I hope so.He was very good in college and looks like a pro.These guys are hard to predict what they will do at the next level.

Just like the Dolphins picking the tackle who stole money and had IG pictures of him with drugs

Cowboys will put up points but the biggest weakness is your D
romo can't always win shootoits
like he saints this year can score but could not stop a soul

defense wins championships and Dallas needs to get back into the playoff

[The Solution]

Round 2:
smith to the cowboys. Great pick, if that knee gets healthy he will be a huge addition to that defense

Jack to Jags. Another risky pick with injury. If it plays off it will be worth the pickup

Henry heads to Tennessee to play with Mariota. A deadly young combo there.

a lot of defense talent coming off the board early in round 2.

Bob you probably saw Smith play quite a bit.Tell me something about him.Run stopper?Pass rusher? anything stand out?

[The Solution]

He held down the irish defense and lead them in tackles.
He may be better known for stopping the run and being a great pass rusher. He needs to improve his pass drop and coverage skills

Other big picks:
Jets sign PSU QB Hackenberg (many considered him 3rd/4th round)
Steelers grab another Saftey to help that defense after going for a CB in round 1
Patriots from Cryus Jones standout CB from Alabama
Titans really looking to help that Defense by signing a DE and DT. Also picked up Henry a big running back

[supbro!]

Steelers need to sign a guard.

Steelers need to sign a guard.

Inwss hoping they would get one during FA

Steelers need to sign a guard.

Steelers nail 2 good defensive backs, quality DT, and then pick up a big Tackle from LSU
other big names to come off the board:
Pick 100: Connor Cook to Oakland QB From Michigan State
Jacksonville really beefing up the Defense grabbing a top notch LB from Notre Dame
Dak Prescott interesting pick by the cowboys more of an athlete/QB
Cardale jones from OSU goes to buffalo which will be a great learning experience behind a similar QB

I was kind of hoping Dallas would get Connor Cook.Prescott is interesting.He was a winner and a leader...not sure if he has an NFL skill set.Maybe he shows enough to hang around and learn from Tony.You never know.Hey Bob this Smith from ND they are saying without the knee injury he could have been a top 10 pick.Maybe we can red shirt him a year and have something good in 2017

[The Solution]

he was going to be the #1 LB if he was not injured.

Judge Roberto Canas on Thursday took no more than 15 minutes to explain the conditions for Manziel's release on $1,500 bond. In addition, Canas said Manziel could have no contact -- no calls, texts, emails, letters or visits -- with Crowley.


It was Manziel's first court appearance in relation to a misdemeanor charge stemming from a domestic violence complaint by Crowley.


Manziel on Thursday also had to sign an affidavit confirming he doesn't own any firearms and that there aren't any firearms where he lives.


No plea was entered, but defense attorney Robert Hinton says Manziel plans to plead not guilty.


1,500$ Bond for beating his girlfriend. Awesome.

Manziel is such a sad story to see unfold. I loved watching Johnny Football at A&M.

One of the greatest college players ever. Forget football for now, hopefully he can get his life in order.

Nothing is scarier then having his father publicly announce that, unless he gets help, he does not see his son living another year.

That is as real as it gets.

But to manziel he rather beat his girlfriend and go party.
Ridiculous.
