I guess the drafts done tonight are the first "real" mock drafts so far this year. Did anyone see any surprises?

[/QUOTE]This is going to be fun. I just hope the week we play each other that you (to use an over-used term over the past week) BRING IT.

I'm really not thrilled about my #8 pick. I'd rather be at #13, to be honest. Think Greg would let us trade?

My team from tonight sucks:

Drafting in the #11 slot, but of course I decided not to show up until the 2nd round as I thought the draft was at 8pm not 7pm.

QB: Tom Brady, Gus Frerrotte
RB: Clinton Portis, Mike Anderson, LaBrandon Toefield, Ricky Williams, William Green, Ryan Moat
WR: Terrell Owens, Hines Ward, Santana Moss, Travis Taylor, Reggie Brown, Brandon Jones, Darius Watts
TE: Antonio Gates
K: Mike Nugent
D: JAX

With 1.07, we took Edgerring James. On the way back (2.08), Domanick Davis fell to us. Davis was taken as a late first round pick in many other drafts -- we just got lucky.

Lesson learned: you never really know how things are going to go until it's your turn to pick.

I assume they picked Clinton Portis for you at #11 (would you have gone with Barlow?). During today's fireside chat with Tom, it was suggested that Portis would not go in the Top 10. Sure enough...

I wonder how fall he would have fallen if not on autodraft.

These are valuable tidbits. Keep them coming!

Of course, whatever you can glean from that is yours to cherish
