> [@Gangster\_Octopus](#): > > Wow! Mayock nailed it. Hope he’s not just faking it because he got the info from the producer. Color me skeptical. Getting close to the Bears pick and Floyd probably will be gone. Starting to think it’s gonna be a LB…crap. Not sure if I’d prefer Patterson or a LB. The Bears blogs have had Arthur Brown as the consensus favorite of the LBs, but everyone figured he’d be there in the 2nd round. I see now that [NFL.com](http://NFL.com) has Brown ranked at the top of the LB class, so maybe he’ll be the pick. ---

Jarvis Jones is going to be better than Mingo 11 picks later. I’d rather have Jones than Mingo. ---

No Steelers fans here being rowdy. Jarvis Jones? The 49ers traded up for Floyd maybe? Patterson? ETA: Yup, Jones to the Steelers…the most obvious pick that every Mock got right. ---

Pissed that the Niners traded with someone other than the Bears. Shit! Wait, the Cowboys only got a third rounder?!?! WTF! Not sure why they felt they needed to trade up for Reid, never saw him projected as a 1st rounder by anyone. ---

Wow, Floyd could actually be here for the Bears… Announce the damn Giants pick already…I need to know if I want to pray for a trade. ---

Harrumph. Saints went with Vacarro? (Something like that.) A safety from Texas. I’m not mad enough to steal **Senor Beef** ’s rape boots from last year, but I’m not happy, either. I wanted Mingo. When the Browns took him, I wanted Jones. Lots of SEC guys taken already… ---

Do you have any idea what happens to the man who tries to steal my rape boots? What did you want with Mingo? Do you just crave all SEC players or is he actually good? ---

I’m having trouble deciding if the Bill’s reaching for Manuel or the Rams trading up for Austin is the bigger mistake so far. ---

I like Reid’s size, speed, strength, aggression. All around he should be great, but I’m scared at how much he dropped off when his good cornerbacks left. At least the trade-up didn’t cost too much, just the 74 Third Rounder. ---

No strong opinion on Reid but I’m practically certain he’d have lasted until their pick at 32, the trade up was a waste. ---

It’s weird, I swear that NLFN and ESPN always go to a commercial when the Bears pick is in. Really spoils the tension for me. No Te’o please! Glad it wasn’t Te’o and we needed a OG…but fuck, why not Floyd!!! Hmm, not as pissed as I was last year but we could have traded back and still gotten Long later. He will help us out but damn, if Floyd is a Pro Bowler I’m gonna be pissed! ---

**Eric Fisher, OT, Central Michigan** This kind of stuff always amazes me and shows what a crap shoot college recruiting can be. Michigan State and Michigan go head to head to get the best talent in Michigan and they have the upper hand. Then you have other B1G schools running around the state to get talent while Notre Dame will snag guys. After all is said and done, a guy from Central Michigan, a second tier conference, not only goes in the first round, but is the #1 overall pick. How did he slip under the radar? Just shows to go you.
