		<description><![CDATA[hopefully the steelers will trade up the twins would be epic and they will work perfectly together anyway on the draft itself, could be and probably will be completely wrong but right now i think:

Boom: Quinn, Kerrigan, Green, P.Peterson, Amukamara, C.Jordan.

Havn&#039;t seen enough to predict busts but i really have a bad feeling about Bowers. His highlights look to be more the work of those around him that him as an all out killer imo]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Hey metalhead, 

The stats don&#039;t lie and they say Charles Johnson had a better year than Peppers, plain and simple. 

In addition to his huge cap number and his declining skill set, here&#039;s another &quot;fun fact&quot; about Peppers that you are just of the cusp of realizing: He has a penchant for going MIA in big games.

You can argue that people game-plan against him but people game-planned against Reggie White and rarely shut him down the way teams seem to be able to shut Peppers down when it counts most... just saying. 

You mention the game he played against the Panthers, other than the one play he made on a  screen pass that was thrown right into his chest, what did his stat line look like? I was at that game and for a guy that was so fired up to come back and kick our butt, he didn&#039;t produce very much did he? 

We got all the best years of Peppers career here in Carolina at a bargain compared to what the Bears paid, then we moved on and now we have a guy who can produce at the same level, on a much more consistent basis, for a fraction of the cost... but hurray for you! you broke the bank for a guy that *almost* helped you win something... first runner up to the NFC championship, CONGRATULATIONS! 

It&#039;s gonna suck when they have to start dismantling that team to get back under the cap, now that they sold-out to get aging expensive players who still couldn&#039;t get them over the hump by beating the youngest team in the league with one of the lowest salary cap numbers, that must really sting, I guess you can&#039;t buy a championship after all, huh? 

At right about same time the Bears are rebuilding, the Panthers will be contending for the NFC championship with a group of young, talented players who they can keep under contract for many years because we don&#039;t give monster contracts to 30 year old DE&#039;s in a failed effort to buy ourselves a championship. 

I guess you didn&#039;t happen to notice that two of the 3 teams in the NFL with the highest # of their own drafted players on the roster played in the superbowl this year... I&#039;ll let you guess who the third team is. It&#039;s called building through the draft so you can sustain success for a long period of time, you might want to look into it and stop following the Daniel Snyder plan for buying a Lombardi trophy in 3 easy steps.]]></description>

<p>The stats don&#8217;t lie and they say Charles Johnson had a better year than Peppers, plain and simple. </p>
<p>In addition to his huge cap number and his declining skill set, here&#8217;s another &#8220;fun fact&#8221; about Peppers that you are just of the cusp of realizing: He has a penchant for going MIA in big games.</p>

		<description><![CDATA[The bills got rid of Marcus Stroud this morning, so why wouldn&#039;t they be in line to take Fairley? 

I don&#039;t understand why nobody is behind Fitzpatrick.. dude played well on a sucky team, it would be unfair and premature to assume he&#039;s not their guy. He did enough (imo) to get a crack at it for one more year.. Buffalo sucks in many areas, QB definitely shouldn&#039;t be addressed that early]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Just in case you didn&#039;t get the memo I will break it down for you.  Teams in the NFL do not run the pistol offense so why would the Seahawks draft Colin Kaepernick with their first round pick? Sure he showed great promise at the Senior Bowl, but I look at the body of work not just one week of practice.

I am all for it in round three and beyond, but no way is he first round talent.  That would be a reeeeeeach pick in which the Seahawks have no room for error so they have to go with a sure player and its not him.  I will give you credit for thinking outside the box.]]></description>
