NFL Off Season

What are your thoughts on what's happened so far in the off season? What do you think will happen in the draft? Discuss it all here.

 

Will the Buccaneers go with Mariota at #1?

Who has had the best off season so far do you think?

Packers have had the best off-season. Kept pretty much everyone and will fortify the defense through the draft. Lots of other teams lost key parts to their team, Pats lost Wilfork and Revis just from what I've seen. Seahawks lost a couple of pieces as well. I easily put GB as having the best off-season. Amazing fact on the Packers - No player besides Julius Peppers has ever played for another team. They were all drafted by the Packers. That is incredible.

In other news- Not really sure what the Eagles are going for. Signing Murray was all well and good and a nice recovery for the Shady trade, but at best he's just another Shady. At worst he gets exposed for going from a team with the 1st ranked o-line to the 30th ranked o-line of the Eagles. We could see Murray disappear this year. And lol..Sam Braford? He'll get injured the first game of the season. Even when he's healthy, he's no better than Foles/Sanchez were/are.

Cowboys need to nut up and make a move for Adrian Peterson. Child beater or not, he'd dominate with that O-Line. Hardy was a nice pick-up for the Cowboys as well.

Jets are revamping big time, Revis and Cromartie + Brandon Marshall in town...they just need a QB now.

As for Mariota..fk him. He'll be a bust and so will Winston.

Far as I see it, the 1 seed in the NFC will either be Green Bay or Seattle, and that's going to be important because I think Green Bay needs to be at home to be able to have a great, not just a good, chance of beating Seattle. Though in reality they had em beat this year and choked.

I hate fsu as a UM fan but i really think jameis is gonna be something special in the NFL, Mariota will be a bust more than likely

Winstons going to be utter garbage

what makes you say that? besides his off firld antics I don't see anything stopping him from tearing up the NFL, especially if he goes first it'll be a lot easier throwing to vince jackson and mike Evans

His off the field antics won't disappear just because he's in the NFL (refer to: Johnny Manziel). His talent clearly hasn't translated to the NFL, I don't really see Winston's translating either - Manziel was better too than Winston.

I don't know, all I see in Winston is a glorified Geno Smith. Dude is slow in the pocket and has an average arm in terms of accuracy. Not quite seen enough of him to judge his arm strength. Once Kelvin Benjamin left FSU, Winston got way more pedestrian.

Average? 92 completed passes out of 105 attempts is average? The kid has a gift for throwing the ball on TARGET. Maybe we saw something different during his pro day workout. He's obviously going to be the 1st pick, and I don't know how is antics off the field affects his production on the field in regards to his talent.

I didn't watch his pro day workout. Tom Brady had an awful pro day workout.

You can't take much out of pro day. Hardly a simulation of NFL football.

From what I recall Manziel was pretty good in pro day.

Jamarcus Russell had a cannon arm and showed it off in pro day. How'd his career turn out?

I'm sticking to my guns, Winston's gonna be a bust.

Heard that Jameis agent said that he wasn't ready for the NFL off the field, he's really sounding like manziel

He's worse behaviorally then Manziel. It's going to be...interesting..to say the least.

I mean look at Mariotas stats at Oregon. Even though it was only at a college level you can tell he has the brains & athletic ability to become a great QB in the NFL. Me being a Giant fan, I dont really care, but for the sake of the NFL get Wineston out of there.

 

Tebow signed with the Eagles. Anyone think this will actually go anywhere or no? Very crowded backfield in Philly.

Lol the Iggles are a mess. I don't see all these random moves working out.

Neither. I don't see why you'd trade Foles for Bradford either. At least Foles had one exceptional half season under his belt whereas Sam has rather just been solid and often injured. The salaries of each player also don't make it a good trade imo.

Murray move was good but honestly at best he'll just be marginally better than Shady was. And that is at best - Cowboys had number 1 ranked O-Line. Eagles? Ranked 30th. Murray is going to struggle to find the running holes he had in Dallas.

Then they lost Maclin to free agency making an already unstable WR corps even more unstable.

They've improved on defense, but improving from absolute shit isn't exactly a challenge lol.

I favor Dallas to pick up a RB in the draft and take the division.

Yeah I'm surprised they only picked up McFadden. I was hoping Ridley would sign with the Cowboys if he didn't get picked up by the Pats again. He could honestly be a top 10 RB if given the reigns and his head isn't messed with over the fumbles (which he was actually average with only fumbling 4 times per yr, we just heard so much about it since he'd get benched every time). We can see this from his sophomore? year where he rushed for 1.2k. They are definitely picking up a RB in the draft. Gurley?

Gurley or Yeldon I'd guess - apparently teams are still inquiring about Adrian Peterson.

Vikings seem to be mum on the topic -- which seems to me his departure is unlikely but this is the NFL so who knows.

Yeah. Patsfans.com all say they want to pick up Gurley at #32 but highly doubtful he'll still be available then. From what I've heard he sounds like a can't miss... then I remember when Lawrence Maroney was drafted and look how he turned out lol.

I reckon AP won't be a lifer with the Vikings though, he's definitely going to end up somewhere else in the upcoming years.

 

The first round of the draft finally finished. Pleased with the New England pick up at #32. Was Shane Ray worth the trade up by the Broncos? I don't think so. Also strong wtf moment with the Colts spending a first on a WR when they already have such a deep receiving core. They basically just drafted another TY Hilton.
