Until then, we will look [...]

It’s like picking your buddies in the park: the game is about to begin. What a feeling!
The five that the SexPoliticsandFootball blog were watching turned out this way:

The draft is almost over.
I am awaiting to see if my man Eric Kettani from Navy will be drafted.

I have him going to the Pats with their last pick of the draft.
I can see them trading for the last pick and making him Mr. Irrevelant.
Let’s see how it goes.

Ramses Barden, the WR from Cal-Poly SLO has been drafted by the Giants.
Plaxico Burress has been replaced in size. It’s up to Ramses to prove he can be just as good.

Thomas and [...]
