No they didn't, Maxwell flat out won the job and would keep the #2 role whether Thurmond or Browner were kept.




The Hawks will look to add CB(s) in the draft, but not in the 1st. Its no coincidence that the Hawks have never drafted a CB early and pretty much any corner that has stepped on the field for the Hawks has been great...the Hawks have the best DB coaching in the NFL, something Carroll was known for before coming to Seattle. Maybe we don't extend Sherman, if we don't we will extend Maxwell, we're not letting both of them go. Behind them we have Jeremy Lane who has already started before and played well and has atleast another year with the team beyond this upcoming one.

I guess its not completely outside the realm of possibilities, but I'd be shocked to see the Hawks draft a corner in the 1st.

Also, the Hawks have plenty of room to extend all 3 if they want, they have $15m this year which can of course roll over if they decide not to use it and have 44 players on the payroll for 2015 at ~$90m spent (and the cap is suppose to rise another $5m or something)...Lynch might not make it through his current deal considering his playing style and short career of RBs, and the fact that he was considering retiring this past season if the Hawks won the SB (thank god he didn't).

Drafting Blake Bortles number one overall would make it very difficult for me to have any confidence in the Texans moving forward.

Who's the blonde?

I wouldn't mind Carr at all in the 2nd round. Not with the 5th pick tho.

Watkins clowney mack or trade down.

No clue. Someone posted that gif forever ago on here (I think it was Mark, maybe Mike) and I saved it on my tinypic and there it is.



You know, you guys keep saying *list of players* or trade down. What if no one wants to trade up? It's very very realistic to think that if ATL moves up for Clowney, Jacksonville takes Mack and Cleveland takes Watkins. What then? Matthews or Robinson? I've only heard complaints about those picks as options too.

Everyone wants to trade down in this draft except for the Falcons, Niners and Eagles. Niners won't realistically jump into the top 5 or 10 even. Falcons want Clowney and Eagles want Evans so they don't need to trade up with you. What then? Carr won't be there in round 2. Teddy and Manziel are falling fast. Who do you pick? OL after all the signings? Or a great QB prospect (regardless of any personal feelings, he is a great prospect) that would be perfect to sit behind Schaub for a year?

There isn't a QB worth a top 5 (maybe even top 10) pick this year (except for Garoppogod of course) but QBs are QBs and 3 of them will likely go top 10. If the Raiders drafted Carr at 5, I'd praise the pick, not hate on it.

figured it was just some random gif, but i had to ask anyways

oh and no chance Bridgewater falls. We'd also need to get much more in that trade if we're moving back that far.

At this point, I wouldn't be surprised if Teddy went #1 or second round.

As far as the trade, idk if much more is needed, maybe another pick. I originally had the Niner's third and fifth this year in there too but that seemed a bit overkill.

Then I'd take Matthews or Robinson or Barr I think, unless Bridgewater/Bortles is available. Then again, I haven't seen what the coaching staff has seen. I don't think a QB would be the best decision where we currently are (since there isn't a QB worth a top 5 pick), but I would understand if we take a QB.

That doesn't mean I have to like it >=(
/e
Then take a WR or DT in the 2nd round.

Remember early on when I was mocking a DT to the Raiders and someone, idk who, but someone ( ) gave me shit for it? All I'm saying is it happened.

FA changed a lot of things. At the time, DT was not one of our top needs--QB, WR, OL, and CB were. We picked up a QB, a WR, a CB, and several OL.

But you're right, I was adamantly against a DT in the face of greater needs.
