A J goes to Cincy in 5th round

Re: A J -When & where do you think he will go?

McShay just listed McCarron as one of his 3 steals in the draft. He suspects the Texans will take him in round 4.

Re: A J -When & where do you think he will go?

I didn't realize the Senior Bowl was that important. The Falcons could be a good spot for AJ. Matt Ryan doesn't have a proven backup.

he'll be drafted. I personally saw him as a 3rd-4th round pick..i'd only be shocked if he fell to the 5th round. at this point, if he goes to a contender it still would be a great opportunity for him to sit and learn

the Falcons definitely need some kind of backup

I'm actually now starting to hope he goes there now.

I think this will happen if he's still available. The Texans 4th is pretty late in the round.

Re: A J -When & where do you think he will go?

AJ liked the attention reporters were giving him, he was happy to accommodate them with quotes that would make a good headline...

But they weren't there to do him any favors. I would bet AJ was warned by the staff to watch what he said leading up to the draft, that seems like it would be standard advice for any player. But AJ's independent streak kept him talking. His speculation that he might go in the first round comes to mind.

I'm encouraged others point out he may can do better trying out for a team after the draft ends, that might work out for the best for him. I heard on the radio the other day Kenny Stabler rode the bench his first five years into the pros. I think AJ might blossom under that kind of low pressure development. Good luck to him.

Re: A J -When & where do you think he will go?

Adam Schefter just dropped a dime on AJ. Noted that talk around the league was the rubbed scouts the wrong way and didn't like the way he talked about others.

But he sooooo right about those younger players on his team last year.

Depending on Locker's health, he might get some PT with the Titans as well.

Wouldn't think so. He didn't work out for them; called out sick.

Really no reason to doubt Schefty on that point, I think. And to think he could have gone late 1st or early 2nd.

Stabler and Blanda sat on the bench and smoked cigarettes while watching Daryl Lamonica. They put out their smokes before they went in the game, though

I think we all saw a glimpse of that during that situation between he and Barrett at the end of the ND game. Still not sure how that situation escalated like it did when the NC was so well in hand. When you put the pieces together it looks like it was AJ's ego. Haven't heard any bad talk about Barrett or his attitude at all.

Agent or family. Somebody gave him bad advice.
Vinnie should have listed to Coach Saban's advice.

Sal's still mad at Nick, so he took it out on Vinnie.

I've heard and read this but missed exactly what Sal was mad about. What was it?

The Mad Bomber was a fun guy to watch play. Even if he was a Golden Domer.

My recollection was that it was understood that should Kirby leave, Sal would not become DC.

Scouts from every NFL team are there, as well as all (or almost all) of the NFL coaches. They get to see these guys up close and personal, practicing real time. Ask Joe Flacco how important the SB was to him.
