Makes sense.. I know I was junking it up..

So... one heck of a trend with QBs. I knew there was a need for QBs in the league, but there are a few other names I really expected to come before the QBs. This could be our class of '82 though, as these guys are all really solid.

I am looking to move up to take a particular player still on the board...

I think both of these QB's have solid futures. After these two were picked, I do not think a QB will be picked until the late first or early second round.

Dustin Hayes is the next Ryan Leaf.

Bah, Hayes will be the next Steve McNair. He'll be given plenty of time to learn and develop before he's unleashed upon the league...

Dola-

I also [ic244b7a]really[/ic244b7a] wanted Toothpick or Sanderson. Either of those guys would have been huge for the Rockets...

Well the good thing is Hayes and Lowe will get the opportunity to face each other twice a year in the "Toilet Bowl Classic"

I was really hoping for Sanderson, but knew I had no real shot at him at # 5.

My other option here was DE Elway, but I have both my starters locked up for a few years, and a great QB will win a lot more games than a very good pass rushing DE.

It will be interesting with Bridges, Hayes, and Lowe all in the same division.

Indeed. Our division is going to have to stock up on corners pretty soon...

Nice draft so far, no real surprises in my mind.

I hate to admit it, but I really have no clue who I want to draft yet...

I really hate the draft window in FOF2004,it's one of the worst designs in the game. Being able to see just ten or so players in one glance sucks...

I've got some ideas of who I want at my pick... but a lot can happen between now and pick 28... still open to trades though as guys I want could start dropping quickly...

In order to speed the draft up as much as possible, I would strongly suggest that everybody uses the email alert on the rookie draft thread. That way, you know right away when someone makes a pick...

I think Arizona got a steal with Leory Banks at 7th. This guy is going to be a top notch tackle for several years to come. I wanted to trade up and get him.

FWIW and if anybody's interested, according to the draft value chart, that trade between Chicago and New Orleans was relatively fair, even if Chicago comes out slightly on top.

1.06 + 3.06 = 1600 + 240 = 1840 points
1.10 + 2.10 = 1300 + 480 = 1780 points

GE, who drafted for Arizona ? I thought they were owner-less?

The drafting committee made the pick.

It was indeed a steal though. I'm a bit surprised that Tatum was taken so early. While clearly a great safety, that position is usually not that hard to fill in FOF...

There is one player that I am shocked to see still on the board.

Actually, there are two I am surprised by. I wouldn't mind either of them, but there's on I want in particularly.

I too agree that they got a steal, a potential franchise tackle with the seventh pick? A no brainer. I thought about him, but in the end, the ILB is more ready to play now and will step right in and start for us. We payed quite a bit to get him, but I am comfortable with the trade.

Hmmm.. lets see if we can get either of the top two picks to play a single down this season, shall we?
