I'm no guru... I usually depend on the likes of Kiper, et al. But rumors (from the papers) has Holmgren trading up... who is up there that we want? I think, smoke grinding etc., that we need a solid CB, another great WR, and as always OL men! Watcha y'all think? --Pat

I am DEFINITELY no Mel Kiper either, but if we don't adress the tight end position in the first round with someone from Miami of Florida or Colorado, it BETTER be for a cornerback that no one will EVER throw at. Translation: If we can't break into the top 3, then we need a TE. Wow! How "Johnny Cochran" of me! --Moses

Truly inspirational! Unfortunately I'll miss most of the first round for the first time in years (yes, I'm one of the geeks who camps in front of the tube for it. One day I'll make it to Madison Sq.).. Let's hope Johnny C is on target! --Pat

WHAT??!?!?! What could be so important that you're missing the draft?!?!? (Careful who you're calling a geek!) --Becky

So Brock Huard is dealt for a draft pick. That gives the Seahawks a lot of picks. So, what is Holmgren going to do? Here is my take on it. Think about the 49ers of the 80's and 90's. The ones Holmgren learned everything from. How did they continue to be so successful? Simple. Draft quality over quanity. Trade away multiple picks to teams with a number of holes. In exchange, you get a higher pick and draft a bonified starter in a spot or two you may need. Remember when the 49ers traded picks to jump in front of the Seahawks to get Bryant Young? We settled for Sam Adams. Not bad, but who had the better IMMEDIATE impact? It seemed to me those pesky 49ers were ALWAYS pulling off those draft day deals to jump up in the order. Sure, they may have drafted LESS players, but they were QUALITY NFL MATERIAL. I am telling you. I think that tomorrow may get REAL INTERESTING REAL FAST. If Holmgren has learned anything from his San Francisco days, let's all hope he learned how to make the very MOST out of the next couple of days. --Moses

I am happy for Brock Huard. In Indianapolis, he has a real shot to be one of those "quality backups" you hear about. He is TOO GOOD to be a third stringer somewhere. Face it. We ALL watched Minnesota's third stringer on the last Monday night game of the year. If Sturgeon Wynn has a job in the NFL as a thrid string quareterback, then Brock DESERVES to be a quality #2 somewhere. In Indy, I think he will fit nicely behind Manning. Rypien (their current backup) is TOO old. With Huard, if something happens to Manning, the Colts have another gun slinger. Best wishes, Brock! --Moses

I'm with you, Moses! The longer Huard stayed in Seattle as 3rd string, the less his chances to make it in the NFL. Might as well trade him and see if he can flourish elsewhere in the league! Good luck to Brock Huard!!! And now we have yet another pick in the 5th round! That round practically belongs to us. (At least for now!) --Becky
