I’d take that deal if you’d agree to give me McFadden instead of Russell. I don’t want Russell on my team. The guy just doesn’t have the discipline to make it in the NFL as a QB.

For that matter, I would not be displeased if the Saints were to work a trade for McFadden. I think he’s got potential if he’s on a team with sane management.

Russell is completely useless. You’d have to include a draft pick just to give him away.

The 49ers website has a live webcam of their war room in Santa Clara. It’ll be interesting to watch that during and after the picks.

I have been wracking my brain to try to figure out what ridiculous thing the Raiders will do, but I have to prediction.

Rumor going around that Cleveland is offering a Ditka-like trade for the Rams’ #1 overall.

ETA: Guess we’ll know in 10 minutes.

Here we go.

Edit: Rumor is probably BS. I doubt that happens.

Ollowing this thread on an iphone is already aggravating and awful. I lasted one pick.

Huzzah for 10 minutes per pick! Completely ridiculous to have only 3-4 picks per hour like in years past.

4 (4) Redskins - Trent Williams, OT, Oklahoma

Williams jumped over Okung only recently, and I anticipated this, based on chatter.

Just 2 more picks, hope there’s a run on tackles… the next two teams need them. I think KC can’t pass on Okung here, but I’m not sure what Seattle will do.

5 (5) Chiefs - Eric Berry, S, Tennessee

Looks like it, based on his phone call.

Fuck me, I hate #7 now. No one I like there.

Outside chance the Rams and Browns do a draft-and-trade deal for Clausen and Bradford, since rumors were the Rams were equally warm on those guys. Eh.

I don’t want Joe Haden, and the other guys I want are a reach at #7. Hope they can trade down 5-8 picks.

Same here at #6. Lots of Hawks fans not sold on Okung.
