need prince in the first round bro


I'm too realistic to believe such a great corner will fall too us.

I wouldn't mind trading down a few spots and grab Jimmy Smith/Extra Picks.

Just wanted to pass this interesting tid bit around. The UGA Bulldogs spring game will consist of a "legends" skills competition. Our very own franchise QB Matthew Stafford is scheduled to participate in this competition. Which involves throwing pass routes. They are not specifically saying what Matthew will do in this QB Legends contest but apparently the release has him competing in the challenge with DJ Shockley and others. Also if anyone on here is in the Georigia/ Atlanta area it would be really cool to know how Matt does in the competition. Here is the story

Matthew Stafford put his injured shoulder to the test in the halftime quarterback challenge at the 2011 Georgia football spring game, taking a commanding victory over other former UGA quarterbacks. His competition: D.J. Shockley, David Greene, and Eric Zeier. In round one, Stafford took on Greene, zipping the ball with no apparent pain or effort.

He was able to get three of his four passes into the can 35 yards down the field, giving him 13 points somehow (I didn’t pay attention to the rules!) while the other three quarterbacks combined for seven. Guess which of these quarterbacks is currently an NFL starter?

In the second event, our contestants attempted to hit moving targets 12 yards down the field, with Stafford’s first pass coming a little too hot for the volunteer receiver. That’s a pretty good sign. His second pass, a 40-yard bomb, was also dropped. Not exactly Calvin Johnson out there, folks.

And the best news of the day: Stafford left the field unharmed.

The Detroit Lions have reportedly signed first-round draft pick Nick Fairley to a four-year contract.

The Detroit Free Press reports Fairley, a defensive tackle from Auburn, received a four-year contract worth $10 million. It includes a $5.7 million bonus.

"Thank GOD, Family and Fans! I'm officially a Lion! Time to get to work!," Fairley said via Twitter.
