If any of y'all remember, back in the Mike Tice era the Vikings didn't bother turning in a pick at around 9th or so and about three teams got their picks in first, probably my favoritest draft memory ever. The Panthers got Jordan Gross in that sequence.

That was an epic moment. I remember the commentators absolutely losing it. They had no idea what was going on. "Is it... did they... trade? .. No? Well.. um.. I guess they passed?"

Edit: NNoooooo!!!! Gabe whyyyyy..

Yes, I remember that. They picked Kevin Williams eventually.

Edit - Carimi to the Bears. Expected and smart move.

I'm really shocked that Carimi fell all the way down to 29, but I can't say I'm disappointed Chicago got him. I was preparing myself for a reach or a trade down. This was a nice surprise.

I love the Miami pick. I've been nothing more than impressed with pouncey at UF. I wonder if they move him to guard or keep him at center.

Dude, have you seen the Bears O-line? Yeah, no one has. They don't even show up on half the plays.

Not saying they don't need help. But I'm not really sure he is good value for that pick #. Every team has needs but if you dont have the player rated high enough for the spot you are picking in you either trade out of it or pick someone else. To me Carimi isn't good value for the #29 pick. (hell, parcells had him with a 3rd round grade)

Exactly. This lets them plug in Carimi at RT and move Webb to LT. Williams and Omiyale fight it out at LG unless we get a FA. I hope they grab a G/C prospect to replace Kreutz later in the draft, but this was definitely a needed pick.

Bowers not in the first round is so weird to me. He's really a good good player. o_O

Prevailing theory is that the knee injury is a bit more serious than being reported. Teams are unwilling to put 1st round money on it as a result. Expect to see him gone QUICKLY tomorrow.

hahaha! yeah that's how it goes. It's a good pick though. Sherrod should have a year or two to improve before he's promoted to first string as long as Clifton's knees hold up. I like this pick by Green Bay.
