THOUGHTS SO FAR:
* Cleveland filled holes at QB, OT and CB, but paid a dear price in terms of draft picks. Phil Savage has earned the benefit of the doubt. This will be his defining moment in Cleveland.

* Miami really PO'd their fans by reaching for Ted Ginn and John Beck. Tough start for Cam Cameron.

* These guys were great values: Robert Meachem (WR, New Orleans), Greg Olsen (TE, Chicago), Alan Branch (DT, Arizona), Paul Posluszny (OLB, Buffalo -- see, we will give Marv Levy some love when he deserves it!), Zach Miller (TE, Oakland -- and this was on a trade-DOWN! -- wait, we just put over Marv Levy and Al Davis on back-to-back notations here!), Justin Blalock (OT, Atlanta), Chris Houston (CB, Atlanta), Dwayne Jarrett (WR, Carolina), Steve Smith (WR, New York Giants), Tank Tyler (DT, Kansas City), Quinn Pitcock (DT, Indianapolis), Daymeion Hughes (CB, Indianapolis), Ryan Kalil (C, Carolina)

* These guys were big reaches: Ginn, Beck, Justin Harrell (DT, Green Bay), Kevin Klingler, errrrr Kolb (QB, Houston), Drew Stanton (QB, Michigan State)

* These picks will really help their teams even if there were some odd circumstances: Levi Brown (OT, Arizona -- appropriate pick given their needs, but a trade-down was necessary here), Anthony Gonzalez (WR, Indianapolis -- keeps this offense atop the league, but defensive needs could have been filled here), Tony Ugoh (G/T, Indianapolis -- similar to Gonzalez, will be a very good player, but defense could have been addressed), Jarvis Moss (DE, Denver -- great fit for the Broncos with much-needed speed rush help on the D line, but was a trade-up really necessary?), Darrelle Revis (CB, New York Jets -- best cornerback in the draft, but shouldn't Brady Quinn have been the focus given the Jets' issues?), Michael Griffin (S, Tennessee -- fine player, but how do you pass on the explosive Robert Meachem?)

And the "Oh, Crap, We Had No Backup Plan Award for the 2007 First Round" goes to: Green Bay. Thanks for returning, Brett Favre, hope you weren't planning on going to the playoffs in your latest "last year!"

Paul Teeple just melted down ...

on the New York Giants during our live broadcast on STC. He wasn't a big fan of Aaron Ross at 20.

Reggie Nelson goes 21 to Jacksonville, setting the stage for the Cleveland-Dallas trade at 22. Brady Quinn is a Brown, albeit 19 spots lower than anyone anticipated.

This should make any queasy Browns fans feel at least a bit better.

Reach for Green Bay!

Justin Harrell? Clearly the Pack had no Plan B when Lynch got taken.

Denver then trades up with Jacksonville to get Jarvis Moss, who might well have dropped to them anyway. Leon Hall goes to Cincy in a move that makes sense, then Tennessee makes a head-scratcher in passing on local boy and big need Robert Meachem to take Michael Griffin.

Dolphins fans are PO'd.


But it's not much better being a Packer fan at the moment.

The Saint Lou defense will improve ...

with Adam Carriker going to them at 13. Then at 14, New York brings "teh funny" by punking the Jet fans when they traded up with Carolina to take Brady Qui ... uh, no. They took DB Darrelle Revis, a great corner prospect, but not the man the mutant NY fans in the gallery on TV wanted.

OLB Lawrence Timmons then went to Pittsburgh at 15; not much of a surprise.

Somebody REALLY hates the Ted Ginn selection by Miami.

Keyshawn just backstabbed his QBs by advocating Quinn? Shocking!

Suh-prise, suh-prise!

Atlanta starts "Jamaal Anderson Era #2" with the 8th pick, then Miami shocks Brady Quinn, his escort and the rest of the civilized world by taking Ted Ginn, Jr. at 9. Amobi Okoye slips to 10 with Houston, awesome ILB Patrick Willis goes to San Francisco at 11 and Marshawn Lynch breaks the hearts of Packer fans everywhere by being selected by Buffalo at 12.

At least this guy's not bitter.

Joe Thomas' "aunt" is freaking scary.

