Why should you think it is a stunt?

 

Chip Kelly worked out Tebow and must have seen something that he likes. Tebow will be competing for the third QB spot. I can think of worse players to have as your third QB than Tim Tebow.

 

And I don't believe that there will be any fan outcry in Philadelphia for Tebow to play.

 

It costs the Eagles virtually nothing to do this. Why not see how it plays out? Was Bill Belichick crazy to have Tebow on the Patriots' training camp roster last year?

Giving away 2 picks to move up just two spots to take a running back seems monumentally stupid.

 

Anyway, thanks to the Indianapolis Colts for taking a wide receiver (guess they're planning to play a lot of 4/5 WR packages?) instead of shoring up their run defense, allowing the Patriots to scoop up DT Malcolm Brown. Much appreciated.

 

Also wondering what the Lions are going to do with all those guards they picked up, they already had Larry Warford.

 

Otherwise the draft was pretty anticlimatic, all that hype about where the QBs would go and then it's just 1-2 with no trade.

At least the draft was pretty tame so far. There is nothing to prevent teams from making trades of players already drafted. However, now that the first round is over, they can't trade first round picks in this year's draft. They can trade the players who were drafted with those picks, however.

LOLLLLLLLLLLLL THIS.

 

 

LOL STL using pick #10 on a RB

 

LOL CHARGERS MORE trading up to take a running back at 15.

 

LOL running backs.

Most people outside the game do not understand the critical aspect of running backs is not how well they run the ball (unless Sayers, Brown, etc.) but how adept they are at picking up the blitz and protecting the quarterback - which is why Kelly signed DeMarco Murray, who is one of the best at that skill.

Steelers think they know how to slow Rob Gronkowski down

Posted by Josh Alper on September 7, 2015, 3:56 PM EDT

 

When Patriots tight end Rob Gronkowski has been healthy during his career, attempts to stop him by opposing defenses have generally ranged from futile to laughable.

 

The Steelers are hoping to change that on Thursday night when they open their season against the Patriots in New England and they feel like they have the right plan to make it happen. While their opponents would almost certainly keep such plans to themselves, the Steelers aren’t being shy about sharing that plan days ahead of kickoff.

 

Safety Mike Mitchell says that Gronkowski is successful “when people don’t put their hands on him” and linebacker Ryan Shazier said that the Steelers don’t plan on giving him that kind of welcome to the 2015 season.

 

“You just have to jam him up a little bit, mess with his timing,” Shazier said, via ESPN.com. “If you mess up their timing, they are really time-oriented. You have to mess up their timing and get in his face with pressure, then I feel we can slow him down a little bit.”
