2008 Draft-Round 1

I've played this game long enough to not get surprised by much,
but the Cowboys taking Donnie Avery at 1-28 was a surprise. Draft chart first, then the trades. I missed some hts and weight for a few players.

[Mike3207]

2008 Season-Game 1-Colts 31, Bears 24


Will forgo the depth chart, I will let you know Bake is starting at RE and I picked up Kelin Johnson as backup safety.

The game-Briggs got things off to a good start with fumble recovery at start of game leading to TD, but the turnovers really hurt us-especially that last one returned by B. Sanders for TD.

OPOW-HB Brian Westbrook-23-69 rush yds-2 rush TDs.
10-111 rec yds-1 rec td

DPOW-MLB Patrick Willis-9 tackles, 2 iNTs.


Approval dropped to 37 after two unsuccessful Defining Moments.

DT Tommy Harris announced after the game he will not be re-signing with the Chicago Bears. It will make it more imperative to re-sign Briggs so we can franchise Harris.
