Possumboy; I'm not sure. My heart isn't in the Dorsey pick, nor is it with Johnson. I'd much prefer to see Chris Long and, say, Hardy or Brown but it's just personal perogative. I'd be far from thrilled with this first day, and I'd project it differently. However, good work with the rest of the draft. Particularly like the Chicago trade. San Diego is a good partner.

I'm not sold on the Carolina and the Houston choices, though.

By the by, how's that Vendetta against Jake Long coming along now that he's the number one pick? Do you think it's a good move?

Relative to the other players at the top of this draft, I don't think it's a bad move.
