This is when teams are made folks.
Tom Brady was drafted in the 6th round of his draft. The best QB of our time was what some would consider an after-thought.
I am still watching 3 of my 5.

Nicest moment I saw from this year’s first round of the NFL Draft was Wake Forest and Seattle Seahawk #4 pick Aaron Curry with 12-year old Bryson Merriweather.
Bryson is a leukemia survivor,  and Curry invited him to be a guest of his at the draft.

You can read about the story posted on the SI website.

I guess the success of Gino and Calhoun has spread to the gridiron squad up in Storrs.

UConn had 4 players picked in on the first day, all ironically whose surnames start with B.

Miami Dolphins just selected Pat White.
2nd round pick, 44th pick overall.
A winner at West Virginia.

The Chinese people are all over the world. Never doubt that.  The Pats are a smart [...]

Another surprise for me in the 2009 draft is the Knowshown Moreno pick to the Denver Broncos at pick 12.

Moreno, a 3rd year sophmore out of Georgia, is a good back. I am surprised that Josh McDaniel choose to go running back at this spot. He’s not following the Bill Belichick mode of picks.

So, the first of my five to watch as been drafted.

Clay Matthews III has been drafted by the Green Bay Packers. The former USC Trojan will have a 20-year career in the NFL. I will keep close tabs on this guy’s career. He went from walk-on to starter in his 5-year college career. Look at [...]

Darius Heyward-Bey will not have a great career with the Oakland Raiders.

I amsure he’s a great kid, and I am happy that he’s gonna get paid and take care of his family.
