Mmmmkay, I’m back from the gym and the library. It’s been an odd draft. It seems that few are looking to upgrade what they should be upgrading. Of course, I base that on absolutely nothing. Now the gay Giants are on the clock. I know who I want for my Lions in the second. It hasn’t changed, either. I’m also aware of who I want in the third, fourth, and fifth, but I’m a freak like that. (In case you’re wondering, Gabe Watson, Nicholson from FSU, Jeremy Bloom/Devin Hester and Marcus Vick). ---

Not gonna happen. RB is the one position we don’t need to address, along with TE. Hence, ho Davis. Williams isn’t even a factor for GB unless he’s somehow still available in the 3rd round. And even then I’d doubt it. ---

This is one odd draft. Not just that the recievers haven’t been tapped, it’s just…everything! Yeesh. ---

Agreed, **Hamlet**. Nice dig. You get two points for the rest of the NFC North. ---

Williams isn’t even a factor for GB unless he’s somehow still available in the 3rd round. And even then I’d doubt it. Two running backs who are coming off of injuries does not make the position addressed. The Packers have more desperate needs for sure (interior offensive line is the huge one), so you’re probably right, but I think Williams will be a stud in the NFL. ---

Baroo? Trade? Hm…now the Steelers are picking. I smell reciever. ---

> [@Hamlet](#): > > Well, they’ll be great until they get to the Bears… Scoreboard, beiotch!!! Seriously, one thing that I can’t complain about is the Bears ability to draft. With the execption of Benson they’ve been superb in the draft, especially late. Vasher, Tillman, Mike Brown, Alex Brown, Tommy Harris, Lance Briggs, Chris Gandy, Urlacher, Hillenmeyer. Of course the exception is WR. We suck at drafting WRs, though we always wait until late in the draft to do it. And now for some reason the Giants traded away from teh chance to take a stud WR…and the Steelers take Holmes. I’m torn on which I wanted for the Bears. I like Jackson’s pure WR ability but the Bears desperately need a guy who can returnd kicks. Gimme Jackson with this pick, please!!! ---

Checking in while waiting on the track crew to flip Tony Stewart’s car back over… Santonio Holmes going to Pittsburgh… not a horrible pick, especially with the rest of that receiver corps. ---

Um, I’d say the Holmes pick is _awesome_. Monumentally stupid trade by the Giants, though they did get a lot back. Can I tell you all how concerned I am that Jimmy Williams is still on the board? I know that’s going to tempt those guys. With luck the Manning, Jr. signing quelled he compulsion to draft defense in the first round. **Chad Jackson** ---

This is taking to long…don’t trade the fucking pick! ---

They’ve done extremely well in the draft on defense, there’s no denying that. Although I will point out that Hillenmeyer was drafted by the Pack. They never should’ve should have let him go. > [@Omini](#): > > Of course the exception is WR.

Officially add me to the list of people calling for Angelos’ head on a fucking pike. The Benson pick had me close but the playoff appearance soothed me. Now this…never again. I need to see what we fucking got. ---

OK, looks like we got a 2nd and a 3rd rounder. Gave up the 26th overall in exchange for the 42nd and 73rd picks. Decent deal, but we’re not going to land an impact guy like Jackson there. With our next three picks we’d better get Moss, Pope and Marshall (or some other stud who slides obscenely far) in the 2nd and 3rd rounds. Maybe trade up from 42nd if Jackson falls into the top of the 2nd round.
