The deal is all but done, so now it is the Lions turn.

my favorite part of the article:

According to league rules, the Lions can begin negotiating a contract with candidates once the Bengals' deal is consummated.

Damn, the NFL takes their contracts seriously. Can they consummate it with Palmer's fiance?

Yep, I read an article over on espn.com about it.

You cannot help but root for the Bengals, I mean I hate to see teams just go to waste, it is bad for the league.

Lions are definetly on the clock now.

I wish the Cowboys would draft Kyle Boller, but it looks like those stinkin 49ers are gonna get him instead.

Shut!

I have a friend with contacts inside the Charles Rogers camp; apparently they are saying that the Lions are guaranteeing him they will take him with the second pick, and any talk of a trade has just been the Lions throwing up smoke.

Well the Bengals got their guy in David Klingler, now I just hope the Viking can get their guy and DeWayne Robertson will somehow be there when they pick.

I highly doubt that the Bears would pass on him, and even if they did, the Cowboys or the Cardinals will take him.

I doubt he'll be there too, but that doesn't stop me from hoping. And hell, the Texans may be looking to move down 4 spots.


I do hope Andre Johnson is gone though, because rumor this week is that if he's on the board while the Vikes pick they'll probably take him.

That's kind of suprising, but unless the Texans trade out of 3rd, they'll be taking him.

I predict that Johnson will be a big time bust because of his hands of stone. I don't think you can teach good hands, and he doesn't have them.
