heck Marshawn Lynch is still on the board so you may be right

Hey once we select Poz and mighty makes his pick, the Baltimore Ravens will select Marshawn Lynch. I don't have internet service at home so I won't be able to make the pick later. You'll have my write up tomorrow... though Baltimore probably won't select until mid day tomorrow.

27 New Orleans Saints - Paul Posluszny, LB, 6-2, 238, 4.65, Penn State
A tremendous college player, maybe the best Penn St LB of all time, is a sideline to sideline a tackling machine with great instincts and a nose for the football. Plays faster than he times. Always knows where the ball is and gets to it. Excellent technique and wrap up and rarely misses tackles. His measurables may leave a little to be desired (he got hurt last year, he is not very big and his speed is something that needs to be verified) but his Unrivaled character and leadership skills are not an issue. Being named Penn State's captain as a junior, which is rarely done, and one of two college players to win the Butkus award twice, make him a solid value. I think Poz maybe a bit of an overachiever, so a move to ILB is on the horizon for Poz, as he may lack the speed needed to be an OLB at the next level. His inability to shed blocks is his only weakness. Which can still be learned. The Saints defense gets the leader the in the middle they have missed for so many years. That should by all accounts be a pro bowler for years to come.

The Pats select WR Robert Meachem from Tennesse.

All I have to say about this selection is that the Pats NEED a WR, and I was hoping Bowe or Jarrett would fall, but Meachem is a beast also. If anyone watched that Tenn. vs. Cal game at the start of the season, you know that he tourched that whole team. I think this will become a go to guy for Tom Brady.

With the 29th pick in the NFL draft, the Baltimore Ravens select...

Marshawn Lynch, running back from the University of California.

Ladies and gentleman, talk about a steal... this was a gift sent from God to the Ravens. Ever since Jamal Lewis rushed for 2000 yards in 2003, he was never the same after. He's no longer the gamebreaker he once was and now is considered just an average NFL starter. Lynch has all the qualities you would want in a number one back. He fast, athletic, good hands, and most importantly, he changes games. Just like the Deuce McAllister and Randy Moss pick in the past, teams will look back at this draft and wonder how the heck did this top 10 talent fall so low in the draft.

_________________________________________________

Pretty much a no-brainer here... the Ravens need to free cap room in attempt to re-sign Thomas and they find Lewis' successor. Great value pick and I think the only other option would be to select a cornerback. Rolle regressed last year after signing such a big contract and is about to be on the wrong sign of 30, but they'll find his successor in the second round where corners are coming a dime a dozen.

Everyone is entitled to be stupid, but some abuse the privilege.

All little common sense goes a long way.

no poo. what a bargin and he does not come with a broken leg. how many million do save with a 13 spot drop in the draft? then again i traded their second to washington for Jason Campbell so they could pick brady. man would the ravens fans be happy with these two in the backfield for years to come.

Looks like Paul P. might be moving on up...

with the # 30 pick- San Diego Chargers selected Ben Grubbs SR 6-3/318/- Auburn

The offensive guard position isn’t a desperate need, but it would probably be a good idea to add depth at the position. Behind starting guards Kris Dielman and Mike Goff, there isn’t much in terms of talent or quality support. Also, Goff will turn thirty-one in the near future, making it a good idea for the Chargers to bring in depth for the offensive line.

faldhamen

with the # 31 pick- Chicago Bears selected OT Joe Staley SR 6-5/305/4.70 Central Michigan .

The Offensive line needs some one like J. Staley to dominate the line and open holes to more smash football style and protect the QB in the passing downs.
