Private workout for Earl Thomas & Browns

Could Thomas be a possibility with the 7th pick? Or is that reaching too much?

It’s a positive in my book. I have no idea what this guy can do- and I don’t put much stock into what most people say individual talent. What matters is that the team is doing it’s homework and preparing for all of the different scenarios that will arise.

Reading BK’s draft summaries reminds me the teams going in with a stubborn approach do not get maximum value out of the draft. You end up overpaying for the Willie Greens, Jeff Faines, and KW2s when they accept the situation as presented.

This.

The draft is so fluid, you have to be prepared for anything. If not, you end up picking a guy rounds early because you were unprepared.

I think it is possible the Brown’s take Thomas with the 7th. I think it is more possible that a trade down happens, to take him in the 10-15 range, and get another pick out of it. That is what seems to be happening, Holmgrem is stacking up picks.

I also only think that the trade down happens if Berry is gone and Haden doesn’t rebound at Tim Tebow day this Wednesday.

Smokescreen. We trade up with chiefs for berry. I’m calling it right now.

Seriously, this is the second time you’ve made a comment like this. Stop it.

just out of curiosity, are you really a teacher Brad? What do you teach?

I’m a high school math teacher. I teach AP Calculus, Precalculus, and Statistics. I also teach part-time at a community college at night twice a week.

Nice, I was just asked last week to be on an advisory committee for Washington State Community College. They are getting ready to start a GIS Program there. I believe our first meeting with the Dean is this week sometime.

Brad, what do you have against exploding pants? An unfortunate teaching incident?

an unfortunate nuclear-pants meltdown.

That would’ve been an awkward classroom…

What would Freud say about fear of exploding pants?

…Probably exactly what you’d expect when you hear the phrase “male exploding pants”

Probably because it’s disgusting and no one cares what arouses jaws.

You made a similar comment in another thread, only it was more descriptive and more vulgar. We all knew what you meant, and it was inappropriate. Grow up.

did you know that goladymall.com is officially a Browns sponsor? I have made it a task on my to do list to destroy this website now.

If you follow the buying process on the site, it feeds to a Paypal only checkout (big surprise). It lists the Gmail address xiufen999@gmail.com for the fund transfer, to an operation in China.

Be a shame if something happened to that address, huh?
