Giant Fan NJ: Do you think the NY Giants made a mistake of going through the draft for a receiver rather than trading for a veteran?

sn2.gif
Matt Mosley: Greetings from a dreary Lake Highlands, Texas, today. You guys have shown up in full force and I really appreciate it. I'll try to get to a lot of the folks who showed up early. I don't think the Giants were in position to give Boldin the $9 or $10 million per year that he wants. We won't know if it's a mistake until December rolls around. I think the Giants will have to be a different offense this season. But at least you can prepare for it. Last year, the Plaxico thing was such a shock that it sort of jolted them. This year, Coughlin won't let that happen.


Chris Stafford Virginia: Did the 'skins lay down an elaborate smokescreen or did dumb luck allow them to get Orakpo and avoid a QB controversy?

sn2.gif
Matt Mosley: I think the Commanders wanted to be in the Sanchez derby, but they were never extended an invitation. Eric Mangini wanted players -- and he was very familiar with those Jets players. That gave the Jets the inside track. The Commanders loved Sanchez, but they didn't have that second-round choice (because of the Taylor fiasco).


Colin Easton, PA: What on earth is dallas thinking? 12 rookies? since when do NFL teams organize their draft around special teams? Not one player in their armada of choices is going to make an impact. Why would you draft special teams guys, then get a kicker who is going to give you touchbacks every other kick anyway?? PLEASE tell me Jerry and Co. know something we dont.

sn2.gif
Matt Mosley: They sort of drafted like a team that didn't have any holes to fill. And Jerry came out and said the team was doing some "cost-cutting." There's nothing that fires up a fan base that some solid cost-cutting moves. I'm beyond baffled. But some national draft experts think the Cowboys had a fantastic second day. I'm not so sure.



Matt (NY): Has sinorice moss played his last game for the Giants?

sn2.gif
Matt Mosley: Too early to tell, but it wouldn't surprise me at all if he gets cut.


Yatin (LA): While I think Maclin can be a great WR in time, isn't he just too similar to DeSean? Wouldn't the Eagles have been better off taking an over-the-middle threat like Pettigrew?

sn2.gif
Matt Mosley: Yatin: I've been on the Pettigrew bandwagon for months (perhaps years), but I don't have a big problem with the Maclin pick. They saw some unbelievable value at No. 19 so they moved up and took him. Maclin was only there because Al Davis is infatuated with speed, and that bumped Micahel Crabtree and Maclin down. Maclin's the second best receiver in this draft behind Crabtree. I don't care if he has the exact same dimensions as Jackson. If you have two excellent young speedsters, you can find a way to deploy them.


Joe (Phila): Did the Eagles bring in Hobbs for depth, just because they got him cheaply, or because they are really thinking about trading Sheldon? What could they get for him now?

sn2.gif
Matt Mosley: Some team will have an injury at corner and get desperate during training camp. At that point, maybe the Eagles could get a third or fourth-round pick for Brown. But yes, they'll want to get Hobbs on the field. And I think they're very frustrated with Brown's comments. Getting Hobbs for a couple of fifth rounders seemed like a coup to me. But I'm partial to Hobbs because I used to cover his high school team -- years and years ago.


Bryce (Rogers, AR): Matt, who's more likely to get some playing time? Brennan or Daniel?

sn2.gif
Matt Mosley: I think Jim Zorn will let them battle each other. The club's not sold on Todd Collins as the backup. If Brennan's made a ton of progress by training camp next season, you could go with Campbell, Brennan and Daniel...But that looks pretty thin. Maybe you just stick Daniel on the practice squad. That's probably what happens.


Jamie (Philly): the Eagles' pick of Ingram (TE, Florida) in the 5th seems to be a boom or bust pick because of his talent but injury plagued 08 season. Do you think he'll pan out or be a practice squad guy before fizzling out?

sn2.gif
Matt Mosley: I don't think there's such thing as a boom or bust pick in the pick. If you hit on the pick, great. If you don't, who cares? It's a fifth rounder. At one point, the Eagles had six fifth rounders Sunday. That was before they traded for Hobbs.


