***SPIN ALERT***They lost two positions that could have been traded. Sure they may have saved some $$ but they lost some valuable draft currency. They blew it plain and simple.

Thanks for the link.I would have preferred to hear why he is 3rd. (and why he ranked Boller higher than Leftwich)I don't see a huge difference in Kiel and Van Buren picks I think both were names that weren't huge, and I feel went too high.

I remember arguments over should Onterrio or Simms go in round 1. Now they might not even go on Day 1. Wierd, yo.

i think philly should jump all over a running back. which one i dont know, but i bet they did not think they would be able to get one here. they should go RB in my mind!!!

Sounds like they had their card on the table but the Ravens were too slow.Now why you don't have TWO cards for either situation is another question.But these are football minds here, after all.

Titans up with Suggs and O. Smith available. They take Chris Brown.

Chris Brown - Titans

Footballguy
This pick actually makes a lot of sense to me. Eddie is getting old and Chris Brown is a very similar back.

Not that Chris Brown though. This Chris Brown is a defensive player for UAB.

Wrong Chris Brown though, not the RB....hmmm...odd day for sure today.

philly, oakland, and tampa could all take RB's here and in everyone's mind they would be a steal here. posible starters too given a year or even this year given injury. wow.

Unfortunately, he's not going to be running against that Husker Defense every week.

hahahaha Thats just the perfect end of the day. Poor RBs.
From a fantasy standpoint, this draft stinks. So far, very late in the third round, only five RBs have been taken. One is a FB with minimal fantasy value, one won't play this year and must battle a top ten RB for a starting job next year, and the other two were drafted by teams with top ten RBs. The consensus #1 RB out of college (besides McGahee who won't play this year) gets drafted by the team with the #1 RB last year. And the fifth one (just selected Chris Brown), I know very little about, but he probably will be a top five selection by dynasty drafters this year.

C'mon NFL! Draft these RBs before Martz is up for two picks in a row tomorrow at 106 & 107. He's gonna take O. Smith if he is there. Please take him first!!

nfl.com screwed up...

Crowell for the Bills is a baaad pick. 
He's too short and slow to play outside and he'd be the #3 ILB behind Fletch and Brandon Short....odd, very odd.

His size and footwork reminded me a lot of Eddie. I know Brown is not the same receiving threat, but as a runner he immediately reminded me of Eddie.

thanks, did not care to look in the profile.
Fargas definitely has the potential to take over for Garner when he's done, but I don't think Garner's numbers will take that much of a hit this season.On the other hand, I think that Fargas just landed in the perfect situation for a player with his skills, and makes a great pickup in a dynasty league.
Bills don't have Brandon Short, but do have Brandon Spoon coming back off a serious injury...Crowell could backup Spikes at weakside backer and Fletcher and Spoon at MLB, and he also should be a force on special teams.Crowell for the Bills is a baaad pick.

From what I see so far in this draft, I have no way knowing whom I'm going to get with the 1.10 pick in our free agent/rookie draft starting Saturday next week. So many RB's are going to teams where they will battle for the #2 RB spot.Perhaps I'll have to seek a trade.....
CanadianNFLJunkie
Footballguy
OOPS thank's AaronR that is who I meant, SPOOOON, but still Crowell is too slow for my liking to play outside and even still, he's going to back-up an All-Pro. Not a good pick but then Donahoe/Modrak know their stuff.As for McGahee, it should be very interesting on how the contract talks go here. Donahoe is a tough cookie.

hopefully one of them is going to Detroit @ 4.02Damn Raiders! Vargas gone and now that leaves O. Smith to Dallas

I unfortunately missed some of the draft coverage, but after reading this I feel like I watched every minute of it. Outstanding coverage.
RedRaiders
Mr. +EV
The Lions should seriously consider Onterrio Smith tomorrow - good season before getting banged up - outstanding player healthy and I don't think we've seen the best out of him yet (remember he took over for Morris the year prior late and then was banged up this year).

WR David Kircus is a big time sleeper!He isn't big or fast but he had a great Hula bowl where he was wide open and caught everything in site. He reminds me of another slow, small white kid by the name of Steve Largent who had a pretty decent NFL career.Detroit is having a great draft! Here comes the Lions!
I wasn't going to say anything being a Lions fan, but I was thinking that they would take Kircus at some point. I like the kid and think he has some potential down the road. Two Michigan WRs in the draft!WR David Kircus is a big time sleeper!He isn't big or fast but he had a great Hula bowl where he was wide open and caught everything in site.
