    really? i mean i understand u have Parker, but Mendenhall is a beast and a steal. ur running game just got that much better.

    It does seem like a stange pick with Fast Willie and Davenport already there. I think O-Line was a bigger need for the Steelers but I guess there was no O-lineman left on the board who they could justify taking with the 23rd pick.

    You are right though... Mendenhall does look great and fell a lot further than expected.

    I don't like Dallas taking Jones. I was hoping for Mike Jenkins at 22 and then Chris Johnson at 28.
    i hope jenkins is still there at 28. i agree with the jones thing. if they wanted a kick/punt returner we shoulda went with jackson outta cal
    And he still gives his love, he just gives it away, The love he receives is the love that is saved, And sometimes is seen a strange spot in the sky, A human being that was given to fly

    if Jenkins is there at 28 WE MUST JUMP ON IT. But I wouldn't be surprised if the Texans take him.

    and I'm not TOO BIG on Desean Jackson, but we'll see.

    that had to be the case, or maybe Willie will be asking for the $bank$ soon?

    running game is not much help with no one to block for them.

    haha yes i know, although i don't think Mendenhall needs blocking because he's built like a tank.

    Yeah, I think he is a good back, I just wish the Steelers had traded up for a lineman, or traded down for more picks- either would have been better for them

    i was hoping the Eagles would have selected him, end our redzone problems. We just traded our 4th rd pick to the Phins for Lorenzo Booker. :rolleyes:

    damn so now we don't have a 2nd or a 4th. crap. so we're done today unless we trade back into the 2nd round. damn I guess 3rd round might be a receiver. I wouldn't mind picking up Jordy Nelson from KSU tomorrow.

    Two good things about this draft- the speed of the first round, and all the trades so far.
