I agree. I'd put them right around 15, middle of the pack, on defense. Still have no real "game changers" like an Ed Reed or a Polamalu on that side of the ball.Mulva;1113621 wrote:The defensive numbers were completely inflated last year.

The offense is bottom 3.

When it comes down to it, the most important statistic for defenses is points allowed. Browns were top 5. I don't see how that is inflated.BR1986FB;1113625 wrote:I agree.

Offense....puke
I agree, there are no game changers on D... yet. I think Joe Haden is on his way. He certainly has earned the respect of the league, but won't be a true shutdown corner until teams stop passing in his direction. TJ is an enforcing safety, which I like (much like Linch), but if we're looking for a gamechanger on defense, I believe Claiborne is the answer. I just feel like there are many more significant needs on offense as opposed to defense.BR1986FB;1113625 wrote:I agree. I'd put them right around 15, middle of the pack, on defense.

I think Haden could be one of those players but he took a step back in 2011, imo. I think what can vault Haden into that category is if they get a significant pass rush, ala the New York Giants. TJ Ward is a "jury's out" kind of guy to me. He could be another Hardesty, injury-wise, as he has a history of getting dinged up.Dr. KnOiTaLL;1113643 wrote:I agree, there are no game changers on D... yet. I think Joe Haden is on his way.

Harvard Sports Analysis Collective - A study from the Harvard Sports Analysis Collective suggests Robert Griffin III will need to have a career similar to Tom Brady for the Redskins to justify the trade price.
It's blocked here at work. What do they have us doing?BR1986FB;1113656 wrote:Read THIS and weep (believe me, I'd be 'weeping' if this happens at 4)...

Highly doubt that happens. Not too worried about it.BR1986FB;1113716 wrote:Tannehill at 4
In other news, looks like our old friend Jeff Faine will be cut by Tampa.
If we take Tannehill at 4, I will quit watching NFL and start watching NASCAR... only for Danica of course!BR1986FB;1113716 wrote:Tannehill at 4

So now you know how I feel about moving forward with McCoy.Dr. KnOiTaLL;1113725 wrote:If we take Tannehill at 4, I will quit watching NFL and start watching NASCAR... only for Danica of course!
I bet that he along with V-Jax will be Redskins.DeyDurkie5;1113770 wrote:http://profootballtalk.nbcsports.com/2012/03/12/pierre-garcon-will-be-testing-free-agency/
id rather trade down to 10 and draft tannehill if they have a hard on for him. think thats worthy of a number 1 pick next year?OneBuckeye;1113748 wrote:Would you rather... move forward with McCoy or take Tannehill at 4? I would go for McCoy.
I'd probably rank RB third of those three unless they were going in no particular order.DeyDurkie5;1113772 wrote:http://espn.go.com/blog/afcnorth/post/_/id/43690/afc-north-team-needs-browns
I don't think they were in any order because that writer shared my feelings of the Browns WR options...BR1986FB;1113777 wrote:I'd probably rank RB third of those three unless they were going in no particular order.
If we are picking high enough next year to be able to draft Barkley Heckert/Holmgren/Shumur are gone, at which point all bets will be off.Midstate01;1113769 wrote:McCoy all day. Because that probably means having a high pick next year for jones or Barkley
Ouch, this could have tremendous implications in free agency as both teams were lined up to be major players in FA acquisitions.BR1986FB;1113789 wrote:OMG, OMG....It sounds like the HAMMER just got dropped by Goodell. If I'm reading this right, the Cowboys and Redskins just got punished for cash dumping? Cowboys lose $10 million in cap space while the Skins lose $36 million over the next two years per Schefter? Skins are ****ED.
