SHHHHHHHHH. Everyone shut up. The Packers are on the clock. ---

Oh wow…nevermind. Way later than I thought we were in the draft. My bad. ---

Upshaw? Perry? Glenn? Branch? Konz to replace Wells? As long as it’s not Stephen Hill, Mike Adams, or Doug Martin, I’ll survive. It’s a bit early, but I do like Lavonte David. ---

I am pretty uneducated when it comes to individual players…but good pickup from a position standpoint ---

Perry? TT loves him some USC players. Perry was in the bunch of OLB/DE’s that I wasn’t sure were all that much different than another, so he’ll do. ---

I can’t even make fun of Dalton for being a ginger now. WILL THE HORRORS NEVER END? Who in their right mind would take [this guy](http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-9qMQypf2A94/TwKRO0jNcwI/AAAAAAAAGH8/1OrG73YYTRo/s1600/brandon-weeden-mug_t620.jpg) over [this guy?](http://imgs.sfgate.com/c/pictures/2011/10/20/sp-stanford21_PH_0503931739.jpg) In that second pic he just raped you with his eyes. You need to take a shower. ---

9 SEC guys so far in the first round…is that a record? ---

I like Harrison Smith. Not sure what the Vikings gave up to get him, but it seems an OK move. How odd that in the mock draft I had the Vikings picking Matt Kalil and Harrison Smith (and Janoris Jenkins), and the Vikings end up drafting Matt Kalil and Harrison Smith. ---

Isn’t Jenkins like a 3rd round prospect at best? ---

> [@Sir\_T-Cups](#): > > This was my thought. There were a lot of good OLB/DEs in this draft and I trust TT and Kevin Greene. Maybe they see something I don’t, but I kinda thought Perry may not be able to make the transition to 3-4 OLB. His strengths (his explosiveness and speed off the snap), are better for a 4-3 DE, and he may be trouble in coverage. But even as just a pass rusher, he should help. ---

> [@SenorBeef](#): > > Isn’t Jenkins like a 3rd round prospect at best? He’s in the bunch of WR’s who have nice measureables, but questionable production. Stephen Hill, Brian Quick, Reuben Randle, Alshon Jeffrey. I’m not sure why he should be the first one off the board, but I can see why a team would like him. ---

Oh my god. I like Jenkins, but at #30? They better trade up into the early 2nd to get somebody else good. Fleener probably ends up with the Giants, and he’ll kill us. ---

What happens if the Giants don’t pick before the clock runs out? Typically, the next in line can jump in, but since it’s the end of the day… ---

Typically, the next in line can jump in, but since it’s the end of the day… The NFL call Senor Beef and he gets his special boots on.
