Let’s see if I’m right about Castanzo to the Giants, seems like a natural fit to me. ---

Didn’t see that coming, OL sliding a little. The Bears might catch a break. Will the Bucs grab Bowers? ---

I am all for the O-line guys slipping…all the better guys for my Packers to draft ---

On one hand I’m glad to see Bowers drop, on the other hand, does that mean no one thinks his knee is alright? Word was that he cleared medical exams. Cleveland trade up. Here he comes? ---

Bowers problem is it is a toos up which lasts longer: his rookie contract or his knee. Iowa boy makes good at 20! woo hoo! ---

Cleveland? Bowers? ---

Phil Taylor? Isn’t he a 3-4 NT? Picked him over Bowers and Jordan? ---

So really…how scared of Bowers’s knee are teams? I didn’t have him on any of my teams list because I’m always scared of injury, but it’s another thing entirely when half the league agrees with me ---

Soooo. The 4-3 team picks a 3-4 NT. All the 3-4 teams pick 4-3 DTs. Can someone please explain this shit to me? ---

What’s strange is that we already had a rising quality player in Rubin playing the same position. ---

They’re gonna try to make your head explode by doing the entire draft against scheme. ---

He’s a run stopping DT. He’ll work in the 3 or 4 man front. If D’Qwell Jackson comes back healthy, he’s going to have 150 tackles with that front eating blocks. The Browns have whiffed on too many picks since they’ve come back, and they need to get the solid and dependable type of guys the Steelers and Ravens always seem to get. ---

Gabe Carmini creeps ever closer to Green Bay… ---

The Colts got a frigging steal in Castanzo. Amazing to me he was still there. I bet the Bears still get shut out at OL. And now Watkins gets taken. One more potential choice gone. Bad times. ---
