nice blog
I think if the Lions go O with the first pick it should be J. Smith, if they go D it should be Curry.
If I was picking, I would go with Curry.
Thanks a lot! I am really pleased with how things are coming so far.
Furthermore, I completely agree with your idea on Smith and Curry. I think either one of them will be a great choice at number 1.
I like the info,dosen’t mean you were there.
Some more color on the site would hold the eye longer,and add change of pace.
Overall:
Very nice info,lots of work put into it.
Alright, thanks for the suggestions. Ill see what I can do about adding more color to spruce things up a bit more. And you are right, I didnt attend the combine- just watched it on nfl network’s live feed. But I still enjoy having discussions about football just the same
Keep up the good work. If you need any instant info to help speed your process along let me know. I do have the NFL Network and I am attempting to keep up with my thoughts and analysis as fast as possible.
I have a blog going right now that I post updates to as I see things happen.
Wrapping up the O-Line drills and getting ready to head into the skill position guys today.
