Mine too (I read the Instructions Manual before saying "I do").

With all due respect, anything is worth a shot after what we've been through. Besides, he has a year or two to sit and learn a bit more, assuming Matt Moore continues to play well. And at least he's not Ted Ginn, Jr.!

Always look on the bright side of life.

No offense... hated what the Dolphins did. Cleveland got some solid players but overpaid. I just do not get the love for Tannehill. The Chiefs are awful so far as well. Dontari Poe was a horrible pick at 11.

St. Louis is the craziest to evaluate. The talent they have drafted could changed their franchise. Trading down from six and passing on Claiborne is a giant gamble, but what they have parlayed all those moves into could pay huge dividends. I also like what Dallas and Pittsburgh have done a lot. Tampa Bay is up there at this point as well as the Jets.

I just love the draft, although I hate the Thur/Fri thing. I miss starting at noon on Saturday and going all weekend.

I'm with you on the Saturday starts. I used to look forward to that, very much, every year. As for Miami, the last time I "loved" their draft was 1983. I don't envision that changing anytime soon.

I "like" a lot of the players in this year's draft, but truly didn't "love" any of them, outside of Luck and RG-to-the-third-power, or whatever his name is today. And, in fairness, I also like Trent R. a LOT. Dumb of them to trade up, in my opinion, but that's why they get paid and I do not, they hope. So we'll just have to see how it all plays out ("Victor Cruz" says it all).

UGH! Stephen Ross strikes again. Last year it was, "I'm hoping Chad Henne will be even better than Marino." Now this:

Ross hopes Tannehill's No. 17 will be retired | Miami Dolphins In Depth

I hope that Stephen Ross stops going public with his hopes. I can't take this guy any longer. Just SHUT UP and... OWN. Or whatever it is you owners are supposed to do.

ARGGGGGGHHHHHHHH!!!!!!!!

I like Luck, not sold on RGIII at the next level. I loved him in college, we will see if it translates.

My problem with Cleveland is they are not in a position to give up those picks. 4th and 5th rounders matter. Washington could afford it because their rosters in much better shape. Cleveland is not in that same position. They should have sat at 4, odds are TR would have fallen to them there still. Worst case scenario they get Blackmon at 4. Then they should have traded back from 22 and taken Weeden later. Nobody interested in a QB was going to take Weeden anytime soon. Odds are they still get both of those guys they want and get an extra pick or two. Exactly the opposite of what happened. That is the difference between teams that succeed and do not at the draft.

I did like a few gems this year. I love Stephen Hill and was mad that he went to the Jets. I think he takes a couple years to develop but he will be a stud. And the Eagles getting Cox was a nice move. Chiefs should be shot for taking Poe over him. Just silliness.

Just came on to post a pic and saw your comments (Bayemon). I agree with most of what you said, but I'm not a big Blackmon fan. I think he's over-rated. I don't get the Weeden pick at all. I'm with you on Hill and was hoping Miami drafted him. But I can't fault them for passing him over since our O-Line needs serious help. But I love him too. Damn Jets.

I feel compelled though, to point out that I also thought that Ryan Leaf would be at least close to as good as Manning, when all was said and done. And my best friend rarely lets a day go by when he doesn't remind of that little tidbit.

But besides all of that -
