With their first pick in the draft, the New Orleans Saints select the manufacturer of HGH and that guy who steals opponents playbooks. ---

> [@kidchameleon](#): > > Sort of a cheaper version of Flozell Adams in the past few years, eh? I wonder why so many gurus have him ranked so high. He’s huge and has a lot of starts under his belt in the SEC. With some coaching he might be able to refine his technique and he’s been able to hide his terrible footwork with power. I could have probably talked myself into him, but I hate OT that seem to play in concrete shoes. Looks like Andy Reid is trying to get himself Kolb v2.0. ---

Who’s the dirtiest defensive player left? Alphonzo Dennard? Wait, who? Who dat, indeed. ---

Ronnell Lewis? Nope…a Canuck. ---

Did the Saints just pick Hakeem Nicks? They do know how this draft thing works, don’t they? ---

Hold on a second, the 49ers traded out with the Colts? Yes, for an early 4th Rounder this year, and a 5th Rounder next year. ---

Criner or Sanders for the Colts here? ---

Probably Te’amu for that 3-4 defense their trying out. That guy looks like the crazy replacement roommate for Chandler on Friends. They’re not fooling around with weapons for Luck, are they? ---

I really like the Bengals defensive line now. Very good draft for them so far. ---

If I believed everything I heard during this draft, the NFL would have 70 offensive tackles who can protect the QB’s blindside, 100 stud WR’s who are fast, and 8,634 athletes who could really be something special in the NFL. I am so using my mute button. ---

OT Bobby Massie to the Raiders? I hope it’s Te’amu, but I hear things in my head. ---

Boring pick for the Raiders. Not even the best lineman on the board. ---

The 49ers’ LaMichael James pick is pumping me up. I watched him a _lot_ in college. He runs away from people, can get huge chunks of yardage in a variety of ways (run, receiving, return) and is much tougher than his stature would lead you to believe. Bye bye, Anthony “Boobie” Dixon. ---

The Rams start the day tomorrow once again. I’m guessing the look at the O Line, probably on the inside, maybe Ryan Miller, or maybe the rewatch the tape on Massie or Sanders and see if they can make that work on the left side. ---

Hmmm…Akiem Hicks? Who dat? I don’t follow college football from Canada. On paper, the guy is a monster…6’5", 318, allegedly quick off the ball and dominant against somewhat unheralded competition. Then again, the Saints have found some great players that other teams missed. I’m going with “wait and see” on this guy. ---
