Round 1 – AJ Hawk – Mighty fine pick, especially since the Texans and Titans fouled up their higher picks.
Round 2 – Greg Jennings, Daryn Colledge – As things stand now, I would rather have not traded down and taken Chad Jackson. Of course, if they get a diamond in the rough with that extra 6th-round pick, I reserve the right to change my mind.. I would’ve liked Jackson instead of Jennings straight-up, but it was a 3rd-rounder instead of a 6th-rounder they got, and I like Spitz. I guess they’re looking at moving either Clifton or Tauscher inside, because Colledge would be a far better fit at tackle than guard (he’s simply too undersized to play inside).
Round 3 – Abdul Hodge, Jason Spitz – The linebacking corp is set for 2006 and beyond with Hodge, Hawk and Barnett. Spitz looks to be a nasty guard.
My overall take – I actually like this draft so far. Thompson’s been so busy with the trades, nobody kept it straight yesterday.

Revisions/extensions (12:34 pm 4/30) – The Headless Blogger points out I fouled up the trades. I should’ve known better than to trust the initial NFL.com reports without re-checking. D’OH!
