Haha ... I suspected Miller might go with Sestak, I thought Turney would select Kenn first ...

Are you calling me a homer?

homer or not, you may have won the thing in terms of All-Pros, would have to check, but good, solid picks all the way through

I had the advantage of the first pick in each round.

It'll take more than increasing the number of seniors to win back my confidence after the centennial class. One saving grace might be the centennial finalists who didn't make it are a pretty strong group so if the voters focus on that group, it should turn out well. But it wouldn't surprise me at all to see players like Jimbo Covert get the spots, '70 and on like you said, and maybe not the most deserving '70 and on players. I'll expect the worst and hope for the best.

I think there was some criticism for saying Dilweg, Lewellen, Wistert, and Emerson make up a "big 4", but they were off the board after 8 picks. My logic may be off though because some of the big supporters of those 4 are among the 5 participating. Third round had some surprises for me.

Great draft so far! I'm enjoying it.

I will try to predict the "Fellas" choices for rounds 4 and 5 ...

Round 4

Miller -- Patton
Piascik -- Brito
Turney -- Kenn
Willis -- Cuff
Crippen --- Baughan

Round 5

Miller -- Gilchrist
Piascik -- Christensen
Turney --Cromwell
Willis -- Nesser
Crippen -- Sharpe

Thats why I am hoping you choose Patton or Brito to start Round 4 ... hopefully you guys choose Benton, who deserves recognition as well. Cookie shouldnt be punished because of Paul Brown. Everyone knows he should be in the HOF ...
