    If trib falls to us at 6 I'm all for it, but i don't want to reach for kizer or watson. if watson falls into the 2nd i would grab him. I don't want us reaching for the next sanchez at 6. not when someone like fournette could be on the board.

    also apparently hightower failed our physical

    i don't believe that talk of him failing the physical. I think that's some gamesmanship from the Jets.

    Never said he failed it, said they didn't like some of the things they saw on it.

    yeah and they wait until after he declines their offer and signs back to a division rival before they suggest there is something physically wrong.... nothing wrong with a little gamesmanship, just saying

    He missed 3, 4 and 4 games the last 3 seasons, it could be some gamesmanship but don't doubt they might see some things that made them question whether they wanted him or not. I for one am glad they didn't get him, think the offer they made if true was much too high for what they would get.

    It was pointless to have that guy here. If you're going to make that big of an investment in a player, you should have a clear plan on how to use said player. Toilet sucks and doesn't have the faintest idea how to use players. The guy would have immediately gotten lazy in NY (Toilet would have allowed that) and all the fans would be screaming for Toilet and Mac's ouster?

    Honestly, without competent coaching adding whatever the fuck name would be a massive waste of time.

    Its possible but he has had quite a few injuries, and has missed quite a few games. A lot of smokescreens were used throughout the whole process to gain leverage IMO
