Third round is the charm, right DNice and Ricky???

In a round dictated by keepers, risky early picks, and reaches longer than Manute Bol's, the only certainty is that DNice and Ricky H will take the batteries out of the smoke detector in the suite and justify there GMing thus far...puff, puff, give...right boys? Unfortunately, your "giving" everyone else an opportunity to draft a significant skill player while you gamble on a hold out and an unproven back in a red jersey...better bust out the Wild Turkey, too! It's gonna be a long night/season boys...

3.01 Juiceman - LT, Larry, and the man-child are daunting to say the least, but I don't see Big Dan packing it in just yet... However, picking a fine set of Double Ds at the turn has to get the bags out of the closet you would think. BUT, there are a few position runs between now and your next pick - Can you afford to pass up on a QB or TE here? As much as we believe QBs can be found late, the question remains, can an impact QB be had late? Brady - Stud. Manning - studly before joining the Brain squad. Palmer - the man who could unseat Peyton. Teams don't win with mediocre QBs in this league...

3.02 Shadow - Thomas Jones. No brainer. Quietly solid except for a keeper in DeAngelo who isn't even the starter in Carolina for a head coach who is notorious for favoring veterans and a "number 1 WR" out of Philly who isn't really a #1 anywhere else - think Deion Branch in New England...

3.03 Drury - Cedric Benson. Look at your bench - Can you go anywhere else with two "starting" runners who WILL share the load behind OLines that are significantly weaker this season? Don't answer that...your pick already has!

3.04 Mr. Mafia - I think someone else is in your "Shadow" in ChiTown...but keep in mind the trophy continues to reside in the East! Is it possible to screw your position up - I would like to think not but Coach Shanahan has a knack for turning a promising running game into a timeshare...when was the last time one back got all the carries in Denver anyway...what's that Dan, oh, Portis was...there's been a lot of "perfect fits" in Bronco land since then, remember there names? Neither do we. But knowing you, the RB is the least of your worries right now so it's all about grabbing your most sought after and hyped WR from the desert - Q.

3.05 Brain - It's a draft of names for Brain since he lacked them going into the night - Give him Gates because everyone wants a piece of him in that offense and Brain is incredibly adept at trading away quality for quantity...we know where AG will start, but who knows where he'll finish...

3.06 Big Dan - PORTIS' KNEE - I mean PORTIS' SHOULDER - I mean Ladell Betts' backup. Can you really? Stupid question...

3.07 D&D - Time for a RB since your love affair, AG, is off the board. I hear there's some rookie up in Buffalo who looks like the second coming of Willis McGahee, minus the propensity for wearing down defenses and making lots of women mommies...you may Lynch yourself ultimately but to you, the decision is clear (which maybe the scariest thing of the night!).

3.08 DNICE - So much talent but that greedy bastard in KC is not only preventing you from grabbing a WR, but he's preventing Michael Bennett from toting the...oops. Maybe not. The former track star should be available in the 4th, though...

3.09 UCB - Someone said that Carson Palmer is going to be studly this year...who said that again? Oh yeah - EVERYONE! Welcome aboard, Mr. Palmer.

3.10 Mr. Mafia care of the chain smoker - Stunned aren't ya'? No AG. No Palmer. Hope you had plan C because you officially start thinking now...I'm not sure about you, but I think it may make sense to grab Tom Brady before Ricky does. If not, Tony G is your man...too bad we don't get points for blocking.
