Nope, just reiterating that it's a cop-out for Gosselin to grade almost 2/3 of the draft as 'average' and no one lower than that. Way to go out on a limb there Rick.

He gave almost everybody a friggin' C grade. It's completely useless BS.

Verrry good stuff... You should have included this part of the Carson Palmer quote... "I think Carson Palmer will be a bust. The Bengals should have taken CB Terrence Newman or DT Dewayne Robertson." Also... "I do not like fourth rounder CB Asante Samuel." For the Steelers..."They took their QB of the future, Brian St. Pierre in round six." For the Chiefs..." The Chiefs didn't have to take a running back (Larry Johnson) in the first round. They could have taken a Lee Suggs in round 4." Cardinals...." WR Anquan Boldin was a good second round pick. Their third round pick was an excellent one, in MLB Gerald Hayes." Who's Gerald Hayes and why is he greater than Boldin? Skins....."G Derrick Dockery will be a nice backup."

"WE GoT His Son" Are we holding him for ransom?

Along with 18 other teams that he graded as "C." http://www.dallasnews.com/sharedcontent/dw...es.3945201.html Seriously...no C-s, Ds or Fs given. Weird shiite.

My apologies if this has already been posted. http://www.nfl.com/draft/profiles/kennard-cox?id=4517 "With NFL bloodlines (cousins Torrie Cox, Marcus Hudson and Roscoe Parrish are current NFL players), Cox has shown enough to warrant a late-round pick, though his play leveled off in 2007 after he flashed upon the scene as a junior, earning "Most Improved Defensive Player" accolades."

Naw...he's just a big fan of the British.

1) I didn't win...I almost won. 2) Kermit is mad at you. 3) I'm an atheist.

I'd just like to thank all the people who almost made this possible. My wife and kid, Mom and Dad, my agent, Reddy Freddy, and of course God. Peace in Darfur and support the troops.

The Bengals scouting consists of reviewing mug shots and line-ups at police stations.

Nailed it.

There's only one resume I care about and, as I glance at it, there's an item on it that jumps off the page... - Has not made the playoffs in the National Football League in almost 10 years.

Shucks. I'm gonna miss posting here. Maybe there's another venue for me to discuss my favorite football team other than TBD, because I've got barely any of those qualifications. It's hard being a fan these days. I suppose I could put my username up for auction. Anybody want my account?

Yeah, it's not like the Bills are the only team picking UDFAs in the fourth round! Wait, they are?! Never mind.

The Bills are becoming the Robin Hood of the NFL. Giving huge contracts to guys who should be getting tiny ones. If this is the quality of talent that they are taking in the fourth round, then I'd better get ready....there's a small chance they might call my name in the 7th round.

Keller's gone. Kellen Davis, OTOH, is still available.

If they're picking a projected UDFA with their first pick in the fourth round, I think it's safe to say that they are gonna do their own thing from here on out and it's hopeless to even guess at this point. Everyone can throw away your ranking sheets. It probably won't be a DB though.

REALLY looking forward to the interviews with the staff about this pick. I'm all for depth at this position, but even the most ardent "draft guru" detractor has gotta be wondering what this pick is all about. I'll reserve judgment till I hear from the front office.

Steve Young: See this? I wrote Devin Thomas on my sheet in ink, so if they don't pick him I can't remove it. Goodell: The Titans select Chris Johnson, RB, East Carolina. Steve Young: Anybody have an ink eraser?

Heh-heh...pretty cool, but I've got a bit of a long-shot as my third. I honestly wasn't too worried about them picking DRC.

Connor or Philip Wheeler out of the mix?

12 Missed Bruce, Emtman, Wilkinson, Carter, George, Couch, Brown and Carr

I just tried it and it's okay for me.

DRC may be a decent player in a few years, but not even close to worthy of a 1st rd pick. My main beef with him is that he appears to be afraid to tackle and that's not gonna fly on the Bills. Kelly has a better chance at success...but rather than waste a pick to trade up to draft him , I'd rather just pick one of the safer guys or take him if he falls to us in the 3rd round. No crystal ball...just one man's opinion.