Danny(Philly): Your telling me the Eagles can't get at least a Second for Sheldon Brown?

sn2.gif
Matt Mosley: If people think Samuel and Hobbs are the starters, why are they going to give up a second for Brown? Nice player, but he's not an elite corner by any stretch of the imagination.


Joe (Phila): follow up to Yatins question: Now they have Maclin, DeSean Jackson, and Kevin Curtis as short little speedsters. those seem like their top 3 WRs right now. why not get Pettigrew and get a tall reciver like Burress who has burned us so many times in the past?

sn2.gif
Matt Mosley: Maclin's a little taller than Jackson. And you have a pretty nice third-down receiver in Avant and a decent red zone target with Hank Baskett. I think the team has confidence in Celek. And the Ingram kid has a ton of upside.


Chris LA: How's Chris Wilson looking at the SAM position and # of sacks for the "RAK"?

sn2.gif
Matt Mosley: I have no clue how Chris Wilson's looking at the SAM, but I'm happy to ask next time I talk to my people. Put Orakpo down for 10 sacks in his rookie year.


Raider Fan (Tucson, AZ): After witnessing the debacle with the Raiders with weekend, I was ready to go postal on any Broncos fan I came across. Now, after hearing Ron Jaworski this morning, I am much more optimistic about the potential of D.H-Bay. Do you see him elevating the Raiders' tired offense this year?

sn2.gif
Matt Mosley: I go on college production. He never had the breakout season at Maryland. Ron Jaworski's one of the most optimistic guys I've ever met.


Brett (Philadelphia): Matt, thanks in advance for the answer in your opinion, who has the best WR corops in the NFC and the NFC east?

sn2.gif
Matt Mosley: In the NFC East:

1. Eagles
2. Giants
3. Commanders
4. Cowboys

best in the NFC:

1. Cardinals
2. Eagles
3. Panthers
4. Packers


Commander Fan, DC: no Commander questions. how about year 2 in the zorn era? do they make the playoffs or is he just warming the seat for cowher/shanahan?

sn2.gif
Matt Mosley: Way too early for a playoff prediction. In this brutal division, the Commanders could be vastly improved -- and still go 8-8. Right now, though, I see them at 9-7 and barely missing the playoffs.


Jeff, Mpls: Do you expect McCoy to see a lot of playing time this year in order to keep some of the wear and tear off Westbrook?

sn2.gif
Matt Mosley: You're not taking guys in the second round to sit around and watch. I think McCoy needs to have about 10 touches per game via run or pass.


Mike, Boston: Matt- Why does the Sports Guy refer to you as Matt Dankley in his NFL picks columns?

sn2.gif
Matt Mosley: No clue. Feel free to ask him.


Samoyed(Frisco, TX): Isn't calling it "cost-cutting" a bit misleading? Jerry said he wanted to "keep ahead of the hounds." Didn't he mean that he wanted to start replenishing the roster with talented young players with potential instead of littering the back end of the roster with career backups who demand exorbitant deals far exceeding their production? Sure, it lacked a certain "wow" factor but there was a definite strategy beyond a "smug" confidence that every hole was already filled. Shouldn't we give them the benefit of doubt on this until proven otherwise?

sn2.gif
Matt Mosley: You're everywhere man! I was told he used the phrase "cost cutting." I was in New York for the draft so I didn't hear it in person. But why would I give Jerry Jones the "benefit of the doubt" when his team hasn't been to the playoffs since the Clinton Administration?



Sanjay (Da Iladel, PA): Who is your favorite player chosen by a Beast team?

sn2.gif
Matt Mosley: I like the Rhett Bomar pick by the Giants. I think the guy can play a little bit.


Mike O., Los Angeles: How is Robert Griffin going to fare in Waco without Jason Smith protecting him?

sn2.gif
Matt Mosley: It's a valid question. Fortunately, Jason "Big Smooth" Smith has remained in Waco and tutored his probable replacement Danny Watkins. I think Watkins is about 6-7, so the only trouble might be throwing over him. But Robert doesn't need much time in the pocket. And by the way, it was great seeing Coach Briles in New York. Sort of looked like a crime-fighting Dennis Weaver in that outfit.


