WGR draft update

Del Reid — Fri, 25 Apr 2008 03:16:09 +0000

So instead of taking Sedrick Ellis like all the mock drafts have the Bengals taking, I figured I’d shake it up and take Devin Thomas at #9, the 6’4″(?) WR out of Michigan St whom most mock draft authors predict the Bills taking at #11. I figured with Chris Henry getting cut, Ocho Cinco throwing temper fits, and the whole Tab Perry fiasco, the Bungles could use a new pair of hands.

The dude picking for the Bills ended up taking Mike Jenkins, a CB instead anyways.

The highlight though was when the guy picking for Baltimore selected a punter at #8 overall. This may not make sense to you but if I tell you he was wearing a Browns jersey it might, lol.

WGR mock draft

Hey all, long time no see.

Tomorrow night I’m participating in a mock draft at the Roadhouse Grill near the McKinley Mall (I think).

Participants got to choose what team they wanted to draft for and since my Bills were already claimed, I chose the Bengals. They’re a distant, distant second or third favorite team. My uncle lives in the ‘nati so I’ve got a little tie to them.

But most importantly I get a free dinner so score!

Should be fun. I love me some football and the draft is always a nice shot in the arm during the cold, cold offseason.

I don’t know if it’s on air (I imagine it would be) so give a listen around 6 tomorrow night if you want.

So that’s how it’s going to be, eh?

The Bills/Fins game is in Toronto.

Nothing is sacred.

5 years and counting until the move.

Laugh if you want, but my heart breaks over the idea of my kids growing up without the Bills in Buffalo.

Jekyll and Hyde

What a crazy game. The Sabres were listless for the first 2 periods against the worst team in their conference only to pour on 6 goals in the third period and win it 7-4.

They’ve scored 20 goals in their past 3 games and are now only 1 pt back for the 8th and final playoff spot and 2 pts back of the 7th.

I know their chances of getting past the 1st round are slim, assuming they make it, but I’m not ready to begin another playoff drought. Not after coming within one series of the Finals the past 2 years.

Here’s hoping they’re able to claw their way in over the next 8 games!
