It is just so funny sitting back and watching all the losers pick.

My team picks #30 Steelers. Really don't need much. Maybe a offensive lineman. 15-2 wasn't a bad season.

I do feel sorry for the Cleveland fans. Yea right.

SD wants M. Williams big time. The Lions should swap picks and a 2nd rounder for the #10.

Until Moss arrived our biggest problem offensively was the red zone. Moss solved that and Williams would have kept it solved.

The only problem with Williamson is that the Vikings' offensive philosophy doesn't match his style. Despite the hype about Moss as a deep threat, we would go for weeks at a time without having any idea of what play-action was. They would refuse to stretch the field. Don't believe the hype - the Vikings are not a downfield team and haven't been since Moss and Randall Cunningham had such a great year in 1998.

Granted, a portion of that was because they were afraid of exposing the defense to additional abuse but this would happen even when they trailed.

They're going to have to change because I don't see him going over the middle very often.

The 'Boys can have either Merriman or Johnson if they want, two players who weren't expected to be on the board this late. But if Mike Williams is available, I wouldn't blame them for taking him.

Detroit is going to have to pick a defensive player, I'd think.