Brady Quinn has now been moved to the back of the Green Room in NYC. Is he going to find his lost dignity back there?

Joe Thomas to the Browns at #3,

... Gaines Adams to Tampa at #4 since they couldn't get Calvin Johnson and Arizona selects offensive tackle Levi Brown (REACH!). They did need O line help, though.

We at FDH are admittedly skeptical of Thomas' value at #3, but he was clearly the best offensive lineman in the draft. As lifelong Browns fans, however, we hope we are wrong, and we do trust Phil Savage given his track record. We agree with Nick Bakay that staying away from a rookie QB is good for Romeo Crennel, and Thomas is a better fit than either of the gambles at QB.

Deadspin is amused by Matt Millen. Surprise.

Now Washington takes the best defensive player in the draft in Laron Landry and Minnesota passes on Brady Quinn to take Adrian Peterson.

Our mock drafts are in flames!

Russell goes first ...

and the Lions take Calvin Johnson second. 4 WRs in 5 years in the first round. Matt Millen's got some nard -- nobody can deny.

NFL Draft Day Liveblogging Begins!!!

Let's start this off on a fun note, courtesy of Kissing Suzy Kolber.


"When I call your name, make a bee-line for the stage, mister. Use the steps on the stage-right (west side). Use the wrong steps and I will suspend your ass on the spot. Do not extend greetings to your teammates, homeboys, girlfriends or college coach. This is the NFL, you want to do your "shout-outs" go on 106 & Park, numbnuts."

Good stuff!

We are currently on the air on SportsTalkCleveland.com with our all-day draft coverage from Shula's 2 in Independence, Ohio (the greater Cleveland area). Come on out if you're in the area, or listen to us online. Fantasy Drafthelp is very proud to be a big part of this great event.

JaMarcus Russell to the Raiders at #1, according to ESPN. Cleveland to take Joe Thomas at #3, according to the same article. Not the preferred FDH move, but we shall see.

Back on the blog and better than ever!

Our technical issues with Blogger have been resolved, or at least to the degree that we can utilize a work-around, and not a moment too soon! We have much to tell you about today.

First and foremost, our new look on The Mothership. We have waited so long to have this established, and we so thrilled with the new functionality we can offer our readers. We welcome your thoughts as always.

Next, the NFL Draft. Check out our draft guide here, and if you live in the Cleveland area, don't miss our live NFL Draft broadcast this Saturday from 10 AM EDT to 5 PM EDT on SportsTalkCleveland.com from Shula's 2 in the local suburb of Independence. A who's who of the STC and FDH families will be on hand to break down the proceedings.

Next, congratulations to our Senior Editor Jason Jones, winner of the first annual FantasyDrafthelp.com Fantasy Sports Grand Championship. He captured the most titles stemming from expert mock drafts on STC in 2006. He will be presented with the 7-foot trophy which accompanies such honors this Saturday at the aforementioned draft party.

Now on to tonight's edition of THE FANTASYDRAFTHELP.COM INSIDER on STC (9-11 PM EDT):

9 PM EDT: We will break down the features of the new and improved FDH website.

9:15 PM EDT: Fantasy baseball buy low, sell high players as we head into May.

9:50 PM EDT: The INSIDER version of an NFL mock draft: we'll have Jason Jones and Rick Morris making alternating picks going all the way through the first round as we illustrate who should go where.

Check this space again before the NFL Draft: although we have mock drafts for Jason and Rick in our NFL Draft E-Book, we will also be posting updated mock drafts from both right before the draft. Will we beat Mel Kiper again in terms of accuracy? The only question is by how much.

Fantasy baseball, NFL Draft and much more tonight

Tonight, on THE FANTASYDRAFTHELP.COM INSIDER on SportsTalkCleveland.com (9-11 PM EDT), we cover many aspects of the sports landscape as always:

9 PM: We take a last look at our Stanley Cup Playoffs pool draft board.

9:15 PM: FDH baseball analyst Tim Foust joins us to review the hot and cold starts to the season by many players.

9:40 PM: We bring you the top 10 by position in the 2007 NFL Draft according to FDH NFL Draft analyst Jason Jones.

10:15 PM: What do teams in the NFL Draft need most? We break it down team-by-team as a means to predict what we may see in the first round.
