December 7th, 2011 afcbeast I’m going to give you a rough draft of the way I’d like the draft to go next year. It’s just a sketch, but I’m just going to take into account what I believe are the weak spots on this team. First things first I’m just going to say trade the 1st draft pick. There [...]

September 15th, 2011 afcbeast Quarterbacks Mark Sanchez (6’2″, 225, Age 24): In his third season, the face of the franchise must be consistent.
