    Maybe Garrett could use him as a slot WR? I'm thinking out loud here. Honestly I can't look at him and not see Julius Jones 2.0

    Yeah, they probably will. He has good hands.

    Anyone else hear Even Flow by Pearl Jam playing at the draft? I didn't know they played music there.

    This is pretty fun; my family doesn't get NFL Network, so I heard that Cason was going to be the pick, then called up my dad again who's watching it on ESPN. I told him who the pick was going to be, shot the shit with him for a bit, then sure enough boom: Cason at 27

    BA, I think Flowers is going to Green Bay.

    If I see that Nike commercial for "My awesome is better than your awesome" or whatever one more time I think I'm going to puke.

    Lawrence Jackson to the Seahawks??? Hmmmm...

    Passing on Mendenhall for Felix Jones reminds me of passing on Stephen Jackson for Julius Jones. We just drafted a career backup. In a couple of years we'll be looking to replace this Jones like we did Julius

    Oh, how silly of me. I forgot that it's Ted Thompson that the Packers are dealing with.

    I hope he raked the Jets over the coals for this pick...

    i sure hope your right, not in your way, cause that'd suck but the Stephen Jackson reference for the Steelers.

    I understand your reaction, but he really is the most breathtaking athlete in the draft.

    A guy who plays with that kind of speed only comes around once every five years or so.

    I bet they can get a good WR in a later round who can compare to Devin Thomas.

    Except, Felix has way better hands, significantly higher ypc, better speed, ....

    Maybe Felix ends up like JJ.... but the skillset Felix brings is a lot better than what Julius did.

    I actually like the Balmer pick for SF. Don't much about him but I thought he would be taken sooner. They need an inside guy, and he played in the 3-4 in college I believe. They're second round pick is going to be important, though.

    I've seen a lot of these "experts" say they like Tyrell Johnson better.

    I wonder if either of them stands out enough to take this high.

    Meh... I was hoping the Packers would get Keller. Instead, they pick up a 4th round pick. Wheee...

    Which one of these guys' cell phones keeps going off and screwing up the audio?

    Oh... And Chad Henne is terrible. Anyone who rates him higher than Brohm is smoking crack.
