Is that pup in the background on #3 guarding it to make sure no one fixes it up?
"The Constitution is not an instrument for the government
to restrain the people, it is an instrument for the people to restrain the
government lest it come to dominate our lives and interests." Patrick Henry
That's a great, but worrysome group. Scruffy may have to lose some hood supports and a grille... just to make it fair.
Do you know if #3 uses both mowers together? If so, that should be worth a few points.
I hope the winner is within driving distance of Cub Fest 2004. This should be fun!

George, #3 would be a pretty good drive to Cubarama, but I won't rule it out. I don't know about both mowers, but I've been trying to figure out what the jar/can is on the belly mower? Moonshine or one of Jim Becker's Texas "OIL Can" size beers

1 is bad, I mean bad. 2 is considerably worse and is definitely runner-up material. But that number 3 is the most God awful ugliest thing I have ever seen in my life! That one has to win it for sure! Somebody beat that one with an ugly stick more than once....
Confusion breeds Discussion which breeds Knowledge which breeds Confidence which breeds Friendship
Got to be number three! Also has anyone checked out the "It ran when I parked it" contest on the "Stovebolt Page" (Chevy). Notice the M Farmall on the coffee table!

252646 & 221525. 195897 (Gone but not forgotten!)
#1 has been WELL greased
probably could spare a little for #3
i'm amazed that #3 runs. that can in question (I believe) is a can of Never Sieze the beginnings of a restoration
my vote is #3
'If they're tappin', they're not burnin'
I thing I like the "Trap" in the gas line of number 1 - good for the accumilation of winter condensation.
48 CUB & 52 Super A
And the bungee cord holding the seat on is "classic".

The radiator on #1 does look small without a grille or shroud. Am I the first to notice why the engine is black? The exhaust goes under the hood without any outlet. I'll bet it's soot. Whose is it so he can confirm? Scruffy was wondering.
George Willer
The most affectionate creature in the world is a wet dog. Ambrose Bierce
I have it ! The exhaust below the hood of number 1 is a gas tank heater that works in conjunction with the gas line trap for winter operation.
48 CUB & 52 Super A
I was wondering of #1 has been converted to 12 volts or if the 12 volt battery has simply been installed with no conversion. Do you suppose the seat was installed like that or has leaned back during use? It looks like there may be no gas cap, which may explain the need for the P-trap built into the gas line.
The oversize, backward facing rear tires on #2 are a nice touch, as is the rockshaft extension with a fairly important bolt missing. However, the color of the hood is a major concern. If it is primer, I would disqualify it outright as being partly restored. If on the other hand it is a naturally occuring pattern from someone that has great difficulty dumping a can of gas in, I might be ready to vote for this one.
Number 3 has the wonderful patina that can only come from years of exposure to the elements. The grill extension sticking forward is a nice touch too. But the winning feature is the McCormick emblem that is being held by a single pin and running down hill until it runs into the FARMALL emblem. It gets my vote.

activities and attractions in Davenport Central Florida
Orlando is the number one tourist destination in the world today with current figures estimating that over 45 million tourists visit every year.
There are hundreds of attractions and places of interest to visit ranging from the high-octane rides found at the theme parks to the peace and tranquility of an afternoon on the beach, it can all be found in or around the Orlando area.
Many of the better-known attractions and theme parks are located to the south of Orlando. They include Universal Studios, Sea World, Island of Adventure, Discovery Cove, Wet N Wild and of course the Walt Disney World Complex with its four parks (the Magic Kingdom, Epcot, Animal Kingdom and MGM), three water parks (Blizzard beach, Typhoon lagoon and River country) and Downtown Disney. Also in the area is International drive, which is home to over 150 restaurants and an abundance of attractions including Wonderworks, Ripley's believe it or not and Dolly Partons Dixie Stampede.
A little further a field to the North East on the Atlantic coast you'll find miles of glorious golden beaches at Daytona and Cocoa, as well as the Daytona International speedway where many of high profile races are held including NASCAR, and you may even be lucky enough to experience a shuttle taking off from the Kennedy Space Centre.
An hours drive to the west of Orlando will bring you to the Gulf coast and the fantastic Busch Gardens theme park in Tampa. If you continue further down the Gulf coast you will pass through a number of picturesque towns such as Clearwater, St Petersburg, Fort Myers, Naples and Marco Island, all of which have beautiful beaches and are well worth a visit. Special mention must go to the white sand beaches at St Petersburg and Clearwater that were ranked number one and four respectively in a recent national survey.
A lot of tourists come to Orlando to experience the theme parks and sit around the pool, but there is so much more on offer. You can take a helicopter or balloon ride, ride an airboat through the swamps, have a picnic or try out some water sports in one of the many state parks, go horse riding, visit the museums, catch a game at one of the many pro sports teams in the area, or even go swimming with the dolphins at the excellent Discovery Cove. No matter how many times you visit or how long you stay there is always something new and exciting to experience.

PITTSBURGH -- Orioles rookie Blake Davis made his first career Major League start on Wednesday afternoon, batting eighth and playing second base. And while the 27-year-old isn't a top prospect, manager Buck Showalter didn't try to de-emphasize the magnitude of the moment.
"It's special for him," Showalter said. "It's been a long road for him, and I'm proud of him. He never gave in, and he's getting a reward for his work. I talked to our guys at Triple-A -- the coordinators -- and they thought he was worthy of the opportunity. We wanted to get Ryan [Adams] playing every day.
"I'm proud of him, regardless of what happens. Step back for a second and realize that he's 27, and he's been grinding it. He was having a good year down there, playing all over the place for them."
Davis, who didn't receive a big league Spring Training invite, had his contract selected from Triple-A Norfolk on Saturday. He hit .284 (52-for-183) with five home runs and 24 RBIs in 49 games at Norfolk. A versatile left-handed bat, Davis can play shortstop, second base and outfield.
Davis went 0-4 with a strikeout in the debut, and made a costly error in the fifth inning when he let a ground ball go through his legs. The miscue allowed the tying and eventual winning run to score.
Arrieta dealing with right elbow inflammation
PITTSBURGH -- Orioles pitcher Jake Arrieta acknowledged on Wednesday morning that the "physical problem" he referenced after Monday's five-inning start is right elbow inflammation related to the pre-existing bone spur he has in that area.
Arrieta, who opted against surgically removing the spur this offseason, said that he's not overly concerned at this point and that the elbow issue only flares up intermittently.
"There's a period there where I won't be sore or have any issues for a month, a month and a half, you know, and [then for] two or three starts, it will kind of creep up a little bit," said Arrieta, who was also slowed in a five-inning start in Chicago on April 29. "But it's just a matter of maintaining it and kind of keeping it at a level where I can go out there and still perform."
"It's something that's manageable, we hope," added Orioles manager Buck Showalter. "It's something that he can pitch with and through. You don't like it, but we're aware of it. We'll take some precautions where we can with it."
Those precautions include giving Arrieta -- who has been doing daily treatment -- extra rest when necessary. Given that the team has off-days on both Thursday and Monday, Arrieta's next start, tentatively penciled in for Wednesday against St. Louis, could be pushed back further depending on how he feels.
"As of now, I feel like I will be able to make my next start with no issue," Arrieta said. "Last time I had this was in Chicago, and [I] was able to get the job done. I battled. [It was a] very similar start to two nights ago here in Pittsburgh. If I'm able to give that and a little bit more, which I can, then I'll take it."
While Arrieta originally planned to get the spur removed in the offseason, he got a second opinion and chose to leave it in there, because he's pitched with it his entire life. Asked if this inflammation is a result of not getting the surgery as first prescribed, Showalter didn't want to pin it on that.
"It wasn't advised," Showalter said. "He got a second opinion. Believe me, I know all the history of what they say that he can do and what the precautions are. I know what the considerations are. Down the road, we'll see. Right now, it is what it is.
"If he continues down the road that he is, he should be able to make all his starts through the rest of the year. We'll see. We'll keep an eye on it, and if we have to, we'll back off."
Arrieta is 9-4 with a 4.50 ERA in 16 starts, though he labored through Monday's five-inning outing. The 25-year-old right-hander looked physically drained and showcased a dip in velocity in his final few innings before being lifted. Arrieta was charged with three earned runs on three hits and two walks in the 87-pitch start.
Russell to keep role as bench coach
PITTSBURGH -- When asked on Tuesday if the switch in roles for John Russell -- from third-base coach to bench coach -- would be something more permanent beyond the series vs. the Pirates, Orioles manager Buck Showalter left that door open.
On Wednesday, Russell confirmed that he would remain the bench coach for the majority of the season, telling the Pirates' pregame show that it's what's best for the team. Willie Randolph, who started the season as bench coach, has been the third-base coach for the three-game set in Pittsburgh. Showalter gave a multitude of reasons for the switch, including Russell's knee problems and his familiarity with the Pirates.
"It fits with where we are right now a little better," Showalter said on Tuesday, "and takes advantage of the needs of the players a little better."
Worth noting
As expected, Orioles top prospect Manny Machado was promoted to Class A Frederick on Wednesday.
The team's rotation for the weekend series against the Reds will consist of Chris Jakubauskas, Brian Matusz and Jeremy Guthrie.
With a second-inning double on Wednesday, Mark Reynolds has hits in 12 of his last 14 games.
Arrieta's nine wins ties him for the American League lead. No Orioles pitcher recorded their ninth win last season until Jeremy Guthrie did so on September 4.
An unexpected All-Star candidate? Reliever Jim Johnson, who is drawing some interest with his impressive first half of the season.

