It was between Fulton and Barden. I knew that the Eagles needed more help on the o-line and that I could maybe get him in the 4th. Looks like that isn't happening.

OL always goes crazy fast in the CP mocks...not that I'm shocked :)

That's what I figured would happen. If I waited on o-line until the 4th....there wouldn't be anybody good left.

Same reason I felt I needed to take Urbik.

It was a solid pick. So solid IMO, even though it was probably a reach in the eyes of many that I almost took him over Luigs knowing he wouldn't last. I think Xavier's best football days are in front of him. I was hoping he'd slide to the Bears in the 4th.

The Falcons still need another OLB to replace the players lost to free agency and cuts, and could use some added depth at OT, but the players available at those positions just don't offer good value at this pont in the draft, at least not from where I sit.

So I'm going to go with another kid I've been high on since the start of the season with this pick.

He's a guy who isn't as fast as you'd like to see on the clock, but he seems to just find ways to get things done and make plays as a pass rusher and a run defender, and he can give both John Abraham and Jamaal Anderson some snaps off to keep them fresh.

With the 90th pick of the 2009 Chiefsplanet mock draft, the Falcons select Matt Shaughnessy, DE, Wisconsin

Living 15 minutes south of San Louis Obispo, I've seen Barden live a couple of times, and he runs a little stiff, and needs to learn some route discipline, but I think the kid has huge upside.

It's about time to add comp picks, right?

I really, really hate this pick.

None of the people at the top of my board fit what the Giants need and what they want to do.

I will need more time. Be back in a bit.

I'd trade up if I could. There's someone I really want for the Titans.

The owners meeting is this weekend - the picks will be released then.

I'm in favor of putting things on hold for a few days and using the official picks.

Fine with me. I'm just chomping at the bit because I know I'm going to get a good one for the Chargers losing Michael Turner.

Not that it changes things for the Chargers, but remember how compensatory picks work:

It's not necessarily who you lose, it's how many FA's you lose in relation to the number of FA's you sign.

Are we going to finish off this round and then wait until they're announced?

Here are the projections if people would rather use these. Either way is fine with me:
