Goddammit, you two. That's all I've got. No "Great picks", no "Whoa--you beat me to it". Just goddammit.
So much road and so few places, so much friendliness and so little intimacy, so much flavour and so little taste.

Friendship is better than fighting, but fighting is more useful.

So with only one pick you go through many thoughts about who you should pick and why.

On one hand I was going to write about having a new baby, being sleep deprived, and then finding out you've been drafted by Seattle and have to pick yourself. But i am not as eloquent nor have the recondite flavor like Karhu does to do that justice.

On another hand I thought about emergency depth at a spot where I was thin, but that's not sexy.

On yet another hand I thought about the guy I would've taken in the 2nd, but hasn't had much of a chance to play this preseason. That seems like the best value at this point so...

Eskimo Brothers select Chad Williams, WR, Arizona Cardinals.

Actually, I don't think you're going to have to wait that long to see him get in there. Nice pick for the 4th round.

Aso, sent you a PM btw...
