Ditto. My anti-malware bitches about one of the sites ads ... but that one only pops up every few days or so.

Nope, just slows down to the point I can't scroll or click on anything. Works fine on Firefox...maybe I don't have newest update of Chrome.

Huge sports weekend and I could care less about so much of it. Not watching boxing. The NFL draft is a snorefest. And I haven't watched one second of NHL all season. At least I have NBA playoffs and a chance for Chelsea to wrap up the EPL on Sunday.

are you guys happy about this Shaq dude? Seems like the last thing we needed was another 1st round linebacker, but what do I know.

my mind is blown, we dont need no LB

Awesome pick. Can play either safety or OLB, and Thomas Davis at 32, and 3 ACL surgeries can't play at a high level on those miracle knees forever. Can address OT and WR in the 2nd and 3rd round.

Panthers got screwed with Collins being apart of a murder investigation. I really think they were going OT, but Humphries got picked right before us.

With how much nickel we play, I think Shaq can play a lot on early run downs as that hybrid safety/LB early in his career and transition into Davis' spot.

Helps our special teams tremendously as well. Thank God we don't have to see AJ Klein anymore

If no one has selected Collins by the time we pick twice in 5th round you have to take a chance and pick him up.

Thomas Davis is 33. Shaq Thompson is his heir apparent and should be an instant starter either at SS or OLB opposite of Davis this year.

Many people were critical of the Luke Kuechly pick when we drafted him because Beason was still considered one of the best in the league.

All the other guys we would have drafted at 25 (Erik Flowers, Gurley, Monroe, and ect) were already off the board, so we went BPA and drafted a guy we had reportedly had a ton of interest in.

If I had to take a guess, I say this guy ends up being another impact player on defense for us right out of the gates.

Had a total wtf moment when they drafted him, but I'm a big BPA believer and trust GMan so I can roll with it. I had never heard of Shaq Thompson before last night.

Also, apparently he can only adapt to so many situations...

I find it a terrible pick. I do not like Gettleman and this helps that none. We took a second round talent in the first round at a position we are already set.

How can you flat out not like him at this point, at least when it comes to the draft?

Gettleman has been incredible at drafting thus far, Ill give him that.
