What if Farely dominates in the NFL and Peterson ends up a bum who always injured? Then you'll have egg on your face and we wont allow you back into the fan club.

If Tommy Boy has a longer career than Peterson you can throw a whole dozen eggs in my face. IF I was going to invest millions in a guy that can change my franchise...I'm taking the guy with the better track record. The only category Black Sheep will ever lead the league in will be penalty yards, dude is cheap as fuck.

I'm not a fan of the Fairley pick. I'd rather trade down and grab JJ Watt, at that point, if possible.

I'm a fan of JJ Watt as well, and not high super high on Fairly though he is being considered by many for the #1 pick in the entire draft. When someone says if team does this and not this I will not be a fan anymore especially when talking about something as fluid and basically guessing game with the draft it gets under my skin. Its just dumb to say things like that.

I recall just a few years ago, Texans fan saying the same thing about Mario Williams over Reggie Bush or Vince Young. Well look how that turned out for them. Case in point, its just an idiotic statement.

I was being facetious...serious business is a few threads up.

Vikings tendered Rice, as I've been saying all along, teams wont allow a #1 WR to walk for nothing. Thoughts of getting him in FA was nothing but a pipe dream.

Yeah if that situation actually happened, I would be a very happy person...Peterson is gonna be legit.

Robert Gallery told the Raiders he won't be resigining with them. Would you want him to come in and shore up the RT spot? Do you think he'd move to RT? I haven't followed his career to know how good he is. I just know he is one of the "bigger" names of O-Linemen for reasons good or bad.

He's a better guard than tackle. They might swing him to RG. I've heard they are toying with the idea of Lauvao at RT. The Raiders switching him to guard saved his career. He's a total hack at tackle.

I'm glad he didnt decide to coach. I feel I'm in the minority with that though.

It's an incentive-laden contract that enables Jackson to make more money based on things such as playing time and production. The incentives are regarded as likely to be reached if he can stay healthy.

Did anyone see what the base or bonus was?

Saw Count Chocokiper's board says Browns take JJ Watt at 6 and leave Peterson to be taken at 7.
