Cushing and steroids
Here’s the deal: virtually every player in the NFL is on roids or HGH or both. It’s a fact… the only thing with Cushing is that it’s virtually out in the open.

Ahhhhh
We knew we needed help on D. We knew that Diles and Adibi aren’t ever going to be more than serviceable. We knew that they wanted to trade, and therefore must not have gotten enough in the offers they had.
Almost makes me like the pick.
And beer count = 7.

lol, i'm having a change of heart
i understand the pick. I really do, and the funny thing is, I KNOW he’s going to be good. let’s let it go. He was a SUPER productive guy in college, he was a Pete Carroll staple, and USC linebackers HARDLY bust. U know what, I just got a call from my naive young brother and he was screaming going, “YES WE GOT CUSHING!!!” lol, he watches a lot of college football…I’m on board: GO CUSHING!!! keep the hair big boy!

This is why I hate...
“Manufactured athlete who should test well but isn’t that impressive on film and often looks like a defensive end in a linebacker’s body…Is overrated as a pro prospect but has the talent to start at the next level if he can somehow find a way to stay healthy. "

Yeah, but what about...
“Ideal size and bulk…Good athleticism…Adequate speed…Extremely versatile…Reliable tackler…Excellent strength…Tough…Intense and very competitive…Decent pass rusher with a burst to close…Changes directions well…Good range…Able to shed blocks and work through traffic..Good special teamer…Smart…Hard worker…May have upside.”
Sounds like everything you could want.
The steroids thing only bothers me because of the suspensions involved with getting caught. I give the pick a B-.

Matthews was available and Cushing is kinda banged up. I don’t mind the pick nemore, let’s just jump on board. We really needed help on the edges.

One last thought
I think I’ve “known” for a while we were going to take a USC LB. It’s was a matter of which one. None of them excite me, and that’s kind of led to a general malaise for the draft this year.
Any of these guys will be an upgrade, but I don’t know how much of a ceiling Cushing or CM3 really have. Plus, we already had a guy who couldn’t cover TEs in Diles. I dunno.
by bigfatdrunk on Apr 25, 2009 5:11 PM CDT reply actions 0 recs
Malaise is the right word. Underwhelming is another good one.
Second round is what I’m waiting for now. I have high hopes for that.
by socctty on Apr 25, 2009 5:12 PM CDT up reply actions 0 recs
I justify it to myself like this...
Cushing is basically CM3 w/out the fun story and the neato family line. I was ok with CM3.
Cushing is CM3 w/ a gay hair cut.
I’m ok with this.

i like u
bigfatdrunk, u were the only one who shared the enthusiasm for Orakpo, and the disgust when the Redfucks took him at 2 picks ahead of us. But hey, at the very least, we know what we’re getting w/ Cushing. He’s well coached, he’s big and strong, and he works hard. He won’t get confused and star struck at the NFL level. Let’s give him at least a shot before we slam him down.

One says that Cushing has “no true position”. Another says that he’s “versatile”. Heh

Eh.
Is that the worst? Would it be so bad to have a LB corp made up of players we can move around? Imagine LBs in flux… DeMeco shifting out a bit, Cushing to the inside… I mean I’ll take flexibility any day of the week.
by DisplacedTexan on Apr 25, 2009 5:25 PM CDT up reply actions 0 recs
Oh, I'm not banging on Cushing
I am just saying that there are two sides to these scouting reports. One “scout” sees something as a positive (“versatile”), another says he has no true position.

why didn't we trade w/ the cowboys?
they don’t have a 1st round selection, we should’ve traded w/ them so they can select Pat White. and we better pick Dwight Howard in the 2nd round.

