I like Ramirez a lot, but I don't think he'll be there in the 4th, especially after his workout in Indy, where he showed how strong he is (42 reps @ 225, I believe, or something similar) and actually moved better than expected. If he is there in the 4th, I sure hope the Bills take him.

See?

I'll take two of those.

So is reading the Stadium Wall. Big deal.

Kickers only?

Has Lee made it into the Hall of Fame yet? Maybe he'll make it on the day the schedule is released...

You gonna beat him again?

He has no potential. In fact, he sucks. Don't believe me? Continue reading the board.

I'm in...........3 weeks from today. Until then, you know what to do, Rock.

Hope you enjoyed your birthday, Kenneth. Too bad your boss made you 'work', huh?

Yeah, but he's in the pros now. Why hasn't he been able to do anything impressive like that in the NFL? What's his problem? Plus, he's old, 'bout 3 years older than Marshawn Lynch or Adrian Peterson. That, plus the guy's been a bust in the NFL. For crying out loud, he can't even break the starting lineup!!!

No. What, are you new to the Wall? You know how the mob operates 'round here, especially @ this time of year.

And that's the point, William: w/ the way the cap has gone up, $25 million isn't a huge salary. It's still a lot of money, but not in relation to the cap and to some of the salaries that have been given out for linemen this offseason.

W/ the 49ers picking right before the Bills, there's a strong chance that Willis will be gone. Now, would I take the deal and swap first round picks to acquire Turner? Sure. Well, then what to do w/ the 30th pick? Again, this is if I were the GM, I'd look to bolster the offensive line by taking a guy I think can be a real star in the pros: C Ryan Kalil of USC. I'd look to draft David Harris in the 2nd round, then go after some CB help in the 3rd. Since this draft is not a great one for corners, I wouldn't bypass the chance to upgrade @ center (Fowler's very technically sound, but is too weak) and bring in a tough, smart MLB to overspend on this group of corners. Of course, this is just my take on things. I'm quite sure there's little or no chance of Kalil ending up in Buffalo once the draft gets underway.

You shouldn't hate.

You're beginning to lose me here... ...and I'm gone.

No, but there was this kicker from Ohio State that......... Never mind. That wasn't this draft. My bad.

Agreed. I personally don't believe that the first round would turn out the way it did in this mock (a little too line-heavy, I think; the draft hardly ever goes the ideal way), especially in regard to Peterson.

Awesome. I remember my brother being all psyched when he got to meet Dr. Harry Edwards (the noted sports psychologist). He said the guy's just a phenomenal conversationalist. Not too preachy either, which I would've thought he'd be. I'll bet working w/ Dr Walker was a constant learning experience, huh? Someone w/ his credentials, I'll bet it was something else.

It takes all kinds, Dean. Critique away.

Man, would I have loved to be @ that function. What a treat it must've been for you.

I hear ya. This mock draft sucks. It's stupid. WTF are you guys thinking? You're all a bunch of idiots. Man, do I love this sideline GM stuff!

Or...Green Bay could simply wait for either Peterson or Lynch to fall to them. Why, if there's 2 good RBs available and their pick is just 4 selections away, would they deal up and lose another pick to get one particular player?
