Jeff Clampitt took Joseph Addai next and the Colts' fan had this to say about Addai: "J.Addai is a great value here. He finished top 10 last year among RB's in this scoring format and should be very close to that again in 2010. D.Brown isn't really a threat to Addai IMO until 2011."

Matt Bayley made Dallas Clark the first tight end off the board early in the third round and said about Clark: "again, good offense, great QB, safe pick... early for TE but better to get a good one now rather than chase some questionable guys later."

Dave Gerczak took Philip Rivers at 3.06 as the fourth QB taken and had this to say about Rivers:

"I love Rivers in 2010 for a few reasons. 1. No LT, means possibly more passing. Even with a 1st round rookie, River matures a little more and they rely on him. 2. His weapons: Gates, V Jax, and all those other tall-ass MOFOs like Nenee, Floyd, etc. (assuming they all stay) 3. The schedule: AFC West, plus NFC West, plus AFC South = holy **** Batman. Lots of shootouts."

Dan Thomas took Shonn Greene at 3.08 before Thomas Jones was let go. Now he really looks like a solid pick. Here's what Dan had to say in February about this pick: "If Thomas Jones goes this was a steal the way the Jets run the ball. When I was picking at 2.8 I had Greene and Smith and I thought Greene had a better chance to make it back to me so I was very happy with this pick."

Glenn Lowy took the next QB -- Tom Brady -- at 3.10 and said: "I considered several different players & positions with this pick. I ultimately went with Brady because of his upper echelon upside. He's still the player that was being grabbed in many 1st rounds last year and John Reuss guaranteed that Wes Welker will be back as good as ever next year...

Ochocinco went to Wayne Ellis at 3.11 and Wayne had this to say in February: "I was really torn between Ochocinco and Anquan Boldin. There is so much uncertainty around Boldin this year. I don't trust Leinart and he might even get traded. I once again went with the safe pick in Ochocinco. He is good for 7-9 touchdowns every year and 1050-1450 yards. The addition of Matt Jones could really help Chad out this year."

Greg Morgan closed out the third round -- end of 3RR -- by taking Cedric Benson and has this to say: "Felt certain that Shonn Greene would be here. I was wrong. Benson was the best RB on the board, so I rolled with him."