PEORIA, Ill.-- Hundreds of women have taken over the Peoria Civic Center to learn more about their faith.
The Women of Faith program brought hundreds of central Illinois women to the Peoria Civic Center on Friday and Saturday for the 'Believe God Can Do Anything' conference.
Ministry Director Lisa Harper said Peoria is the 3rd stop on their nationwide tour.
"We have usually about 25 live events a year and this year we'll see our 5 millionth woman that's attended one of our events," said Harper.
Many women have attended the conference in other cities hoping year after year that it would come to Peoria.
"I have been to other Women of Faith conferences, one in Des Moines, Iowa and one in St. Louis [that] was the closest one. So to have this right in our back yard, I was really thrilled," said Mickey Shermansky of Pekin.
"First one I attended was in 1996 in Chicago and it's changed quite a bit from that one but it's still an awesome, awesome conference and I feel very privileged that they stopped in Peoria," said Linda Frary of Peoria.
The program was a mix of speakers, bible teachers, comedians and musicians.
Bible teacher Jen Hatmaker said the conference is designed for all women no matter what age or background.
"There is no one demographic for the women who come. You don't have to have any sort of anything. You don't have to have a church background. You don't have to be in an age range. There is a beautiful diversity," said Hatmaker.
Harper said she hopes women that attend hear the message that you don't have to be perfect.
"That's really the whole point, reminding women that God loves them and they have great worth," she said.
The Women of Faith conference will be in Des Moines, Iowa next weekend and Harper said they will probably return to Peoria next year.

Last night, IDEA hosted NEXPO, the Northeastern Entrepreneurship Expo, where 25 ventures demoed their companies to over 250 attendees. The biannual event highlights ventures that have been working with IDEA to advance their businesses. The evening was filled with networking as investors and entrepreneurs from the Boston community, as well as Northeastern students and faculty visited the tables where IDEA ventures were pitching their companies and sharing the progress they have made.
During the event, Chris Wolfel, IDEA CEO, announced the winners of this month's Gap Funding: Moniker Guitars,Apifia and Akrivis. Wolfel also announced the creation of the Prototype Fund, which will be jointly administered by IDEA and the Center for Research Innovation at Northeastern.
Highlights from NEXPO
"The best part of NEXPO is definitely the people, the business cards, and the information sharing. It is a supportive, not competitive, environment that is great for networking." – Harper Lei Team
"The overall atmosphere is the best part. It's a professional setting, but you feel comfortable enough to pull someone aside and have a great conversation." – Chuck Svirk of TabTap
"NEXPO is a great opportunity to network with other start-ups to cross-promote and help each other." – Corey Bober of Collegiate Contact
"NEXPO was an excellent opportunity to link up with other young business entrepreneurs and receive valuable insight from other students on how to help expand our business." – Mike Sullivan & Izzy Haar of Imusteat
"Coming back to Northeastern and seeing how NU is giving back is very exciting. That's what this is all about, paying it forward and helping each other out." – Dave Barry (Northeastern graduate) of Moniker Guitars
Dave Barry of Moniker Guitars showing off a custom Northeastern guitar."I'm thinking about starting my own venture through IDEA and attending NEXPO was a great way to see how these ventures started and learn about what their journey has been like." – Eddie Czech, 3rd year Music Industry student at Northeastern
"The best part of NEXPO is the opportunity to get feedback from a cross-section of the community and to practice our pitch." – Jeff Sakowicz ofMyDroid

