    Sanu said the prank came from a NJ area code, so it's likely a prank. Wouldn't put it past the Bungles though.

    T.Y. Hilton goes to the Colts. He may be small at just 5'9", but Colts just got a hell of a receiver. Sort of wishing maybe he'd drop down into the late rounds and the Broncos would take a chance. Just wishful hoping on my part though.

    Yeah, I saw that after I made my post. Awfully strange coincidence.

    That's what scares the hell out of me. The prank was claiming the Bengals were taking him, and then the Bengals actually do end up drafting him two rounds later. Either that was one hell of a coincidence or maybe the Bengals started looking at him closer than they had been before after that prank and the story about it came out.

    I'm sure that was a long phone call though when the Bengals actually did call to say they were drafting him. He was probably asking a ton of questions trying to figure out if it was actually true this time or another prank.

    if you're into books, i'd highly recommend "Lone Survivor." its about a former Navy SEAL who was the only surviving member of his 4 man squad. i'll warn you that is presented in a heavy Republican based opinion, but its an awesome read nonetheless. goes into great length about how hard hell week actually is and then into an amazing fight for survival.

    Yeah, it's been on my list for a while. When it comes to military books though, I generally do better with fiction because I can separate them from reality. Non-fiction is tougher because you know they really lived it. Like the Pat Tillman book ... horribly difficult to get through it (I still haven't been able to pick it up again).

    Which is the opposite of myself. The military books I enjoy are either memoirs or diaries from soldiers fighting at The Eastern Front in World War II. I want to know what it was like.

    Back on topic, I can't complain with the Steelers 3rd round selection. They will move Sean Spence inside and he should have the opportunity to compete for a starting job as soon as 2013. He was on the short list of players they may take there, so no complaints.

    Well, that's actually a good point. I've never had a problem reading World War II era books, whether fiction or non. It's only the modern wars that get to me. Not sure why that is.

    On your first comment, I've never really read any modern military books. The topic just doesn't interest me. Not sure if I'd feel the same as you or not.

    On your second comment, here is a bag of dicks for you. Enjoy!

    Ironically, I only made the second comment to try to keep us on the topic of the draft. Lol.

    Going back to Mors's discussion about Griffin and the Air Raid offense, there is one thing I've only recently learned that's important to note:
    The three biggest plays in the offensive scheme are what is known as the Shallow Cross, the Receiver Screen, and the Mesh series. The Shallow Cross was originally invented by Mike Shanahan, a coach who learned the west coast offense from George Seifert while with the San Francisco 49ers.

    Either they think Cousins will be no better than a career backup and hope to have him be exactly that, or something was just discovered about RG3 since Thursday night and they're trying to cover their asses.

    How hilarious would it be if he beat out RGIII for the position!

    Backup to RGIII instead of the other RGIII (Rex Grossman). It's not the best decision, IMO, but that would be the reason. Grossman has a single year contract, so you keep Cousins as a third QB this year and he's the backup next year. Major clubhouse leader, so Cousins will be a good influence on the team over time.

    The Patriots just took Ohio State safety Nate Ebner.

    NFL.com does not know Ebner's height or weight, nor has a picture or grade of him. Prior to, oh, about 2 minutes ago, NFL.com didn't even list him as a possible Ohio State pick.

    Why did he get picked? I don't know. But if I had to guess, his international rugby career might have something to do with it.

    The only one of those that's a surprise to me is #3. "He's too small".

    He's signed as a UDFA with Detroit.
