it is definitely fun, the waiting is excruciating though, esp. when they pop out the most unexpected picks, like the Buehler one, then after that you don't know what to expect

Last small school LB that went from no name to combine hero was a guy named Demarcus Ware, turned out well.
I have no prejudice against small school players, nor do i care what pundits say about them, Jay Ratliff was probably the best defensive lineman in the 2005 draft but he went in the 7th round.
Bradie James has second round talent but went in the fourth while his injury prone counterpart Kevin Burnett went in the second and probably should've waited until the fourth.
If anything this new crop of LBs signals clearly to the amiable but underachieving Bobby Carpenter that it is do or die in training camp, akso the talented but aging and always disgruntled Greg Ellis will have to show up to compete for his roster spot.

Honestly I'm not thrilled with this draft, by any means at all, but i'm not as disappointed as I feared I would be after the first couple of picks today. I was swimming at my families, then had football practice for 3 hours after that, so I missed the rest of the draft but from what I see we got I'm ok with it.
Though I'm somewhat surprised by the kicker cause I thought one of the things that Mickey was spinning, all the time last year, was that you couldn't afford to carry two kickers on the game day roster and now we're drafting a guy for his kickoff ability? I guess carrying 2 isn't as big a deal as it's always made out to be, or something.
I do kind of like the pick of Manuel Johnson late. I think he's an under-rated receiver at OU so hopefuly he can turn into a nice #3 for us at some point.