T-9 days and counting. I'm giddy like a school girl with excitement and anticipation. For fun next week I may actually do a 7-round mock draft, if I have time. As for this week, my 1st round pick has not changed. A majority of our picks for this week have not changed except for a few late rounders. With the addition of another 5th rounder the FO has to be looking to trade up for Haden or Thomas, but I don't include trades in my mock. As always I look forward to your questions, comments, and conversations.....unless your screen name is "Hi5Steeler". Just Kidding.
1. St. Louis Rams: Sam Bradford QB, Oklahoma
Team needs: QB/WR/CB/DE/OLB
What the Rams need most is a QB especially after cutting Marc Bulger. The word around the rumor mill is that they are enamored with Sam Bradford after his pro day, so unless they hit a snag during contract negotiations or make some blockbuster trade for a QB this selection is not going to change to Ndamukong Suh, who would be the favorite if they do not select a QB. They have a lot of holes to fill in the later rounds and will need targets for whoever they get to play QB for them next season as well as OLB's and DB's for a defense that was absolutely awful last season.
2. Detroit Lions: Ndamukong Suh DT, Nebraska
Team needs: OT/CB/SS/RB/WR
Trading a fifth round pick for Rob Sims seems to have changed the face of this draft. Personally even with the addition of Sims, which means that Backus will not move to LG, I think they should still draft Russell Okung because Jeff Backus is an awful LT. They paid Matt Stafford 40 million guaranteed and it would be nice if he were more than just a floor mat for opposing defenses to wipe their feet on. Here's an interesting article that explains exactly how I feel about it, http://walterfootball.com/nfldraftlionsokung.php, if only I could put my thoughts into coherent expression like that. The faith the team seems to have in Backus may indeed be a smoke screen but at this point I doubt it. The Lions seem to have interest in trading back to acquire more pick so someone looking to pay a ransom for Suh may entice the team to move off of this pick.
3. Tampa Bay Buccaneers: Gerald McCoy DT, Oklahoma
Team needs: DT/WR/DE/CB/SS
After weeks of hope that Suh would be available to them the Bucs are now stuck with the consolation prize of Gerald McCoy thanks to the Seahawks trading Rob Sims to the Lions. While they may be a little disappointed many feel that McCoy is a more complete player. What the team has lacked is a pass-rush and McCoy's skills in that regard are superior to Suh's. Trading back with a pick this high isn't really much of an option as other teams will not want to pay the amount of guaranteed money expected to a top 3 pick.
4. Washington Redskins: Russell Okung OT, Oklahoma State
Team needs: OT/QB/OG/OLB/OC
Wow I never would have guessed that the Eagles would trade Donovan McNabb to a division rival. Regardless, now the Redskins can focus on filling their number one need which is for offensive linemen, particularly a franchise LT. Mike Shanahan is a big fan of athletic tackles for his zone blocking scheme so he will be ecstatic that Okung is available. As long as he's on the board when the Redskins pick I can see any other player being given much consideration.
5. Kansas City Chiefs: Bryan Bulaga, OT, Iowa
Team needs: OT/NT/OLB/WR/Safety
Matt Cassell needs a LT that will give him enough time to throw the ball down field. KC spent a lot of money on Cassell and it would be nice if they got a return on their investment. It would also allow them to move 2008 1st round pick Brandon Albert to LG, his natural position, or RT since it doesn't seem like he can make it playing on the left side. Moving Albert to LG means they could slide Brian Waters to center and really solidify that line. GM Scott Pioli is big on positional value, which is why he reached for Tyson Jackson over Aaron Curry last year, so I don't think Eric Berry is a real option here as some may think he might be. As Peter King of SI has reported, Pioli does not like the idea of drafting a Safety with a top 5 pick. And in the last 20 years only one Safety has been picked in the top 5 of the draft (Sean Taylor).
6. Seattle Seahawks: Eric Berry S, Tennessee
Team needs: OT/DE/QB/DT/WR
Seattle needs a pass-rushing talent and a franchise LT so Derrick Morgan and Trent Williams may be options here but I can't see them passing on an elite talent like Berry. Berry is an Ed Reed clone and ran a 4.4 40 and posted a 43in vertical at the combine which can only solidify himself as a top player if there were any doubts. You have to love the kid's swagger when he makes a statement like "you better pick me or I'll pick you" with regards to any team that might pass on him in the draft. If Okung or even Bulaga were available they would probably go for either of them, but given Bruce Campbell's injury history, Anthony Davis' reputation as being inconsistent, and Trent Williams' struggles on the left side they will go for Berry instead. I gave serious consideration to giving them Jimmy Clausen but I believe that they actually believe Charlie Whitehurst is a future franchise QB.
7. Cleveland Browns: Jimmy Clausen QB, Notre Dame
Team needs: QB/FS/OLB/ILB/WR
Cleveland needs help everywhere except for LT where they have Joe Thomas. Holmgren has stated that he isn't overly impressed with Clausen but I suspect that may just be posturing so that the Bills won't jump a head of them to take him. Seneca Wallace and Jake Delhomme are not quality starting QB and even though the Browns are paying Delhomme 7mil a year it's only a short-term contract. With Berry off of the board and the recent trade for Sheldon Brown, taking any of the available DB's is looking like less of an option. They need a pass-rusher like Jason Pierre-Paul to replace the traded Kamerion Wimbley, and at some point they may need a number one receiver because Mohamed Massaquoi and Brian Robiskie are both only number two receivers at best so Dez Bryant can be thrown into the mix as well.
8. Oakland Raiders: Bruce Campbell OT, Maryland
Team needs: OT/DT/CB/DE/OLB
Bruce Campbell secured this pick by measuring in at the combine at a stout 6'6" 314lbs., with 36 1/2in arms, and add to that 34 reps on the bench press and a 4.85 40. That's enough to make undead Al foam at the mouth. Given Okung's great combine if he manages to slip this far I believe the Raiders would take him, although given his great combine I doubt he would make it past Seattle. At this point I really can't see anyone but Campbell being selected here unless Davis is even more enamored with Taylor Mays unofficial 40 time of 4.27. Even though they have Richard Seymour it's not out of the realm of possibility that they take JPP or Carlos Dunlap.
9. Buffalo Bills: Dan Williams NT, Tennessee
Team needs: OT/QB/NT/OLB/ILB
The Bills have 3 huge needs, a QB, a NT, and OT's. Unless the Browns pass on Jimmy Clausen the Bills will have to trade up or wait for a QB. So this pick will basically come down to Trent Williams or Dan Williams. The Bills will try their hand at the 3-4 defense this year and the most important cog is a quality NT to anchor the front. With the proliferation of the 3-4 over the last few years it's not hard to see a NT overvalued somewhat, which is why B.J. Raji went so high last year. There's also an outside chance they may pick Jason Pierre-Paul but it's unlikely since they selected pass rusher Aaron Maybin in the first round of last years draft.
10. Jacksonville Jaguars: Earl Thomas S, Texas
Team needs: FS/OC/OG/WR/DE
The Jags young receiving corps has come on this year and as such seems to be no longer a dire position of need, although they due lack a true number one receiver in which case they make target Dez Bryant. Derrick Morgan may still be given consideration but now that the team has signed Aaron Kampman DE has become a lesser need, as I'm sure they are still holding out hope that Derrick Harvey and Quinton Groves will pan out. Thomas would be a replacement and upgrade over the extremely disappointing Reggie Nelson. There's talk that the Jags are looking to save money so they may look to trade back with a team looking to get Jason Pierre-Paul, Rolando McClain, Joe Haden, or one of the available OT's. They could trade back with a team like the Steelers who would be targeting Joe Haden and still be able to get Everson Griffen.
11. Denver Broncos(via Chicago Bears): Joe Haden CB, Florida
Team needs: WR/NT/OC/OG/CB
I haven't seen Haden go to the Broncos in any other mock drafts but it makes a lot of sense. What they really need is a NT because Jamaal Williams is nothing more than a 34 year old stop-gap but Dan Williams is already off of the board. Until they trade Brandon Marshall they have no hole to fill for a #1 WR so Dez Bryant isn't an option. Rolando McClain is an option to replace the departed Andra Davis but they already have D.J. Williams and Wesley Woodyard is serviceable. Current starting CB's Champ Bailey and Andre Goodman are 31 and 32, with Champ becoming a free agent next offseason. Ty Law is way too old to be counted on, and last year's rookie Alphonso Smith is only a nickel CB and maybe a #2 at best. So why not take the best CB in the draft and have him learn from the best CB in the NFL over the last decade? Haden reclaimed himself as a top pick after a horrible 40 at the combine with a phenomenal pro day, running 40's of 4.39 and 4.43.
12. Miami Dolphins: Jason Pierre-Paul DE/OLB, USF
Team needs: OLB/WR/FS/NT/TE
Previously I had them choosing Dez Bryant, but Bill Parcells doesn't typically draft WR's in the first round but he does have a lot of experience drafting Linebackers. Personally I think he has a high bust rate and have compared him to Vernon Gholston on many occasions as he too is a one year wonder and a workout warrior but with a great combine he has clearly shown that he has the tangibles to be an excellent rusher at the next level. Whether or not he can parlay those skills into actual results remains to be seen. With Dan Williams off of the board they will have to wait to replace the 34 year old Jason Ferguson. The signing of Karlos Dansby makes it unlikely they will take Rolando McClain, although with the constant injuries to Channing Crowder it's not out of the question. With the release of Gibril Wilson they could draft Joe Haden with the intention of moving Sean Smith back to FS, or they could take Earl Thomas to replace Wilson. That would give Miami one of the best young secondary's in the NFL.
13. San Francisco 49ers: Trent Williams OT, Oklahoma
Team needs: RT/SS/CB/OG/RB
Williams is an absolute mauler and would fill a big position of need even before they lost Tony Pashos to free agency. The 49ers also have needs at SS where Michael Lewis has become concussion prone and at CB to replace Nate Clements who is 30 years old and not nearly worth the contract they are paying him.. If Earl Thomas, Trent Williams, and Joe Haden are all off of the board at this point I would expect them to take C.J. Spiller. He wouldn't fill an immediate position of need but would provide a pass-catching option on third downs that the team currently lacks as well as a boost in the return game after the loss of Arnaz Battles to free agency, and provide a great insurance policy for the often injured Frank Gore.
14. Seattle Seahawks (via Denver Broncos): C.J. Spiller RB, Clemson
