John Clayton's Draft Assessment
Found this over on ESPiN in an excerpt of an article by John Clayton

http://sports.espn.go.com/nfl/draft0...ohn&id=2044649


Describing one of the drafts big losers...

• Denver Broncos: Organizationally, the Broncos, like the Cowboys last year, profited by making a bold trade. No one can question the move to get a No. 1 and No. 4 in 2006 from the Redskins along with a third-round choice by giving up their No. 1 pick. But taking three cornerbacks is a little shaky and does nothing to help their other units. The Broncos were obviously looking to the future by taking cornerbacks Darrent Williams, Karl Paymah and Domonique Foxworth. At best, only one will break into the nickel spot this year. Their special teams might be better, but the Broncos didn't do enough for this year. Then they made matters worse by ending the first day of the draft by selecting former Ohio State running back Maurice Clarett. At this juncture, Clarett seems more like a practice squad player than a back ready to step in and make an impact. The Cowboys sacrificed some of the 2004 season by looking ahead to 2005. The Broncos plan to go to the Super Bowl every year. While this draft may be great for 2006, what about 2005?

I would have to agree at this point. I guess we will find out soon enough.

Misanthrope could go either way
It cracks me up how many ESPN the Mag cancelling Buckeye fans live on ESPN's piece of [censored] website.

I read one issue of the magazine, thought it sucked and never read it again, and their website is a jumbled mess. I never liked it either.

Plenty of other/better sports options out there, folks...
