Patriot's round one pick was a wide receiver, next two rounds defensive players, then a running back and offensive linesmen. Plus a QB in round four. Then more defense players.6

Strangely no TE. Either they intend to get one elsewhere or to change the offense to fit their personnel.

They'll sign some random undrafted free agent or someone from another team's practice squad and turn him into a star.

They signed Andrew Beck from Texas. I look forward to him going from mediocre college TE to four time Pro Bowler.

I think it's now official - the Giants are the worst-run organization in the NFL.

You are, of course, thinking Cleveland is not part of the NFL?

Or Washington.

What makes Washington suck is that the organization is toxic and dysfunctional and always goes somewhere between 5-11 and 10-6. Never bad enough to really tank and get top draft picks so they just kind of float in limbo forever. The Giants seem to be tanking correctly.

Yokel Bengals fans would disagree with you guys.  According to them, not taking Haskins is proof that this terrible organization has no interest in competing for a Super Bowl and makes them the worst-run professional sports team in history.

They're canceling their (non-existent) season tickets as we speak and won't watch another Bengals game or buy any Bengals apparel until Mike Brown is no longer owner of this team :lol:

This fanbase has gotten so weirdly unsupportive of this team, that I could easily see the Bengals moving to San Antonio or somewhere else in 2024 once their stadium commitment is over.  Then the fans will be whining on a Baltimore level about having their team taken away from them.

Lions fans were like this during the Millen era; going so far as to have the Lion's fans show up in orange during a game against the Bengals at Ford Field.
In Italy, for thirty years under the Borgias, they had warfare, terror, murder and bloodshed, but they produced Michelangelo, Leonardo da Vinci and the Renaissance. In Switzerland, they had brotherly love, they had five hundred years of democracy and peace—and what did that produce? The cuckoo clock

It's called having a conversation cabeza luminoso.  :glare:

I find the foreign player stories much cooler when they're just grabbed out of he jungle.  The sports prep factories are so mechanical.

I think the Bengals got their German dude that way, or at least the Vikings did when they drafted him.  So this will probably send a Chris Matthews-esque thrill up your leg:

I'm not a big NFL jersey guy, but I want to get his jersey just for the umlaut.

As long as it's not a Rathers-esque pummeling, a la "Kenneth, what's the frequency?" :D
