NFL Season 2013 has begun

[Sandy D]

I see the Colts, Chiefs and Niners making some major moves to get key players in the draft.

Cincy will do their normal thing and get top picks and waste them away on horrible players who do not pan out well.

Nice find NYC

I still am not convinced Seattle is the best team.

Seattle was the best team this year. I do think given just how absolutely horrendous the AFC Playoffs were and how exposed each game was with all the poor tackling. The Hawks, 49ers and Panthers had the best teams.

It is interesting because all the talk in recent years was about how much of a passing league this has become; well Defense won out.

I will say also if there was a 7th team in the Playoffs and the Cardinals had gotten in with their 10 wins. They very could have went on a run and had a few upsets in the postseason.

Cardinals were looking decent but a bit lax in few games which cost them

I dont think they could hang with the best of the group yet.

SF gets a decent QB it would be hard for them not to win it all.

I think they are far better then Seattle overall. But, you have a HS Qb running the team.

Lots of talk locally about where Blake Bortles will go in the draft.

Johnny Manziel is skipping a lot of the combines for a reason.

Maybe because he cannot pass well? Cannot hit the targets?

If he runs like he did in college like a loose rabbit he will get destroyed.

Bortles is going to do them all.

Had a lengthy discussion with few College afficianado peeps who feel that Manziel wont probably last long in NFL, regardless of prep /shrug

Too little, escape artist and runs sneaky well under pressure but a Sunday of those LBs hitting his little body and he will be toast.

Wont be able to handle the pounding he will get.

[rsot]

Couple of injuries and he could be done.

[Sandy D]

I called this one.

Manziel is being reported to have not done well at the combines.

Just caught a quick glimpse of it on my front page. Did not read into it but does not look good for him.

[rsot]

Reading up on this now...his stats are off...odd

[Sandy D]

I can see Clowney going as No. 1 depending on if there is any trading ups etc going on.

QBs seem to not be as impressive as everyone thought.

I wouldn't mind drafting clownley first. He's got a lot of upsize. If the lions could work some magic and pick him up, that would be good.

It would be a great choice for them to add him.

Looked at this. Vikings have a history of issues and QBS like the Browns and Bengals.

Poor Bortles would die in Cleveland like everyone else has.

Some great players way down in this mock.

I just dont see Manziel worth the pick myself.

Will be fun to see if the Vikings can rebuild

Rebuild what?

1 good season in many years?

They had the base to be very good and hired a poor coach.

And the failure will continue - so much potential

Any solid player will not go to the Vikings as they have a reputation of making mistakes and ending many good careers.

Good players want to win and Minnesota is heading in the wrong direction.

R Mendenhall retires after 6 seasons.

Shows how much money these guys make.

He made over 2 million last year with Arizona and did nothing.

6 years I think he made 20+ million.
