You did this one yourself?

Saints have Kenny Vaccaro who just said a standout rookie year, and just signed that dude from Buffalo I can't remember his name, but he's supposed to be real good, so I can't see them going safety.

i use a site i just read rumors off and this is for Saints. I gave Lee away before them

5/5: "It's official. I'm not falling away from Marqise Lee." - Larry Holder, NOLA.com, who has consistently mocked Lee to the Saints at No. 27. Holder has the Saints taking Jeremiah Attaochu and Dri Archer in the second and third rounds.

4/29: The Saints have met with Jimmie Ward twice thus far (Senior Bowl, pre-draft visit). Go here for the entire

also in the new NFL, 2 safeties isnt gonna cut it. teams run more nickel/passing packages with the increase in passing, so i dont see why going for Ward would be a bad thing.

If the Browns draft Manziel, and he becomes the starter, I won't watch a game all season. I'll watch NASCAR before I watch that mess.

Generally speaking, Lee isn't considered an elite level WR? I thought he was, so there'd be no way to get him in the late 20s, but I don't follow draft stuff at all.

Funny, cause it'll be the 1st time I watch a Browns game in years.

i think he has a boom/bust label. a high percentage of drops. Watkins/Evans/Beckham are all ahead and possibly even Brandin Cooks.

Gotcha.

Am I the only one who thinks Jarvis Landry will be better than Beckham?

Then I'll watch all the Saints games, and you can have the Browns

Landry ran a 4.77 so he will def drop cause of it. could be a steal for a team

Yea, Beckham is infinitely more athletic. But man, Landry is just always open and never dropped a pass and made some of the unreal catches consistently that I recall from a WR.

The Colts first round pick was spent on T-Rich 2.9. Nice.

Report: More than 10 players failed drug tests at scouting combine

Fox Sports reported that "more than 10" players failed drug tests at the combine, and the biggest names on the list are LSU quarterback Zach Mettenberger and Florida State defensive tackle Timmy Jernigan.

The drug use itself might not be the biggest red flag, depending on what the drug was. Miami offensive tackle Seantrel Henderson, for example, reportedly tested positive for marijuana, the same drug that commissioner Roger Goodell wouldn't rule out letting players use for medical reasons. In 2014, when two states have legalized marijuana, you'd have to be pretty conservative to overreact to someone using it.

That's not really the issue. The issue is decision making. Players are coached up on every aspect of the combine, from how to run the 40 to how to answer every team's goofy questions. And one of the most basic things about the combine is that you're going to take a drug test. The combine is basically the most important job interview of these players' lives. It's an understatement to say it's a poor decision to do anything in the weeks leading up to the combine that would lead to a positive test. If you can't be trusted to handle something that basic, how are you going to deal with the NFL life?

Mettenberger and Jernigan were the biggest names among those in the Fox report. Fox didn't have a complete list, but said LSU defensive tackle Anthony Johnson, Henderson and Florida State linebackers Telvin Smith and Christian Jones also failed drug tests.

Mettenberger's agents told Fox Sports he had a diluted sample, which is considered a failed test by the NFL. His agents told Fox that Mettenberger was drinking extra water at the advice of his doctors after cramping during his rehabilitation for a torn ACL. That should be easy for Mettenberger to prove, but it's something teams will wonder about.

Each team will have to consider how to weigh the failed tests in its evaluation of those players. But it certainly won't help the players that they have to answer questions about why they failed a drug test even though they knew well in advance they'd be tested.

You've watched all these yrs but you're gonna stop now!??!?

Posted: **Mon May 05, 2014 10:06 pm**

Manziel is near the top of my list of guys I want at pick 4, if for no other reason that if he's going to go down, he's going to go down in an epic blaze of glory... and god forbid the kid wins... Cleveland would embrace "Johnny Fuckin' Football" like no other NFL team would. (Lebron level love there)

Good point. I watched when Brandon Weeden was the starter, I guess he can't be any worse than that.
