *OK* for himself on the female front as well...

Can't really say the face is there.

[Jay Bee]

Yeah.. borderline butterface at times. Her dark-haired friend is pretty cute though.

Just not a super pretty girl. Not sure Rodgers is into women anyway.

Looks like the Vikings/MInneapolis is a out to get something right...this looks as good as the Metrodome is bad.

The photos remind me of the "new" Soldier Field - great on the inside but awful-looking from the outside.
