2 new guys, 3 definates (brown, pink, gaff)...leaves a bunch of guys competing for one possible spot.

I absolutely LOVE this draft.

Great weekend

Give me a QB and RB and I will kill a bottle of Vodka.

I'm already half there.

Yeah if they can get those two postions or even a safety I would be ecstatic for their day 2. I am hoping for Humes, Bell, or Riggs next I think there are still going to be some QBs there in round 6.

Those are my 3 RBs as well.

But we don't need a safety. We've got 4.

Them not taking a safety tells me that Lewis and Dawk are coming back.

Can Bloom beat out Mahe? Do they have enough RB's on the team to oust Mahe? Time will tell.

shtein, we already drafted three guys who some mocked in the first, two of whom were mocked in the top 10. And to do so, we only gave up a fourth, Hollis and Artis. Christ, this has been amazing.

HAHA. they got bloom.

Eaglez · April 30, 2006, 02:55:13 PM

Bloom = Tim Dwight.

At least that's what I'm hoping. I'm excited about this pick because you know he's elusive from his freestyle skiing days, he has a hard work ethic being an olympian, and he seems like a pretty smart kid.

As soon as the Eagles drafted him I thought he was going to be our KR. I like the prospect of having him return Punts and being back there with Perry on kicks.

i absolutely love this pick...hopefully he's the return man & that's 1 less area to worry about.

QuoteJeremy Bloom is Sports' Hottest Man
Skier/footballer answers questions about gay fans, players
By Cyd Zeigler jr.
Outsports.com

In the championship round of the "King of the Hardwood" contest on our Discussion Board, skier and football player Jeremy Bloom knocked out soccer player Michael Owen, 56% to 44%, to continue his reign as sports' hottest man. Bloom won the contest last year as well.

Bloom made a splash in the 2002 Winter Olympics in Utah with his boyish good looks and performance in the moguls, and was soon gracing ads for Joe Boxer and Tommy Hilfiger, among others.

After a stellar freshman year playing for the University of Colorado football team, in which he set the school record for longest touchdown catch (94 yards), Bloom was banned from playing again by the NCAA for accepting sponsorships for his skiing.

Bloom took some time while in British Columbia, shooting a new Warren Miller film, to answer some questions about gay fans, gay players, and where he sees himself fitting in in the NFL.

OUTSPORTS: How do you feel about being regarded by gay men as the best-looking man in sports?

JEREMY BLOOM: To be honest, I don't really feel honored that much. Not because it's "gay men" but because I think outside beauty is a shallow thing. It would be an honor to me if I was regarded by people as a man with great character and determination.

OS: Have your teammates in football, or other skiers, ever given you a hard time for being "the model"?

JB: Of course, and it's all in good fun. I'm the first one to make fun of myself, I don't mind that at all. I want to spend my limited time on this world living life to it's fullest and have the most fun I can.

OS: Does it matter to you whether a fan is straight, gay or otherwise?

JB: Not at all. A person's sexual preference has no bearing on their character.

OS: Have you ever had a friend come out to you?

JB: No, I haven't.

OS: Would you feel uncomfortable with a gay teammate in the locker room?

JB: That's a tough question. It would definitely be a little awkward. But I could get over it.

OS: If you were an NFL franchise, what round would you draft you in and why?

JB: I would draft me in the fourth or fifth round. I have potential, but I'm not a sure bet like some of the incredibly talented college prospects.

With his back-to-back King of the Hardwood titles, many of our readers would obviously draft Jeremy with the No. 1 pick.

Jeremy can be found on the cover of the latest issue of Outside magazine.

Posters of Jeremy - with and without a shirt - are available at his Web site.

I'm sure Garthia loves this pick.

Well, he won't be wearing #15 here. Pick a new number, kid.

Feva · May 01, 2006, 01:10:13 AM

He can wear it in the preseason at least...

PhillyPhreak54 · May 01, 2006, 01:21:38 AM

Nah, its retired by the team (Steve Van Buren)

Plus WRs are allowed to wear 11-19 now.
