    It sucks, I usually stay up real late and sleep in, cause I work at night at sporting events. But recently, Ive just been getting tired from work and crashing when I get home. I think the weather is taking a toll as well. Just been tired for 3 weeks straight now.

    Thinking Bowers to GB...

    Lol, this should be great with the OSU/Browns fans haha.

    Just like when Randle El went to the Steelers for me (IU Grad).
  • OQB
    I hear ya man.....the winter weather does that to me. December-February all I do is sleep.

    BTW, is this the weakest RB class in forever??? 1 taken in round 1, and not till pick 28!!!
  • killer_ewok
    Heyward will look good in Black & Gold. Welcome aboard.
  • OQB
    I'm not sure it's the weakest, I just think it's because their are so many solid D-lineman

    That and RBs are becoming less and less valuable because most teams split carries between two backs. No need to pay 1st round money to a part-time player.

    thats a great point.

    12 DLinemen taken...and Bowers still on the board. If Green Bay doesn't take him I have to imagine there will be a bunch of teams looking to trade up to grab him early. And look who's sitting at #33, the kings of draft pick trades the New England Patriots.
  • Automatik
    I like that pick. I didn't think DE was a major need, I'll take it. Heyward is a standup guy, I hope he pans out.
  • Laley23
    Finally over (though that went a lot faster than I thought it would). Off to bed. Probably wont be able to watch the second/third round tomorrow either.
  • OhioStatePride2003
    I just think that Da'Quan Bowers is a Montario Hardesty type of risk...great potential, but significant injury concerns.
  • gorocks99
    Sherrod to GB ... weird, the ESPN.com feed said they picked Bowers. I dunno. Understand that the line is getting older but ... I'm not uber excited about him.

    They probably will trade again....haha

    Nice first round......won't be able to watch tomorrow either, gotta work.

    I don't see too many teams being willing to give up more than a late round pick or two to move up for Bowers. There is too much risk to really give up much for that guy. Don't get me wrong, I hope he is there when Cleveland picks, but no way would I want them to give up anything more than a 5th rounder to move up.

    But no third. It's only an 11 spot difference from where we would have been.

    I'm on the Phil Taylor from Baylor train though.
