7th for Stanton, lmao. I still can't believe he was drafted in round 2.

I can't believe he wasn't a 1st rounder after his heisman campaign. Sparty No!!

packers get a 4th for their back up flynn.....we get a 7th for our back up stanton lol.....hows that work out?

as well as playing time , they take into account the amount of $$$ the player was signed away for....Flynn was 26 million

Even as a diehard MSU fan.....I laughed a little when he was drafted. I thought SOMEONE might reach for him in the late3rd/early 4th .....but more likely he would be a 5th or 6th round pick.

Leave it to Millen and Martz to think they were smarter than EVERYONE else.

so now they are rewarding teams for being absolutely fucking dumb? lol. 26 mil and the guy never sees the field and the packers reap all the rewards....sounds about right.

Rumor is Arians wants him to go to ARI with him. Loved his work ethic and knowledge of the system.

I'm sure Larry Fitz is salivating over that cannon.

Is this guy any good, Eric Fisher from CMU. I saw that McCrap ranked him rather high. Would he be an option assuming Milner and Joekel were gone?

hes been mocked in the top 10 in alot of mocks. From what i read hes compared alot to Joe Staley obviously cause they both went to CMU but also cause of his speed and foot quickness.

You know how people say, after drafting a quality LT, "he will be our LT for the next 10-12 years." Who ever thought that would be Backus?

then you got guys like Jake Long that are all pros in their first couple years then fizzle with nagging injury concerns. Id rather have the solid guy for 12 years then be stuck overpaying a guy that cant be healthy.

Killed it at the senior bowl too, people saying he was the best player that week.

Interesting name to throw out there. Heyward Bey is more than likely going to be released. His speed opposite calvin would be interesting. Completely sucked in OAK sure.....but OAKs passing game has been horrendous and their qb play has not been good. Would be interesting to see if stafford could throw him open down field.

Gotta say I like the chip too.

dude I'd take Jake Long right now in a heartbeat.

2nd OT off the board.

I'd love it if they brought him in.

Missed 6 games total, not like he's missing half a seasons each year. If we had Jake Long I'd have constant wood.

for sure...jake long is still jake long. But realistically the dolphins havent seemed like theyre too aggressive in resigning him. The phins havent had that strong of a run game in the last couple years. And if backus and reiff are here are you really going to pay top dollar for a guy that you already have the holes filled when you could use that money to throw at a DE like Kruger? I guess maybe if you got long you could go Long at LT, Reiff at RG and Backus at RT? Not even that line could make up for Raiolas shortcommings lol.

IMO, if they went that way - new guy LT, Reiff RT and Sackus RG.
