I'm lukewarm but definitely not disappointed in the whole thing. That's the beauty; we get to look back in three years and see how great (or poor) it was!

Hey! We now have the worst blocker and the best run blocker on the team! Law of averages! :)

It's fun seeing such differing perspectives of the draft/Trader Rick.

Holy smokes that "highlight" video for our German WR is hilarious.

1) They look like their playing in someone's backyard.
2) Notice the folks drinking Heinekens at cafe tables set up at the edge of the end zone.
3) Every play seems to be our guy catching a bubble screen and taking it to the house.

I suppose he'll beat out Patterson. Ach ja!

Think it's all this year. These picks are all worth peanuts at this point.
