Nope I haven't watched USC play. That's why Im asking.

"Yeah, but LSU sucks this year" [/moron]

You'd think that LSU would have stopped blitzing sooner, but it really didn't matter.

I'd be happy with a Suggs, Mays and Spikes offseason.

i think we're going to drop some FA coin somewhere...there are certainly worse scenarios...

With the 5 spot, we should grab the MLB from USC.

Orakpo and Johnson aren't elite ends. The big tackles are all LT's, and I'm 100% against moving Brendan Albert for some unknown rookie.

This defense needs someone who can fly to the football and create havoc. They also need a stud DE (which they have to try to get in free agency). This team hasn't had a long-term prospect at MLB since Donnie in 1997.

An ideal scenario for me would be Rey in the first, Duke Robinson in the 2nd.

one, of the many, reasons i want a high pick is so that we can have a shot at LB/ol that drops to the top of the second...there will be some serious talent and we can score again like we did with flowers...

Honestly I hope they drop coin on defense.

Have you seen some of the Defensive players available this year?

Peppers
Suggs
Haynesworth
B Berry
R Lewis
B Scott
Vilma
Dansby

All these guys are FAs. But I just can't see this team spending money on big name players. I have a feeling they won't spend.

Suggs/Mays/Spikes would be a dream. If our D still stunk with Dorsey/Suggs/Mays/Spikes/DJ/Flowers then we might as well give up.

even though we're still a year away from competing (assuming everything goeas right), i think the sting of this year will cause Carl to react...they'll want some excitement which means FA....cross our fingers they get lucky this time

It probably will, you know why? Because we have Gunther Cunningham. He'll find a way to make things suck.

Bart Scott would be about the only one on that list that I would go after.

We would be lucky for one of those names to hit the market... we would be even more lucky for one of them to even work out for the Chiefs.

Highlight tapes are not a great way to judge talent, but we've seen this video a lot, so I'm breaking it down, play-by-play.

Overall thoughts: Georgia OL actually does a very good job in this highlight tape. Only two of 11 throws required Stafford to move around. one on the run to his strong throwing side, one just requiring a step up in the pocket. Is the LSU line that overrated, or the UGA line better than given credit for? Or a little of both, maybe?

Throw 1: Good protection (pro). Hits out well, throw a little high but possibly necessary (can't tell because of camera angle)
2: Good pro. Throw looks low, tough to tell for sure.
3: Good pro, slightly pressured but had time to read, set, deliver. Throw is high/inside, nice adjustment and catch by Massaquoi.
4: Good pro off play-action. Time to set, deliver, little sloppy moving weight forward. Hard to tell much due to poor camera work, other than the ball was thrown extremely hard. Could be low throw, could be good throw into spot only his receiver can reach.
5: Fade. Plenty of time. Underthrown a tad, a little too far to the middle of the field. Great play by receiver to prevent INT.
6: Impressive throw on run. Premium arm strength. little high, but OK.
7: Good pro, good throw on quick out (with coverage a yard or two off).
8: WR screen. easy throw, nothing to evaluate.
9: Enough pressure to force step up, plant, throw. Good pro inside to give him room to step up. Green beats CB by step or two, throw in stride, a smidge high (is it wobbling kind of funny, or is that the camera? Doesn't look like a true spiral).
10: Good pro/blitz pickup with 8 in box. Hits WIDE OPEN tight end.
11: Play-action, good protection. Green WIDE OPEN, no one withing five yards.
12: QB draw, good blocking, middle wide open.

So that's 12 plays. 11 throws.
8 throws any NFL prospect at QB should make. (1,2,3, 7,8,9,10,11)
One tough throw (6)
One bad throw (5)
One inconclusive throw (4 - video quality makes it impossible to judge).

The QB draw again was a play that any QB with wheels of any sort should execute. If you're mobile enough (pretty average speed/mobility required) for your team to call a QB draw, you're mobile enough to score there, easily.

It's a nice highlight tape, but it isn't a jaw-dropping, jizz-worthy tape as some seem to think...
