Looks like we wont be blowing the Dolphins away with any trade offers....

jacksastud — Wed, 23 Apr 2008 00:19:30 -0000

Dolphins just signed up Jake Long almost a week before the draft. Does this change much? says that Miami liked the idea of making sure the #1 was hemmed up and in camp on time. Ronnie Brown comes back healthy? John beck turns out to be the real deal? maybe Parcells is got a plan to make another move with Jason Taylor to get another first day type pick? Interesting dynamic having the first pick set in stone a week before the actual draft. St. louis, you are on the clock!!

mock draft season has started.

Looks like he has the cowboys going offense, and more precisely big 10 offense. mario mannigham with the browns pick and rashard mendenhall with our own. I am all for us picking either one of these guys with one of our picks, but it just seems like if the good 'ol best available players happens to be either an interior lineman or defensive back, its gonna be hard to take two offensive players right out the chute. Like i already implied, i like both of his picks for us as we need to get younger at the WR position and need more depth at the RB position. http://sports-ak.espn.go.com/nfl/dra...

U have to be an espn insider to go to the link on ESPN's website and i am not. I actually caught the order and mel's forcast on the crawl while i was watching espen earier today. Can u sign MB3 long term and go ahead and draft another RB that early? i watched mendenhall once or twice this year and would be all for drafting him. this looks like a deep draft for good RB so i would take advantage. i think sweed would be avaialble if you longhorn fans prefer him over mario, and felix jones looks to be gone before we pick at all.

Our RB quandry...

could anyone clear up our actual situation as far marion and jones contractual situation?

With all the talk of us draftin a rb in the first round(i dont think it will or should happen by the way), i was just wondering what the odds of re-signing either/niether or both of theses guys. Futhermore, do they have any rights as far as qualifing offers to retain rights to either? it seems likely that marion will get a lion's share of any thing and that JJ might just get a minimum offer to make sure the boys get some compensation if he does walk. Would it be so bad if Jewls just accepted a secondary role and a stuck around for small time bucks? i just dont like the idea of us giving up on what amounts to the guy we picked over steven jackson. Make no mistake, i have no want to bring back jewls over marion, but to just let him walk so that we can draft his clone? marion is the real deal in my opinion and should be paid as such, JJ is a back up and should also be paid accordingly. Draft the best players available, thats what good teams with not to many holes do. Once again though, anyone who can offer some clarity to the restricted/unrestricted status and what that entails for our two rb's would be my hero......

and on a side note to terry, nice move on shooting down my trade offer of a Qb and a rb for a single player(who i cant even remember) so that you can leave your injured reserve QB lienart in your starting lineup all year.

Sorry, but here is a FF post

sorry for posting here guys, but i just want to make it known that either Carson Palmer or D-Mcnabb are available for trade in our league. I wont call teams out, but if u have a fella as your starting Qb that is on IR or named Jay... u need to offer me a decent RB or WR. Also willing to package J. Jones if it will push a deal over the top.

FF draft about a week out....

for those who signed up for our yahoo league, just a reminder that we are drafting on sunday, august 26 at 930CDT. its an online draft, so hopefully every one will be able to participate. If for some reason you cant make the live draft, be sure to pre set your rankings so that your team will look something like you want it to. furthermore, its not a bad idea to run over to the home page and make sure your system jives with yahoo's draft scheme. a role call might be in order as well, just to make sure everyone has there mind in the right spot....

The commish.

who are these guys??

jacksastud — Mon, 16 Jul 2007 04:47:07 -0000

Since trading Lofton seems like a fore-gone conclusion, i took a peek at the indians board to see what the hype is like over there. I keep hearing names like Sowers, Crowe, Gutz, and Fransico... any info on these guys? help me out with some numbers and projections if u can.

Nice win today... all extra base hits for Tex since he came back? just dump some money on him and also asure him we are doing the same with carlos zambrano in the offseason.

could we kill two birds with one stone....

jacksastud — Mon, 16 Jul 2007 00:04:04 -0000

What if the Rangers offered a combo of Mark Teixeria and either Gagne/Otsuka? they are obviously sellers this season and could bolster our pen as well as lineup. Tex is under contract for at least one more season following 07 as would Otsuka. Gagne would only be a true rental and be able to walk at the end of the season(although as a Type A free agent might net u Two 1st round picks), but has the potential to sub-plant jones in a closing role. Just interested to see what u guys think. whould u do it? who would u be willing to part with versues what would it take to get it done?

D. Mason..... would ya?

Just checking out an article about the top 20 FA's when i came across Desmond Mason ( http://sportsillustrated.cnn.com/multimedia/photo_gallery/0706/gallery.nba.free.agents/content.11.ht ml). It does list the Mavs as possible suitors, it also makes mention of is shooting skill(or lack there of). I could have only seen us making a run at him with our MLE if we either didnt already have a greg Buckner or hadnt re-signed Stack. He is the slasher that we need as well as being an active defender, but i would only be in favor of making a run at him should we Deal Buckner as a throw in another trade that could be brewing.
