4. Jerry Angelo is a complete dumbass. The trade down put the Bears in great position to come out big, and they ended up taking the 5th best available corner in Manning, a guy who plays neither offense nor defense in Hester, and a reach at a non need position on Dvoracek.


7. The Raiders need to stop taking DBs. Period. Over the past six years, they have taken Derrick Gibson, Phillip Buchanon, Nnamdi Asomugha, Fabian Washington, and Michael Huff in the first, Stanford Routt in the 2nd, and Schwiegert in the 3rd. Gibson, Buchanon, and Asomugha will never be anything, and Routt will never be more than a nickelback. They won't improve until they address somewhere else. They did get Thomas Howard to save face.

8. How many times can you screw up if you are Buffalo. They got some decent players, but at what cost? The 2nd round? Youboty saved face, but given 4 picks in the top 74, they should come away with more than Youboty, Whitner, and McCargo. They didn't touch the offensive side. Well, I'm not keeping Willis McGahee in fantasy, thats for sure.

THANK YOU. I've been looking for a grilling partner to help me with Buffalo all day. Nice observation about the Eagles catching a break but I think thats due more too the surplus of clueless GMs in the league and the Eagles just simpily captializing on the best player available. I agree with you that Angelo wasn't exactly the sharpest knife in the droor today but thats because he hasn't picked a TE in a draft loaded with talented TE's, and I don't know about you but Desmond Clark doesn't exactly cause D-Cordinators to lose sleep. As for the Raiders.... Al Davis has made me scratch my head more times than not, and your right, maybe the Raiders haven't been the best at picking DB's as of late, but Michael Huff was one of my favorite prospects in the draft due to his combination of athletic ablility, smarts, and versatility. The Raiders finally picked an exceptional DB.
