USA back out in front thanks to a Met and a Phillie.

Yeah, I doubt it'd be that hard to pry him away from the Orioles.

What a way to start the game by Roberts!

I can see that with Lewis. I think both are 2nd-3rd round guys, but neither is likely a shutdown, #1 type either.

Here are a few of the top players at each spot: QB: Rhett Bomar (Sam Houston St), Nate Davis (Ball St), Graham Harrell (TTU) RB: Donald Brown (UConn), Shonn Greene (Iowa), Javon Ringer (MSU), James Davis (Clem) WR: Brandon Tate (UNC), Juaquin Iglesias (OU), Kevin Ogletree (UVA), Mohammed Mossaquoi (UGA) TE: Shawn Nelson (SMU), Chase Coffman (Mizzou), Travis Beckum (Wisc) OG: Herman Johnson (LSU), Trevor Canfield (Cincy), Louis Vazquez (TTU) OT: Gerald Cadogan (PSU), Fenuki Tupou (Oreg) C: Jonathan Luigs (Ark), Antoine Caldwell (Bama), AQ Shipley (PSU) DE: Paul Kruger (Utah), Matt Shaughnessy (Wisc), Brandon Williams (TTU) DT: Chris Baker (Hamp), Ricky Jean-Francois (LSU), Terrance Taylor (UM), Dorrell Scott (Clem) OLB: Jonathan Casillas (Wisc), Tyrone McKenzie (USF), Gerald McRath (USM) ILB: Darry Beckwith (LSU), Dannell Ellerbee (UGA), Worrell Williams (Cal) CB: Keenan Lewis (Or St), Mike Mickens (Cincy), Coye Francies (SJSU) S: Chip Vaughn (WF), David Bruton (ND), Michael Hamlin (Clem) Running back, corner, center and guard are probably the strongest, deepest spots right now. Receiver is a little top heavy, but lacking depth. QB is a big question mark after Bomar. OT is weak at best, tight end is solid, DE is ok, DT is decently deep and OLB is pretty good. I like the ILBs left, but that could be my SEC bias. Safety I'm not real sure about - don't know much about the guys left. For the Raiders, I'd probably look at interior offensive line or corner. Hope that helps. Herman Johnson and Jonathan Luigs are the best player still available, imo, if you want interior OL. The corners are nothing to write home about. And WR and RB is the best position right now looking at that list. I like Luigs and Johnson a lot too. I do like the corners, however. Mickens, I think, has a chance to be a second round pick - as does Lewis. Francies is an interesting player with character issues. Running back is definitely strong and I like the top couple of WRs (Tate and Iglesias), but am a little iffy on Ogletree and Mossaquoi. Both are talented, but both have consistency issues.

Not a problem.

mhuber and Seattle are now on the clock. I PMd him.

Handlebar and the Chiefs are now on the clock. I PMd him.

I know a lot have maligned it, but I've really enjoyed the WBC this year.

I'm with ya vance. I have UNC in the Elite 8 but I wouldn't complain one bit. Yeah, it'd destroy my bracket, but that's ok.

I'm with ya vance.

Nice pick. reggiemiller rules is now on the clock for the Rams and I PMd him.

The Bears have signed S Glenn Earl, who is making a comeback after mending from a Lisfranc injury in his foot.

No sign of AI after a little over 24 hours, so I'll make the pick for him, I guess. The Steelers addressed their offensive line depth/youth with the first round pick, so with this one they should probably get a little younger on the defensive line. They've got a trio of great D-linemen, but they're all getting rather old. So, the Steelers select DT Fili Moala from USC. Moala's motor has been questioned, but he's worth a shot at the end of the second round. He's probably closer to an early 2nd value and there's not a lot else on the Dline besides him. In Pitt's 3-4 defense, he could potentially play either DT or DE, whichever they feel he fits more appropriately. Cro Magnon and the Lions are now up to begin the third round. I PMd him.

I have Pitt winning it all, but I still want ETSU to win.

I love it. Let's see if AI and the Steelers can keep it up. I'll PM him.

I was really torn with this decision. I never dreamed Keenan Lewis and Mike Mickens would fall to this spot, so I hadn't strongly considered either for the Titans until recently. So that made my decision with this pick that much more difficult. That said, I really like this player and think he'd fight the Titans defensive system well with some development. So, the Titans select OLB Marcus Freeman from Ohio State. Freeman is very fast and athletic, has a big enough frame to bulk up a bit more and is a tough linebacker. He needs to get a bit stronger and bigger and learn to shed blocks better, but he's solid in coverage and makes an exceptional special teams player. He'll do well adding depth to the roster and developing behind Bulluck and Thornton. Flames and CubFanNotBudMan are now on the clock with Arizona's pick. I'll PM them.

So close . . . .

Wouldn't be a Tennessee game this season without this. Wonder how they'll end it.

Four fouls on Byron Eton. That's very good.

No real surprise, but this UT/OK St game is a roller coaster.

If you're looking DT, it'd be incredibly hard to pass up on Sen'Derrick Marks at this point, I'd think.

And, with Skyballer's blessing, I'll announce the Giants' pick. New York needs help in the secondary and with depth on the offensive line and there's a pretty solid guard still sitting on the board here. So, the Giants select guard Kraig Urbik from Wisconsin. CCP and Exile are now on the clock with the Colts' pick. I'll PM them.

Your work sounds like a prison That's what I thought. Lunch off campus for a day? Sounds like an Office Space type company. Oh, and remember: next Friday... is Hawaiian shirt day. So, you know, if you want to, go ahead and wear a Hawaiian shirt and jeans.
