Blue Light Special in Aisle Three

Lots of values in the NFL Draft in the beginning of the second day, let’s take a closer look at some of the players who should outperform some of the first day picks:

Charles Godfrey, CB, Carolina - He’ll be better than Terrence Wheatley, Patrick Lee, or Terrell Thomas. He can also be worked in slowly, as a dime back at first, because Carolina has three good corners in Marshall, Gamble, and Lucas.

Earl Bennett, WR, Chicago - Instantly the most dependable WR on the Bears roster under 30. Bennett will make the tough catches over the middle and snare errant passes from Grossman or Orton or Jim McMahon coming out of retirement.

Tavares Gooden, LB, Baltimore - Ray Lewis gets to mentor the best young LB from the U in the draft this year. Isn’t that special?

Chris Ellis, DE, Buffalo - He was announced as an LB, but he’ll help be helping Ryan Denney and Chris Kelsay stay healthy.

Reggie Smith, DB, San Francisco - While Michael Lewis headhunts, Reggie Smith can cover the deep middle, and he can be a nickel/dime back right away.

Pat Sims, DT, Cincinnati - Here’s your consolation prize for missing out on Sedrick Ellis, Bengal fans. Sims is a little soft around the middle, but he can be a space eater and let those athletic LBs do some damage.

Who Was Going To Take Flacco?

I’m mystified. Maybe they had intel that another team was getting ready to move up?

Congrats Philly fans, you get Otah. My gut feeling was that Baltimore was moving up to snag Otah right under Philly’s nose. Mike Jenkins could fall into Tampa’s lap. Merling into Washington’s. I have no idea who to project for Dallas, Pittsburgh, and Tennessee.
Mendenhall in Dallas would be sick. We’re also getting into the WR strike zone.

The suspense is killing me!

Go Go Gosder

Well I’m relieved that he won’t be in Black and Gold. The Lions do need a tackle, and Cherilus can step in and play RT right away, which will get George Foster off the field, something that should make every Lion fan happy.

We’re happy for Dominique Rodgers-Cromartie. He’s a humble and soft-spoken kid, and he really proved a lot at the Senior Bowl. Mike Jenkins would be a no brainer pick for Houston now, but then again you could say the same about Rashard Mendenhall, and maybe even Jeff Otah.

**TRADE ALERT**

Did Balitmore just trade up for Otah, or Jenkins, or *gasp* Henne?

Who do the Jags Want?

DERRICK HARVEY is my call. What’s yours?

Baltimore is gonna get some nice booty for trading down to 26.
