> [@Least Original User Name Ever](#): > > **Omniscent** , the Giants disappeared in your mock draft. Is that by design? > > Mel Kiper doesn’t like. I think I agree, as well. Too early for this guy. Nope, was an accident, the trade got me all confused and the site I was referencing to be sure hadn’t updated yet. Needless to say my picks got all goofy with Kiwanuka going before the Saints get a chance. I figure they’ll eye Eric Winston or the best CB available. ---

Either way, these look like big gambles. I hear the tears of many Buffalonians all dropping around me. Not good in the old town tonight, that’s for sure. ---

> [@Least Original User Name Ever](#): > > I hear the tears of many Buffalonians all dropping around me. Not good in the old town tonight, that’s for sure. No kidding. As bad as the Giants did in the first round, it wasn’t as bad as the Bills. I was hoping for McCargo at the end of the second, which would have been a mild reach even there. Well, at least we didn’t draft offense in the first round, thank god. ---

Fuck! Saints could have had Justice to play in front of his teamate! Exclamation point! ---

So who is likely to take White and Justice at this point? The Jets may need a backup for Martin… ---

I seriously wonder about what some of these GMs think. I mean, don’t they have a highly educated scouting staff going out and digging this stuff up? Maybe that’s the problem. ---

As a second rounder, White is great value for any number of teams. I think the Jets probably take him here, but it could really be anyone in the next half dozen picks - who DOESN’T need more RB depth at discount price? ---

I did read a rumor a week ago that two potential 1st round players failed a drug test. Might be the reason some of them are slipping as they are. (5 beer WAG) ---

Jets must’ve traded their pick to Washington, and Washington takes… Rocky McIntosh. The California Landslide continues. ---

Justice in the Green and Gold. Either a smart pick or the half liter of Baily’s and 9 beers talking. Whatever happens, I’m going to get the 10th beer. And I’m still calling for the draft to start and end without a break. I do not want this to end. _hic_🙂 ---

I lust, in a purely hetersexual football way, for Gabe Watson. He needs to be wearing Blue and Silver soon, dammit. ---

> [@Least Original User Name Ever](#): > > I lust, in a purely hetersexual football way, for Gabe Watson. > He needs to be wearing Blue and Silver soon, dammit. Yeah, no kidding. My idea was to trade down that 32 to the Jets picking up an extra (high) fourth and pick Watson there, or if all else fails just take him at 32. ---
