No.
Team
Player
School
Pos.

1.
Raiders
JaMarcus Russell
LSU
QB

FanHouse: Could JaMarcus Russell could end up being the Sam Bowie to Calvin Johnson's Michael Jordan?

2.
Lions
Calvin Johnson
Georgia Tech
WR

FanHouse: Millen has made so many mistakes, so often, that it's hard to believe he could have done the smart thing here.

3.
Browns
Joe Thomas
Wisconsin
OL

FanHouse: We can't say for sure that Thomas won't be a bust. The only thing we can say with absolute certainty about Thomas is that he likes to fish.

4.
Buccaneers
Gaines Adams
Clemson
DE

FanHouse: Adams is one of the "Pot Smoking Three," the three top prospects who admitted in their combine interviews that they had used marijuana.

5.
Cardinals
Levi Brown
Penn State
OT

FanHouse: No one thought Brown would be chosen this high, but that doesn't mean he's a bad pick.

6.
Redskins
LaRon Landry
LSU
S

FanHouse: The Sugar Bowl was billed as the battle between Russell and Brady Quinn. But Landry might just have a better career than either of them.

7.
Vikings
Adrian Peterson
Oklahoma
RB

FanHouse: The Vikes think Tarvaris Jackson is better with a good running game than Brady Quinn would have been without a good running game.

8.
Falcons
(via Texans)
Jamaal Anderson
Arkansas
DE

FanHouse: When their star is accused of having a family involved in dog fighting, their pick, Jamaal Anderson, is a family man - but in a good way.

9.
Dolphins
Ted Ginn Jr.
Ohio State
WR

FanHouse: This isn't a surprise, it's a shock. Everyone thought that if Brady Quinn were still on the board, the Dolphins would take him.

10.
Texans
(via Falcons)
Amobi Okoye
Louisville
DT

FanHouse: The best thing about taking the 19-year-old Okoye? You know he won't be getting into trouble at strip clubs because isn't old enough to get in.

11.
49ers
Patrick Willis
Mississippi
LB

FanHouse: Patrick Willis is a good athlete, a powerful hitter and very quick at covering five to ten yards.

12.
Bills
Marshawn Lynch
California
RB

FanHouse: Everyone thought Lynch would play in Green Bay, but Marv Levy figured he needed a replacement for Willis McGahee.

13.
Rams
Adam Carriker
Nebraska
DE

FanHouse: He played QB in high school, and his dad says he can throw for 80 yards. Of course, they also went 0-9, so he was probably wise to switch.

14.
Jets
(via Panthers)
Darrelle Revis
Pittsburgh
CB

FanHouse: There was talk that the Steelers wanted to take the hometown guy Revis, and it's clear the Jets were thinking that when they traded up.

15.
Steelers
Lawrence Timmons
Florida State
LB

FanHouse: He was only a starter at Florida State for one season before he left early. He didn't run as well at the combine as he should have.

16.
Packers
Justin Harrell
Tennessee
DT

FanHouse: The pluses of Harrell are incredible strength and toughness. The minuses start with the fact that he can't rush the quarterback to save his life.

17.
Broncos
(via Jaguars)
Jarvis Moss
Florida
DE

FanHouse: It's not shocking Moss is a first rounder, but it is surprising Denver traded up. Moss is good, but he might have been available at the 21st pick.

18.
Bengals
Leon Hall
Michigan
CB

FanHouse: If you're a Cincinnati fan, you've got to be quite pleased that Hall was still on the board: He wasn't around this late in any mock drafts I saw.

19.
Titans
Michael Griffin
Texas
S

FanHouse: Griffin is a good athlete who is the best special teams player in the draft. He's a hitter, and he's versatile enough to play safety and cornerback.

20.
Giants
Aaron Ross
Texas
CB

FanHouse: The Giants are in serious need of a cornerback because they're so old in the secondary.

21.
Jaguars
(via Broncos)
Reggie Nelson
Florida
S

FanHouse: I think he's going to be a very good NFL player, and I love the fact that the Jaguars traded down and still got him.

22.
Browns
(via Cowboys)
Brady Quinn
Notre Dame
QB

FanHouse: If you're a Browns fan, you have to be happy that you got Thomas and Quinn. I don't know of too many mock drafts that had that scenario.

23.
Chiefs
Dwayne Bowe
LSU
WR

FanHouse: Bowe, according to one person whose opinion I respect, is a big part of the reason that Russell is perceived as a potentially great quarterback.

24.
Patriots (via
Seahawks)
Brandon Meriweather
Miami
S

FanHouse: This is higher than most thought Meriweather would go, but maybe Bill Belichick loves players who stomp on their opponents or something.

25.
Panthers
(via Jets)
Jon Beason
Miami
LB

FanHouse: Beason is a good player, but he lasted this long because he's on the small side and had a bad 40-yard dash time.

26.
Cowboys
(via Eagles)
Anthony Spencer
Purdue
DE

FanHouse: It's not hard to understand what Jones was thinking here, where he'll be a very nice fit for Wade Phillips' defense.

27.
Saints
Robert Meachem
Tennessee
WR

FanHouse: Meachem probably has the most complete package of size and speed in this draft of any receiver not named Calvin Johnson.

28.
49ers
(via Patriots)
Joe Staley
Central Michigan
OT

FanHouse: Staley doesn't seem to be ready to start right away. Is it really a good idea to trade your 2008 first-rounder for a developing player?

29.
Ravens
Ben Grubbs
Auburn
G

FanHouse: Grubbs is, by far, the best guard in this year's draft. The Ravens can count on Grubbs to start immediately.

30.
Chargers
Craig Davis
LSU
WR

FanHouse: Craig Davis was not perceived as a first-round pick, but he's a solid player who can contribute immediately on offense and special teams.

31.
Bears
Greg Olsen
Miami
TE

FanHouse: Olsen rocketed up after a blistering 40-yard dash time at the combine. I'm leary of high ratings based on something done in shorts.

32.
Colts
Anthony Gonzalez
Ohio State
WR

FanHouse: Bill Polian loves wide receivers, the team has already lost Brandon Stokley, and Gonzalez is a smart player with good character.

As a Royals fan I'm again being disappointed again this year. Again the Royals have one of the worst records so far this season. They have not been in the playoffs since they won the World Series in 1985. Looks like their gonna lose a 100 games again. Why ? Small media market ? Incompetent owners ? Bad luck ? What is the reason ?

It was really a charm to watch Australians Play yesterday.
When will that day come when we will be able to see such games played by our players?

Even though Michael Waltrip was faster qualifying than 24 cars that are IN the field for Talladega, because he is not in the top 35 in points, he didn't make the field. Fair or not?

When you really check it out, they did not,. that dynasty was really put together from home grown talent. Rivera, Jeter, williams, Petitte, Posada. Scott Brosius was taken off the scrap heap, they traded for roger clemens. gooden was another off the drug pile. Who did they buy ? what ring did they buy? 96,98,99,2k ?

They are giving equal starting oppurtunities to LaRue (.125 avg) and John Buck (.349 avg). Also when Buck dose play he bats 8th. Don't criticize Buck, hes dirty.

I am a male sophomore in high school. I have run both track and cross country since 7th grade, but i've never run the 3200.
My best 5k time is 18:34 and my best 1500 time is 5:14.

This season so far in track, i have only run the 400m and the 4x400. My coach (who is also my xc coach) told me he wants me to run the 3200m on monday because he knows i can do it, but i dont think i have the endurance built up yet because i have been training for the 400m.

Is there anything i can do tomarrow (the day before the race) to prepare for it?

Thanks for your time and help
