Almost time...
I wonder if Vick is getting bombarded with questions about his "dogs"

There is a wee bit of scuttlebutt..
That Pittsburgh at 15 will swap with Jacksonville at 17 and a 4th round pick.

The Steelers need a lot of picks to help convert to 4-3, and the Jags could get CB Revis or DE Anderson at 15.

More rumors...
JETS want to move to 15 to grab a cornerback...

Jets are moving up?
With the fourteenth pick in the draft... your New York Jets select...Fullback....ARGH!!!! OH NO!!!!!!

by Office Linebacker on Apr 28, 2007 12:13 PM EDT   0 recs

hahahaha
That would be great.  Though there is one "fullback" worth taking in the first round, but if the Jets wanted to do that they'd stay at 25

First Pick
Is there any chance this won't be Russell?

by Office Linebacker on Apr 28, 2007 12:18 PM EDT   0 recs

hmmnn
Slim to none.  If it's Johnson, who's gonna throw to him?

Time
Where do we stand on time here? I don't have a TV and DraftCast kinda sucks.

by Office Linebacker on Apr 28, 2007 12:20 PM EDT   0 recs

Ah
There we go.

by Office Linebacker on Apr 28, 2007 12:20 PM EDT   0 recs

The Pick is...
Russell.

Good for them, now they just need an O-line.

What a suprise
No shock here, although I'm very curious what the Lions will do.

by Office Linebacker on Apr 28, 2007 12:21 PM EDT   0 recs

Now with the lions on the clock...
we could see some trade maddness for CJ.

Tampa has to be on the horn right now.

Big Pick
This is actually the most important pick in the draft because every board will be re-ordered based on what Detroit does here.

I'd draft Mike Martz. Make him play in his crazy offense and see how he likes to have to listen to him.

by Office Linebacker on Apr 28, 2007 12:22 PM EDT   0 recs

How are you watching?
ESPN has a decent draft monitoring thing

Yeah
That's what I have. The clock just went crazy while Oakland was actually calling up Russell.

by Office Linebacker on Apr 28, 2007 12:23 PM EDT   0 recs

They should have cameras
In the draft rooms...Especially Dallas and Oakland.  I just want to see Jerry Jones and AL Davis have a "Old Coot" hoe down.

In other news, Kerns is bringing be a case of the Official Sponsor of the 2007 NFL Draft, Coors Light!

C.J!
Damn...that kid in Mike Martz's offense...

Scary.

Jags Blogger for SB Nation Big Cat Country!

by River City Rage on Apr 28, 2007 12:31 PM EDT   0 recs

I'm actually glad
That they got over the stigma of "not picking another wide reciever" because this kid is obviously different than Chuck Rogers.

by Office Linebacker on Apr 28, 2007 12:33 PM EDT   0 recs

I completey agree
But things could still get crazy when Tampa goes on the clock, they could still get CJ in a trade.

But it's a good point.

Draft Prediction...
Brady Quinn goes next
Jags Blogger for SB Nation Big Cat Country!

by River City Rage on Apr 28, 2007 12:34 PM EDT   0 recs

Counter Prediction
Peterson

Messenger Boy
Send over Cavallaro if you see him, he promised me lunch.

How'd you swing that?
Jags Blogger for SB Nation Big Cat Country!

by River City Rage on Apr 28, 2007 12:37 PM EDT   0 recs

Peterson..
Can't go at 3, it's turned up that his collarbone is giving him problems and will miss everything up until training camp.  He'll fall to 8-10.  Vikes or Texans will get him.

Time for the slide...
Though Quinn and Peterson will keep eachother company till Miami at nine and Houston at ten.

by River City Rage on Apr 28, 2007 12:43 PM EDT   0 recs

Wow
Kind of suprised at that one. I mean you can't go wrong with a great left tackle. But Cleveland needs some glamour at a skill position.

by Office Linebacker on Apr 28, 2007 12:43 PM EDT   0 recs

Tampa Bay picks...
Brady Quinn for the Quadruple Wing offense Gruden's been cooking up.

by Office Linebacker on Apr 28, 2007 12:44 PM EDT   0 recs

haha
An offensive line made of quaterbacks...
Jags Blogger for SB Nation Big Cat Country!

by River City Rage on Apr 28, 2007 12:44 PM EDT   0 recs

No contest
No one will read a defense better than Tampa Bay. Of course, no one will block the defense on Tampa Bay, but oh well.

by Office Linebacker on Apr 28, 2007 12:45 PM EDT   0 recs

hmmnn...
Tampa, Arizona, Washington don't need QB's.  Vikes could go after Brady, I forgot about them.

OMG, ESPN is saying that the Bucs are interested in in Brady.

I'd die laughing

Please
For the sake of my entertainment while listening to Tampa sports radio please draft Quinn. Please!

bucs...
Gaines Adams, DE, Clemson!  Great Pick.  He's a machine
Jags Blogger for SB Nation Big Cat Country!

by River City Rage on Apr 28, 2007 12:54 PM EDT   0 recs

This is good
Bucs are going to have to replace Simeon Rice and their defense has been getting very old in all the wrong places.

by Office Linebacker on Apr 28, 2007 12:55 PM EDT   0 recs

or...
The Lions defensive coordinator runs the same defense as Gruden and they're gonna swap during the commercial break...

I Hope Not
I kinda want to see CJ with Martz.

Nothing like the refreshing taste of Coors Light.

Finally
Arizona makes the right pick and goes for an O-Lineman. Only four more to go.

by Office Linebacker on Apr 28, 2007 1:07 PM EDT   0 recs

The got the guy from USC in the 2nd last year
and he's pretty good at guard, and their center is OK too, so it's really only two more spots...

Maybe now the Arizona "sleeper" prediction might have a bit of weight.

God the NFC West is awful

Though...
If I only had one first day pick, I'd spend it on a big guy like Okoye or Anderson, you can't get size AND speed in the 2nd day.

Good Player, but bad fit. 2nd safety in 4 years.

St. Louis Recommendation
I would think that the Rams should go for Hall. They have gathered a good offense this offseason and now they need to add some defense.

by Office Linebacker on Apr 28, 2007 2:31 PM EDT   0 recs

Entirely possible
Which would probably leave CB Revis, who's a damn fine CB for Jax at 17, assuming that Nelson goes to Carolina

by River City Rage on Apr 28, 2007 2:35 PM EDT   0 recs

There goes a Jags prospect...
