Thank goodness we never were a serious player for him! What a bust he will be.

If I never hear that song, 'Im the man, Im the man, Im the man,' I will be a little more overall happy with my life.

I really like how they are stacking up late round picks. Increases our chances of finding a diamond in the rough. Plus Zimmer does well developing late round guys also. 5 picks within the next 2 rounds is solid.

I want one of the following with the next pick or two:
-Marcus Roberson (CB)
-Loucheiz Purifoy (CB)
-Craig Loston (S)
-EJ Gaines (CB)
-Ahmad Dixon (S)

I loved that song for months. This draft has really started to get on my nerves with the frequency at which they are playing it.

Antone Exum....I'll take it. Didn't realize he was still available. Not a bad pick at all. Glad we went DB

This actually does make a lot of sense now that I think about it. Unless there is someone you really love, might as well trade back at this point

Dude seriously? What is your deal? Does any pick work for you?? I definitely like this draft so far so I sure am glad you weren't the GM and calling all the shots

Exum was projected to go between round 3-4. Very good value in the 6th round
