Greg Olsen was picked 31. Todd Heap was picked 31.

Coincidence? I think not. Bears picked a winner.

Troy Smith.

What with the Heisman and all.

[Typical Phenom]

As I mentioned previously, the Raiders getting Jamarcus Russell and Dwayne Jarrett? Lane Kiffin's smiling. Only Indy stands in the way.

[JStarr]

Colts have to be looking at Chris Houston or David Harris next.

Raiders...definitely a USC receiver, either Jarrett or Smith. Or hell, maybe they're the ones to take the shot at Branch.

[ACCBiggz]

I have Harris for the Colts, but with Houston dropping to them, he could definatly be put in there.

[Mr Evil Guy]

Edwards will be the QB drafted by the Lions.

Probably your safest bet, to.

[JStarr]

I think I'd rather see them take Houston...their secondary's gotten totally raped in free agency. The Colts, not the Lions, I mean.

Smith is a late 3rd-4th rounder.

Troy Smith will not be a good NFL player. You can quote me on that. He's much too short for the position and isn't talented enough. A good parallel is Eric Crouch: Heisman Trophy Winner, speedy and had a decent arm. Got drafted and faded out. Smith will be playing in Arena Football or CFL in the next 3-4 years.

Don't get me wrong, he was very good in college, but its a different game in the NFL.

First two picks of Round 2, very interesting.

Cards trade up to take a big chance on Branch. Bills trade up to take Posluszny, another bust or boom type player in my opinion. Good to see some teams taking chances though.

Alan Branch finally goes, to Arizona with the 33rd pick. Damn you TP, I wanted to be first with one!

Blech at comparing Troy Smith and Eric Crouch. Crouch sucked so much, it's not even funny. Him winning the Heisman was the worst thing ever.

Bears should trade down from here... then get another pick in the 2nd and take LaMarr Woodley

What's that? I don't care if we have enough DL... I love him!

[Hellfire]

You can continue to debate whether Smith will be successful, but if you're going to compare him, Crouch is way off.

[ACCBiggz]

Bears to take either Jarrett or Harris?

Alright, now Dallas' drafting is annoying me. I know Jerry Jones thinks the team could have lined up yesterday and played, but we still have needs. Now I was actually excited about the prospect of getting Brady Quinn, but we have Romo and want to see how he pans out, and we robbed the Browns of their first round pick next year, which will almost certainly be in the top 12.

My problem begins with trading back up and giving up the second rounder we got from Cleveland. Was defensive end a glaring need? Not in my eyes. We have Spears and Canty, and while they haven't been spectacular, they've both had some injuries, but they aren't exactly busts. Linebacker/DE hybrids, we've got Ware and Ellis, who before he went down was playing wonderfully at his new spot. Now I know once Ellis went down that side of the defense struggled, but the cowboys are still stocked at LBs and Carpenter and Kevin Burnett could have filled in if Ellis or Ware goes down.

Spencer is a good pickup, and will probably end up replacing Canty on one side at DE, but I don't think DE was a glaring need for the Cowboys, and they are certainly better stocked there then they are at DT, Safety and certainly wide reciever.

Giving up the Browns second round choice means we won't select again till the 50s and we'll be left with the bottom end of the top 15-20 recievers, most likely finding someone who's about as good as Patrick Clayton, certainly not the game breaker we'll need in the next few years.

Of course my compaints are pretty null and void, as the cowboys will have 2 first rounders next year and will almost certainly be using of them to acquire a wide reciever somehow.