Neither Walter Jones nor Sean Locklear can seem to stay healthy, with Jones announcing his retirement. Unfortunately all of the top tier OT's are gone so they will have to look at other options. Anthony Davis has done nothing but hurt his draft stock throughout the whole offseason evaluation process and as such I think it would be a mistake to take him this high. Charles Brown would be an option as he would fit the zone blocking style of Seattle but Spiller is a much better prospect. Justin Forsett and Julius Jones are not starting quality RB's.
15. New York Giants: Derrick Morgan DE, Georgia Tech
Team needs: MLB/DT/RT/DE/CB
After waffling between Brian Price, Rolando McClain, and Derrick Morgan I've settled with Morgan. He is a top-10 talent who's managed to slip due to so many teams making the switch to the 3-4 defense. With the release of Antonio Pierce MLB has become a glaring need for the G-men but Rolando McClain is not an ideal fit for the Tampa-2 defense that DC Perry Fewell plans to install. As Scout's Inc. writer Matt Williamson points out here, he's not a for any 4-3 defense after posting a 4.71 40. Sean Weatherspoon would be a much better fit for their defense but I can't see them passing on a talent like Morgan. They also have needs at the DT position, especially with losing Fred Robbins to free agency and Rocky Bernard having a very underwhelming season, so Brian Price will definitely come into play. In the next couple of rounds I expect them to find a replacement for Kareem McKenzie.
16. Tennessee Titans: Carlos Dunlap DE, Florida
Team needs: DE/CB/OLB/ DT/OC
Who would have thought that after a 0-6 start that Vince Young would salvage their season? They have multiple needs but Young's play means they won't be looking for a QB. Their biggest need is for pass-rushers as they were unable to get any pressure last season. Due to the lack of pressure the CB's were exposed so they will need to make upgrades in the secondary as well. I know Titans fans are going to hate this pick because Dunlap has bust written all over him, but the Titans love workout warriors and no one epitomizes that more than Dunlap.
17. San Francisco 49ers(via Carolina Panthers): Taylor Mays S, USC
Taylor Mays has a certain reputation around the mock draft community as a huge gamble for good reason. He has all the intangibles you would want in a Safety, or someone who plays any position. He's a solid 6'3" 230lbs. and ran an unofficial 4.27 40 at the combine. Unfortunately he has extremely poor cover skills. He takes bad angles and more often than not he's only looking to deliver the big hit rather than go for the ball in the air. If anyone can teach him the fundamentals of the game it's going to be coach Singletary who apparently is very high on Mays' stock.
18. Pittsburgh Steelers: Rolando McClain ILB, Alabama
Team needs: ILB/OG/NT/CB/DE
The Steelers have 11 draft picks (which includes 3 compensatory picks) but clearly they do not have 11 roster spots to fill with rookies. With the addition of the Jets 5th rounder for the trade of Santonio Holmes it now seems more likely that the Steelers will trade up to target someone they especially like. I would guess that the most likely targets will be Joe Haden and Rolando McClain, with the very dark horse being Eric Berry. Here I have McClain falling to the Steelers mostly due to his large size and his speed limitations, as he'll almost certainly have to play in a 3-4 defense in the pros and so many teams a head of the Steelers employ a 4-3. And ILB's typically tend to fall on draft day. The Steelers may move up to get him because the Giants also have a need for a MLB. Given his prior experience in the 3-4 he'll be an ideal fit for the Steelers, and be the successor to 35 year old James Farrior. McClain is very instinctive with great leadership qualities. The signing of Larry Foote will not impact the decision to draft McClain as the Steelers prefer to have their rookies, especially on defense, sit a year and learn the scheme. As previously stated the Jaguars are the most likely trading partner as they are looking to save money and trading up with them would put us in a position to take McClain, Haden, or even Earl Thomas. As a long shot option the Steelers could trade up to the 6th pick with the Seahawks, who have many more needs than the Steelers do, to get Berry. However that may provide too costly as the Steelers would have to surrender their 2nd rounder and change to get the 6th pick and this is a very deep draft. Other options should the Steelers stay at 18 would be Mike Iupati who would shore up the one weak point along the Steelers offensive line at RG, Kyle Wilson given that Ike Taylor is 30 years old an in the final year of his contract, or Jared Odrick who is a local product and would help continue the youth movement along the defensive line. The Steelers typically take the best player available whether it is at a slight position of need or a dire position of need. Personally I think it would be a slight reach if they were to take Kyle Wilson and a huge reach for someone like Maurkice Pouncey and the Steelers rarely trade back in the first round.
19. Atlanta Falcons: Brandon Graham DE, Michigan
Team needs: DE/OLB/DT/WR/Safety
The Falcons will take the best defensive player available, particularly an OLB or DE. The signing of Dunta Robinson means that CB is no loner a need for them. I've decided to give them Graham because GM Thomas Dimitroff is a Scott Pioli disciple and puts a big emphasis on positional value. He would take the place of first round bust Jamaal Anderson. Sean Weatherspoon is an option as current starting WLB Mike Peterson is 34 years old. They also have needs for a solid #2 WR because Michael Jenkins just isn't cutting it.
20. Houston Texans: Kyle Wilson CB, Boise State
Team needs: CB/FS/OG/NT/RB
The Texans need help in multiple areas, specifically on defense after they let the unhappy Dunta Robinson leave via free agency, and in the interior defensive line after sending former 1st round pick Travis Johnson to the Chargers earlier in the year. Kyle Wilson is a slight reach here in my opinion but he will fill a dire position of need. They also need help on the offensive side of the trenches, specifically along the interior so Mike Iupati is an option. They could also reach for Terrence Cody, or Ryan Matthews who would be a good fit for their zone blocking scheme.
21. Cincinnati Bengals: Dez Bryant WR, Oklahoma State
Team needs: WR/FS/TE/ILB/OG
The Bengals only real needs are for WR's and safeties and here they manage to take the top WR in the draft. There have been many questions raised about his maturity level but as recent draft history has shown us the Bengals are more than willing to draft players with character issues. Outside of Chad OchoCinco, none of their WR's has had much of an impact this year. They signed Antonio Bryant but he's not the answer to the WR issues. If none of the WR options at this point are preferable to the Bengals they would certainly consider Oklahoma TE Jermaine Gresham.
22. New England Patriots: Jared Odrick DT/DE, PSU
Team needs: OLB/DE/WR/TE/RB
After the Richard Seymour trade to Oakland, the Patriots defense suffered greatly. Odrick is a great 3-technique DT that has the size and strength to convert to 3-4 DE much like Seymour did when he came out of college. The Patriots also need more youth and depth in their linebacking corps. After losing Ben Watson and Chris Baker to free agency they will need to find another TE, and will be tempted to take Gresham given that he's still available and Belichick has a history of taking TE's in the first round. Given how much the Patriots like to trade back, it would actually surprise me if they keep this pick, especially considering how deep the talent pool is in this draft.
23. Green Bay Packers: Charles Brown OT, USC
Team needs: OT/CB/Safety/OG/DE
The Packers have had to compensate for the lack of talent at OT by adjusting their scheme to keep TE's in to block. Adding some OT depth would really help open up that potent offense. After losing Aaron Kampman to free agency they may consider Jerry Hughes and Sergio Kindle who are both still on the board to add as a pass-rushing threat to go across from Clay Matthews. Green Bay also needs to start looking at replacements for their aging secondary but will find better value for that in the next 2 rounds, especially with Kyle Wilson already off of the board.
24. Philadelphia Eagles: Sean Weatherspoon OLB, Missouri
Team needs: OLB/CB/DE/OT/FS
The Eagles are a solid team but have multiple needs at OLB after trading Chris Gocong who never fit into Philly's defensive scheme, and where they cut Will Witherspoon. With the signing of Marlin Jackson they have found a replacement for the dreadful Sean Jones at FS. After trading away Sheldon Brown to Cleveland the Eagles definitely have a need for a CB, but with Kyle Wilson already off of the board they will take Sean Weatherspoon who is a better prospect than CB Devin McCourty.
25. Baltimore Ravens: Jermaine Gresham TE, Oklahoma
Team needs: CB/TE/DE/WR/OC
With the newly acquired Anquan Boldin WR is no longer a dire need for the Ravens, although they may still look for one in the later rounds. This pick comes down to a CB given that the team lacks a #1 corner, a DE to replace an aging Trevor Price, and a TE because despite a solid season last year Todd Heap has had a long injury history and is on the downswing of his career. Gresham is by far the best TE in the draft and would pair perfectly with young QB Joe Flacco for years to come. This draft is deep with corners and plenty will be available in round 2. With CB Kyle Wilson and DE Jared Odrick already off of the board, and the trade for Boldin I really can't see this pick being anything other than Gresham except for maybe an OLB if they don't feel Paul Kruger can develop into a 3-4 pass-rusher.
26. Arizona Cardinals: Anthony Davis OT, Rutgers
Team needs: OT/OLB/ILB/CB/NT
Arizona's biggest need for a long time has been for a LT. They drafted Levi Brown a couple years ago but he has struggled on the left side. Anthony Davis has caused his stock to plummet all offseason due to a poor combine workout and bad interviews. Apparently during his pro day he refused to participate in some of the drills and really rubbed some team reps the wrong way. Due to his potential though there is no way that he falls out of the first round and Arizona will almost be forced to take him on his potential. With OC Russ Grimm's illustrious background he should be able to whip Davis into shape. OLB's Haggans, Okeafor, and Berry are all 33 years old or older so they will definitely be interested in Sergio Kindle and Jerry Hughes. They signed Joey Porter but he seems intent on spending the season in jail rather than on the Cardinals defense. With the extra picks they acquired from Baltimore in the trade for Anquan Boldin I would expect them to package them with this pick to move up for one of the elite Tackle prospects such as Bryan Bulaga or Trent Williams if they fall a little from the top of the draft.
27. Dallas Cowboys: Mike Iupati OG, Idaho
Team needs: OT/FS/OG/NT/ILB
Mike Iupati fits the bill of exactly what the Cowboys look for in an offensive lineman, a big mauler. Apparently the Cowboys reps were very interested in Iupati at the Senior Bowl. Unless Taylor Mays or Anthony Davis manages to slip I can't see the Cowboys giving much consideration to anyone else. There's a slight chance they may consider speedster Golden Tate to play slot receiver because of his ability to stretch the field.
28. San Diego Chargers: Ryan Matthews RB, Fresno State
Team needs: NT/RB/DE/ FS/CB