wouldn’t u trade this 1st rounder for Chad Johnson, Braylon Edwards or Anquain Boldin? I mean ur gonna take a receiver newayz? I don’t get it. Nicks is cool, but come on, Boldin, Ocho, and Edwards??? the Patriots should trade half of their picks and get Boldin just to piss people off.
by wiseonekms on Apr 25, 2009 6:12 PM CDT reply actions 0 recs
???
Johnson is old and is a headache. Edwards drops too many balls and the Browns were asking too much anyway. Plus you’d need to sign him to a new deal. Boldin is going to cost you $10 million a year and may – MAY – have looked a little too good with Larry Fitz on the opposite side.
by socctty on Apr 25, 2009 6:14 PM CDT up reply actions 0 recs
still
none of those are reasons to miss out on probowl receivers that could lift ur team deep into the playoffs when we’re talking about waiting 3 yrs to see dividends on receivers newayz. (think about James Hardy, Devin Thomas, and Limas Sweed last year) as much as u hate Johnson, he’s still good, same w/ Edwards and Boldin.
by wiseonekms on Apr 25, 2009 6:23 PM CDT up reply actions 0 recs
Bengals couldn't get a three this year for Johnson
Johnson is about to turn 30. He’s no longer a Pro Bowl receiver. Edwards gets hurt and catches a lower percentage of balls than TO with a messed up finger. Boldin is the only one I think they should have gone after, and he’s not quite what they were looking for.

I know they are inside guys but I don’t think that is a hard and fast rule with linebackers. See: DeMeco Ryans (although he went from outside to inside). Rey would be a good fit at the strongside I think. Laurinitis at weakside? He’s 244…

Posted this earlier in response to someone bashing the Aaron Maybin pick but now that we have Barwin
http://thegoodbyeladiesdraftreport.blogspot.com/2009/04/updated-2009-nfl-draft-defensive-end3-4.html
“The model projects Connor Barwin to be the best pass rusher in this draft. His projection is the strongest of any second round pick since 2001, with the exception of Aaron Schobel, who projected to have 49.99 sacks and who in fact had 67 sacks by his seventh year. Barwin has the ninth highest projection of any player in the data set, just edging out Terrell Suggs’. As an added bonus, Barwin is apparently also strong against the run. Connor Barwin was not originally included because ProFootballWeekly projected him as a third round pick. However, Gosselin has put him squarely in the second round, which seems to be more in line with the consensus on Barwin.”
Not that this is any kind of an authoritative source, but it’s a good sign.

Yeah, but the amount of playing time he’s had at a pash-rush position is small even compared to the other players. But you’re right, its impossible to get a good sample – if these guys are really good then they just go pro instead of sticking around long enough to get a good sample size.

Mayock has been ALL OVER this guy
on NFL network prior to the draft.

Yeah, he was flipping out over him

Could be the Owen Daniels or Steve Slaton
of this draft. Or, better yet, the DeMeco Ryans.

I just don't understand where he actually plays

I'm sure
Smithiak has him projected as a situational pass rusher type at the beginning of his career. The CUshing pick gives it away. Cushing is our SLB, and Barwin is like our DE pass rush rotation guy.

wow, the Raiders REALLY don't want us to take them seriously do they?

Let's take a moment to be thankful
that we do not live in the Bay Area and root for the Raiders.

Can you imagine
passing up on Crabtree AND Maclin when you’re targeting a WR?

I wish...
they played more of Mel Kiper telling us he’ll see us at Mike Williams’ Hall of Fame introduction.

Unger would have been a nice pick, but Barwin looks like a guy who can wear
a few different hats

This reminds me a lot of the ingame threads
This is a blast. It’s great to talk smack with some of the guys from last season as well as the new folks.
Man, that one beer is really getting to me. I love you all, man.

If we go DE or hybrid with the next pick I will be extremely surprised
if it’s D, should be a safety or CB.

Personally
I’m hoping for an RB.

I think it will be RB or S.

I really thought he was a second round lock months ago
But as of a couple of weeks ago, I thought he’d slide to the third.

Damn, I thought it was 3 rounds today and 4 tomorrow.

I think they passsed
but get to pick any time they want to at this point. They can still trade rights to it, I think. Someone fucked up the logistics.

Australia
In late 2006 I went to Australia for work. There was this bar called the “bimbo bar” that we went to. This insanely hot and drunk chick came up to me and started molesting me, basically. I was pretty tempted… but then I realized she had a black eye from a fight. I told her to go away. She ended up breaking a heel and falling on the floor, dropping her wine glass.
The Raiders remind me of that girl.
