1. Miami Dolphins - Jake Long, Michigan. It’s already been announced, so not much else to say here. $30 million guaranteed.
2. St. Louis Rams - Vernon Gholston, LB/DE, Ohio State. Gholston’s versatility would provide much help to a unit that struggled last year. The freak-athlete is one of the risers in the draft
3. Atlanta [...]

However, with the draft on Saturday, band practice looming tomorrow evening, and a track meet during the draft (NOOOOOOOOOOO!), I cannot finish them.

So far, no one has any idea on who the Packers will take in this draft. Many people say cornerback. But does the name Ahmad Carroll ring a bell? So what will it be?
