PM Sent to Rain Man - hope he isn't out to sea...

Buffalo's GM's kinda friggen stoked about the draft board right now but has 2 guys at the clear top of it with 2 picks to go.

So he has two bottles of booze out right now, one of the champagne and one of them cheap whisky. C'mon Rainman, get in here so we can open one of these MFers up...

The Bengalis are working on our pick now. I wasn't out to sea, but I was at a funeral, so it wasn't really working well to scout through draft picks while they were doing the 21-gun salute and stuff.

If you're a follower of the late 60's and early 70's Bengals, you'll instantly recognize this large man as he climbs to the podium.

Yes, it's him! It's legendary Bengals Center Bob Johnson!

Bob was the first Cincinnati Bengal, drafted with the #2 overall pick in 1968. He played for 11 seasons with the Bengals, retired, and then came out of retirement for one last run in 1979 when the Bengals were felled by injuries. His 6th place finish in the Heisman Trophy voting in 1967 is a source of awe among modern centers and to this day his #54 is the only jersey that the Cincinnati Bengals have retired.

He steps to the podium.

"As a longtime center, I recognize the value of a good defensive lineman," Bob says. So with that...

The Cincinnati Bengals select Chase Winovich, DE, Michigan.

Cincinnati recognizes that this is their third straight year of drafting a defensive end in Round 3, but Carlos Dunlap is getting older and we like having good competition at this roster spot.

Bob Johnson snaps the ball to the Boston Patriots via a PM, letting them know that they're up.

Bob Johnson refuses to call them the New England Patriots. Newfangled nicknames are just fads.

With the 74th pick, acquired from Detroit, the New England Patriots select Max Scharping, OT, Northern Illinois.

Bill likes tough white-boy tackles that are stellar pass blockers. Scharping is one of the best pass blockers in this draft.

While disappointed to see Winovich go off the board, the Buffalo war room never really thought he'd make it past NE anyway. But their #2 pick stayed firmly in place as they take:

Michael Deiter - G, Wisconsin

SNR has a PM

The Green Bay Packers select Evan Worthington, S, Colorado

Can someone PM the next dude?

charges asked me to pick for him again.

The Carolina Panthers select Oshane Ximines, Edge, Old Dominion

Chicago Bears fans are on the edge of their seats as their first selection approaches.