Yatin (LA): So who returns kicks/punts for the Birds? DeSean? Maclin? Hobbs? Mix and match?

sn2.gif
Matt Mosley: Don't forget about Demps back there. I think Hobbs will definitely get his chance, too. I think the Eagles cringe when Jackson's back there on punts, but he is a HUGE threat. Maclin won't see much time back there.


Peter (Alabama): More likely to be cut: Sinorice Moss or Tyree?

sn2.gif
Matt Mosley: I think Tyree's time in NYC has run its course.


M (DC): What Giant's receivers better than Commander's receivers? Santana Moss is vastly better than anyone they have on their roster - just look at their numbers.

sn2.gif
Matt Mosley: I love Santana Moss. But I'm looking at the entire group. Haven't seen anything out of Thomas and Kelly yet. And Randle El is more like a No. 3 at this point in his career. I like Steve Smith quite a bit and Hakeem Nicks is going to be excellent. I also think Domenik Hixon can be a big-play threat when put in the right situations. Manningham's apparently on the way. So no, I'm not changing my mind.


Rafael Septien (Las Cabos): Huge fan Mark. This is the year Romo gets the monkey off his back. Without TO mucking up the waters, he can get the ball to the open man instead of forcing it to TO, only to see him quit on a route or not fight for a ball. Sure, there will be less production from WRs, but Witten already functions as a 2, and the combination of Roy, Stone Hands Crayton and Austin, plus the 3 headed monster at RB, will offset TO. Dallas to 13-3 and the Super Bowl!!

sn2.gif
Matt Mosley: Rafael, it's been too long. The Cowboys are now drafting kickoff specialists in the fifth round. You would've loved this era. I think 13-3 seems a bit optimistic. 10-6 sounds better to me. Not ready to guarantee a playoff win yet.



bob...new jersey [via mobile]: da eagles dont have they second best recievein core in nfc.... u need an drug test my packers are way beta then them.. come on

sn2.gif
Matt Mosley: Jeremy, I thought we had the firewall up to keep Packers fans out of the Beast chat!!


Matt - LA: Good Morning Matt, great name... What can you tell us about the Giants seemingly talking more about Ramses Barden than their other 8 picks combined. As a NYG's fan, I love the pick. Is this guy going to be the steal of the draft in three years? Looks like the Giants thinks so.

sn2.gif
Matt Mosley: Barden is the most mysterious guy in that group. We know Nicks is a good player. Barden's got the unbelievable size, but we don't know that much about him. He'll get talked about quite a bit. But I'm worried about him getting off the line of scrimmage. He's played against inferior competition. Let's see what he does when Aaron Ross or someone jams him at the line in practice. I'll keep my eye on this situation for you.


tom nj [via mobile]: What do you think of Cowboys taking USC K Dave Beuhler? Isnt he more of a novelty?

sn2.gif
Matt Mosley: Buehler? Buehler? Every time I hear the kid's name, I see Matthew Broderick. I think Jerry just got bored in the draft room and needed a good laugh. Buehler would be the kickoff specialist. Someone who could hopefully give you 20 touchbacks a season. It's a luxury draft pick -- and not a smart one. Meanwhile, the Eagles take Cornelius Ingram in the fifth. Great value. Guy might be a starter in a couple of seasons.


Benjamin (Plattsburgh): Any chance Terrell Thomas replaces Aaron Ross in the starting lineup?

sn2.gif
Matt Mosley: I haven't heard anyone from the Giants indicate that, no.


Chris(Cali): How can Dallas have a kickoff specialist and a third QB? Even bigger question, why did they REACH on both???

sn2.gif
Matt Mosley: I wondered the same thing, but personnel experts have assured me that Stephen McGee would've gone off the board in the next five picks or so if the Cowboys hadn't taken him.


