It's feelin' Drafty in here

Now that the Super Bowl has come and gone, the majority of the college recruiting landscape is mapped out, and the Grey Cup has been handed out (right?), the draft stands alone as a shining beacon of hope for football freaks everywhere (apologies to the Pro Bowl. Actually, screw that - the Pro Bowl sucks). 

Don't go thinking you have to pretend to like baseball for the next few months, young grasshopper, for TheDailyBOMB-san will be providing for you multiple outlets to get your gridiron fix.

We're whittling away at the first official TDB Draft Guide for 2009, which we'll post soon:

However, more importanty, coming up very soon we'll debut a feature exclusive to our humble blog (exclusive means that you'll only find it at our tiny corner of the Interweb): Team Fixes. What's this 'Team Fixes', you ask? We'll provide a post for every franchise breaking down the moves that we would make if its fanbase was only lucky enough to have us as GM. 

Bash our posts - we welcome your criticism, grasshoppers.

    Sweet website, I'm telling all my draftnik friends. What about a blogger bio? Who are you? Some ex-coach or GM? Are you Carl Peterson? Are you Mike Shanahan? Shan, are you in there? I doub't you're Jon Gruden. He's grinding crayons to nubs on his bedroom walls right now. Or are you some yayhoo who decided to do a draft blog? Mike Maycock! You sound just like Mike friggin May-cock! What a gem of a blog.

    Maycock:

    It's obvious what the Lions have to do. They have trade out of the top slot. You touched on the main point- you're going to pay in the neighborhood of $30 million to a college kid, and there's just not one in this draft worth giving it to.
    It would be great if they could trade their second first rounder and a third for Cassell, but they'd still be stuck with the first overall pick. In this years' draft, that's a golden anchor.
    Someone will fall in love with a workout warrior or one of the talented left tackles in this draft and might want to trade for the first overall. You can also never discount a team falling for Stafford or Sanchez. In my opinion, neither makes the cut for a first overall, but lots of GM's can't swallow their emotions as draft day nears.
    The Lions have to hope that there's a sucker out there for the first pick, and also that Bellichick would move Cassell for a mid first and a third.
    Adding Cassell and getting good value at no. 20- Aaron Maybin, Orakpo, or a left tackle that might drop, would be a heck of a first day for the Lions.
