***NFL DRAFT 2013-- in game***

Geno Smith said upon arrival at Radio City Music Hall that he would enjoy the positives and ignore the negatives. That he was just going to enjoy being there. Now he is returning home pouting, and will not be returning to enjoy the 2nd day of the picks. LOL

It's hard for those guys to be invited, have the press fill their heads, and then wait with their name not being called.  I kinda felt bad when they announced Eddie Lacy had been invited to NY, because I figured he would be left waiting.  But he seems an easy-going guy, and had teammates and Saban there with him.

I think that's why Saban goes to the draft. To provide some support to his guys whether they are drafted or not in the first round. I'm not sure if he stays for the entire draft.

It's also a huge recruiting tool.

Eddie and Jesse Williams should be gone by midway through the 2nd round.  Barrett I see as a 3rd round guy.  Maybe we can sneak one more into the 3rd round (Square or M Williams most likely).

The Cowboys took a center in the first round, and it wasn't BJ.   

Yeah, Eddie and Jessie should go today.  I think BJ is being undervalued, but we'll see.

Can someone give me some insight on how a kid from central mich is drafted ahead of the kid from A&M?  I think looking at the competion in conference alone would switch that thinking around.

All the on air guys have been just slamming the Cowboys for that one all day. I think someone said he wasn't even the best center available in the draft (which I think is Barrett, of course, looking through my crimson colored glasses). I was a little unsure at first with the Ravens pick of Matt Elam, but the more I heard about him and saw some of his skills, and the way Ozzie has just gushed over him, the more I think that this was a good pickup. Losing Ed Reed, we needed a safety who could hit and cover (something Ed never could do).

This draft has been bizarre!  I thought I saw an opening for Eddie Lacy at Dallas. Do they not have a 'not everydown" type guy with injury (dinged up) problems. He and EL would have paired up well.

That would require Jerrah to do something brilliant in the football world. When have you ever known him to do something like that?

[Terrie1959]

I'm just shocked that Eddie Lacy hasn't been drafted yet. We went out to dinner and I just KNEW when I got home and checked, that he and BJ would've been drafted

[BAMAWV]

Le'Ron McClain seems happy--twittering away--on the Manti Tao pick by San Diego.  

Monte Ball picked ahead of EL.  If "injury prone" is showing up as a negative on him it is an injustice, since he has really only had a couple of minor injuries. They just happened to be (high ankle, turf toe) of the slow healing nature.  

EL to "Titletown"

61st (Rd. 2) -- Green Bay Packers.  I cannot believe fumble-itus is even being mentioned. That problem wasn't even really a problem in his freshman season.

EL would have been selected had you ordered desert. Just sayin'...

[BAMAWV]

Philly would be a bad team to be selected by--JMHO--since Chip Kelly will not last long there. 

I'd have to look back, but I think Preacher hit the EL to Green Bay call last night.

He just might have, but I doubt Preacher thought Green Bay would be able to trade down with SF and get more value for EL with a later pick, near the end of the second round.

As I've been saying, EL has had some injury issues, some very early career fumble issues (which he long ago resolved), and perhaps the greatest group of offensive linemen to ever play together in college football blocking for him.  So he is being undervalued.  But Green Bay got a steal.
