NFL DRAFT-FIRST ROUND

Since my bud, HM, (click on the link for Hoopramblings on the right side) has done a Simon Cowell negative review of the 1st round, I thought I would play the role of Paula Abdul and give you positive thoughts on each pick. Here's the first 10 picks!

1. Oakland JaMarcus Russell - QB -- Big dude! Strong arm! Very, very strong arm. At worst, he will be better than Jeff George!

2. Detroit Calvin Johnson - WR -- Just because Matt Millen really screwed up 2 of the 3 previous times he picked a WR in the first round don't mean he messed up again. Best player in the draft!

3.Cleveland Joe Thomas-OT- Big, strong, Badger!! Smart enough to avoid the media circus in New York and relaxes on a fishing boat with his old man. You gotta love his commitment to the sport!

4. Tampa Bay Gaines Adams - DE -- They may call you undersized, dawg, but they also said the same thing about Dwight Freeney and now he is wearing a Super Bowl ring. So is your new coach. Have fun!

5. Arizona Levi Brown - OT -- You get to start right away and block for Matt Leinart and Edge!

6 Washington LaRon Landry - S -- We all know what a great judge of talent that Washington owner Dan Synder is, and if he is willing to spend money on you, you mus be good, dawg!

7.Minnesota Adrian Peterson-RB- "Boomer Sooner, Sooner Boomer!"

8. Atlanta Jammal Anderson -DE-You were a great running back for the Falcons and now with the extra weight, you will be fine at DE. It reminds me of when the Falcons tried to convert #1 pick Audray Bruce from LB to TE and that worked out great!! Just don't let Michale Vick take care of your dogs for the weekend, dawg!!!

9. Miami Ted Ginn Jr. - WR- You are from Ohio State, you ran back the opening kickoff for a touchdown, we love you! We love Miami, at least South Beach!!!

10. Houston Amobi Okoye-DT- Just like Jordin, you are so young. And just like Jordin, you are good enough to be a professional already!!!
