Thanks **Omni**. My dog ate that page of the instructions. ---

Where’s **mrchan**? My predrafted picks are starting to fall like flies… I want to see who I end up with. ---

Hmm, **mrchan** ’s predrafted his entire draft up to this point, lets hope he knows he’s on the clock. ---

Omni, I think that Shockey needs to go before Gonzo does. He completely outperformed him last year, and there’s nothing to say that he won’t again this year. However, I think 3rd round, ESPECIALLY in a 10 team league is way too early. But I think with Shockey, you can make all sorts of mistakes and not have to worry about it. You can now go early on the top defenses, push for a solid backup QB and take risks. I’d also like to point out that I would have taken Shockey instead of Antowain “Oh my ovaries” Smith, and I would have smashed all of you. ---
