Ah ok. Cool. Thanks dude.

Oh and remember to change the #38 pick from Beatty to Levitre.

Guys, I will be out until mid-afternoon tomorrow. I'll do a quick update before I leave for work which is only 7 hrs from now. When I get home I'll update again and fill in any picks that people have PM'd. So if you're waiting tomorrow you might as well PM the pick to me in case the guy you're waiting on has done just that.

We'll knock this out one way or another!

BTW...ESPN is reporting Stafford has signed.

The Minnesota Vikings would like to thanks DFF for putting together this fantastic draft. With the 54th pick in the 2009 NFL Draft, the Vikings select WR Mohamed Massaquoi from Georgia.

Atlanta Falcons select DB from Oregan Jairus Byrd.

I think that clearly shows that I know what I am talking about when it comes to the NFL and am pretty much a draft expert.

The Dolphins are in need of some help on the d-line, especially at nose tackle. Jason Ferguson's contract will expire at the end of the season.

The Miami Dolphins are pleased to select Ron Brace, NT, Boston College.

Analysis Positives: Square-framed, naturally large man. Surprising initial quickness off the snap to disrupt the play before it has a chance to begin. Good lateral quickness to slide down the line. Good use of hands to slap away the blockers' attempts to control him. Good overall strength, especially in his lower body, to hold up at the point. Can anchor against the double-team and flashes the ability to split. Able to close if given a free lane. Recognizes the action quickly and can slide off the block onto the runner as he goes by. Versatile defender capable of projecting as a zero-, one- or three-technique at the next level.

Negatives: Only "phone booth" quickness. Requires a free lane to close on the quarterback and isn't going to provide significant interior pass rush. Marginal effort and ability in pursuit. Flanked by a better prospect in Raji and often faces only one blocker. Struggled with a recurring back injury in 2008. Concern over back injury only heightened considering his heavy build and potential to allow his weight to get out of control.

Compares To: MAAKE KEMOEATU-Carolina -- Like Kemoeatu, Brace has surprising athleticism for a big man, but lacks the foot speed to make plays in long pursuit. Playing in a phone booth, he does a good job of clogging the rush lanes. While he can play in a classic 4-3 alignment, he is much more effective handling action in the middle of the field. With so many teams utilizing the 3-4 defensive alignment in 2009, he is more enticing as a nose guard.

Injury Report 2007: Left the Florida State game twice (11/03) with back spasms.

2008: Bothered by back problems that limited him in August camp...Was helped off the field vs. Georgia Tech (9/15) due to back problems...Injured his toe, missing the bulk of the second half vs. Maryland (11/29).

Thanks Dis for setting this up.

Tyson Jackson was taken #3 in the real NFL draft today. He was taken at #28 in our mock draft. I was thinking of him at #27 but thought the Colts needed a DT.

I have to say that it is disappointing when we can't even make it through 2 rounds in what 13 days or so. DFF takes the time to set it up and then guys can't even come through.

13 days 64 picks, thats almost 5 picks a day. We got upto 56, which is not bad at all considering everyone does have an outside life. We had few lapses in between if it wasn't for those we could've finished.

Next year we should start 3 weeks in advance.

As for my picks

Down #5 - Brown - I took Orakpo but he went 13th to the Skins, Could be due to the fact Brown traded down or I just had him higher than others.

Exact#24 - Falcons - Peria Jerry, I was able to nail this one.

Up#36 - Browns - I did go after receivers and so did the Browns in real, I took Percy at #36 but he went much higher at #22 to Minnesota.

Down#50 - Browns - I took Cook but theres only one TE selected in the first 2 rounds so Cook goes somewhere in the third.

Up#55 - Falcons - I took Byrd here but he went 42nd to the Bills, Falcons did however draft secondary help at this position, so that alright.

Thank you all participating and keeping it going, and thanks Displaced Flames Fan for setting it up, maybe one day you will get placed at your correct spot.

[Displaced Flames fan]

Yeah, we definitely needed to start earlier. I'm fine with how it ended up. Was a pretty spontaneous exercise with very little planning!

As for my correct spot, if the economy keeps tanking I may not have anywhere else to go but there!
