How is USC left tackle Winston Justice still on the board? And how often can I use the phrase "still on the board?"
I can't believe I've gone this long without saying "a need pick." I think Mel Kiper receives a check in the mail each time someone uses that phrase.
Three NC State defensive linemen have been selected in the first round. Which brings this comment from Sun beat writer Jeff Zrebiec: "Then why weren't they good?"
Zrebiec, an avid Giants fan, was sweating bullets while waiting for his team to make it's selection. He looked like Placido Polanco after hitting an inside-the-park home run. And you should have seen the look on his face when the Giants traded the pick to the Steelers. But it doesn't seem like such a bad move, now that we know they received Pittsburgh's first-, third-, and fourth-round selections.
When is the last time so few running backs and receivers were chosen in the first round?
