POST DRAFT HANGOVER

as is the case, i can't believe how much of the NFL Draft i watched over the weekend. mostly i watched the first round online while i was busy not doing much of anything at work on Saturday, but i really can't come up with a rational excuse for watching any of the day 2 nonsense this morning. maybe it was to avoid another roadrules/realworld challenge on MTV or the fact that i enjoy seeing Mel Kiper pull some shit out of his ass about some random left guard from Hampton college or whereever in the 7th round. i mean does that guy really watch that much college football? didn't he also once say JJ Stokes would be the next Jerry Rice? anyways, the most enjoyable part of the draft was of course watching Brady Quinn's freefall of shame before the Browns traded away their likely top 10 pick in next years draft to save Quinn for the humiliation of being the first player i can ever recall getting invited to the draft and then going in the second round. honestly after Miami passed up on him it looked like he might cry. and so it goes, he's now in line to be the next Tim Couch. on the hometeam front the Falcons decided it would be a good idea to draft a bunch of guys i had either never heard of or who played for Arkansas. granted Jamaal Lewis may end up being a pro-bowl end...but i really would rather have gotten that 19 year old kid out of Louisville instead. also this years tally of Auburn players who got drafted was a low 5 being taken. Ben Grubbs was the only Auburn player taken in the 1st round by the Ravens, Kenny Irons went in the second to the Bengals (to backup another former Tiger Rudi Johnson), Will Herring and Courtney Taylor both got drafted in the 5th and 6th rounds by the Seahawks, and finally David Irons (with his oh so very impressive score of 4 on the Wonderlic) ends up a Falcon in the 6th round. all in all it's a good way to kill a weekend if you have a nice couch to take a nap on and nothing better to do. bonus points for getting my girlfriend to watch some of it and talk about how she felt so bad for poor Brady.
