Well, we hope for people to make their picks before the time expires.

Super_Mario sometimes sends out an e-mail and asks for a list of guys you want to draft when your turn is coming up. That way, if you don't make your pick on time, he'll pick from the list you send him. For example, if there are two guys drafting before you, you can send a list of 3 alternatives and that way you'll get at least 1 guy you want.

But if you don't make your pick on time, the entire group will make the pick for you.

But, please, please, make your pick on time or even early.

Ok, sounds good. I check TexansTalk like every minute so that won't be a problem.

Looking foward to an interesting mock draft...

J/K I guess. Man of all 32 teams I get stuck with the one without any direction. Really, Detroit has less problems then they do. Man I have some work to do.

Hey, at least you have picks. I got stuck with the Saints and they've just got 1 pick in the 1st round and nothing in the later rounds. If this is a 3 round mock, I only get that one pick.

LOL sorry, I havn't really been paying attention to this thread and I've been busy today. You can have the Panthers if you'd like.

I see Texan4Ever now has a team, nice!

Awwww. Thanks Ole Miss. You are a Gentleman and a Scholar.

Stafford, Smith, Curry. hmmmmmmm

Detroit needs to take a page out of the Miami offseason plans last year and get them a Chad Pennington.

Curry has to be the guy. He's a one of kind player.

Why wouldn't the Lions make a strong push toward Jeff Garcia? Hell, why aren't they throwing cash at Kurt Warner?

One of a kind player? That's a little much.

I think Garcia would be a good stop gap QB that would allow them to go LT or LB instead of QB which would not pay immediate dividends.

I agree on Curry. He is the best player in this draft. The QB's seem kinda blah, and thats alot of money for the best QB in an average at best class. OT is another position they should think long and hard about. Those guys never hurt.

Thats alot of money for any player they pick. Not just QB. Yall do understand that Curry is just as unknown as Stafford.

I think its also hard to bring in a OLB and make him the highest paid Linebacker in the league. That is normally reserved for pass rushing DE's, Tackles and QB's.

I really think that Monroe and Smith are the only players threatening Stafford of being the #1 pick. Curry is just about out of the running.

Doesn't that speak more to how ridiculous top 10 contracts are than how silly it is to make an OLB the high water mark?

Anway I can't pidgeonhole myself into only choosing certain positions because of money if I'm Detroit. They need help, like the best kind of help they can possibly get. Most likely, that's Curry.

Have you seen the gamefilm on this guy? He is a beast and makes plays all over the field. He also explodes into his tackles, which almost makes him of elite status. Pair that with his combine workout and you got yourself the best defensive player in the draft. His ceiling is a little higher also, so imagine what he will look like after a couple of years of experience.

I would say he is a one of a kind, especially in a draft full of first round talent at LB.