The Chargers have two pressing needs, one for a NT to replace the Jamal Williams who was signed by the Broncos, and for a RB after the release of LaDainian Tomlinson. Unfortunately the only NT with a 1st round grade is already taken, and I don't think that General Manager A.J. Smith will gamble on "Mount" Cody with a 1st round pick given that it's become highly probably that he'll eat himself out of the league in a couple years unless he has to in the event that all of their other targets are already taken. Even with the fast 40 times of Spiller and Jahvid Best it was Mathews who had the best combine performance in my opinion. He ran a 4.4 40 and looked very solid in catching the ball which is something San Diego covets in its RB's.
29. New York Jets: Sergio Kindle DE/OLB, Texas
Team needs: DE/OLB/WR/FS/NT
With the Jets trade for Antonio Cromartie to play opposite Darrell Revis, their greatest needs become a DE considering Shaun Ellis is coming off of an injury and Marques Douglas is a free agent and both are 33 years old, and a rush linebacker. They go with Hughes to replace 1st round bust Vernon Gholston since Jared Odrick is already off the board. Now that they have traded for Santonio Holmes there is absolutely no reason for them to target a WR early.
30. Minnesota Vikings: Maurkice Pouncey OG/OC, Florida
Team needs: CB/FS/MLB/OG/DT
The Vikings biggest weaknesses are in the secondary and along the interior of the offensive line. Current CB's Griffin (torn ACL) and Winfield (Foot) are both nursing injuries, with Griffen unlikely to be ready for the start of the season. Along the interior line they could use an upgrade for John Sullivan and Anthony Herrera. Fortunately Pouncey is versatile enough to play either Center or Guard. The Vikings could also consider FS Nate Allen, CB Devin McCourty, or MLB Daryl Washington and in the later rounds I expect them to draft a RB to replace Chester Taylor.
31. Indianapolis Colts: Brian Price DT, UCLA
Team needs: OT/DT/OG/DE/Safety
Without any cornerstone LT's left, which is their biggest need, the Colts will focus on defense. I know the Colts do not typically invest early round picks on defense but it's about time that they start. They are really lacking depth at DT and Price is a great 3 technique player. Like Derrick Morgan, Price is the victim of the proliferation of the 3-4 defense. They may continue the trend of drafting offense in the 1st in which case they would go for Maurkice Pouncey if he's available to shore up a weak point at OG where Mike Pollack was lacking all year. I've also seen a couple of mock drafts where the Colts reach for an OT prospect like Rodger Saffold. Now that they have resigned Gary Brackett, MLB is no longer an issue for them.
32. New Orleans Saints: Everson Griffen DE, USC
Team needs: DE/DT/OLB/Safety/OC
With an already formidable offense the Saints will look to upgrade a defense that was hot and very cold all season long. Their biggest need is a DE to replace Charles Grant. The Saints are lucky to have Griffen fall into their lap at the end of the 1st round. I don't believe that the signing of Alex Brown will impact this pick unless Brian Price is available. In the event that Price and Griffen are both gone they will go with LaMarr Houston to pair with Sedrick Ellis or a FS like Nate Allen to replace Darren Sharper who may sign elsewhere.
Round 2:
33. St. Louis Rams: Golden Tate WR, Notre Dame
Now that the Rams have their QB of the future they need weapons for him to throw the ball to.
34. Detroit Lions: Devin McCourty CB, Rutgers
They traded for Chris Houston but he's only a #2 CB at best. Before the combine McCourty graded out as a late 2nd round prospect, but after running the fastest 40 time (4.34) of any DB and looking very fluid in the drills he's managed to catapult himself into the number 3 CB slot.
35. Tampa Bay Buccaneers: Arrelious Benn WR, Illinois
The Bucs need WR's to help the progression of young QB Josh Freeman. Michael Clayton has been underwhelming so far in his career and Antonio Bryant was lost to free agency.
36. Kansas City Chiefs: Terrence Cody DT, Alabama
Even though he may eat himself out of the league in a couple years, which is why he's slipped out of the 1st round to begin with, the Chiefs are not going to pass up the chance to solidify their defensive front with someone who is could be a dominant 2-down NT.
37. Philadelphia Eagles (via Washington Redskins): Kareem Jackson CB, Alabama
They find a replacement for the traded Sheldon Brown.
38. Cleveland Browns: Jerry Hughes OLB, TCU
After trading Kamerion Wimbley to the Raiders they are now in desperate need of a pass-rusher.
39. Oakland Raiders: Jeff Owens DT, UGA
Jeff Owens did 44 reps on the bench press which makes him a great player in the eyes of the Crypt Keeper.
40. San Diego Chargers (via Seattle Seahawks): Cam Thomas, NT, UNC
They are in dire need of a replacement for Jamaal Williams.
41. Buffalo Bills: Rodger Saffold OT, Indiana
The Bills dire need for an OT gets filled here.
42. Tampa Bay Buccaneers (via Chicago Bears): Patrick Robinson CB, FSU
He would be an upgrade and successor to Rhonde Barber, as well as make a formidable tandem with Aqib Talib.
43. Miami Dolphins: Nate Allen FS, USF
The Dolphins need a replacement for Gibril Wilson.
44. New England Patriots (via Jacksonville Jaguars): Koa Misi DE/OLB, Utah
Misi has been nothing short of spectacular this offseason, first at the Senior Bowl, then at the combine, and finally at his pro day.
45. Denver Broncos: J.D. Walton OC, Baylor
They need a replacement for Casey Wiegmann.
46. New York Giants: Jamar Chaney ILB, Miss. State
Chaney ran a 4.51 40 at the combine and would be a great addition as the Giants convert to the Tampa-2.
47. New England Patriots (via Tennessee Titans): Rob Gronkowski TE, Arizona
The Patriots need a TE after losing two in free agency.
48. Carolina Panthers: Brandon LaFell WR, LSU
Team needs: WR/DT/OG/DE/OT
Now that Jake Delhomme is gone and Matt Moore will be the starting QB next season, they need someone to throw to besides Steve Smith. LaFell drops considerably due to a poor 40 time but is a solid possession receiver and a very underrated downfield blocker.
49. San Francisco 49ers: Vladimir Ducasse OG/OT, UMass
Just the sort of big, run-blocking lineman Coach Singletary loves.
50. Kansas City Chiefs (via Atlanta Falcons): Rickey Sapp DE/OLB, Clemson
They need a pass-rusher to play opposite of Tamba Hali.
51. Houston Texans: Ben Tate RB, Auburn
They need a power RB that can fit their zone blocking scheme.
52. Pittsburgh Steelers: Morgan Burnett FS, Georgia Tech
They need a successor to Ryan Clark, and it's not going to be Will Allen.
53. New England Patriots: Damian Williams WR, USC
Williams is the perfect #2 WR to compliment Randy Moss.
54. Cincinnati Bengals: Jimmy Graham TE, Miami
Carson Palmer has not had a serious pass-catching threat at TE his whole time in Cincinnati. The hype machine is starting to build on Graham who has a lot of potential but very little game experience.
55. Philadelphia Eagles: Daryl Washington OLB, TCU
Washington would replace Will Witherspoon. Putting him with Stewart Bradley and first round pick Sean Weatherspoon would give Philly a great young linebacking core.
56. Green Bay Packers: Chris Cook CB/FS, Virginia
They fill their second biggest need for youth in the secondary.
57. Baltimore Ravens: Tyson Alualu DT/DE, Cal
They find a replacement for Trevor Price. Alualu already has experience playing in a 3-4 defense.
58. Arizona Cardinals: Jason Worilds OLB, Va. Tech
The Cards fill their need for youth at the OLB position.
59. Dallas Cowboys: Reshad Jones S, Georgia
The Cowboys need FS depth after cutting Ken Hamlin.
60. Seattle Seahawks (via San Diego Chargers): Tony Washington OT, Abilene Christian
Washington is a good tackle and hopefully for his sake teams will look past the fact that he's a registered, although non-violent, sex offender.
61. New York Jets: Alex Carrington DT/DE, Arkansas State
Ellis and Douglas are both 33 years old, with Ellis coming off of an injury and Douglas a pending free agent.
62. Minnesota Vikings: Brandon Ghee CB, Wake Forest
Cedric Griffin will not be ready by the start of the season.
63. Indianapolis Colts: Jermaine Cunningham DE, Florida
The Colts need youth and depth at the DE position. When Freeney is injured they have no pass-rush.
64. New Orleans Saints: Navarro Bowman OLB, PSU
Scott Shanle is a liability against the run.
Round 3:
65. St. Louis Rams: Dekota Watson OLB, FSU
This starts the defensive overhaul. The Rams have nothing at WLB after letting Paris Lenon walk in free agency.
66. Detroit Lions: Chad Jones S, LSU
Jones would pair nicely with Louis Delmas.
67. Tampa Bay Buccaneers: Corey Wootton DE, Northwestern
They fill their need for a LDE to replace Jimmy Wilkerson who may not be back from injury to start the season.
68. Kansas City Chiefs: Demaryius Thomas WR, Georgia Tech
They can't be completely confident in having Chris chambers as their #2 WR.
69. Oakland Raiders: Mitch Petrus OG, Arkansas
Oakland needs an OG and Petrus put up 44 reps on the bench press, which makes him a steal in the 3rd as far as Al Davis is concerned.
70. Philadelphia Eagles (via Seattle Seahawks): Matt Tennant OC, Boston College
Jamaal Jackson tore his ACL and may not be ready for the start of the season.
71. Cleveland Browns: Major Wright FS, Florida
They need a replacement for Brodney Pool.
72. Buffalo Bills: Thaddeus Gibson DE/OLB, Ohio State
The Bills need a pass-rusher to play opposite of Aaron Maybin, especially with Aaron Schobel hinting about retirement.
73. Miami Dolphins: Linval Joseph DT, East Carolina
The Dolphins need an upgrade at NT.
74. Jacksonville Jaguars: John Jerry OG, Ole' Miss.
They could use an upgrade to create running lanes for MJD.
75. Chicago Bears: Jon Asamoah OG, Illinois
Team needs: OG/FS/ DE/DT/OC
They have a major need at LG.
76. New York Giants: LaMarr Houston DT, Texas
The G-men need an upgrade along the interior of the defensive line.
77. Tennessee Titans: Dominique Franks CB, Oklahoma
Nick Harper needs to be replaced.
78. Carolina Panthers: Marshall Newhouse OG, TCU
They need an upgrade over Keydrick Vincent.
79. San Francisco 49ers: Jahvid Best RB, Cal
Best would give them the pass-catching third down back they've been missing.
80. Denver Broncos: Brandon Spikes ILB, Florida
He would provide competition and a possible upgrade over Wesley Woodyard.
81. Houston Texans: Darrell Stuckey S, Kansas
Eugene Wilson cannot stay healthy.
82. Pittsburgh Steelers: Akwasi Owusu-Ansah CB, IUP
This is a value pick. The Steelers have greater needs at OG, OC, and DE but any of the available players would be big reaches. AOA ran a 4.31 40 at his pro day and would be a great special teamer which is something that has been an issue for the team in recent years. He has 5 career returns for TD's. Interesting side note, Akwasi means "Born on Sunday" which sounds like he was destined to play football.
83. Atlanta Falcons: A.J. Edds OLB, Iowa
The Falcons fill their second biggest need which is an upgrade at WLB. Edds is a SLB but would allow them to move Stephen Nicolas to WLB.
84. Cincinnati Bengals: Amari Spivey CB, Iowa
This is a BPA situation. They have a greater need at FS but any of the available prospects would be considered a reach. Spivey would be an upgrade over Morgan Trent as the nickel CB.
85. Cleveland Browns (From Oakland Raiders via New England Patriots): Anthony Dixon RB, Miss. State
He would be a powerful compliment to Jerome Harrison.
86. Green Bay Packers: Dexter McCluster RB/WR Ole' Miss.
They need depth behind Ryan Grant.
87. Philadelphia Eagles: Kyle Calloway OT Iowa
BPA situation as they could use some OT depth.
88. Arizona Cardinals (via Baltimore Ravens): Sean Lee ILB, PSU
