Yeah, Parker missed his pick.
Since several people seem to think that Jamaal Charles is the pick here..... The Cowboys select Jamaal Charles, RB, Texas If htismaqe wants to change the pick before Marco Polo picks, he's more than welcome. The Patriots are on the clock..... |

With the Patriots getting the potential steal of the draft in round one in having the top OL fall in their lap, they look again to get a steal at the end of the 2nd round. With an early pick in the 3rd round and what with value is out there is some need positions, they can afford to not go with CB with this pick. With their aging LB unit, there is clearly a value pick available as Virginia Tech OLB Xavier Adibi has been ranked as a possible early to mid 2nd round pick. One thing is for certain, he won't be lasting to the 3rd round.
With the 62nd pick in the 2008 NFL Draft, the New England Patriots select OLB Xavier Adibi, Virginia Tech. The New York Giants are on the clock... |

While I think Jake Long was a steal, I don't think Abidi was. I think he's fair value here, but I don't think he's any major steal.
Good pick for them, though. |

My five best players on the board, for god's sakes. They're almost all linebackers.
1. DE/OLB Shawn Crable (Michigan) 2. OLB Erin Henderson (Maryland) 3. OT Tony Hills (Texas) 4. MLB Beau Bell (UNLV) 5. MLB Phil Wheeler (Georgia Tech) |

So -
Who the LOWEST rated player on your board that has already been selected? Mine is Brad Cottam at # 97, followed by Jordy Nelson at #90. |

Oh I can't tell you where I actually have people ranked, because I don't have people rated on a board individually, I have "levels" that I keep players on.
The biggest reaches to me seem to be the Broncos selecting Kenny Phillips at #12 by the Broncos (when in my opinion he's a second-rounder), Joe Flacco at #37 by the Ravens (he should have been taken deep into the 3rd at best), and of course Jordy Nelson at #51 by the Redskins (when he's justified anywhere in the 4th round, but nowhere before then). |

I will say that Mecca's onto something about people overvaluing OL in this Draft because of the Chiefs needs. Not just OT, but OG too, as I think milkman may have gone over the deep end with his selections. I think Albert's a reach in the 1st and I think Rachal's a reach in the 2nd.
On the other side of the coin, a lot of teams are undervaluing LB in this Draft because the Chiefs are more solid at LB than virtually any other position this year (although, to be sure, they could use an upgrade). |

I just absolutely don't think you go interior line in the 1st, period. Unless it's a guy you're 100% sure is going to be All Pro, and I don't know if I could ever be that certain with an OG.
I think, because he is so especially talented, he'd be worth a look in the 2nd at the absolute earliest. Rachal's not even the second best OG I have on the board, so he might actually go under who I think would be one of the biggest reaches in this Draft. I'd go Heath Benedict (who is an OT but can master OG), Roy Schuening, Eric Young, or even Rachal's teammate Radovich. |

I was actually going to take a LB with the Jags 2nd round pick but I knew that they needed a safety badly...and that Morgan might not last to my 3rd round pick.

that's been my thinking all along this draft is deep at the o line. As the panther's i've been mostly picking on best available talent. Brohm honestly I like and i'm not sold on the miller kid they got last year. Delhome maybe done. the mayo pick was all value dn't know where he would fall. I'm not gonna give away too much either but there is 2nd round talent still available in this next round. I think there have been some reaches but I tried not to panic and pick only needs. |

I hope we go more rounds cause i don't want to stop this is fun. If this draft keeps falling the way it is I might get some steals here.

Expect the Steelers to target James Hardy or Limas Sweed if he falls after Ben's comments about wanting a big WR....
Guard can easily be had with their 2nd pick. |
