R. Rich

You're probably right. He probably won't be there in the 3rd round in the real draft. This is a MOCK draft and in this one, he was available. It's way too early to get too crazy about this anyway. There's still a lot of free agency remaining to be done that will determine how teams will draft.

Hahaha!!! No, it was my mistake. I wrote Jacksonville's pick down as the 90th pick and proceeded from there, skipping 3 teams.

Hey clump; you're up!

Already taken care of. You're up.

It's been fixed. Sorry 'bout that.

No problem. In the interest of fairness, all picks after Jacksonville are now null and void. The NY Jets select Ryan Claridge, LB UNLV with the 88th pick. Green Bay is on the clock.

Yeah, I caught that. I don't know what happened. Feel free to pick away.

Damn. I must have lost the post when the computers went crazy. That, or I just plain overlooked them. Okay, let's do this. NY Jets are up.

There simply wasn't any lineman, offensive or defensive, that was a better value at that 3rd pick. Most of the DTs left on the board are 4th round talents anyways, as are the OTs, centers, and guards.

Did you see the pick I just made? I went by the list you PM'd me.

Hey stuck, it's Philly's turn! Are you still here?

Considering the Bills didn't have a first round pick, I think they did okay. 2nd round: Got the best center available in the draft in Chris Spencer 3rd round: They picked up this. That ought to make some of you happier.

Buffalo selects Mike Nugent, K Ohio State with the 86th pick. Jacksonville selects J.R. Russell, WR Louisville with the 87th pick.

Oh really.

Nope. Just older:

Seattle selects Ray Willis, T Florida State with the 86th pick in the draft. Buffalo is on the clock.

Man, what happened? All of a sudden, we crashed. I came back, and now it's working again. Weird. Anyway, the Minnesota Vikings select Roscoe Parrish, WR Miami (Fla.) with the 80th pick. St. Louis selects Eric Green, CB Virginia Tech with the 81st pick. New Orleans selects Ryan Moats, RB Louisiana Tech with the 82nd pick. Cincinnati selects Lofa Tatupu, LB USC with the 83rd pick. Baltimore selects James Butler, S Georgia Tech with the 84th pick. Seattle is on the clock.

Anyone else still here?

Oops! Sorry 'bout that. I had some interviewing to do at work. Okay, Houston is next and they select J.J. Arrington, RB California with the 78th pick. Carolina selects Claude Terrell, G New Mexico with the 79th pick. Minnesota is on the clock.

Arizona selects C.J. Brooks, G Maryland with the 75th pick. Washington selects Jovan Haye, DE Vanderbilt with the 76th pick. Philadelphia is on the clock.