They really need ILB depth, especially after losing Dansby to FA.
89. Arizona Cardinals: Torrell Troup DT, Central Florida
They really need an upgrade over Alan Branch.
90. Dallas Cowboys: Jared Veldheer OT, Hillsdale
He's the kind of massive lineman the Cowboys prefer.
91. San Diego Chargers: Larry Asante SS, Nebraska
They could use an upgrade at both Safety positions.
92. Cleveland Browns (via New York Jets): Mardy Gilyard WR, Cincinnati
If they believe either Massaquoi or Robiskie can be a number one receiver the Browns will still need a solid slot receiver.
93. Minnesota Vikings: Carlton Mitchell WR, USF
They need competition for Bernard Berrian.
94. Indianapolis Colts: Jason Fox OT, Miami
This may be a bit of a gamble given Fox's knee injury, but if not for the injury he would be an early 2nd round selection. Fox is the type of lean, athletic lineman the Colts prefer and if his knee passes the physical he could become the franchise LT they've been missing.
95. New Orleans Saints: D'Anthony Smith DT, Louisiana Tech
The Saints find someone to pair with Sedrick Ellis.
96 Comp. pick: Cincinnati Bengals: Perry Riley OLB, LSU
Dhani Jones is 32 years old and in the final year of his contract.
97 Comp pick: Tennessee Titans: Roddrick Muckelroy OLB, Texas
They need OLB depth.
98 Comp. pick: Atlanta Falcons: Andre Roberts WR, Citadel
They need a solid #2 WR.
Round 4:
99. St. Louis Rams: Austen Lane DE, Murray State
Leonard Little will be 36 years old.
100. Detroit Lions: Montario Hardesty RB, Tennessee
Kevin Smith had a serious ACL tear and may not be ready for the start of the season.
101. Tampa Bay Buccaneers: Daniel Te'o-Nesheim DE, Washington
This time they upgrade the RDE spot.
102. Kansas City Chiefs: Robert Johnson FS, Utah
Since they cut Bernard Pollard I can't name a single Safety on their roster without having to look it up.
103. Washington Redskins: Mike Johnson OG, Alabama
Another great, athletic lineman that is prefect for Shanahan's zone blocking scheme.
104. Seattle Seahawks: Perrish Cox CB, Oklahoma State
They need an upgrade over Ken Lucas.
105. Philadelphia Eagles (via Cleveland Browns): Anthony McCoy TE, USC
Brent Celek is a good pass-catcher but a really bad blocker.
106. Oakland Raiders: Jacoby Ford WR, Clemson
Ford ran the fastest 40 at the combine, enough said.
107. Buffalo Bills: Mike Neal DT/DE, Purdue
Neal is versatile enough to play DE in a 3-4 and DT in a 4-3.
108. Jacksonville Jaguars: Eric Olsen OC, Notre Dame
Brad Meester is 33 years old.
109. Chicago Bears: Myron Lewis CB/FS, Vanderbilt
Their second biggest hole gets filled.
110. Miami Dolphins: Aaron Hernandez TE, Florida
They need a pass-catching TE and Graham is an excellent athlete who had a great combine.
111. Tennessee Titans: Sergio Render OG, Va. Tech
They need OG depth.
112. Carolina Panthers: Geno Atkins DT, UGA
They need DT depth.
113. San Francisco 49ers: Riley Cooper WR, Florida
They need a slot receiver.
114. Denver Broncos: Jonathan Dwyer RB, Georgia Tech
They need RB depth behind Knowshon Moreno.
115. New York Giants: A.J. Jefferson CB, Fresno State
They need CB depth after losing Kevin Dockery to free agency.
116. Pittsburgh Steelers: Ed Wang OT, Va. Tech
The Steelers need OT depth; it's time to cut ties with Tony Hills.
117. Atlanta Falcons: Zane Beatles OT, Utah
The Falcons need OT depth.
118. Houston Texans: Donovan Warren CB, Michigan
They still need secondary depth. He's slipped due to a horrible combine and pro day but could end up being the steal of the draft.
119. New England Patriots: Joe McKnight RB, USC
He is the sort of versatile passing option that is a perfect fit for Belichick's offense.
120. Cincinnati Bengals: Kurt Coleman S, Ohio State
They need competition for Chris Crocker.
121. Philadelphia Eagles: Brandon Lang DE, Troy
They could use some depth if Darrell Tapp doesn't work out.
122. Green Bay Packers: Myron Rolle SS, FSU
Atari Bigby is always hurt.
123. Arizona Cardinals (via Baltimore Ravens): Jerome Murphy CB, USF
Competition for Bryant McFadden would did not have a good year.
124. New York Jets (via Arizona Cardinals): Harry Coleman S, LSU
They need depth behind an injury prone Brodney Pool.
125. Dallas Cowboys: Phillip Dillard ILB, Nebraska
Keith Brooking is 35 years old.
126. San Diego Chargers: John Skelton QB, Fordham
After trading Charlie Whitehurst to the Seahawks they need a young back-up to develop.
127. Seattle Seahawks (From Philadelphia Eagles via New York Jets): Willie Young DE, N.C. State
They need someone better than the newly acquired Chris Clemons.
128. Minnesota Vikings: Arthur Jones DT, Syracuse
They need DT depth especially if Pat Williams retires.
129. Indianapolis Colts: Rennie Curran OLB, Georgia
If Curran were just a little bit bigger he would be a 1st round pick, as it stands now he's a perfect fit for the Colts cover-2.
130. New Orleans Saints: Jeremy Williams WR, Tulane
BPA situation as Williams, who is a local product and sure to be fan favorite, is a much better prospect than reaching for any of the available OC's or FS's.
131 Comp. pick: Cincinnati Bengals: Vince Oghobaase DT, Duke
They could use some depth at the DT position.
Round 5:
132. St. Louis Rams: Dennis Pitta TE, BYU
They need a safety-valve for their young QB and Randy McMichael needs to be replaced.
133. Seattle Seahawks (via Detroit Lions): Taylor Price WR, Ohio
They need WR depth.
134. Cleveland Browns (via Tampa Bay Buccaneers): Sam Young OT, Notre Dame
They need OT depth.
135. Washington Redskins: Selvish Capers OT, WV
They have a need for a RT.
136. Kansas City Chiefs: Javier Arenas CB, Alabama
They need CB depth and someone to take over the return duties from Jamaal Charles.
137. Philadelphia Eagles (via Cleveland Browns): Jarrett Brown QB, WV
McNabb has been traded as will Vick, either this offseason or next. Either way they need a capable back-up and Brown is a mobile developmental QB who would be a good fit for a West Coast offense.
138. Oakland Raiders: Patrick Stoudamire CB, Western Illinois
The Raiders need someone to cover opposite of Nnamdi Asomugha.
139. Seattle Seahawks: Derrick Hardman OT, Eastern Kentucky
They still need OT depth.
140. Buffalo Bills: Blair White WR, Michigan State
They could really use some depth at WR.
141. Chicago Bears: Earl Mitchell DT, Arizona
With the constant injuries to Tommy Harris they need some DT depth.
142. Kansas City Chiefs (via Miami Dolphins): T.J. Ward S, Oregon
They drafted a FS in the last round, now they fill their need for a SS.
143. Jacksonville Jaguars: Tim Tebow QB, Florida
Before all of the Jags fan start in on this one, they need a young talent to push David Garrard. Tebow would fill that need as well as be an attendance draw to boost ticket sales.
144. Kansas City Chiefs (via Carolina Panthers): Pat Angerer ILB, Iowa
They need ILB depth and Derrick Johnson is not exactly Coach Haley's favorite player.
145. San Francisco 49ers: Darryl Sharpton ILB, Miami
Takeo Spikes is 34 years old.
146. Cleveland Browns (from Detroit Lions via Denver Broncos): Van Eskridge S, East Carolina
After letting the injury prone Brodney Pool leave via free agency they need someone to replace him.
147. New York Giants: Mike Tepper OT, Cal
They need a replacement for Kareem McKenzie.
148. Tennessee Titans: Corey Peters DT, Kentucky
They need a solid starter to play with Tony Brown.
149. Atlanta Falcons: Nate Collins DT, Virginia
They could use some DT depth.
150. Houston Texans: Jevan Snead QB, Ole' Miss
If Matt Schaub ever gets hurt they are screwed. Snead needs some work on his decision-making skills but he has the arm and accuracy to make all the NFL throws.
151. Pittsburgh Steelers: Toby Gerhart RB, Stanford
Gerhart is epitome of what the Steelers love in a player. He's a tough, blue-collar type with high character which is something the Steelers could use right about now.
152. Cincinnati Bengals: Thomas Austin OG, Clemson
Bobbie Williams is 33 years old.
153. Tampa Bay Buccaneers (via New England Patriots): LeGarrette Blount RB, Oregon
Derrick Ward was a bad signing.
154. Green Bay Packers: Eric Norwood OLB, South Carolina
They could use an upgrade at the rush-linebacker spot opposite of Clay Matthews.
155. Pittsburgh Steelers (from New York Jets (via Philadelphia Eagles): Brandon Carter OG, Texas Tech
Brandon Carter is a mountain of a man at 6'6", 319lbs. He has the size to play OG or OT, and has even played some DT which makes him the type of versatile player Coach Tomlin loves. His wild man persona may turn off the FO but he would be a lot of fun to watch on Sundays, and in the 5th round there isn't much of a gamble with him. As stated in the 1st round description, it's highly unlikely that the Steelers will keep this pick.
156. Baltimore Ravens: Walter Thurmond CB, Oregon
Lardarius Webb was a pleasant surprise this past year but they still lack quality depth.
157. Baltimore Ravens (via Arizona Cardinals): Donald Butler ILB, UConn
Ray Lewis can't play forever and Tavares Gooden hasn't really become a premier player yet.
158. Oakland Raiders (from New England Patriots via Denver Broncos via Dallas Cowboys: Andrew Tyshovnytsky OT, Fordham
The Raiders had a need for a RT and he ran a 4.91 40 and did 33 reps on the bench press at his pro day.
159. San Diego Chargers: C.J. Wilson DT/DE, East Carolina
Louis Castillo misses a lot of games.
160. Cleveland Browns (via New York Jets): Shawn Lauvao OG, ASU
They need OG depth.
161. Minnesota Vikings: Joe Pawelek ILB, Baylor
They need competition for Jasper Brinkley.
162. Indianapolis Colts: Alterraun Verner CB, UCLA
They need CB depth.
163. St. Louis Rams (from Philadelphia Eagles via New Orleans Saints): James Starks RB, Buffalo
The Rams have no depth behind Steven Jackson.
164. Comp. pick: Pittsburgh Steelers: Ed Dickson TE, Oregon
The Steelers need a back-up TE that can block and catch, of which Matt Spaeth can do neither.
165. Comp. pick: Atlanta Falcons: Leigh Tiffin K, Alabama
Jason Elam and Matt Bryant were both awful last year.
166. Comp. pick: Pittsburgh Steelers: Barry Church SS, Toledo
Church has the skill to immediately challenge Ryan Mundy for the right to back-up Troy P.
167. Comp. pick: Minnesota Vikings: Jeff Byers OC, USC
They need an upgrade of John Sullivan. Drafting Byers means that they could leave 1st round pick Pouncey at RG to replace Anthony Herrera.
168. Comp. pick: San Diego Chargers: Marcus Easley WR, UConn
They lost Kassim Osgood to FA this year, and both Vincent Jackson and Malcolm Floyd are FA's next year.
169. Comp. pick: Green Bay Packers: John Estes OC, Hawaii
The Packers need interior O line depth.
There are several possible 6th and 7th rounders that could be targets which include:
Clifton Geathers DE, South Carolina
At 6'7" 300lbs he would be a good project player who could compete for the future starting DE job across from Ziggy Hood.
Eric Decker WR, Minnesota
If not for a foot injury that cost him his senior year Decker would probably be a 2nd round pick.
Antonio Coleman DE/OLB, Auburn
He was a force in the SEC his entire career. He's a solid pass-rusher but not the best run-stuffer.
O'Brian Schofield OLB, Wisconsin
If not for an ACL tear on the first day of Senior Bowl practices he would be a 3rd round pick.
Ekom Udofia NT, Stanford
He's 6'2", 315lbs. and could be a solid back-up NT, and maybe even a starter byt the time Casey Hampton is gone.
Erik Cook OC, New Mexico
At 6'6" 310lbs. he's got the big body to fir our blocking scheme.
Garrett Lindholm K, Tarleton State
He kicked a 64 yarder during a game last season and hit 3 of 4 at 60 yards during his pro day. Come draft day he'll probably be taken ahead of Leigh Tiffin.

