When paired with Kenny Irons, our 2nd round pick, they will form a formidable duo.

LOL! Good one!

One gap DT is a tough one to find.

My $0.02... Round 1 - MLB - Patrick Willis - Miss Round 2 - RB - Kenny Irons - Auburn Round 3 - CB - Johnathon Wade - Tenn Round 3 - DT - Paul Soliai - Utah

Who is Michael Smith? Is he Anna Nicole's baby daddy? Why do we care?

If I owned a media outlet, I would have published them. Hired myself a few armed guards with military experience and bring it on!! At least this way, we'd know who the real lunatics are in this country. Hell, it may have even helped smoke out a few sleeper cells.

Oh come on now, you're better than that argument. Safety issues my ass. If the religious right stormed Comedy Central with guns, knives & bombs, we wouldn't make fun of them anymore? I think every friggin paper/network in the USA should have showed the Mohammed cartoons, I would have if owned a media outlet. Put it so "in their face" they really have no choice but to accept it.

I'm with you there. At the end of the 09 season, people will say we got the better end. But next year will be ugly for us if we don't start strong.

Thats about the way I see it as well. I think is trying to figure out how to get both Patrick Willis and Marshawn Lynch. On the other hand, he may also make a play for Michael Turner, using our second and Baltimore's third. CB, I think Harper from Indy could be the best fit. DT, I can see a draft pick, but personally wish we'd take a look at Marcus Bell. He's a mammoth 1 gap DT who would clog the middle and help stuff the run.

If you plan to pick a RB in the 2nd round, would you rather have Turner or say, Bush (or one of the other potentially available 2nd round RBs)? Tough to say, but if the answer is Turner, then offer SD a 2nd rounder for him. Maybe they take it and away we go. If they want an xtra sweetner, throw in the Ravens 08 3rd rounder. Anything more and we risk overpaying. Also, Marv did say we would be interested in a couple of restricted free agents. I wonder?

I think we'll end up with 2 1sts, one for Patrick Willis and one for Marshawn Lynch. Marv will get back in the 1st.

We need a vet CB, such as Harper from Indy. We need a MLB, possibly draft Patrick Willis. We need a DT, possible free agent??? Marcus Bell? Not too many DTs around.

Except when he plays the Jets. Then he truly is an elite runner. And if he wants an elite contract, I expect to see the Jets McGahee for 16 games next year. Running behind a mammoth OL. 1700 yards and 12 TDs are not unreasonable if he plays that way. If he does this, we make the playoffs.

I agree. Keep him and let him earn his contract (not from us).

If Branch, Okoye and Willis are gone in the top 11, then I say deal down and try to get Paul Pozlusny of Penn St. Either that or take a CB.

Interesting names, for sure. I don't know too much about any of them, but CB Jason David, DT Shaun Smith and LB Brandon Chiller seem like guys I'd like to know some more about, from the write-ups.

Wow, that would be amazing.

I'll contact you tomorrow, after I win the $355 Mega Millions here!!

Rick Reilly is one of the great sportswriters of our time. I read my SI back page first every week. And yes, I'd pay a million dollars to have that experience. Hell, I'd probably be three bags, but man what a rush!

OMFG, I wanted them to sign him last year. I thought he'd be a perfect run stuffer. Why'd Detroit release him?

Otter: He can't do that do that to our pledges. Boon: Only we can do that to our pledges.
