I think Omni would commit suicide if that happened.

Browns have some ammo to move up right before the Bears to snatch him up. Richardson/Floyd/Massie would be quite the offensive revamp. Almost half as good as having a QB.

Hoping for… the San Diego Chargers trade the #18 pick to the Browns for the #22 and a bunch of our random 4th round picks. Browns take Floyd. Omni hopefully does not commit suicide.

Yeah no nevermind, there are like 5 teams that can take Floyd, probably St. Louis.

Hmmm…I think Tampa screwed themselves with the Jacksonville trade. They probably thought they could still get Claiborne, but Dallas jumped ahead of them.

Wow, ask and ye shall receiver.

With NFC West opponents going bam, bam, bam, I wonder how those picks will influence the 49ers’ selection.

Can Reiff be a good right tackle? Hmm…

Cards grab Floyd and save Omni from seppuku.

The Rams, assuming they wanted a WR, and they should’ve, really fucked themselves. Moving down from #6 to #14 for a mid second round pick is pretty bad, and both WRs got snatched out in front of them. Dunno what they were thinking.

They are thinking: “Man, we really need picks and anyone we draft in round 1 is an upgrade to what we have!”

The Rams actually draft someone! Brockers goes at 14 but to a different team than some predicted.

My team, the Falcons, don’t pick until #55.

Just as well since we need OL and First Round OLs bust just as often as other positions.

Tony Mandarich is still worth a joke or two.

Any time you can use a first round pick on a D-lineman with 2 sacks, you have to do it.

Good pick for STL. Fills a need and they still have 3 picks tomorrow to get a WR.