Samoyed(Frisco,TX): I take it that you meant "has not won in the playoffs..." rather than "has not been to the playoffs..." Also, the benefit of doubt comes from that fact that in Cisnowski's first draft he found some gems like Scandrick and Choice. There's more continuity in Cisknowski's selections than Jerry's previous playoff record simply because Cisnowski is only in his second year. Just something to consider. Regardless, how about this: Do you think our local boy Daniels will beat out Brennan? Daniels has made a living out of bucking the odds and coming up big when it matters.

sn2.gif
Matt Mosley: I'm pulling for Daniel big time. Great, great college player who didn't wow the scouts for whatever reason. I think he'll be a practice squad candidate in Washington. I had one expert tell me that Daniel should've gone to the CFL.



Rob (Lake Worth, FL): Did you hear Vinny Cerrato saying they worked out Mike Williams the Friday before the draft to help them decide whether or not to take an offensive tackle? Is it possible that Joe Bugel can turn this guy into a dominant right tackle or is Vinny giving us a lame excuse for ignoring the right side of the offensive line?

sn2.gif
Matt Mosley: If you're depending on Mike Williams to start at RT, you're in a world of hurt. This sounds like some sort of favor to Derrick Dockery, another former Longhorn. Williams is up there living with Dockery. I'm sure Dockery wants the guy out of his house! :)


Matt Dallas, tx [via mobile]: Matt do you think our recievers here in big D will put up the numbers this year for us to make a playoff run. I will be listening on GAC today as well.

sn2.gif
Matt Mosley: This will be a different looking offense. At least, it better be. Lot more emphasis on the running game -- and Miles Austin will have a chance to shine as a downfield threat. And everyone should go to their computers immediately and Google 103.3 ESPN Radio. Listen this afternoon at 6 p.m. ET and you'll hear me discussing the winners and losers in the NFC Beast.



Mike (Jax): Apparently the Skins think they're fine at RT with Jansen, Heyer and a 410 lb Mike Williams. I'm not sold, especially with Randy Thomas coming back from injury (again). Thoughts on the Commanders right side of the OL?

sn2.gif
Matt Mosley: They are nowhere close to fine at RT. I'd be looking under rocks for guys right now. In fact, I'd try to trade for Winston Justice and see if he has ANYTHING.


Skins Fan: Cerrato is an abomination. We got Orakpo and a collection of has-beens and never-will-bes. Cerrato has set this franchise back another 10 years with another wasted draft.

sn2.gif
Matt Mosley: Now that's not quite fair. Orakpo was a great pick and the Maryland kid's wiry and quick. I could see him making some plays in the secondary. If I'm not mistaken, the Commanders also got a kid from TCU named Robert Henson. Really nice player. Cerrato deserves some criticism, but he didn't have a lot to work with in this draft (thanks to the Taylor deal!!) And by the way, most of you thought that was a good deal at the time.


Shaun PA: Matt, you the man. What do you think about the skins chance of picking up another big name OL this offseason, since they ignored this hole in the draft?

sn2.gif
Matt Mosley: Aren't a lot of big names walking around. Maybe you see how Jon Runyan's knee heals up. The guy's an absolute warrior -- and the 'Skins love signing former rivals.


Al (Las Vegas): Following up your best WR in the NFC and NFC East Question, who has the best group of Running Backs in your opinion?

sn2.gif
Matt Mosley: Beast's best RBs:

1. Giants
2. Cowboys
3. Eagles
4. Commanders


bob...new jersey [via mobile]: hey matt why would eagles draft macklin in first rd when they could of traded for boldin who is proven...the eagles never like to pay guys.. thx

sn2.gif
Matt Mosley: Bob: I'm rewarding you since you were one of the first guys in line today. But to say the Eagles "never like to pay" guys seems a little curious when they just dropped off about $25 mil guaranteed at Jason Peters' house. You could've traded your No. 28 pick and maybe a third-round pick for Boldin or you can have an elite left tackle and guy who's six or seven years younger than Boldin...And faster than Boldin. And hasn't taken nearly the shots that Boldin's taken. I think I'll stick with the Eagles on this one.


