I'd still take him in the 3rd.

He blew the rest of the "experts" away. And predicting Ponder going early is really remarkable considering just about no one else had that.

Kelly, such reports are almost always BS. It is against the law for a doctor to release that information.

Didn't he make that remark a good seven months ago?

DraytonFlorence Drayton Florence The NFL stay was granted & now the lockout is back in effect until the middle of next week most likely - everything is back on hold for now I wonder if the boo birds will be back out tonight?

They just officially gave him #99:

I also think Bowers is the pick, but I don't get the "they have a history of taking players with knee issues" comment. "They" aren't here any more.

SI's Don Banks just posted his new mock for the 2nd round. http://sportsillustrated.cnn.com/2011/writers/don_banks/04/29/second-round-mock-draft/index.html?eref=twitter_feed Adding Bowers along with Marcell could, if they both stay healthy, make our defense dominate.

He's a free agent.

Drayton tweeted a few interesting things today. First, he said Bowers would be a great pick for the Bills at #34. And with this tweet, he says adding Bowers to the roster would make him want to stay... "If bower is still there that's another great pick and it would be hard for me too leave with @shawnemerriman on the other side" Also, in response to whether the Bills should take a QB tonight, he tweeted, "fitz is our qb" Now, we all know GMs do what they think is the best for the team -- not what players think is best for the team, but I still find this interesting.

He is going to be #99. He told Jim Lang and Gord Stellick this morning that's what he wants, and I believe the number is available.

I wrote the same thing earlier today! There is no doubt...

Marcell Dareus

Next.

I suspect that, as well, which is why I am especially curious as to what NGU thinks.

He has a lot being thrown at him. I figured I'd pop it out there again in case he missed it the first time and is willing to address it. If not, that's cool. We will see in a few hours now.

Nevergiveup, I don't recall you talking about Blaine Gabbert being considered at #3, but ESPN is spreading that rumor today. Any truth to that being considered, that you know of?

I'm sold. Let's do this.

When is this draft thing?

Seriously? Football is much more than numbers.

It seems he is our guy now.

Very interesting...

I watched Parcells' 90-minute Draft Confidential last night. Not a bad show. My big take aways: He like Cam Newton a lot. He thinks the defensive linemen crop is this draft's real value. The more plays a certain player can play per season, the more valuable he is. OLBers who have to come off the field in passing situations are not worth much. A team cannot have enough good corners. The safest pick is an offensive tackle. There is no prototypical running back. He said this draft has zero ubber elite prospects, but he sees this draft as one of the most important in the league's history.

Thanks so much for the insight, NGU. I for one am very happy with the news, but that is not what's important. The fact is we all just got a free tip reporters would break their neck for.
