I wish. That's the 2009 BMW 7-Series Alpina B7. Twin turbo V12 rated at over 500 hp. Heated and air-conditioned seats, front and rear iDrive, etc. All the bells and whistles. Pricing starts at $109,000.

I drive a 2004 BMW X3 2.5i SAV

Nicee..I still love those M5's but the new ones are whack! they put restrictions on them..03-05 are the best..I just sold mine and got an Escalade Hybrid..it's actually better on gas than my old M5 lol.

I stand by my previous statement that we'll draft a hybrid returner/WR in the mold of a Dante Hall to handle return duties and take some pressure off of Felix to handle the ball 12,000 times per game. (later rounds)

I would rather see Felix Jones get worn out from touches before I start drafting people to keep that from happening.

He's not a china doll. Play him. Use him. Let his performance dictate how much to scale up or down his workload.

Sign me up for Knox.

I like Knox also. But Austin is a similar player and he's hitting his developmental stride.

The player I would pick would be Mike Wallace late. If you want rare speed over the top, he's got it.

What this team is missing just as much as speed is a WR who can get open consistently. I can Williams, Austin and Crayton getting shut down by a team with a talented group of CBs. A WR like Brian Robiskie would be a great addition.

Johnny Knox looks like he has deceptive speed. You don't know how fast he's going until he's right on you, then it's to late.

Johnny Knox is alright, but people are drooling over him a little too much. If he's there in the 6th then ya why not, but this guy has develpment written all over him, which is fine but we have enough of those.

Guys like Mike Wallace and Brian Robiskie can come in here right away and knock off Crayton for that third spot.

Why not get Mike Wallace and Johnny Knox? Can never get enough speedy guys.

I would say Wallace has the advantage for the simple fact he goes up against SEC corners..I'm not saying he will be better than Knox because of that but it sure breaks the tie.

well I was speaking of the fact that he needs work on running routes

facing better comp probably does give him an advantage, but reason Wallace isn't a 1st-2nd round guy is because he's so raw

Can I apply for a man card? Here's my whip. Hopefully it's manly enough.

Oh no doubt. I just think we need a capable asset to share the load and possibly even handle it if he gets a case of the footsies again this year.

What do potent mean?

Seriously, I agree. We need a WR in the small, shifty, speedy variety.

Granted he has tremendous injury concerns but Stanback is all of the above except small. I have faith in Stewart to coach him as he has shown he can with Crayton, Austin and Hurd.

Concurrence. He really helped himself in the Senior Bowl and the Combine. I like that guy but he won't stay on the board for too long & I am not a fan of taking a WR early.

IMO our priority should be to upgrade the speed and quickness on the defensive side of the ball, rather than worry about drafting a speedy WR. I do agree, though, that it would be nice to get a burner at WR.

Man Card Approved.

I was considering getting one but I've convinced myself to wait for the 2010 Camaro.

I'm a family man that loves sports cars so the Charger was the perfect "make the wife happy/feed my thirst" compromise. That said, The Camaro and Challenger won't work for me. I have to have those 4 doors. I've actually been looking at the Pontiac G8 GXP but probably won't act on my urge til 2010. It's another monster with 4 doors. :)
