Because this is my first post I can't post the link but you can go to espn's website and then espn radio to listen to the audio.

Welcome to the board!

Well... Posting to the board at least.

I will admit I would like to see what PM could do with FD, Moss, and especially Hankerson.

because he probably wouldnt be there. if we get manning and then browns trade with rams then the draft would probably look like this.

1.Colts-Luck
2.Browns-RG3
3.Vikings-Kahil
4.Rams-Blackmon
5.Bucs-Clairborne
6.Skins-???????

what if the rams stay at 2? Then they take kahil but Your probably right JB will be gone at 6.. Honestly I see Tannehill at 6

if they did stay at #2 then maybe he could be there, just dont see them not trading the pick.

Richardson might sneak in there and bump Blackmon down to us.

if the browns and rams swapped picks, which team would take richardson that picks ahead of us. maybe if another team trade up.

I see us trading down if we get Manning taking Stephen Hill and Mike Adams

Richardson is a better back than anyone on the Browns or Bucs. And Steven Jackson is not getting younger. So any of those three teams might take Richardson.

well if the browns dont trade up and say the dolphins do. then i could see the browns maybe taking richardson. but dont see rams taking richardson at #2 or #4 if they do trade with browns, and the Bucs have bigger needs than RB IMO.

Jets have a loose cannon as a coach, if people dont think manning and the shanahans cant coexist, how could rex ryan and manning. the seattle team we beat this year, they have less offensive weapons than we do IMO. yes they have lynch but not much else.

Add the Chiefs to the list. I just don't see him wanting to play his brother twice a year with all the other options he has to choose from. Forget everything else. The O line and weapons talk is stupid. If he did decide to come here, we'd be the top option for just about every free agent WR out there and one top flight WR is all he would need. The O line is going to be improved no matter what. Just can't see him wanting to play in the NFC East.

And the money situation will work itself out. Teams would find a way to structure a deal and/or he'd take a pay cut. He's not chasing money at this stage of his career.
