Especially those red plastic cups! The only "law" I'd maybe like to see is to have gun owners, especially ones w/ children around, have a safe or keep gunlocks on when not in use. The electronic fingerprint technology is great but it's been slow to market. In the meantime, I'm an ardent proponent of the Eddie Eagle program. Those stories are the worst enemy for the NRA and people who own guns responsibly.

4.44 isn't fast enough? His knock is that his size is a tweener for S and LB. I think he might be a good pickup to fit Grey's 46 hybrid.

Nice to go to this board where it's a little quieter.... ;-) -- Agreed about Detroit's picks. Millen has just ignored his defense even tho it's probably the area that has the biggest holes -- Cody doesn't solve their lack of good LBs. I liken it to TD upgrading the defense in his first two years w/ Clements, Spikes, Milloy, Posey, Fletcher, etc. and not being as committed to balancing it out w/ offensive additions other than stopgaps like how he ultimately rented Bledsoe. Anywho, The pick-up of Orlovsky is interesting too. I think he will surprise a lot of people there, and he landed in probably the best situation he could get. Harrington is on the outs and Garcia isn't long for the league. I'll be rooting for Dan-O. -- Dallas' selecting Ware... I think the trade for JP last year will prove to be very wise. -- I was apprehensive about no OL picks on Day One, but reading about Preston has me going . He could be a good insertion into the line if Teague is moved to LT. Good combo of smarts (pro'ly the most important thing for a center as Hull showed) and size. Some time w/ McNally will do him good. Gates will likely be a good ST contributor similar to Sammy Morris's role. -- Shazor went undrafted. At SS, I like him as a backup to Milloy, who's getting up there. He's got size that can be an asset in the 46-hybrid. Do you think, despite his size, he could play/backup FS if Vincent had to move back to CB? What I saw of him on Saturdays impressed me at times. I'd like to see him as an UDFA, but he may go somewhere where he has a better chance of breaking into the lineup.

And the Bengals. They don't have anything that could remotely be labeled a "scouting department." Mike Brown is a cheapskate idiot. But what the hey, as long as they remain bottom-dwellers, that's all right. They were sold on such talents as Kijana Carter, David Klingler, Dan Wilkinson, Akili Smith.... And since I don't have the next hour free, I'll stop there.

Another thing that I've learned watching 10 years of this stuff: Don't expect anything, b/c you're going to be disappointed. Have hopes, have dreams. But when the pick doesn't fall or the team just before us picks the guy you want, be peeved if you want for an hour or a day, but accept reality and move forward. B/c you can't do much about it. Same goes for the season....

Which means it attracts the riff-raff who, once they see a nice meadow to park their rusty cars in, decide to pitch a tent.

Um, he isn't. I beat the other WR available named Henry at pick-up BBall two years ago.

In the last week or so, I've noticed a lot of posters showing up and having 10, 20, 30 posts and they reason and spell like 3rd graders.... Could it be that the igmos over at the BB.com board are coming here to bog down the content? I wouldn't be surprised, if you've ever spent any time there. Anywho, having them go through registration just encourages these asshats to come back and cause trouble b/c they have that golden ticket that is a registration. Question: To offset this, might it be prudent to open it up to unregistered posting (only as responders) just for the weekend? or until Monday night? Encourage the hipsters to just do their schpiel and then move along.

"I can't make bricks without clay." -- Sherlock Holmes in "The Adventure of the Copper Beeches" TD needs to get something in rounds 4-7. Because the starting LT (or C if they switch Teague) doesn't appear to be on the roster. And the Shelton trade which looked like crapola before is dead (This is for the best, I'd say). Not saying he needs a blue chipper, but he does need to pick up a warm body, at least.

And the spike in registered users who will forever remain at "Posts: 1" just so they could chime in with "Yeah! What he said."

Hochstein at C and another rookie at T were starting in the Pats' second SB win.... I give TD a lot of latitude b/c he's the man w/ the plan. To me, these two picks don't sit right, as there are more important areas to plug w/ backups. Who knows, but he'd be wise to sift through the detritus and pick up a C and DT tomorrow.

One part of me agrees, and then the other part has me thinking of when Sherlock Holmes said, "You can't make bricks without clay."

Is that what it's called when he uses his left hand? What a horrible person!

You mean: -- Has a ... good bubble and thick calves … ("A good bubble"? WTF? ) -- power through the jam or use his swim move … -- Can sink his hips -- decent job of finding the soft spot to settle when working in the zone … -- Creates a nice underneath target If you read with a dirty mind, yeah.... :w00t:

I guess they're just saving time and picking up the entire Hurricanes squad. Did Willis clue them in on some secret about these guys? <Breathe in> Relax. It's all right. TD has a plan. We weren't that far away before this, we won't be that far away after it. <Breathe out>

You'd think with thirty posts in an hour, he might have had more than one idea to share, but alas.... it just ranged from dark to bleak.

Mick, I don't think TD has the Rolaids out.

I actually wouldn't be unhappy if we pick up Alfred Fincher from my alma mater.... I think he can be had in the third if the Pats don't scoop him up at the end of this round as insurance for Bruschi. Mark my words, you probably haven't heard of him, but this kid will be good.

Does Cinci go for Munoz, just because?

I think it's something we'll be regretting. Oh well. Gotta look forward, not back.

Now we'll see if TD gets a chance at Nugent if the Jests don't snag him....

I would be. I honestly don't think the Bills are that far away. Getting a kicker who can make the ST even more special and who you can have confidence in, even past 50 yards, is better than picking a 'Best Player Available' who will be a backup for 3 years before he sniffs the field. As long as TD picks a T in the 3rd.

Pats will be picking LB or CB. Their DL is strong already.
