We all would have.

Morgan's Magic Snowplow said:I'm personally in favor of some kind of backup/depth draft that lasts a few rounds but I'd only want to do it if there's broad support. Once everything calms down with the Marathon bombing and investigation (ie, next week), I'll start a new thread for discussion. I think that everybody should have a chance to weight in on whether they want to do this and, if so, how it should happen.

I'll gladly add that to my defense as a nickel DB, with the possibility to take over for DeAngelo Hall as a starter opposite Patrick Peterson should he impress us....is one of the more physical cornerbacks in the country, and looked absolutely dominant at times during his senior year. His willingness to press, compete for balls downfield, and support the run –- as well as fair size, overall athleticism, and potential return ability will make him a highly sought-after player.
Having a definition before polling seems reasonable. I'll start a discussion thread later today, leave that up for a few days, and then do a poll after people have exchanged views for a while.bsj said:Can we agree on definition of broad support before the poll starts?
To clarify...i could see a scenario where 60% of folks approve this...but in my mind, given the
statements above, that does not represent an "overwhelming majority". But to others it may.
I was going to say the same thing. Two-thirds sounds about right.mascho said:Two-thirds majority approval? That is what is required in the NFL for rule changes. Would require 22 owners to vote in favor.

soxfan121 said:Who's up and when? I realize it'll be a few days as most of us need sleep and to watch the Sox and B's tomorrow and process emotions. No rush. I miss this distraction and all of you.
SMU_Sox said:If it's all the same I think we can take a weekend off. No need to skip anyone. Let's regroup Mondsy.
I think this is a good plan. Danoome will get a sixDaughtersofDougMirabelli said:
Yeah agreed. Start the clock back up Monday morning, and we'll be back on our way next week.
Dollar said:Minor chart related issue, but my WR's name should be spelled Malcom Floyd. The link now goes to some mid-1990s receiver. Floyd may be old, but he's not that old.
Also Jerrell Freeman should have two R's in his first name.

soxfan121 said:DanoooME was sent a PM last night and went on the clock at 8 AM, so yes...we're at the point where skipping might happen. If El Cab wants, El Cab is on the clock.
