Wow, didn’t have Gilchrist on my board at all. ---

Bowers finally comes off the board to the Bucs! They might get a real steal there. ---

Damn, looks like the Bears luck ran out. Austin looks like the pick for the Giants. Knew it was too good to be true, hopefully they don’t settle for Paea. ---

Paea could be a beast, but I’m an Oregonian at heart. ---

I think the Rams pcik says they intend to resign Clayton, get Avery back from injury and not throw to them very much to keep them healthy. Only thing I can come up with to justify passing up the WRs available. ---

Not only did they settle for Paea, they apparently panicked and traded up to get him. I really hope I’m wrong about him. ---

LOL and traded the 4th that waqs part of the screwed up 1st round Ravens trade-that-wasn’t to do it. ---

They’re doubling down on the fuckup. ---

Well, supposedly the Bears were going to take Paea in the first round if Carimi fell through. If they are right about him being a first round worthy talent then I like the move, but I have my doubt. Though I apparently am in the minority, most people like the guy quite a bit and have him ahead of Austin. We’ll see. As usual, I hate that they gave up a 4th rounder though. Apparently 9 spots in the 2nd round is equal to 3 spots in the 1st. :dubious: ---

It is a good pick there. I just find the double screwing of the Ravens funny. I think the Bears can lose the Ravens warroom number for a while 🙂 ---

What happened with the Ravens this time? I had to turn the TV off. ---

Two of my third-round shopping list players have gone here in the second. I predicted Wisniewski not being available, though. I hope they don’t reach for a corner just to take a corner. Ravens picked WR Torrey Smith out of Maryland. ---

Fuck! There goes Little. The Browns got a steal. Houston finally gets a CB in Harris, probably a good value. ---

That went pretty close to my want list for the second round. Sheard instead of Bowers, but Little where I wanted him. ---

Well, now I’m pretty well resigned to the Bears settling for the best OG available in the 3rd. Boling or Moffitt to pair with Carimi. ---

Good god, the Redskins refuse to pick a player. They will be the only team drafting on the 3rd day at this point. ---

The Dolphins are getting killed on NFLN for passing on Mallett. ETA: Franco Harris has the largest head I have ever seen. ---

They have more picks in the 5th and 7th rounds then most teams have all draft.
