The Official 2012 NFL Draft Talk Thread

[shilala]

The Skins are hopeless. Until Dan Snyder strokes out, that team is doomed. He's the epitome of a hands-on owner that has no clue of how to build a ball team, but that really doesn't matter when you're the highest grossing team in the league. (Or are they 2nd now?)
I think this whole draft-guessing thing is more or less suspended until we see what Peyton does. He's likely to wrap up a team in the next week or so. Even though he went to see Elway, I can't see him playing there. Heck is, they definately have the parts, and if Peyton and Reggie Wayne show up, Denver is a threat. Maybe not a deep playoff threat, but by the end of next season I think Peyton can have them ready for a deep run with a minimum of shoring up player-wise. Elway is a winner and Peyton has to have huge respect for that, even though it's a cold-weather team and his numbers are hideous in the cold. All in all, Denver doesn't make sense.
Miami wants him in the worst kind of way, but AZ is a very valid option, too.
Who do you think is more poised to go to the show with Peyton and Wayne, AZ or Miami? I'd go with Miami. I've contended they're a QB away for the last 3 years, although AZ would do whatever it takes.
Which offense is more suited to Manning/Wayne?
(I'm pressing the Manning/Wayne issue because it's widely held that wherever Peyton goes, he's taking Reggie. So let's go with that scenario for now till we see what shakes out.)
I'd love to see Peyton in Miami, by the way. I think Flynn makes them a threat for years, but they want to sell tickets now because they're bleeding from the throat.

If you're asking which team is more likely to go to the playoffs with Manning (assuming he's anywhere near the Manning of old of course) & Wayne, that's easy. Arizona. The Cardinals are much more likely to win the NFC West than the Dolphins are the AFC East.

I kind of agree.
Do you think Whisenhunt would give Manning the leash he needs? I think it'd be a struggle for him to do it. To go from tight end coach to offensive coordinator to head coach to letting Peyton have full control of the offense, that's a stretch.
On the other hand, I think Philben would be relieved.