Waterhouse Inquiry under investigationby Nick Powell
A high court judge, Mrs Justice Macur, is starting work on what the Home Secretary says will be an an urgent investigation into whether the Waterhouse Inquiry into child abuse of children in care in north Wales did its job properly. This response to allegations that a paedophile ring centred on the Bryn Estyn home near Wrexham involved a cabinet minister has been made in a matter of days.
It's a sign of changing attitudes to the credibility of claims by people who say they were abused as children that the UK government has moved so swiftly. The Waterhouse inquiry was only set up after years of claims and unsuccessful investigations. When the report was published in February 2000 it was widely welcomed and praised for its thoroughness and for its recommendations. When the First Minister met the Children's Commissioner to discuss the latest developments, he recognised that progress was made as result of the Waterhouse report.
– Carwyn Jones AM, First Minister
Both of us fully recognised that the care of children and young people, and the voices of the victims of child abuse, must be central to the investigations underway. We also recognise progress has been made as a result of the recommendations in the Waterhouse Inquiry, not least the creation of the Children's Commissioner for Wales.
During our talks Keith Towler confirmed that his office is actively dealing with a number of people who have contacted him since the weekend.The office of the Commissioner is wholly independent, and that is why I would again urge anyone who has any relevant information or concerns to come forward and contact Keith and his team.
Keith Towler will now meet with representatives appointed by the UK Government to understand further their proposed course of action and explore what role his office could have in this process.
Fresh allegations about a cover-up have led to claims that the Waterhouse Inquiry didn't ask the right questions or was too restricted by the terms of reference it was given by the Welsh Secretary, Williams Hague. They were:
- to inquire into the abuse of children in care in the former county council areas of Gwynedd and Clwyd since 1974
- to examine whether the agencies and authorities responsible for such care, through the placement of the children or through the regulation or management of the facilities, could have prevented the abuse or detected its occurrence at an earlier stage
- to examine the response of the relevant authorities and agencies to allegations and complaints of abuse made either by children in care, children formerly in care or any other persons, excluding scrutiny of decisions whether to prosecute named individuals in the light of this examination
- to consider whether the relevant caring and investigative agencies discharged their functions appropriately and, in the case of the caring agencies, whether they are doing so now; and to report its findings and to make recommendations to him
The decision not to look at decisions to prosecute reflects the belief at the time that child abuse allegations were often impossible to prove. Sir Ronald Waterhouse didn't name alleged abusers in his report, unless they had already been identified in court proceedings. This was not to avoid prejudicing any future trials but because he thought no such trials would take place. Here's how Sir Ronald described the problem:
The difficulty of prosecuting individuals for specific paedophile offences alleged to have occurred many years ago on the testimony of the complainant alone or with the aid of only vulnerable corroborative evidence.
The very different climate today is illustrated by the very different treatment of Steve Messham. He says he wasn't even allowed to make his most serious allegations to the Waterhouse inquiry about what happened to him. Now he's had an urgent meeting with the Secretary of State for Wales to discuss his claims.
I am grateful to Mr Messham for meeting with me today. I have had the opportunity to listen to him and I hope that he feels reassured by the Government's response and the action now being taken. We discussed the announcement made today by the Home Secretary and the investigations that will now be launched.
He has welcomed the involvement of the Director General of the National Crime Agency, Keith Bristow, to lead the review the historic police investigation, and to investigate the new allegations of historic abuse at the North Wales care homes.
This investigation, coupled with that into the Waterhouse Inquiry, announced by the Prime Minister yesterday underlines this Government's commitment to ensure that it will do everything in its power to help the victims and get to the bottom of the terrible allegations.

