It’s all about ratings. Rubbish.

Is there a bonus to attend? Do all of these guys crave attention? I’d be more willing to draft a guy that wants to be at home with the people closest to him, and then hop the first flight to my city to start working. No flash, just hard work. That is all I care about.

The question is which one will be lucky enough to wear the colors of greatness?
———————————————————-The answer is the 24th. best player in the draft. And most wont say that it say it’s very lucky to end up with that dysfunctional former decent team. They will be dwelling the bottom of the AFC north for the next decade.

Who knows what other private workouts have been done or is still being scheduled before the draft on a guy who did not do anything at the Combine due to an injury and then put himself on the map as a result of his eye-opening performance at the ASU Pro Day. And its so hilarious the constant heel sniping that goes on ad nauseum by the mildcats fans of Foles who seems to be on course to sign an undrafted free agent contract as practice fodder. BTW, it will be interesting to see if Osweiler gets drafted before the scouts original predictions of the 4th round.

It figures the one guy most have Buffalo taking on their boards, Riley Reiff, will not attend. Not that Reiff would be my choice, but he is likely to be the “Best Player Available” when Buffalo picks at 10.

I know I will be chanting Floyd or Kuechly when we are on the clock. I hate the whole BPA idea, It should be biggest need or at least close to what we need, but thats how Buddy Nix rolls.

My luck, Richardson will fall to 10 and we’ll be stuck with three starting RB’s, Jackson, Spiller and Richardson. Not that Richardson is a bad player, but we already have the issue of who earns more playing time Freddy or CJ?

I love the Draft, but besides last year when we took Dareus, I am usually let down. Maybe this year will be different…Well I can dream can’t I. ———————————————————————————————————————————————- taking the best player available is the best way to get a lot of talent on your roster, you can draft for a need in the middle rounds. I’m not saying you can’t draft for need but Imo best player available is the best way to go.

I thought it was an honor to be invited cause that meant you were one of the top 5-10 players in the country. Now it’s anybody that was at the combine can come? What a waste of time.
