Yeah, you'll be fine.

Pollack will have to find a position. Odell Thurman is a hard, pipe swingin nigga. If they keep him off the streets, he'll be awesome. Otherwise, he may rape himself out of the league.

The Falcons NEVER draft UGA guys. Sucks. I wasn't very impressed by what we did. Roddy White? Jesus. I guess this Babineaux kid looks alright, but Roddy Fucking White??????

Yeah, and the Eags wasted their pick on Reggie Brown. good luck OPA! homeboy's been dropping balls for us for 4 years.

I guess this adds Cincy to one of the teams I have to follow. Pollack is a solid dude and a solid citizen, but yeah, you goy an uncaged beast in Odell. I wouldn't bring my wife or my wallet to the stadium :shock:

I guess Dallas wanted to beef up the front four, and I like both those picks, but I would have liked to see them do what the Pack did, and get an understudy for QB...I guess this means they thing Henson is the future. I hope they are right.

49ers are mired ina 80s-90s mindset and are somehow institutionally incapable of adaptation to the realities of the league. Damen - They need help EVERYWHERE, and taking Smith reeks of a team grasping at straws to return to a certain type of glory, not just glory, IMO.

Flacs did OK Kurtz. apparently yr. boy Roddy White's stock was on the rise, but it was strange to me, though not as strange as the Vikes pick at #7.

But what are they gonna do? I'm not high on Smith but I just don't see an obvious alternative. I know they tried to shop the pick. I wish they could've landed multi picks for him or a really solid vet & a pick. This draft sucks plain & simple, some were saying worst in 10 years so no one wanted #1. I wish they would've gotten a slam dunk contributor but who is that?

I still think that a healthy Newberry, plus Kwame Harris at RT instead of LT & adding Jonas Jennings at LT is gonna be huge. I know I said it before but I can't stress that enough. Your O-line sucks, you're team sucks. And that was there biggest issue last year along with injuries. This wasn't a healthy team that lost 14 times last year, I think they were 3rd in man games lost to injury. They'll punt a whole hell of a lot less & take a lot of pressure off the D which if they're healthy isn't as bad as the stats show last year. I mean take away your Pro Bowl LBer & 3 DB's due to injury from a team that has no O-Line & you're gonna suck.

They play 11 winnable games so I think winning 8 isn't out of the question.

But with no clear frqanchise QB in this draft, why not take a true franchise back or receiver(Edwards, Brown, C.Williams, etc.), knowing full well that you will suck next year and therefore have a legit shot at Matt Linehart----then with some more upgrades, you might have a shot.

NOT! The 49'ers keep letting too many defensive pieces go even after they spent like 3 or 4 drafts in a row building that D. That franchise is doomed. Good luck. The Cardinals will beat you like a gong soon. Bad day soon come.

Matt Jones is the new Mike Jones. Discuss.

Browns didn't need a WR or safety the most, but they were the best available and arguably the best at each position. Frye ain't a franchise QB, but the MAC has a pretty good track record for a mid-major conference (Leftwich, Roethlisberger).

I keep telling myself that if we had picked McNabb and Arrington we would still suck. Sometimes it works.

When I talked to Yail on Saturday he asked me where I thought Matt Jones would go, and if the Falcs should pick him were he available, and I said "MATT JONES!! MATT JONES!! HE WHITE, HE FAST!! MATT JONES!!"

So you are quite correct, sir.

Matt Leinart IMO is no better than the crop available this year. And he knew that, that's why he hung around. Not once in his press conf or any interviews did he mention the word "education".

Some teams didn't even have Edwards rated as the #1 receiver available.

Of the 8 victories I'm hoping for this season I have 2 penciled in vs Zona.