An old nursing home has reopened in Poseyville, this time as a restaurant.
After a whole host of renovations, including a new floor and a new grill, the Tail Gate Restaurant opened up in the cafeteria portion of the building.
Owners Chris and James Eaton, of Poseyville, began renovating back in September and have settled on a 'casual diner' theme. They think it's a great place for neighbors, and especially teenagers, to visit and grab a bite to eat.
My son is 15, almost 16 years old and one of his complaints is there isn't a whole lot to do around Poseyville for the teenagers," said James Eaton, Co-Owner. "So we kind of decided to open this up and see if we could give them something to do."
They're more active," said Chris Eaton, Co-Owner. "It gives them a place to hang out together and they're safe."
With some time, the owners also hope to open an antique store in the same building.

NATIONAL TEAM RIDER SHELLEY OLDS' BIKE IS STOLEN TWO DAYS BEFORE
September 30, 2008 – Grave misfortune has struck within the PROMAN

it and grow to appreciate everything about it. It wouldn't be quite
the tragedy it is if not for Track National Championships just two

bicycle and I am offering a rewardâ€

Shelley's career is just two days away,†explained Nicola Cranmer,
General Manager of PROMAN Women's Professional Cycling Team. "But it's
also a terrible misfortune because BMC had the frame flown in from
Switzerland especially for Track Nationals and the UCI World Cups and
all of our sponsors have been so generous in their support of our
team, and our staff has worked so hard to get all of Shelley's
equipment dialed in and has maintained it so that it has worked
flawlessly over the past two years.â€

As the scouting combine rolls on, Friday was the day Bengals head coach Marvin Lewis spoke to the media. Here's a recap of what he had to say.
Stop by for some of our NFL Thoughts, and be sure to chime in with a few of your own.
Thanks to his two Super Bowl titles, Tom Coughlin gets associated with pretty good company in the coaching fraternity. He may not be on the Bill Walsh level when it comes to ingenuity or the...
Motivated by looking at famous coaches who lasted a long time with one team and were not ultimately that successful, I checked the record of the guy who is the closest comparison. It turns out...
On deciding to pick up Vontaze Burfict and his continued development: "When I watched him on tape, he had traits of a very good linebacker. I said, 'Okay, let's give it a shot.' We weren't going to pick him unless he fell through and if we could sign him, we would. I've got to credit Vontaze for chiseling off the weight that he showed up in Indianapolis with or even in his senior season. And from the day I was there on campus at Arizona State, I guess, even though I didn't think it did, he took some of what I said to heart. And even though I left there upset with him and others were upset with him, he took us to heart and Adam Marchaletta, a great pro…a guy who made the most of his ability, guys like that had been trying to talk to Vontaze and said, 'This is how you've got to do it, man.' It just didn't sink in at the time, but credit him for making the change. He's a very, very good player."http://www.bengals.com/news/article-1/Bengals-Jaguars-Postgame-Quotes/e7e8bda2-0b29-49f4-892b-85f45da2c7b2

Understanding the transitory /proc filesystem
Due Processes
The mysterious /proc virtual filesystem is a rich mine of information about everything in your system.
In productivity computing, typical users have limited use for the /proc directory. However, when you want information about all aspects of your system, including hardware, the processes running, and what is happening in the kernel, /proc is a concentrated source of fast and current information.
When learning Linux, you probably heard that everything is represented in the operating system as a file. Most of the files are text or binary, but others are more specialized, such as directories, or the contents of the /dev directory, which represent hardware devices and partitions. The /proc directory and its contents are another specialized type of file, making up a virtual or pseudo-filesystem.

Praying Between the Lines: Prayer Practices of American Nones A public lecture by Elizabeth Drescher, Ph.D. 5:30 p.m., Tuesday, Sept. 16 Panasci Family Chapel When asked what practices they find "spiritually meaningful," only one traditional religious practice – prayer – is consistently mentioned by the religiously unaffiliated, including Nones who self-identify as agnostic, atheist, or humanist. What does it mean when Nones report that they "pray?"

See complete schedule of events... How to be a Christian Darwinist Paul Allen, Ph.D., Associate Professor of Theology, Concordia University 7 p.m., Thursday, Sept. 25 Panasci Family Chapel Darwin's theory of evolution has been characterized as 'universal acid' that dissolves much of what we knew about the world, including religion and human nature. This lecture builds on non-reductionist readings of evolutionary theory to show that Darwinism does not necessitate a materialist worldview and is, in fact, conducive to a Christian understanding of creation, to moral endeavour and to the idea that we are saved by God because it helps bring to light the person of Jesus Christ in a fresh way by giving us new insight into self-sacrifice and bodily resurrection Terrence Tilley, Ph.D., Avery Cardinal Dulles, S.J., Professor of Catholic Theology, Fordham University 7 p.m., Thursday, Oct. 16 Panasci Family Chapel Title and abstract forthcoming Bringing Peace to the Tangled Bank - Evolution, God, and Science in America Today Kenneth Miller, Ph.D., Professor of Biology, Brown University 7 p.m., Monday, Nov. 17 Panasci Family Chapel Scientifically, biological evolution is the key to understanding the extraordinary diversity, beauty, and unity of life. However, for many Americans, evolution is a doctrine at odds with faith and is to be resisted at all costs. In this lecture, Dr. Miller argues that this opposition is misguided, and even antithetical to the Christian tradition of seeing faith and reason as complementary ways of knowing. Ultimately, Miller contends, America's religion and science debate is driven by a deep antagonism between extremists on both sides of the issue. The solution is not to split the difference, but to come to a genuine understanding and appreciation of the true depth of scientific and religious thought on the issues at hand. When this is done, both sides may come to realize, as Charles Darwin did, that there is indeed beauty, wonder, and even grandeur in the evolutionary view of life. Schedule of Lectures by George V.

Malaysian Prime Minister Najib Razak says a new analysis of satellite data shows that the missing Malaysia Airlines plane plunged into the southern Indian Ocean.
This news comes after a major breakthrough in the unprecedented two-week struggle to find out what happened to Flight 370, which disappeared shortly after takeoff from Kuala Lumpur to Beijing with 239 passengers and crew aboard.
Certain media outlets are reporting that Malaysia Airlines send the following message to families of people aboard MH370:
"We deeply regret that we have to assume beyond any reasonable doubt that MH370 has been lost and that none of those on board have survived. As you will hear in the next hour, from Malaysia's Prime Minister, we must now accept all evidence suggests the plane went down in the Southern Indian Ocean."
Relatives of passengers on board Malaysia Airlines Flight 370 reportedly have been called to an emergency meeting with the airliner, hours after Australian and Chinese search planes spotted more objects in the southern Indian Ocean that could be possible debris from the missing jet.
The story is still developing.
