 picks I'm good with:

OL, DB, WR, LB, Late Round.. FG kicker.

Most of this depends on 2 things.. STADIUM and FA

If they Don't get a stadium deal.. does any of it really matter?

That's something a lot of people miss.  We pick high in EVERY round.  We get the best of each round. 


Correct me if I am wrong but do we actually pick 3rd in each round or does it adjust per round with other teams that had the same record?

I seem to remember something like that happening the year we got AD.

If not sure how the draft mechanics works, though, so don't rely on what I say.

Forgot, Rams and Colts each only had two wins.  Never mind.

Roll Tide!

I knew BEFORE the game this would be one of the worst championship games in history

Paint drying comes to mind

OTOH, perhaps the Vikings should just draft the Alabama defense whole

 3 quarters and 6 FG attempts by one team?
That's a national championship game?
I could go for an Oklahoma State - Oregon shootout right about now.

What would you have to say say there was a playoffs, and these 2 teams beat down everybody else (like they did this year) and ended up in the championship game anyway?

We deserve to either have an entertaining game or there should be a real playoff to see who really is best.

THere are several teams that could have put up a better game than this crap.

If you want to argue for a playoff system instead of the BCS system, I'm with you, though.

If that happened, then so be it. I just have a real problem with a team playing for the national title without having even played in its own conference championship, let alone winning it.
