I'm willing to forgive the Sweed pick if Young can somehow play OT effectively at the next level. A lot of boards have him doing that but I just don't think he's athletic enough.

Other than that, I panned the first pick myself. I didn't really like how Sandy Limpdick set me up. Winston Justice gets blown up by Usi Omenyora (sp?) and Limpdick passes on Chris Williams in the 1st for Limas Sweed. Oy.

Because they were scooped up so fast I couldn't find a single OT I liked in the later rounds.

Young is going to play guard in the NFL.

that's my problem too direckshun with the panthers I know when my draft gets gradded I'm gonna get a bad one cause I didn't take a OT. But I went for BPA no matter position. I didn't feel like I had to gamble for a decent OT when I could get someone who is great that fell to my pic.


I'm scared to see my grades cause unfortunately some people on the board here don't know some of the guys I picked. The Trevor Scott pick is probably gonna get the worst draft pick lable. But the kid is still learning the position and has tremendous potential.

I might take a OT with the panthers pick but I don't think I'm reaching for one.

It's time to shock the world...

You're taking Dennis Dixon aren't you?

Three black QBs on one team. That would be something.

You know, I've agonized over this pick, but it's one I just have to make for the Vikings, given the talent that is still there. I know I've already spent a pick trying to improve their interior line, well, if this sonfoabitch pans out, he could be a replacement for the overpaid and overrated Bryant McKinnie.

He has a lot of question marks, but he has a monkey's assload of talent.

The Minnesota Vikings select King Dunlap, OT, Auburn.

Ok now I'm gonna throw some stuff up here because I know how everyone seemed to hate my Bess pick, and Bess is a player I personally like quite a bit...

Firstly I'll do a scouting report.....

Height: 5-97/8 | Weight: 194 | 40-Time: 4.69

Strengths:
A smooth athlete...Adequate size and bulk...Very good hands...Is more quick than fast...An excellent route runner...Agile with good change of direction...Elusive with good vision and runs well after the catch...Nice instincts and awareness..Has a lot of experience...Tough and fearless..Offers some return potential...Very productive.

Weaknesses:
Doesn't have very good timed speed...Not a big play threat and won't stretch the field vertically...Is not very physical...Sub par blocker...Will have to adjust to a pro style offense...Some character concerns..Upside might be limited at the next level.

Notes:
Was originally slated to attend Oregon State out of high school in '03 but ran into some off-the-field trouble and he was sentenced to 15 months in a juvenile facility for receiving stolen property...Was at least in part a product of the Warriors Run & Shoot offense...Not quite the pro prospect his numbers and press clippings would lead you to believe..At most he profiles as a #3 or #4 target and return specialist.

Followed with this video...

Now to me personally I think Bess will be a great slot guy, his skills are perfect for it plus he knows how to get open. He reminds me an awful lot of a young Troy Brown.

The Chargers with their pick will fill the hole left by Michael Turner with a player I personally like very much and think is very underrated and an excellent value at this pick..

The Chargers select Cory Boyd, RB South Carolina.

Has bdeg been pm'ed?

Mecca, Boyd has some big shoes to fill in SD. If he's all you say he is you did a good job of filling a big need for SD with a very late pick.

ok where is bdeg

BDeg probably shouldn't have signed up to do the extended draft.

has he missed every pick?

I just know he missed the last pick, someone else picked for him.

I'm pretty sure he's just missed the last pick.

OTW is a lot more forgiving than I am on this stuff -- of course bdeg still has three hours at this point, but if you miss two picks in a row, I'd can you.
