    LeGarrette Blount is going to the Pats for Jeff Demps and a 7th rd pick.

    Nice pickup for the Patriots, but ****, do they even have room to play Blount? Demps is a decent prospect I feel.

    Tebow probably won't play in the NFL again.

    Of course, ESPN has gone into 24-hour-Tebow-mode.

    I'm not a Tebow fan but I think he deserves a chance to play in the league based on his talent and work ethic but wont get it because of the baggage he's accumulated, baggage he didn't even create. Sucks. There are less talented guys in the league including QB's.

    I think he could play in the league as a TE / H-back. His ridiculously bad accuracy as a QB is tough to overcome in a precision passing league.

    Exactly. I don't think he can play tight end but he at least deserves a shot to play somewhere, even on special teams, but that baggage pushes his stock down to a point where teams might not consider him. He deserves just as much of a shot to make it somewhere as someone like Michael Robinson. I still think he gets picked up to play QB here in a few weeks.

    Jacksonville should pick him up to sell some extra tickets while they tank.

    He is also at fault though because when the Jets were shopping him around and team inquired he told his agent he would not play a different position other than QB.

    Seriously, Tebow is low risk, high reward. OK, low risk, slightly less low reward, but still.

    I think the QB class this year sucked. I dont see a star in Barkley, Geno, Manuel, Nassib, Landry Jones, Tyler Wilson, Mike Glennon but I think one of them could be a decent, Schaub, Romo type guy.

    My money might be on EJ Manuel but they really need to get him a better line. Smith is perplexing, I see him being flashy at times but overall too inconsistent.

    Best QB might end up being someone out of nowhere like Tyler Bray

    Our line is one of the strengths of our team, even though it I think it was due to the quick passing plays with Fitz because he has no arm. We definitely need a left guard since we didn't take one in the draft and didn't overpay Levitre. Nix obviously focused on getting receivers for him this draft and undrafted free agency. I am not too high on Manuel (or any of the other quarterbacks), so I think he needs talent around him like Alex Smith needs talent around him.

    Manuel wasn't that good in college, don't see him being much better in the NFL. Calling it now - Manuel sucks.

    49ers sign 2012 Olympian

    ESPN

    He has no football background. He did play rugby as a teenager, though.

    Okoye took part in the Super Regional Combine at Jerry World.
