Hoping Toon might be there at 3 when we pick in the fourth. He's got size and pedigree.

What he meant was that Ray's tag number is manageable for this year and next. It's 7ish now and 9ish for 2013. 16 to 17 million for two seasons of Ray Rice's prime is probably something Biscotti is willing to swallow.
After that though he'd be a back about to turn 28 who I'm sure will have been ridden hard and put away wet for 4 straight seasons at which point we would be unlikely to want to give him a long term deal.
That assumes A. We can't sign him long term before that, and B. That there isn't a more valuable player coming into free agency who we need to spend the tag on. (CoughFlacooCough)

Re: The 2012 NFL Draft Thread -- LIVE Discussion on Picks, Moves, etc.
I'm an absolute layman when it comes to the draft--I don't really watch college football at all--but just looking at the SI.com positional rankings...
Why is Bobbie Massie still on the board? He's the only guy left at any position that grades out over 3.0 on SI.com's scale.
As others have said, we've got real historical problems drafting receivers, but of what's left, Streeter really intrigues me. 6'5" and 4.37? Even if he doesn't catch the ball well, that seems like a guy that opposing defenses would have to focus on.
Surprised Ronnell Lewis is still there... I'm not at all against drafting both Upshaw and Lewis. Reinforcing strength is occasionally a great idea.
All the remaining centers look pretty much interchangeable to me. I'm a Big 10 guy for what little college ball I watch (Ohio boy by birth), and both Molk or Brewster are serviceable from what I remember.
Not too-too worried about safety. There's 15-20 safeties that grade out in the 2.2-2.5 range by SI's grades, and I suppose one of those would be good enough for now. Particularly if he can return too.
My layman's .02... very happy with what we've done so far. Would have liked to get Hightower, but I like Upshaw too. I think, long-term, that Hightower will one day rue the fact that the Pats got him and the Ravens and Steelers missed.

That's why I think Ray walks and they drafted another back.
Yeah, the boys from the spot that will not be named always bring the knowledge, they tore it up over the years, I'm not much of a draft guy, but love reading their posts.

Givens is a good pick for the Rams. Lots of speed in that dome.
