Today is a wonderful day, yes call me an NFL geek, but I love the NFL Draft!  I usually sit through the two day event parked on the couch watching TV, but I do have to work some this weekend so not sure how much I will get to watch.  Anyway, I am predicting two trades, but there could be one or two more as teams try to evacuate the top 10.  Here’s my mock draft for your enjoyment 🙂

1. Stafford, Matthew
2. Smith, Jason
3. Curry, Aaron
4. Monroe, Eugene
5. Orakpo, Brian
6. Smith, Andre
7. Maclin, Jeremy
8. Sanchez, Mark – Washington
9. Jackson, Tyson
10. Crabtree, M.
11. Oher, Michael
12. Brown, Everette
13. Raji, B.J. – Jacksonville
14. Jenkins, Malcolm
15. Jerry, Peria
16. Freeman, Josh – Tampa Bay
17. Ayers, Robert
18. English, Larry
19. Maualuga, Rey – San Diego
20. Hood, Evander
21. Moreno, K.
22. Britton, Eben
23. Matthews, Clay
24. Maybin, Aaron
25. Cushing, Brian
26. Heyward-Bey, D.
27. Harvin, Percy
28. Pettigrew, B.
29. Britt, Kenny
30. Nicks, Hakeem
31. Wells, Chris
32. Mack, Alex

As far as the Eagles go, I am hoping Knowshon Moreno lands at 21 for us, otherwise we may trade down again since there is no one that stands out at that point.  I think we need to come out of the draft with a RB, a safety, depth on the O-Line, and maybe TE.  Here’s my wish list: Round 1 – RB – Knowshon Moreno/LeSean McCoy, Round 2 – OLB – Clint Sinthim/Marcus Freeman, Round 3 – S – Patrick Chung, Round 5 – OT – Ramon Foster, Round 5 – Trade for 2010 4th Round, Round 5 – TE – Anthony Hill, Round 5 – OLB – Zack Follett, Round 6 – CB/S – Brandon Underwood, Round 7 – QB – Mike Reilly

Time for me to do some housework so I can justify sitting in front of the TV all night long 🙂  Have a good day all!

Today is a beautiful day.  Not only are we able to see the first live football in 6 months, but Matthew made his daddy proud tonight 🙂  The football in itself is enough to celebrate over.  It would be much better if it was another team other than Washington but it’s good enough.

So I am downstairs doing laundry and just put a load in so I sit down to follow up on a few things, start FireFox to view a few websites and ESPN.com pops up, my home page.  On the cover was a picture of Brett Favre.  No uniform or anything, just a head sho0t probably from one of his pressers this year.  Well Matthew caught a glimpse and looks at me and tells me “Brett Favre is back in football.”  I looked over in amazement because I had not told Michelle anything about Favre in a few days.  I can’t tell you how proud I was in that moment 🙂  He then proceeds to ask “Is he in Washington?”  Now bear in mind Washington was one of the teams rumored to be in the mix for Favre’s services but it hasn’t been discussed in awhile.  And no don’t get any ideas about Washington playing tonight and that’s where he got it from, No.  We hadn’t even discussed football being on tonight yet.  So not only did he catch Favre was coming back but knew a potential home for him.  Such love and pride came out of me at that time 🙂

Anyway just had to share the story.  As it’s been said many a time before…”That’s my boy!”
