Collins that was harsh. Its fine though. I'm opinionated and have no problems voicing that.

Jpop, I am all partied out for today. It was one of my good friend's 21st birthday party last night so I had a pretty wild night ending at 5:30 in the morning. I am taking it easy today and spending some time with the girlfriend. Mifflin is fun and all but I had enough fun for the whole weekend last night!

Wow, seems like I missed a lot when I was eatinng breakfast.

What did Denver trade to get Cutler?

There's a little subtle recruting going on over there today.

PFT's take thus far...

WELCOME TO THE 2006 NFL DRAFT

1. Houston Texans: Mario Williams, DE, N.C. State

No surprises here. (At least no more surprises.)

2. New Orleans Saints: Reggie Bush, RB, USC

We still don't rule out a trade with the Jets or Packers for D'Brick or D'Hawk.

3. Tennesee Titans: Vince Young, QB, Texas

Floyd Reese wins again. Titans will continue to lose . . . .

4. New York Jets: D'Brickashaw Ferguson, OT, Virginia

Todd McShay was full of McSh-t, after all.

5. Green Bay Packers: A.J. Hawk, LB, THE Ohio State Place Where Guys Go To Play Football

NFC North gets another stud linebacker in the mold of Mike Ditka, Mike Singletary, Ray Nitschke, Brian Urlacher, and E.J. Henderson. (Just kidding about the last one.)

6. San Francisco 49ers: Vernon Davis, TE, Maryland

Stud tight end could pump up a bad offense.

7. Oakland Raiders: Michael Huff, S, Texas

Oakland seemingly ignores their need at play caller to draft a play maker on the other side of the ball.

Side Note: ESPN keeps cutting to footage of Leinart sitting at his table, a penny for his thoughts might reveal that he's wishing for a time machine to go back to last year where he would have gone first overall but hey, we all know about hindsight... Back to the draft coverage.

8. Buffalo Bills: Donte Whitner, S, Ohio State

Bills address one of many areas of need. (Too bad they can't draft an owner or G.M.)

9. Detroit Lions: Ernie Sims, LB, Florida State

We're shocked that coach Rod Marinelli passed on a wide body who could be another Warren Sapp, especially with Dan Wilkinson thinking about retiring.

10. Arizona Cardinals: Matt Leinart, QB, USC

Wow. Scary offense in 'Zona. Assuming Leinart can stay alive long enough to get rid of the ball, given the absence of, you know, competent blockers.

Meanwhile, a league insider tells us that Leinart's former agent, Leigh Steinberg, must feel like a guy who got whisked off of the Titanic right before it hit the iceberg. So much for Condon's supposed promise that Matt would go by No. 3.

11. Denver Broncos (from Rams): Jay Cutler, QB, Broncos.

Coach Kevlar puts a short leash on Jake.

12: Baltimore Ravens (from Browns): Haloti Ngata, DT, Oregon.

Ray-Ray gets a big-butt to help cover up his deteriorating game. Amazingly, two rivals franchises do some business.

Browns take Kimerion Wimbley...I have been forever turned against FSU D linemen, I think he'll be a bust.

[Rastak]

Kamerion Wimbley
OLB, Florida State

War Room analysis
Strengths: Shows an explosive first step and outstanding speed off the edge. Anticipates snap counts better than most prospects. Has the initial burst to beat offensive tackles without contact. Combines good quickness and agility with fluid hips and smooth change-of-direction skills. Shows a good closing burst to the quarterback. Against the run, works best in pursuit. Breaks down and changes direction without losing speed in transition. Takes good angles to the ball, and tackles well in open field. Shows potential to drop back and cover in zone-blitz situations. Shows good instincts, and excels at diagnosing misdirection plays. Gets upfield quickly when reading pass.

Weaknesses: Is too lean, and must add bulk. Gets overwhelmed by offensive tackles at the point of attack. Must learn to take on and shed blockers and play with good leverage. Must develop more pass-rush moves; can't afford to rely so much on speed.

Bottom line: Wimbley shined at the Senior Bowl, holding his own against the run and impressing scouts as an edge pass rusher. He is an end/outside linebacker 'tweener and probably fits best as a 3-4 outside linebacker. He should make an early impact as a situational pass rusher and special teams performer. He projects as a mid-Round 1 selection.

Dan Pompei analysis
Is undersized but has everything else teams seek. Is explosive, athletic and fights. Creates space by colliding and bursting. Can power rush, and has some outside speed. Knows how to cut back inside. Can change directions. Is light on his feet. Isn't a great run player, but isn't bad. Also could be considered at outside linebacker in a 3-4.
No. 3 on Pompei's DE rankings

How can Jamal Reynold get drafted again?

[FritzDontBlitz]

My friends college roommate, who's brother delivers pizza for a national chain that I can't mention just sent us this information.

Suzy Kolber is hot.

i agree, and suzy has a nice ass to boot.

i wanna see a suzy kolber/rachel nichols mud wrestling match. a good way to spend the time between packer picks, ya think?

and, why can;t i get my avatar to work?

[packrulz]

AJ's fiance'.

[Rastak]

AJ's fiance'.

He done good.

[imscott72]

AJ's fiance'.

She's ok. Not that hot. I'd give her a 6 based on looks only..

[Scott Campbell]

So who do we get in the second?

[Bretsky]

A shout out to Bretsky - I am happy for you, my man. The Packers got the guy you wanted. First time ever for you, right?

Does that raise your estimation of TT just a little, and ease the loss of Troy Vincent and Chris Chambers?

It does raise my view of TT as did the Woodsen signing.

But the scars from Chris Chambers and Troy Vincent will live on forever.
