Tomorrow begins the 2010 NFL Draft. Yeah it still doesn't seem right. The Draft has always been an arduous all day event taking place on a Saturday and usually ends up with a lot of people day drinking, talking about how great their team is going to be next year. Now it's being divided up into a Prime Time event beginning Thursday Night.
Oh well, I guess we'll all have to make due somehow. With that in mind, here are some things The Beard will be keeping an eye on:
- The first and most obvious thing is not IF, but WHEN and WHOM will be trading for scumbag Ben Roethlisberger? Fresh off the heels of Goodell's 6 - but really 4 game suspension, the report is that the Steelers are taking The Beards' advice and are actively trying to trade him. Good for the Steelers and good luck for anyone that ends up with Captain Dick-Out. Odds are they can get the best return for him if they trade him during the draft. So I'm expecting it happens at some point this week.
- Speaking of character issues, I'm very curious to see where Jimmy Clausen and Dez Bryant end up? My sources say Buffalo take Clausen at # 9, and New England taking Bryant at # 22. Either way, any team that takes them will be getting guys with not only questionable judgement, but also need work too, especially with Bryant's 4.54 40 time.
- I'll also be curious to see if the Raiders are still stuck in the dark ages of "The Raider Way" and pick Bruce Campbell. Campbell wowed everyone at the combine during drills, and his measurables are off the chart. So what's the problem? Well he doesn't have ONE stinking award in college, and he never even made ACC All Conference. That has "Looks like Tarzan, plays like Jane" written all over him. Then again Robert Gallery had a ton of awards, and that didn't exactly work either...
- And finally, I have a sneaking suspicion that someone will take Tim Tebow in the first round. I really don't want to think that, but I believe someone will be that stupid. Despite the report that one anonymous AFC GM said there is no way they would want Tebow in THEIR locker room, I just have a gut feeling he'll be selected in the first round. You heard it here first...
