Boy, I don't know about Orakpo in the NFL. I think Jeff Madden has been giving those Shorthorns the Superman juice down there.

The Ohio State guys are going to start to go following Jenkins to NO.

Wells and Laurinitus likely in the next 10 picks.

looks to be a boring draft for Cowboy fans

I can't think of much they did in FA either. Wonder what's up with that?

fwiw - I love to hate the Cowboys. Cowboys and Steelers are great traditional NFL teams and I really enjoy hating them both, lol.

On the Crabtree to SF thing, I'm wondering if Seattle is going to end up kicking themselves for not picking him now that they will face him twice a year. Hopefully Curry can help keep him off the field and luckily Crabtree has frack for a QB to thow to him, LOL!!

Speaking of QBs, Seattle really needs to consider picking up a young guy. Hasslebeck has a few more years, but he's getting up there, and now's the time to start grooming a replacement. Or at least a back up to Seneca, if he moves to the #1 spot. I don't think Jeff Rowe will ever be more than a 3rd stringer anyways.

I think Stephen McGee could fit the bill. He's got the potential, though his stats are a little weak due to injuries.

Freeman is still out there and the Browns have 3 starting quality QB's and have already made two trades in the 1st round.

I'd love for the Hawks to get a solid QB and really wonder if Seattle might move Seneca to WR. (did you see him make that huge catch in the NFC championship game back in the day??)

Freeman is kind of a head case. I don't know what his deal is but he gets rattled easily.

I've heard a lot of buzz about Eben Britton going to Philly.

Eagles take Maclin is surprising with Tra Thomas gone and Runyan getting up there in years. Maclin will be an average #2 WR in the NFL.

Pettigrew will give that Lions' OL lots of help on blocking DEs and blitzes off the edge.

I like what he can do in a wildcat formation but wonder if Jackson can get him the ball consistantly in the open field. Great player though.

OT Max Unger for the Hawks, round 2. Good choice. The guy is a giant.

I have yet to hear what the Jets gave up for that pick. (??)

Just heard. 3 Jets players (including a starting CB) plus the 1st and 2nd pick in the draft wow.

RS, my moonbat BIL told me that the guys the Jets gave up were holdovers from the Eric Mangini days . . . and they're going back to Mangini's team.  I'll talk to the office moonbat, who is a serious Bills' fan, tomorrow about who did well in the draft and who didn't.  (If he hasn't committed suicide over the Bills, that is.)

Mangini didn't do much for the Jets last season. He did plenty for them yesterday.

Mangini traded that fifth pick to his old buddy Tannenbaum for the Jets' 17th pick, their second-round pick and three spare parts that a rebuilding team can use immediately: defensive end Kenyon Coleman, safety Abram Elam and quarterback Brett Ratliff in what arguably is the biggest draft day trade in Jets history. I never thought former Giants GM Ernie Accorsi gave up too much for Eli Manning, and he gave up more than Tannenbaum did for Sanchez.

You don't win a championship in the NFL hoping you have a quarterback. You don't win a Super Bowl with a caretaker quarterback, unless you have a dominant defense for the ages. If you plan on shaking hands with the president at the White House within the next four years, and Ryan has wasted no time telling us he does, you better make sure you have a Mark Sanchez driving the bus.

Wow, that is a hell of a lot of faith in a guy who hasn't proven himself in the NFL.   

I love watching the Jets be the Jets.    :-)

Like that the Seahawks jumped back into the third round to get the WR they wanted.

Bengals have been going need need need over BPA all draft. Chances are they will keep on sucking, lol.

Man that was a long ass draft day.  :beer:

After the third round ended, I cleaned up my apartment, meet a friend just outside of town for a late lunch and a few beers on the patio, got tippsy, walked to the bookstore and killed some time and got sober, washed my car and then drove back home and watched the last hour of the draft, lol.

Hawks got some good looking projects late but that's as much as you can ask for in late day two.

Go FOOTBALL!!!!  :-) (see you again in August)   :bawl:
