The compelling case for top 10 is the fact there is Hooker and Jamal... And the Chargers need desperate help along with the Titans.

And the case against is that drafting a safety in the top 10 hasn't worked out most of the time (Roy Williams was drafted before Ed Reed woooooo). The Chargers will probably draft a safety, but the Titans are just as likely to look at CB and WR with their two first round picks.

Yeah, though as they die off their accounts tend to go dormant once the credit charges get declined.

This is a really good article about the history of AOL instant messenger and why it's still going strong among the : http://mashable.com/2014/04/15/aim-history/#SjoyoLlqaPqs

AIM still functions, the way a ghost town silently weathers on. AOL declined to provide numbers on active users for this story, but a 2011 report said AIM held a 0.7% share of the world messenger market.

Top 1% baby.

My boss tried to start using trello and holy gently caress is that annoying. Also after trying to use it for 5 months, the first 3 being bombarded with emails and notifications galore, everyone just stopped using it. And it looks like they just got bought up so hopefully it goes away.

As far as I know AIM and Yahoo Communicator is still in heavy use amongst some institutional equities and commodities traders. At least there's still the option on my Bloomberg to also log into your AIM and Yahoo accounts.

So yes there's a good chance the guy in charge of your retirement savings is chatting on AIM.

Also I've been registered on the forums now for more than half my life. gently caress.

its cool as heck that the Titans went from one of the worst OL to the top rated. Ben Jones was a great addition in FA, he's been rock solid and has really helped Marcus.

That straight up just doesn't happen. Over the last 5 years, no safety has gone in the top 10, and only 2 went in the top 15 (at 14th and 15th). There's only been one safety drafted in the top 5 since 1992 and that was Sean Taylor and only 7 drafted in the top 10 since 1991 (and none since 2007).

Kind of aghast that you'd forget Eric Berry drafted #5.

AIM makes sense as SEC/FINRA-compliant archival solutions like Smarsh and Global Relay still support it. Yahoo is almost certainly hosed though.

As much as S sucks for the Chargers right now, I think they're better off getting another pass rusher with their first, regardless of whether they resign Ingram or not. I think a pretty decent one could be had in either of the next two rounds, also depending on how FA shakes out.

So Eric Berry was 5, Earl Thomas was 14, and I couldn't remember who 15 was. I was starting to think, dang, safeties don't often go high but when they do they're real studs!

So naturally I had to see who 15 was

It was Kenny Vaccaro in 2013

Chiefs fans were bitching still until this year that the Chiefs took Berry at 5.

At the beginning of the year almost all the fans and media unilaterally decided the Chiefs made a major mistake keeping Berry over Sean Smith who went to the Raiders.

Sean Smith doesn't even start for the Raiders any more.

Yeah even with Berry, the record for top 10 safeties isn't very good. The larger point is, safeties are drafted later than CBs.