Eric (NY): As soon as Crabtree fell to eight the giants should have made the move up to get him because they had so many picks and we can't have all of them on the team anyway! What would you have done?

sn2.gif
Matt Mosley: To go from No. 29 to No. 8 would've probably meant not landing the LB Sintim, obviously Nicks and maybe even Barden. Are we convinced that Crabtree's that much better than Hakeem Nicks? I know I'm not.


Kraig (Anaheim CA): I know the Broncos did not address a lot of Front Seven needs. However what do you think of their draft? They got the best RB by far in Moreno and a very versatile player in Robert Ayers. I also love the Alphonso Smith pick even though they gave up a 1st next year to get him. They guy had 20+ Career INT, you can not argue with production.

sn2.gif
Matt Mosley: I know they were in love with Smith, but giving up a first-rounder in 2010 seemed a bit rich for me. Robert Ayers was a one-year wonder in college and I wouldn't have taken Moreno that early. Other than that, pretty solid draft!


shaun broadway va: hey matt, what grade would you give the giants draft, and why?

sn2.gif
Matt Mosley: Maybe I'll hand out some grades later. I'm not as sold on Ramses the Great as some of you guys are. Think Nicks will be solid and Sintim's a total Jerry Reese guy. LOVE the Bomar pick. I'd give the draft a solid B +


Clint: (Tyler, Texas): Aren't the two cornerback picks Dallas made solid? And isn't Michael Hamlin good value for a 5th round pick?

sn2.gif
Matt Mosley: I do like Michael Hamlin. Productive player who can probably come in an help you a little bit -- especially on special teams. I have no clue on the Mickens kid. Hearing some good things, but my draft board doesn't go that far down.



Shane Mosley: Are we related? You can work a speed bag, right?

sn2.gif
Matt Mosley: I was an amateur boxer in graduate school


Anthony (nyc): PFT is reporting that Levi Jones is on the trading block or might even be cut. Do u think the Commanders will have interest in him as a RT?

sn2.gif
Matt Mosley: I think they should have an interest in anyone who can stay upright.


Joe MD: mosley, you do a great job keep up the good work. i'm an eagles fan but have a question about the Commanders. what are they doing this offseason? why focus on defense? they gave up 24 or more points only 3 times last year. they have a problem SCORING. Can you tell me why they aren't addressing their weaker side of the ball? It makes no sense...

sn2.gif
Matt Mosley: You guys have been awesome today. I think the Commanders felt like they had to surround Albert Haynesworth with some talent. If you decided to guarantee a guy $41 mil, you better make sure he's successful. They addressed offense last season with the two receivers and the tight end in the second round. You need to start seeing something from those guys this year. Really enjoyed it folks. We finished with more than 350 questions. I'll see ya next Tuesday.

Ummm...what??

is he inferring that the 45 man active roster cant have two kickers and a 3rd qb?

Seriously mosley has become a real D-Bag. He also says we havent made the playoffs since the clinton admin. Now, I know that is a slip up, but that is exactly the type of thing he takes from cowboys coaches or players, those kinds of simple mistakes and then runs with it on espn radio all afternoon.

He really is awful. Another reason to never listen to 103.3

Mosley didn't even know who Mickens was . . . . his draft board doesn't go down that far? Mickens was projected as a 3rd to 4th rounder.

Quite a few of his responses were uninformed.

I was about to post the same thing.

I think he wanted to go with the tired and true, "No playoff wins", but he screwed it up.

And keep in mind, Mosley props up the Skins at every turn. Any questionable to bad decision they make is looked at in the most optimistic way possible.

Oh no, we can't have two active kickers... The Ravens among others only did it. Anyone want to call Harbaugh or Ozzie Newsome a moron for that?

And besides the WR ranking -- hilarious that he's already making Nicks a great player -- we don't have the best backs in the division? Why are the Giants better?

