Two names spring to mind:

Sam Bowie

Michael Jordan

I'm not saying that Mario will be a bust like Bowie was. Far from it.

But you just don't pass on Jordan.

Denver just picked up one Brandon Marshall, the WR dubbed, "Baby T O". I've never seen his body of work but I remember that name. Not sure that's a good thing or not.

The name is vaguely familiar... "Baby T.O."? Yikes! being that T.O. is a big baby, Marshall's nickname ought to be "The embryo"

Poll question on ESPN live draft page:
"Will Marcus Vick get drafted?"

46% YES
54% NO

I say Maurice Clarett got drafted, Lawrence Phillips got drafted, it may be the 6th or 7th round, but I think he will get drafted.

Marshall is huge (6-4.5, 228) but not particularly quick or fast.

Lots of SEC experience (major conference), good speed (4.45), he'll return punts. Pretty good pick for Dallas

New York Football Giants Ping List

Freepmail Ultra Sonic 007 to get on or off this ping list.

Welcome to day 2. Picks so far for the G-Men are...

Round 1: DE Mathias Kiwanuka from Boston College.
Round 2: WR Sinorice Moss from Miami.
Round 3: LB Gerris Wilkinson from Georgia Tech.
Round 4: DT Barry Cofield from Northwestern.

You just KNOW Chris Berman's gonna end up calling Kiwanuka 'Kiwi'.

The Texans need to draft a punter. Maybe two.

And don't forget a long snapper.

Yeah, he's small and perhaps injury-prone. I saw him mainly return punts at LSU and thought he was decent. As long as he makes good decisions, he may be a good pickup. Parcells really covets heady return guys so I hope he can fit that mold here.

That act is so old. He was already salivating over OSU's Ashton Youbotty. He already has plans to call him Ashton "shake" Yourboty.

I'm a huge Cowboy fan and and tired of hearing about him.  This team's success or failure  will not hinge on TO. It's all about defense here.

McNeal might have your guy at that pick instead of Green. McNeal has more speed and size, perhaps more explosive, but less experience.

Yep, rather have McNeal there. JJ/BP didn't call me, though.

Clarett and Phillips had much better careers than Vick though - especially Phillips. Clarett only played one year but was seen as the key player in OSU's national championship run. They were also running backs which is much easier to transfer to the NFL than an QB.

I think he will be a free agent signing - I just don't think that anyone will want to have him listed as one of their draft picks. With a free agent signing, the press coverage will be much less - especially when he gets cut.

He really needs to go to NFL Europe and play a couple of more years.
