I bet you are happy as that Millen isn't around to this one up.
Please don't draft either OT at #1. Rather have Stafford, warts and all, or even Curry. Figures they'd have #1 pick in such a weak draft class.
BTW, I just read Harvin may be in play @ 7. Please make that happen.
Love ya, Al.

There is no ing way the Raiders draft Harvin at 7. I'd be going absolutely crazy. Give me Monroe or Smith.
Jason Smith is going to the Rams at 2.
The Texans should move up and get one of the OT. If they could have a decent offensive line they could finally do something.
I wish these espn bags would stop hyping Heward-Bey. He needs to fall to 27.
There is no way they give anything up to move up. Their line will be okay next season. It's the second year of the ZBS and Duane Brown will have a year experience under his belt.
What a ed up system. Stafford signs a 6 year deal, $78 million total, $41.7 million guaranteed.
Rams are now on the clock.
Damn 78 million total. That's ing ridiculous.
The $78 million is just bull . It's the $42 million guaranteed that'll them if he can't play.
Throwing stupid money at a QB is still smarter than taking OL with the #1 overall pick. Good choice by the LionsNow if they have been doing their homework, they can rebuild their line with their other 1st day picks.
I can't wait for a rookie cap to come into play. Of course then, every first round pick would feel they are worth the max rookie deal.
No doubt he was the right pick in my mind. But god damn the rookie deals are outrageous. It's the market, though, so I can't get down on the Lions for giving it to him.
Curry is a very good LBer but giving him $30+ mil guaranteed would have been even stupider. He would have been the highest paid LBer in the game at the price it would have taken to sign him.
And didn't Jerry Jones start all this re ed rookie contract with Aikman?
Also, Peter King reports there's some rumors that New England is trying to get a late top-10 pick from Green Bay or Jacksonville.
Seems like something that goes against what Belichick is all about, but it makes sense. This is the year everybody is trying desperately to get out of the top 10, so he might get in there for cheap. And Kraft has the money to afford signing a pick like that. Don't know if I like the idea all that much, but if a guy like Orakpo or Crabtree falls, it might be worth it.
The Pats are more interested in Tyson JAckson than Orakpo or Crabs. Orakpo has fallen to third as far as 3-4 LB players go, behind Maybin and Jackson.
Jackson seems likely, but I don't know if he's a Belichick guy. Hasn't gotten much praise for his football IQ. I'd rather they stay out of the top 10 than go for Jackson, but I'd love to see them grab Orakpo or Crabtree.
Jackson may go as high as 3. Curry is going to drop out of the top 5 IMO.
Then again, Tyson's dreads could be a factor, Belichick likes the dreads. Maroney, Meriweather, Mayo were his last 3 first round picks.
IF Curry is there at 7, the Raiders HAVE to draft him. They've been missing a SLB for so long now. I don't understand how the BPA can fall to 7, but I hope he does. And Curry could be worth a high price for a team who wants him.
Man, I am like so excited for the draft. I don't even know how I'm going to sleep tonight.
That would be a huge boost for the Raiders. If it happens, hopefully Al doesn't screw it up.
According to idiot bloggers, the Raiders want DHB at 7. I think it's more of people just labeling Al than actually having a good reason to draft him. But, if the Raiders do draft him at 7, just give me the gun. I wouldn't be able to take it. I'd be absolutely livid. Probably more pissed than that time they traded up for Fabian Washington.
No way Curry drops out of the top 5...dude is a beast..
A lot of mock drafts I've seen have the Raiders picking up Crabtree at 7.
Sucks the Lions fell into the pressure of taking the QB at #1. There are a few QBs in next year's draft that I like just as much if not more than Stafford. One of the more pressing needs should have been addressed with the #1.
Hopefully, they go OT, DT, and ILB in whatever order with their next three picks in the top 65.
It just needs to be tomorrow already. I can't even sleep thinking about tomorrow.
