Wasn't there a rumor about a knee injury/issue? I'm feeling like DP posted a tweet, but I may be mistaking the player.

Miles Killbrew is gone :(


My TOP Target for today is Scobby Wright. That guy is a first round talent. We need him.

Another DT goes before Billings. Crazy. I would take him in a heartbeat. I gotta imagine he's high on our board unless we crossed him off for some reason but it was rumored that we were really interested in him.

Scooby Wright and Jatavis Brown are still out there. They are very intriguing as well. The good thing is, there is tons of depth in this draft at the positions we need

OH I AM HEATED! I missed the pick because ESPN cut to local commercials. I cannot even see the selection screen.
