I think Jones disappoints. When I started to think of the Boys taking Chris Johnson, I realized it scared me a bit.

Great trade for ATL. That team is building a very respectable core for the future.

2:29

Damn, Baker gone. Atl getting better. I think 7-9 in 2008.

2:17

Looks like DeSean Jackson will be there at 25. Man...it's. just. so. tempting.

2:04

Joe Flacco's Arm: Dear Lord, Gigantism!

1:57

Damn, good pick for AZ. I was hoping they'd overvalue Mendenhall. And Cherilus? Matt Millen, you rube.

1:51

First pick I'm really interested in. Cards are dangerous. They're team health was awful last year, and they have the foundation for a good O and D. Kind of holding my breath here.

now that i think about it, i dont love that move for atlanta...

baker isn’t very highly regarded relative to a deep tackle class, and almost assuredly would’ve been available in the second round. oh well, he’s a good player and i should be happy about that.

oh, and

felix over mendenhall is just a patently unintelligent move. mendenhall is just way better.

Looks like Mendenhall is gone

Now he’s on the phone… but do the Steelers need him? They have Willie Parker…
