I posted this in the other thread, but what do you guys think about free agency being after the draft this year?  Do you think it will affect the way teams draft? 

Also I'm still at work over here in California.  I would like an update on badly Goodell gets booed.

but I don't understand why Roger Goodell is getting booed.  He wrote this Op-Ed for Wednesday's Wall Street Journal.  I thought it was brilliant:

Do fans instinctively side with the players, who they see as heroes with whom they can relate?  Is that it?  Is it "sticking it to the man," to boo the league commissioner?  Because I don't know how fans would respond to the the Goodell Op-Ed...

I hope we get some good O-Line people... BUT, apparently Lovie goes all defense all the time until the 4-5 round... We'll see, this year might be different (spoken as an obvious Cubs fan)

Its just nice to see the Lions not drafting in the top 10 and hopefully we get  guy who can make a POSITIVE impact for OUR team for many years to come.  I will take a WR even but it better be a damn good one

I heard some talk about trading down, anyone think that would be the best option when the Lions come up? Maybe someone like the Patriots look to move up by bundling some of their many picks.

I think New England might want to trade up with Detroit if Robert Quinn is still sitting there at 13. I'm all for a trade down...or even a trade up for Patrick Peterson.

I want Wade Phillips to not have his choice for D f'ed up by Kubiak and Rick Smith(GM). These two morons have absolutely no idea how to run a franchise. Smith is savvy though and had the owner, Bob McNair, godfather his children.

The teams who pass on Patterson are passing on the best player in the draft

Also, sportsbook has LIVE NFL DRAFT betting

Sounds fun, what could go wrong?
