Re: New draft/FA/offseason thread
Minter isn't worth that pick. He's not as good a prospect as Kendricks and Wagner the inside linebackers who both went in the 2nd round last year. I see his name in the 1st round in a lot of mock drafts but I really don't get it.
I do like the Harvard FB in round 7
Someone will draft Mathieu in the 4th or 5th round but it won't be Ozzie. The Cardinals would be the best place since he could play with his mentor Patrick Peterson.

Re: New draft/FA/offseason thread
That list is interesting. I don't think it's far off. Shariff Floyd is just not getting the kind of love he deserves. Defensive tackles that have a great first step and consistently get into the backfield are MAJOR impact players.
Is Hankins bigger, stronger, better against the run, etc? Sure... but he doesn't disrupt the passer as much and that trumps EVERYTHING. Who would you rather have, Haloti Ngata or Geno Atkins? I'd rather have Atkins all day and all night.
I've also been beating the drum on Gavin Escobar like crazy. Dude is a beast... GREAT receiving TE who isn't a top-flight blocker right now, but he has the tools to become one with time and coaching.

Re: New draft/FA/offseason thread
IF Kelly was interested in a mobile QB...which just going by history here would suggest that he likes to design his offense around QB's with mobility...then Tebow might not be a bad choice.
Consider this:
Kelly may not envision Nick Foles as the guy to run his offense (just speculation here...), so even though he may let Foles compete for a starting gig, the likelihood of Foles winning the gig is small because Foles is more of a traditional, drop-back QB. In that regard, if Foles were just going to ride the pine, why not trade him to a team for a QB who (though has his issues as a passer) would be a lot more "friendly" to Kelly's offense. Even if Tebow can't win the starting nod for Kelly's offense, he still would be a better off-the-bench QB for Kelly's offense than what Foles would be.
Secondly, I was more looking at it from the Jets stance. Foles would be inexpensive, has knowledge of Mornigwheg's offense, and is arguably already better than Sanchez.
Now, it is entirely possible that Kelly and Pat Shurmur design an offense that fits Nick Foles' strengths. However, I think that the success of Russell Wilson, RGIII, and Kaepernick are going to be enough to convince Kelly that his offense will work in the NFL and he'll be trying to target a QB with those skills.Disclaimer: The content posted is of my own opinion.
