Thrilled with the Bucs draft outside their last pick.  That one...makes little sense.  Bowers is great value, the LBer covers them on losses this year and brings a little more upside at the unit.  The first TE is an ideal #2 with upside long term to replace Winslow.  Safety is another high production guy that is very average in physical looks but with a chip on his shoulders should be fired up to prove people wrong.  Another power back as well as another sleeper corner late.   :cheers: :yeah:



Heh their last pick is local kid, who walked on at Idaho and ended up semi-finalist for best TE in Country 3 years later.
Unless he is also a long snapper it seems an odd pick.  But meh maybe he turns out to be really good.  They have found good players in the 7th recently a lot oddly.  Probably to make up for no value in the 5th and 6th.

Al Davis continues  to be... special.  I'm just happy we got two players before doing the usual "fastest guy in the draft" pick.  Ugh.  I'm hoping that the grabbing of a TE and a few DB's doesn't mean Nnamdi and Miller are gone.  That would suck.  A lot.  The Browns seem to have pulled off an ok draft overall.  I've been stuck at work all day so I haven't gotten to read much on either teams' picks yet.

Non-Draft item, but still a nice article on why Ray Lewis is awesome:

On September 1, 2007, Appalachian State shocked the Michigan Wolverines (and the rest of the world) by beating them, 34-32. On April 30, 2011, Appalachian State (Daniel Kilgore(notes), Mark Legree(notes), D.J. Smith(notes)) shocked the Wolverines again (Jonas Mouton(notes), Steve Schilling(notes)) by beating them, 3-2, in draft picks. Some teams just have other teams' numbers.

It is far better for the truth to tear my flesh to pieces, then for my soul to wander through darkness in eternal damnation.

Jet: So what kind of woman is she? What's Julia like?
Faye: Ordinary. The kind of beautiful, dangerous ordinary that you just can't leave alone.
Jet: I see.
Faye: Like an angel from the underworld. Or a devil from Paradise.

Berkut will be the first to tell you it's just an act, as you'll notice she drowned her kids, not stabbed them.  :bigberkutrolleyes:

Draft pick Jimmy Smith gets the law.

QuoteAnd he was welcomed to the team by Ray Lewis, who called him on Saturday. "He just welcomed me and set me straight on how the team is going to be ran," he said. "He is the boss, as far as on the defense."

I'd really like to see a lot more data points before I put much stock in this.
