I'm excited about the panthers cowboys game in Jerry world this thanksgiving. I'll finally get to take in that mammoth stadium and sport my #13 Benji jersey
Who is everyone hoping to get with their respective team's picks?
For the Saints, I'm hoping that Beasley is still around by 13. I'll be happy if Cooper, White, or Parker are still around, also. My number 1 is Brandon Scherff, but I doubt he lasts.
By pick 31, I hope we get a CB or WR (unless we already grabbed a WR). I'm also hoping for a third round grab of Bryce Petty
It's so hard to have an opinion about who the Bills are picking because fifty is so far away but I'd be cool with them taking OL or TE. Is also be fine with them trading any/all of their picks for next year.
Drafting at 27 the Cowboys can go a few different ways. They can hope either Gurley or Gordon fall to them or at least fall reasonably close enough to try and trade up for them, go defense and sure up the line with either Carl Davis or Eddie Goldman, go the corner route and grab up Marcus Peters, or grab a inside linebacker to pair up next to Sean Lee and Rolondo Mclain and snag Eric Kendricks. My hope is they can get lucky and land one of those beast RBs of the future(next 5 years) but id be content with any of the other people i listed.

They need to sure up that line so McCoy has some running room and whoever ends up winning the qb battle isn't on his back constantly.

My only concern is my dynasty fantasy draft. I have the 5th, 11th, 19th, and 23rd picks in the first two rounds on my expansion team that went 6-7 and almost made the playoffs in the first season. Building around a core of Mike Evans, Brandin Cooks, Jeremy Hill, Tre Mason, CJ Anderson/Ronnie Hillman, Derek Carr and Teddy Bridgewater. Would love it to work out that I got some combination of Devante Parker/DGB, Ameer Abdullah, Jaelen Strong, David Cobb, and maybe like a Sammie Coates.

I agree that they need a guard but O linemen drafted that late tend to not be productive. (There are, of course, exceptions.) The guard from Duke seems promising and should be available around then. I'd also be fine with them packaging #50 & #81 to move up to the bottom of the 1st to get a more ready guy.
They really only have one starting spot up for grabs this year* so most of these picks are going to complete for a backup spot at best. Making less picks is fine by me.
Just hoping they don't pick a running back.
*Not counting QB and they're not getting one of those to start in this draft.

Yeah, the bills run a man-power blocking scheme, right? Pretty hard to find those guys outside of the top 50. It's possible, but rarely works out right away. I really think your strategy of adding skill players before you have a line is going to be your downfall. If you guys had a line, I'd pick you to win your division. No joke. But you can't be a smash mouth team with no smash.
The dream scenario for me:
Eagles trade back to 30 or so. Add an additional 3rd. They pick Byron Jones. He'll be the fifth 3 sigma athlete in the NFL. The other 4? Calvin Johnson, Lane Johnson, Evan Mathis, & JJ Watt They package the 2 thirds to acquire another 2nd rounder (where the value in this draft lies) With the 2 second rounders they pick DJ Humphries and Nelson Agholor
I really expect a Patriots style draft this year. Lots of moving around.
So Ray Lewis is skipping the draft to help Baltimore find peace. Really, Stabby Ray? Really think you should be the poster child for non-violence? Really?!?!?

The best you can hope for from your mistakes in life is to learn. People can change. I think he will be a well respected voice in Baltimore and hope he can make a difference.

Listen, I'm all about forgiveness but Ray Lewis was involved in the murder of two people, hid the evidence, testified against his friends and then was able to go on to have what will no doubt be a Hall of Fame career. I don't think that he deserves to be idolized and I definitely don't think that he should be telling others how to best behave in society. He may not be the same person that he was fourteen years ago but that doesn't mean that he's not a hypocrite.

Yea, pretty sure if that would have happened now his ass would have been out the door in 2 seconds after the Aaron Hernandez situation. I guess since he technically didn't commit the murders, it was all fine and dandy with the NFL.

I don't believe Ray Lewis personally murdered anybody. He could have been more open in his testimony against his associates and their actions on that day. He was without a doubt mixed in with a bad crowd of peers and putting himself in situations he didn't need to be involved in. I feel bad for the family members of the victim who have not found the closure they seek. Since that happened in 2000 Lewis has had no other legal troubles and, for whatever it's worth, became seemingly genuinely religious. I don't think he is a saint, but believe he is more than qualified to speak out against violence and its harm to society.

"I don't think Ray Lewis is a saint" hot take, with that murder stuff and all

"I forgive Ray Lewis, but I will hold him accountable for his mistakes until the day he dies."
At some point, you need to be able to distance yourself from your mistakes, and I think Ray has done more than enough to do that. Whether you like it or not, he is a roll model. He's been on TV for over 15 years. I'm glad he's stepping up and telling people not to make the same mistakes as him.

Are you implying this make's me "doughy"? Perhaps. But I'm not going to judge some guy I've never met to the point where I convince myself he shouldn't be trying to help make a difference. He already has the stigma of a-hole murderer, so he should be allowed to try and reverse that stigma. I think complaining about Ray Lewis telling kids to stop destroying the city is pretty low on the list of things to complain about.

Hold on here. I think characterizing his role in a double homicide as a mistake is soft-selling it a bit. He has distanced himself from the situation by settling the case both legally and civilly out of court. He paid money and made the situation go away. Then he stayed out of trouble. You know who else didn't get into trouble in the last fourteen years? Most other non-murdering NFL players. He doesn't get extra credit because he stopped being involved in people being stabbed to death.
I am not denying that he is looked at as a role model by some, I just don't think that it's a good thing. Sticking in the Baltimore area, Ravens fans wore Ray Rice jerseys after the video of him knocking his wife unconscious surfaced. He may have been a role model to them but that doesn't mean it's a good thing.
Don't get me wrong, I think it's better that he is saying the right things than the wrong ones. I would just prefer that he just shut up instead.
At least I don't have to watch him during draft coverage...

Well he's an American citizen now, just like you and I. With that freedom, he's allowed to tell people to stop doing things he disagrees with, especially considering he has an audience. I'm sure there are thousands of people inspired by what Ray Lewis has said. There's a big difference between telling someone to shut up, and ignoring them. I just don't see the point in caring about what Ray has to say.
