It sucks, I usually stay up real late and sleep in, cause I work at night at sporting events. But recently, Ive just been getting tired from work and crashing when I get home. I think the weather is taking a toll as well. Just been tired for 3 weeks straight now.

I'm not sure it's the weakest, I just think it's because their are so many solid D-lineman

That and RBs are becoming less and less valuable because most teams split carries between two backs. No need to pay 1st round money to a part-time player.

12 DLinemen taken...and Bowers still on the board. If Green Bay doesn't take him I have to imagine there will be a bunch of teams looking to trade up to grab him early. And look who's sitting at #33, the kings of draft pick trades the New England Patriots.

I like that pick. I didn't think DE was a major need, I'll take it. Heyward is a standup guy, I hope he pans out.

Finally over (though that went a lot faster than I thought it would). Off to bed. Probably wont be able to watch the second/third round tomorrow either.

I just think that Da'Quan Bowers is a Montario Hardesty type of risk...great potential, but significant injury concerns.

Sherrod to GB ... weird, the ESPN.com feed said they picked Bowers. I dunno. Understand that the line is getting older but ... I'm not uber excited about him.

I don't see too many teams being willing to give up more than a late round pick or two to move up for Bowers. There is too much risk to really give up much for that guy. Don't get me wrong, I hope he is there when Cleveland picks, but no way would I want them to give up anything more than a 5th rounder to move up.

But no third. It's only an 11 spot difference from where we would have been.

I'm on the Phil Taylor from Baylor train though.
