Hey, don't stress it

The proof isn't in the draft, it's in the 2-3 years after the draft. I remember this forum salivating over JJ Watt and wondering whether he might fall to us...instead the Texans took him at 11th overall and he looks like a hall of famer

I remember reading about Victor Cruz pre-draft, seeing him go undrafted, and was subscribed to the NYT Giants blog at the time. He destroyed training camp, made the roster and the rest is history!

Actually, the Rams guaranteed $50K of the salary of Westbrooks..

Thanks for the info.

Hm, I thought I had seen someone supply info earlier today from Twitter stating the Rams had given Ethan Westbrooks $50k.

You can guarantee their salaries, but the CBA limits the up-front signing bonus. Go figure.

Great job with your site Mike, Learned a lot about our draft picks from your write ups!!!

Not only Zac Stacy is mediocre at best, he requested to be traded a minute after Rams selected Gurley. The guy is a quitter, doesn't want to share touches and was unwilling to win his spot.

He fits the Jets

I'm not sure about that - running back is a short-lived career, and platooning with your team's 1st round pick is no fun if you thought you were the starter. Unlikely you'll win the job in training camp against the golden boy, especially a player like Gurley.

Jets aren't an ideal team to go to (Powell, Ivory, Ridley), the Rams have screwed him over tbh - Jets situation isn't any better for him than the Rams

DaBruinz said:

Interesting the number of RBs the Jets have..
Chris Ivory
Steven Ridley
Bilal Powell

And now they add Zac Stacey.. Do they have an O-line to run behind?

Hopefully they cut Ridley and the Pats take him back after he has the tattoo blacked out.

What's happening to Collins is disgraceful. Someone needs to draft this kid. It's the only fair thing to do.

Not before someone takes McBride. He doesn't even have any criminal charges against him... That the public is aware of, anyways.

He's said he doesn't want to be drafted, would you rather teams went against his wishes?

When Mason was drafted, I said out loud that Manx will be really happy. My wife was walking by and gave me the strangest look.

I do tend to generate funny looks from women. Why do you think I do draftnik stuff.

I don't give a **** about McBride. I care about a guy who, if he's innocent, has lost millions of dollars. If he's drafted, and he's innocent, he can either sign with a team or go back into next year's draft. If he's not drafted, and he's innocent, he can't re-enter the draft and will be forced to take UDFA money.

His agent also added that he wouldn't sign with a team were he to be drafted.

Collins is better off as an udfa.

And if he's guilty?

Wow.. Wells is legally blind out of his right eye.. Just confirmed it in interview with Daniels and Petraglia..

Weird that it wasn't mentioned more.. Though, as he said, it doesn't affect his play..

Thanks a lot Ashley, that means a lot. I will be doing post draft write ups as well. I already have some Arkansas tape on in the background.

Really pumped to see Trey Flowers

What's the deal with him? I missed the story on that one.

Has Josue Matias been drafted? Guard Florida st
