Report on NFL.com today that the Colts are seriously considering drafting RG3 instead of Luck.
they asked him to work out for them earlier, he flat out declined. rofl.

As a bills fan, it's hard to get excited about the draft. I really hope we get some more options in the offence, where we looked so limited in the second half of last season. It didn't take the opposition long to work out where it was going! Seems like we're prob keeping faith with our Harvard QB but I'm not convinced beefing up the OL will make much of a difference.
Any views on this?

With Mario Williams alongside Dareus upfront then the D looks in good shape, as it needs to be going against Brady twice a year
Fred Jackson provides the running game, and what they really need is either
a) a real difference maker at receiver to keep defenses honest, allowing Jackson not to have to rush against 8 man fronts
if that can't be got
b) more quality on the OL to keep the running game good and them in contention in games
Candidate in the draft for option a) is
or
for option b) Riley Reiff and Cordy Glenn, David DeCastro, Jonathan Martin

We made a number of good picks last year in both the draft and free agency and found ourselves doing comically well against some highly astute offences (winning at Gillette a particular highlight!). But like you say it's about offering an alternative and we looked weak out wide last year.
The AL East is a pretty unforgiving place!

Only from my teams point of view
The NFC east has it mighty tough this year. Not only is it always a division that's tough but RG3 is coming into it and the rotation of other divisions on the schedule gives them NFC South and AFC North
So, an NFC East team like Dallas has to knock off enough games against Giants/Eagles and Skins and then beat enough of the Ravens, Steelers, Bengals, Panthers, Saints etc to win a wild card if they can't win the division
very tough given Bengals and Panthers are on upswings

Yes, and as usual hardly any firm has moved a price. Check out Denver's first half season, Manning is going to have some work beating all those play off contenders, with Oakland being their only game in that stretch against a team that might be billed as easier.

My initial thoughts are the easiest schedules belong to
NFC North they get the 49ers division and the Texans division
Whilst you would expect the 49ers to be very strong, and the Texans, in those two division you also have games against teams who are not ready to compete yet. Seattle, Arizona, Colts, Jags etc
The Vikes aren't ready either.
Unfortunately all of the Packers, Lions and Bears should be very competitive
but if you say one will win the division and one stands a better chance on the way the schedule looks alone of getting one of the Conference wildcards then you have a back up when it comes to superbowl betting
The value in those three is the Bears. Cutler back, can run all day with Forte, should draft a WR to go alongside Brandon Marshall..the D is always competitive and the weather from November outdoors at Soldier field onwards keeps the games against the high scoring teams close
Mike Martz has also gone too. Big positive
What you also have is the bears finishing 3rd in the division last year, so they get the 3rd placed teams in the Conf Cowboys and Panthers
Detroit get Eagles and Atlanta
GB get the Giants and the Saints
Packers 13/2 (appalling value)
Detroit 20/1 (ok)
Bears 33/1 (interesting)
by the way the 49ers are interesting at 16-1 too. Going to be even better this year

I actually think that San Fran and Houston were ul to get the NFC North, the tricky thing for laying purposes is that unlike say Denver, Houston actually get a nice start to the season so will prob be shorter than they are now. San Fran start off with a couple of easy looking games in their first 6 or 7 but they are surrounded with games against strong teams too, so it could be the opposite in that they will be bigger then than they are now.
To give a the best example of that is New England
They start the season with
Tennessee
Arizona
Baltimore
Buffalo
Denver
Seattle
Jets
St Loius
Buffalo
Indiy
Its hard to see how they can trade bigger than they are now unless Brady gets injured.

Arguably the easiest schedule in the league and with some good additions already on board as tighty says the Bears must be great value at 33-1, back early and green out.
The schedule starts off quickly, with Chicago playing their first two games against the Colts and the Green Bay Packers -- which host the Bears in the first of the five prime-time games -- over a span of four days. The Bears play host to the Houston Texans on a Sunday night in Week 10 for the second-to-last prime-time outing.
While the schedule appears somewhat soft on the surface, considering Chicago's upcoming opponents combined in 2011 for a record of 126-130 (.492), the sequence of the contests might make things more difficult. On a schedule featuring just four 2011 postseason participants (Lions, 49ers, Texans and Packers), the Bears face Green Bay on the road in Week 2 for a Sept. 13 Thursday night matchup before hosting the St. Louis Rams in Week 3, followed by the outing against the Cowboys on Oct. 1.
Chicago's 2012 home opponents combined for a winning percentage of .430 in 2011, which qualifies as the league's easiest home schedule on paper. But the NFL seemed to counter that by putting together a challenging road schedule for the Bears, based on the .555 winning percentage in 2011 of the team's road opponents, which is considered the league's fourth most difficult road schedule.
The Bears play their last two contests on the road on Dec. 23 and Dec. 30 at Arizona and Detroit.

NFL Draft on Thursday
Begins with Round 1, live here on ESPN
A final attempt at the first round, ignoring trades
Anything over 8 of 32 in the rightspot is good
trying to get 20+ names correct
Indianapolis (2-14) Andrew Luck QB
Washington - from St. Louis (2-14) RG3 QB
Minnesota (3-13) Matt Kalil OL
Cleveland (4-12) Trent Richardson RB
Tampa Bay (4-12) Morris Claiborne CB
St. Louis - from Washington (5-11) Fletcher Cox DT
Jacksonville (5-11) Justin Blackmon WR
Miami (6-10) Ryan Tannehill QB
Carolina (6-10) Luke Kuechly LB
Buffalo (6-10) Michael Floyd WR
Kansas City (7-9) David De Castro OG
Seattle (7-9) Quinton Coples DE
Arizona (8-8) Riley Reiff OT
Dallas (8-8) Mark barron S
Philadelphia (8-8) Michael Brockers DT
New York Jets (8-8) Chandler Jones DE
Cincinnati - from Oakland (8-8) Stephen Gilmore CB
San Diego (8-8) Whitney Mercilus OLB
Chicago (8-8) Kendall Wright, WR
Tennessee (9-7) Dontari Poe NT
Cincinnati* (9-7) Courtney Upshaw DE
Cleveland - from Atlanta* (10-6) Brandon Weeden QB
Detroit* (10-6) Cordy Glenn G
Pittsburgh* (12-4) Donta Hightower ILB
Denver* (8-8) Jerel Worthy DT
Houston* (10-6) Stephen Hill WR
New England - from New Orleans* (13-3) Shea McLellin OLB
Green Bay* (15-1) Nick Perry OLB
Baltimore* (12-4) Peter Konz C
San Francisco* (13-3) Coby Fleener TE
New England* (13-3) Harrison Smith S
New York Giants* (9-7) Doug Martin RB
The real fun will be trades
Something like Cleveland trading up if Tannehill falls, or Chargers jumping up to get Barron
If you've never watched it live, its great fun. Mostly for the Jets fans in NY Radio City booing an unpopular pick of theirs, or picks selected by their rivals
