He called Wilson “ a guy with acceleration that hits it hard, but vision and patience is not quite there, and not great in the passing game, but can improve,”
spot on

The guys from NFL Network and CBSSports project Wilson to the Pats with the 31st pick. I'm not sure I understand that pick. They don't run a lot and they spent two draft picks last year on RBs (Steven Ridley and Shane Vereen). McShay's projection of the Broncos makes a ton of sense though.

I think that Wilson would fit perfectly on the Giants and Hosley would be a perfect fit in the 49ers aggressive defensive system.

I have seen Wilson projected to the Giants and the Broncos. Starting his career with a Manning at your side would be great for DW. Something tells me Hosley will end up on the Dolphins.

Curtis Painter just signed a one year deal with the Ravens to compete with Tyrod for the backup QB spot.

FUCK YOU CURTIS PAINTER!!

Here's why...

Ravens Hire Caldwell As QBs Coach

Jim Caldwell was Painter's former head coach with the Colts.

Personally, I don't think TT has anything to worry about.

Neither do I. As a big Ravens fan, if that sack of shit Flacco ever got injured, I would be furious if Painter came in. If that game was at home, I would actually expect the fans to boo him trotting onto the field over Tyrod.

If TT can't beat out Painter then he's not good enough to be in the league. It's that simple. I'm confident he can do this with ease. Hell, at times I think he could beat out Flacco the way Flacco played in some games last year

There were several situations last year that I thought the Ravens would have been better served by having a much more mobile QB on the field. Flacco was getting hammered in situations TT could have turned into buying time until a receiver got open or a nice downfield run.

obviously its a re-run but there is a show @ 8pm tonight that follows Eddie Royal through the draft.




Unfortunately it also follows Matt Ryan

Word is the Skins are taking a hard look at Jaymes Brooks for a last day pick/UFA....

 

[NickVT10]

Athlon has David Wilson, Jayron and Danny Coale as 2nd day picks.(2nd-3rd rounds)

 

[Lumbee09]

Athlon has David Wilson, Jayron and Danny Coale as 2nd day picks.(2nd-3rd rounds)

Danny Coale going day 2? Interesting.. I was expecting him to be my main reason to tune in on day 3. I haven't been following draft closely. What round are most people expecting him to go?

Tried searching myself and found a website having him go in the 6th round as a WR/P. I have now blacklisted that site.

NFL teams were informed this week of 2 more players of note who have flunked drug tests: ASU LB Vontaze Burfict and Va Tech CB JayRon Hosley

Jay Glazer‏@JayGlazer
Hosley, a well-regarded CB prospect, wrote a letter to teams apologizing and for Burfict it stands as yet another mark against him
