We of course watched the NFL Draft on Thursday night and some of it on Friday night too. I was anxious to see who my Cards picked at the lucky number 7 spot. Brad was of course ready to see whom would become the newest Cowboy. The dorks that we are, we sat on our couch dressed in our fave team's shirts.
I was happy with the Cardinals number 7 selection. They addressed a need. It wasn't a draft class full of the more attention getting positions but yet it was a draft for certain necessary positions to build a good team. All in all I think the Cardinals draft was a good one, they made some great decisions. Not a single pick made me question what they were thinking. The CB and RB kind of fell in their laps...hopefully those will be two successful Cards for seasons to come.
Poor Brad was not as happy about the Cowboys. As soon as it was announced they had traded down in the first round Brad needed some time to digest that decision. We went to Blockbuster for a little bit. We got back right before they made their only first round pick. The pick addressed a need but the guy they chose was a projected 3rd or 4th round draft selection not a first rounder! Needless to say by the time Friday morning rolled around here in big D sportscasters were ripping the Cowboys big time. I must add that as the draft weekend progressed the Cowboys faired better with their picks but it was certainly a rough start. I'm not sure sports radio in our city is ready to look passed the first round selection to give them a decent grade for their draft.
Now the big wait begins! Waiting all the way til August for football! Good thing tennis tourneys and grand slams are right around the corner to help get us thru! ;)
