Game Time!


The draft is 20 minutes away. The picture above is what I'm looking at in front of me. I went and bought a shitload of wings from Buff's Pub in Newton and I made a vow to myself that I wouldn't touch one wing until I got a pick correct. It looks like Newton might go one overall (huge mistake) so I might be fucked. I'm starving. All I've had is a protein shake and some saltein crackers to eat all day. I don't know why I do this to myself but it seemed fitting. God they smell good. Without further ado the remaining picks:

29. Chicago Bears - Danny Watkins - Easy pick really. The Bears led the league in sacks allowed this past year. They NEED a solid offensive line with Mike Martz sending everyone including half the offensive line out into pass patterns on every play. Watkins is 27 years old and far away the offensive lineman who can step in and start right away. The Bears aren't getting any younger with their defensive core. They have a 3-4 year window. Watkins is the pick.

30. New York Jets - Corey Liguet - The Jets need to replace Kris Jenkins, who blew out his knee for the 47th time this past season. This Illinois product is a beast of a defensive tackle and it would pain me for the Jets to end up with him, though I'd have visions of Vernon Gholston dancing in my head.

31. Pittsburgh Steelers - Akeem Ayers - Steelers love this kind of rush linebacker who can also drop into coverage. They would literally draft them on every pick of they could. They addressed their O line last year with the great Pouncey pick so they continue their run of rush linebackers here.

32. Green Bay Packers - Mark Ingram - Quick, who was the Packers running back this season? Took me a minute too. Imagine if the Packers actually had a legit, blue chip running back prospect to put in the backfield behind Aaron Rodgers. Scary thought. And with Ingram sitting right there for them, and not many holes to fill, why the hell not?
