I can't wait to grade everybody's draft on Monday!

Kiper's got the Lions taking Tyrone Smith at 13 instead of Prince A. if they're both still on the board. I'm not sure how I feel about that.

He's also got the Vikings taking Jake Locker at 12. What a disaster that could turn out to be.

The only thing I'm sure of tonight is that we won't be picking a quarterback at #5, and I'm fine with that. If Peterson and Miller are both gone I could see a trade down or maybe AJ Green.

I'd be really surprised if Amukamara lasted that long.

That sounds like a good pick to me. Then again, I think Locker's got a lot of Tebow qualities, and I know we disagree on his prognosis. :)

So who screws the pooch the hardest tonight? Hard to see how it will be anyone other than Cincinnati or Washington.

Guys, I'm preparing for the draft by blasting Takk and drinking Two-Hearted Ale. Hopefully the wife comes through and I get a hummer in between New England's picks, too.

So my guess is no one here is sold on the QBs in this draft.

I like Dalton and Locker and Gabbert, in that order. I like Newton, but not in the top ten.

Ponder could be a decent 2nd round pick.

I don't like any of them in the top half of the round.

If I'm Carolina, there's no way I'm not drafting Dareus.

As a Bills fan, I just hope whoever they pick doesn't suck. This franchise cannot afford to miss on (another) first round pick. Especially #3 overall.

Me too. But then again, I'm boring.

Also, a couple of these QBs could very well work out. But if this draft goes down like people are predicting there's going to be some serious reaching going on.

I mean drafting him is almost like a two for one deal; they'll be assured of getting Andrew Luck after suffering through a season of Jimmy Clausen, who no doubt will confirm what they should have known a year ago.

I think it's too early to dismiss CJ...he showed flashes last year, and if y'all get a great line in place, he can be a real playmaker for the Bills.

I'd be willing to bet Andrew Luck won't be the first overall pick next year.

Also, what is with this idea that teams need to make a pick "to fire up the fan base" as if it's a good reason to go after a big name/high profile position when there are better picks for that team to make??? As far as I know nothing fires up a fan base like winning.