The real telling thing in this chat is where he admits that personnel people he's talked to around the league thought we had a great second day.

Look I wasn't particularly thrilled with the draft myself, but I think it went a hell of alot better then most people are making it out to be.

I also think our RB are heads and shoulders better than anyone else in the east. I mean come on the Giants lost perhaps their best overall RB in free agency. And seriously the WR core we rank dead last?!?! Give me a break

Also Jacobs and Bradshaw are better the Barber, Jones and Choice? Please.....

Wish that would of been the first question and answer. Would of saved me some time. What kind of hack is going to get paid to answer questions and pretends he actually knows some thing but admits he does not?

Get this, guys... Mosley was just on 103.3 talking about our draft picks, and he said he talked to an AFC scouting director -- not hard to guess who it was, is it? -- and he said J. Williams was like their 119th best player, that Brewster was a reach, and that both OLBs were JAGs (his exact term, another tipoff as to who he talked to). This scouting direct supposedly said Bueller was our best pick, and Hamlin was okay. Mosley dismissed Smith, Mickens, and everyone else as if guys that far down weren't worth talking about.

And yes, Galloway asked him about Mickens because some people told him that was a good pick, and Mosley had no idea who he was.

It's just funny.

I'm sorry did I just accidentally ingest 2 hits of acid with my gruel or did he actually say the Eagles have the 2nd best WR core in the NFC?

Mosely proved several times over in this deal that he's completely uniformed, stupid, and quite honestly wants to be another Cowherd where he just says whatever stupid thing he can think of to get people riled up because he's not a good enough journalist to do his job properly.

Yep thats right, havent you heard 1st day drafted wr never ever miss. Ever.

In fact Troy Williamson, carlos rogers, mike williams and matt jones are coming on with galloway and mosley to talk about the succes they have had tearing up the league after being drafted in the first round.

So again, mosley is right, there is no chance the wr taken in the 1st round of this years draft are anything short of Hall of Famers...I mean mosley said so.

gotta go....bryant johnson and josh reed are calling.

If it was Jeff Ireland, their scheme is different from ours, so of course, they are going to like different players. Plus, if it was him, he has no right to walk around bragging.

I just got through addressing Jeff Ireland in another thread. I'm glad he's gone. Someone should tell him to come back and take James Marten (Oh, wait, he's not here anymore), Doug Free, Isaiah Stanback, and Courtney Brown with him.

Mosley can't be taken serious anymore when it comes to analysis. However, this isn't something new. He crowned the Commanders after week 4 last year. He's an ESPN company man. He isn't objective.

The truth about the NFC East is this. The NFC East is going to be won by one of 3 teams. It is up for grabs.

Felix Jones is the best running back in the division, imo. His season got cut way short.

We'll see.

Not knowing who Mike Mickens is a joke. He could have gone in round 2, at least, if healthy.

Mosely is a moron. And that's being generous.

I believe he really believes that Jerry was bored in the draft room and needed a good laugh when he drafted Buehler. And what would we do with Cornelius Ingram? Let him languish away as a 3rd string receiving tight end. Get somebody at TE that can block and play special teams pretty well instead...which Dallas did.

I wasn't in love with the draft either, but Mosely is just illogical about it.

What else is new?

Maybe I'm blind with Eagle venom but to declare their usually subpar wideout corp as top five after draft day seems quite a piece of hubris.

That speedster they drafted seems like he could be good but how does that elevate the likes of Hank Basket to premiere over night? Is that the Kendra effect?

They better hope Reid's penchant for drafting Todd Pinkstons and Freddie Mitchells hasn't continued.

How many college speedsters have we seen flop as pros?

Rae Curruth, granted he's in prison.
Yatil Green.
Rocket Ismail, let's be honest, before he came to Dallas he was considered a flop and a mediocre 8 year veteran.
John Jett.
Mike Williams.
Charles Rodgers.
Michael Westbrook, the Commander wideout and not the Eagle rb.


Just a sampling of first round speedsters the last two decades that did not pan out.
