Just wanted to put this out here so it doesn't get lost..

He actually said two really's....lol

Then the other guy on the insiders said he's hearing in the league that Mitchell could be the "steal of this free agency period", breakout player.

4.75 forty at 296 lbs..

Super quick and active who was stuck playing the nose tackle position last year, free that brother up with Starks and let them attack the line of scrimmage ala Geno Atkins.

Good vibes thus far...

And did you hear, we're getting a better version of our stadium..seats will be moved closer, seats will be painted..few rows added to the sideline.

Fun.

I like Mitchell, but Polian's endorsement does nothing for me. The game left him a long time before the Colts left him, and he's even worse in his current role.

If we can get Patterson back our D is set except for middle linebacker..

At this point, just guessin here, I Think Zack Martin, CJ Mosley or Ryan Shazier at#19 are in play.

You know some guys can recognize individual talent but be crappy GMs.

On the draft Quentin Rollins bandwagon.

I think if Mosley fell to us, they'd go for him. Not sure they'd pick what essentially would be a guard at 19, that would be a need pick all the way through, and Hickey has said he prefers to go with BPA. I think one of the top TE's may also be a possibility or maybe even Brandin Cooks, considering they really liked Tavon Austin last year.

Man, how great would it be if DJ really steps up and becomes a dominant pass rusher? Our D would be sick. Wake needs someone else to get good pressure and free him up from double teams and RB chips, etc. A guy with his potential and physical attributes, could really be something special for this D. It's still a big IF, but that could take the D to another level, but i guess, at this point, we'll just have to hope.

Is Mitchell going to be playing 1-technique or 3-technique or both? That's one thing I'm confused by.

Polian loves Mitchell. Had him ranked number 6 on his list of free agents. Not sure how much that means, but it's good to hear I guess.

One of the main reasons why Mitchell signed here is because of where he is going to play, which is the 3 in the 43.. He was adamant that this position is where his skillset will explode..he wasn't happy playing nose I can tell ya that..

Also didn't play defense til his junior year in college.

I hear what Pate is saying, but for events like free agency, Polian is not he kind of guy who will spit out info unless it has been checked and double checked..I'm confident he did extensive film work.

This kid is all business, you can tell what kind of player we want..it's all about the passion and willingness to work at their craft, both Albert and Mitchell are in tremendous shape right now..they both have strong work ethic and our lean players, that's plus plus imo..

Here's what I'm thinking, jared Odrick, you better step up your workouts and your game if your gonna beat this kid out..

If you can't beat this kid out, myself personally I would shop him, I don't need a former first round pick in a rotation, I can find depth, but if I can get a high pick I might think hard about that.

Thanks, I just caught that vibe in his interview.

I don't see Patterson coming back to Miami but it would be nice. I just think he would be too expensive. They saved $5M off of him so we'll see.

Even if he were serious, we deserve it.

With so many injuries, I think the best he can hope for is a one year prove me deal.

Wasn't aware of injury history of Mosley; elbow, hip and shoulder.

Seems like a high pick for a guard in Martin, but I would be hopeful that he can play guard for 2-3 years, play LT if Albert gets hurt, and take over at LT when Albert leaves. Not very sexy.

Have you seen our schedule? Im not sure I believe with any upgrades we make this offseason that were going to win more than 8-9 games max... Do you think otherwise??

Home: Buffalo Bills, New England Patriots, New York Jets, Kansas City Chiefs, San Diego Chargers, Green Bay Packers, Minnesota Vikings, Baltimore Ravens

Away: Buffalo Bills, New England Patriots, New York Jets, Denver Broncos, Oakland Raiders, Chicago Bears, Detroit Lions, Jacksonville Jaguars

I see use splitting evenly within division so 3 loses there, Losing to Denver, GreenBay, Chargers, KC, and Chicago (8 Loses)
Winning: 3 division games so 3 wins there, beating Minnesota, Jacksonville, Oakland, Ravens, Detroit (8 Wins)

So again next year were sitting outside the playoffs with a mid teens draft point... Again *****ing next offseason... I know things can change but this is how i see it right now..
