The lockout should be reinstated. They dont have nothing set up this year. They cant let them practice at all because their contract clauses would start.

I'll give you this...the Eagles draft so far looks pretty stout.

I wasnt too thrilled when they picked a 26yr old O-linemen when Carimi was still there. I still think they passed the 2nd best corner in Jimmy Smith was a mistake. We are going to have a lot of rookies out there, but its an upgrade over last year.

I'll tell you what though from everything I've read this Watkins guy is a mauler. I know he was on the Bears' radar too. I hear you about the age thing but if he can play, its worth it. A few years ago the same was said about 26yr old Carl Nicks who went in the 5th to the Saints. And he's one of the best G in the league now. Watkins could be a stud in that great ground game Philly has.

i'm curious to see how this whole D. Bowers thing turns out and if all these teams who passed on him (practically all of them) will be kicking themselves if he turns out to be a stud

I don't know what the Pats are doing in the draft, they had a chance to draft Ingram they trade it away and take 2 running backs in the 3rd round. I know they got NO's first rounder next year but they'll end up trading that away next year.

Annnnd the dolphins do typical dolphins bullshit. Pick a 1st round center. Idiots. Trade 3 picks for a RB. Amazing. I hope they know what theyre doing

They picked up some serious talent though. The rich get richer.

Yea picking a K in the 4th was a stretch but he had great career at Nebraska plus Akers is getting up there in age.

EDIT: Casey Matthews pick was a lol moment personally. His brother KO'd Kolb in the first week and introduced Vick.

From what I've been reading about your kicker he's got a pretty powerful leg and may be the best K in the draft. I'll give you guys credit, its seems like the Eagles covered a lot of areas. We'll see how it all shakes down when the pads go on.

Not even players have a clue these days. I met Brandon Jacobs on Thursday and he said it's all good, that the lockout was over. I asked him if it's just a temp-deal, he was like "Nah, we can do everything now, full access"

Next day, judge reinstated the lockout.....

Bengals picking up Green and Dalton made them a solid team. Carson pretty much retiring and Chad not coming back most likely.
