Exactly!! Well you won't lack for TV coverage. I think there's almost as much "pre-game" as the Super Bowl.

One thing I learned was that after the first round or so (maybe top 40), there is a two round stretch where there are not a lot of CBs and OTs. However, there are lots of safeties. There are a ton of safeties that will be available on day 2. There is also good middle round (2-5) depth at TE, RB, OLB, WR, ILB, QB, and NT.

This should be a deep draft with great value in the middle rounds. Hopefully, the Steelers get an opportunity to trade back and get more middle round picks.

Thanks again, Ruthless for another enterntaining time with these. Sorry I missed a few picks, but sometimes real life just gets in the way...

No problem, guys. Thanks to you all as well for making it possible again!

I wasn't exact this time, but I did get the position right, so that has to count for something. I'll make the change on our official list now. Sorry about that.

Nice work!!! Thanks for taking the time to look and carefully make a selection... Houston appreciates it.

And as the others have said, nice work makin this thing work!
