[dbair1967]

stopped reading and began laughing uncontrolably at #1

 

[cmd34(work)]

Lande went off the reservation a few years back.

He was pimping Jonathan Crompton superhard. Swore up and down he would be a great NFL QB.

I think he is going for shock value to try to compte with Kiper, McShay, Mayock.

 

[Midswat]

He's the best of the media guys, IMO. Time will tell.

 

[Bob Sacamano]

Jonathan Hankins
Eric Reid
Marcus Trufant

That's how we're drafting, we just make a list according to pick selections.

 

[cmd34(work)]

same players available, I'd go:

1(18) Lane Johnson, T, Oklahoma (I guess. I'd try like hell to trade down)
2(48) Barkevious Mingo, DE, LSU (would be hard to pass on Barrett Jones and Matt Elam)
3(80) Travis Frederick, C, Wisconsin OR Desmond Trufant, CB, Washington
4(111) John Jenkins, DT Georgia
5(144) TJ McDonald, S, USC
6(175) Kasheem Greene, LB, Rutgers

 

[Cowboysrule122]

Nassib will be a good QB. He already knows the pro style offense. If he gets the right coaching his footwork will improve. He's got an arm and is pretty accurate.

 

[Bob Sacamano]

Give it up, zrin.

 

[dbair1967]

He's the best of the media guys, IMO. Time will tell.

Say what?

 

[Midswat]

Say what?

Most media guys like Kiper, McShay, etc... they all suck. They all tote the same line.

Russ Lande is one of the better media guys out there as far as actual player evaluation. He calls his shot. Not afraid to go against the grain.

Looks like from his ratings above he is 100% ******.

Right. Because I'm sure you've broken down film on all 200 of those guys.

OOOORRRRR..... you've been subjected to the same media hyping fo the same draft candidates that everyone else has.

Please. Its a freaking joke dude. 1,6,9,11,14, 16 & 20....some of those guys wont even be drafted in the first round, let alone anywhere near where he has them ranked

 

[Midswat]

Please. Its a freaking joke dude. 1,6,9,11,14, 16 & 20....some of those guys wont even be drafted in the first round, let alone anywhere near where he has them ranked

Oh. So that's where you've gotten off track.

You think he's trying to predict where these guys will get drafted.

K.

He thinks the most talented player in this draft will be drafted in the 2nd or 3rd rd?

OK
