If he hasn't pick by noon today

I will do it if you want, otherwise, someone else can take it if they want it.

I’m picking 2nd, i’ll also take the Broncos for my 2nd team if you’d like. Dont think anyone has claimed them if i’m not mistaken.

Lastly, where exactly would you like us to post the picks?

I'll start an email chain at noon...

Personally,

I think the Lions shock the world and try to trade down…. brand new GM and all that. (Am I allowed to say “GM”, even though the Fords own them?)

GM: He may be new, but he's been with the Lions

Which is why I cannot see the Lions picking a QB at #1, too much pressure to get it right. I should or someone should go see what are the succes rates of other positions to QB my guess is that line man are better choices. Which is the direction I think the Lions will go, which would leave open the question of a QB. I’m hoping they choose to trade back into the first round to capture one of the three top QBs in this years draft, which provides a potential opporutnity for a Redskins trade down.

Robert Gallery comes to mind, as he

was a #2 overall pick, and he’s mostly been a giant bust.

Bust YES! but he's also on the Raiders, who hasn't been a BUST (oh my)!

Which could also explain the QB bust Russel in 07 at #1
Taking a line either Offensive or Defensive seems to pay off better than other positions.
Since 2000 # 1 and # 2s
Jake long, Chris Long, Mario Williams, Gallery, Peppers, Leonard Davis, Courtney Brown
QBs
Russel, Alex Smith, Eli, Palmer, Carr,Vick
WR/RB
Calvin Johnson, Ronnie Brown, Charles Rogers
LB/other
Lavar Arrington

LB is the best bet it appears 1 for 1, 50:50 shot on QBs, about 70:30 for line man…Stay away from WR/RB
my 2 cents…..but less than a pence.

1:1

is much too small a sample size.

Also, I would argue that the Raiders actually would have been better off drafting the giant bust pictured above. She’s a lot more useful than Robert Gallery.

THAT

my friends… is indeed,

a giant BUST!

The scary thing is,

they’re 100% natural.

Suppose...

Lions pick OT, Rams pick OT.
Now the Chiefs are left with a huge dilemma:
Do they pick the 3rd best OT (which they desperately need and who would be Oher or A. Smith) and overpay?
OR:
Do the Chiefs draft Stafford (who Todd Haley would rather have to groom under his own philosophy) and unload Cassel (McDaniels’ BOY) in a trade to Denver for their 12th pick (which would give KC a shot at Oher or A. Smith at a more reasonable price).
That will cause Denver, with Cassel and Cutler, to trade Cutler to the Redskins for either Campbell or Colt and our #13.
Washington will, in turn, trade either Campbell or Colt to Detroit for their #20 or #64 pick (depending on which QB it is).

This is

the same old debate over whether you pick your area of biggest need, or the best remaining player.

If that happened...

I think they’d take Curry and say thank you.

How ingenious

Scott Pioli would be, though, if he was able to trade Cassel for a #12 pick. Since he only gave up a 3rd round pick for Cassel, by trading him to Denver means he actually traded a 3rd round for a 1st round.

We should be playing Dallas in their new stadium for their first home game. What a way to begin the season by spanking the ’boys in the first game of their brand new stadium.

Furthermore, I would like to see the NFL have rivalry games on Thanksgiving. Lions vs. Bears, Packers vs. Bears, Redskins vs. Cowboys, Raiders vs. Broncos, etc.
