The First Day of the Draft

So, the first three rounds of the NFL Draft are in the books, and the NYG picked up a DE, WR, and a LB. The DE was a huge surprise on big blue but folks seemed happy with the Moss pick. I know nothing about the LB they got at the end of the third round. Today they have four picks, and I imagine they'll go CB, QB, RB, DE. But then again, I thought they'd take DeAngelo Williams if he was available in the first, so what do I know?

As far as how teams did, I was impressed at how the Jets got two potentially awesome linemen - Pro Bowl potential, really - and I am also concerned that the Eagles did very well getting Justice. Bunkley doesn't scare me so much. I don't know why, but FSU dlinemen don't frighten me.

It was interesting to see Leinart go #10. He was such a golden boy for so long - had he come out last year, he may have been the overall pick. Then it was the "Who will go first, ML or RB?" debate. Well, Matt, sorry, but you're in the desert behind Kurt Warner. Prepare to lose.

People are calling Matt a "loser," but he'll be making more guaranteed money on his contract than I will ever see in my lifetime...unless I really do write The Great American Novel.

Some folks on bbi are saying they want Anwar Phillips out of PSU, my alma mater, but there's no way we draft him. He had major "character issues" as it's called, and I doubt he's even ON the NYG's draft board. Watch: we'll draft him and I'll be wrong again.

Stay tuned...
