The NFL Draft came and went this weekend and here's how my "Draft This Guy" prospects fared.
Joe Flacco -- Drafted in the first round by the Baltimore Ravens. No. 18 overall.
Dustin Keller -- Drafted in the first round by the New York Jets. No. 30 overall.
Jeremy Zuttah -- Drafted in the third round by Tampa Bay Buccaneers. No. 83 overall.
Chevis Jackson -- Drafted in the third round by the Atlanta Falcons. No. 68 overall.
Ryan Mundy -- Drafted in the sixth round by the Pittsburgh Steelers. No. 194 overall.
Marcus Monk -- Drafted in the seventh round by the Chicago Bears. No. 248 overall.
Micah Rucker -- Undrafted. Signed by the Steelers to a free agent contract as soon as the draft ended.
Also, keeping tabs on a player feature we did in the midst of last season, Xavier Omon was drafted on Sunday.
Xavier Omon -- Drafted in the sixth round by the Buffalo Bills. No. 179 overall.
Given a little more time, I would have crafted a piece about Jamaal Charles from Texas. The Kansas City Chiefs drafted Charles, 5'10 200 lbs. in the third round, No. 73 overall. While he'll play behind Larry Johnson, he's going to turn out to be a steal in the third round.
And Limas Sweed to the Pittsburgh Steelers in the second round is hilarious. Mike Tomlin had a great draft this weekend.

Congrats to the Seahawks for drafting my favorite player in this draft...Owen Schmitt.
Agreed Paul, Owens a monster! Too bad he plays a position that's basically "gone the way of the dinosaur" in the NFL! I guess that's appropriate for a player that's a "throw back"
Anonymous,
Coaches know...at least the Giants coaches. Not a coincidnce that they went hot and heavy after Madison Hedgecock, after he got waived by the Rams. A unsung hero in the Giants championship.
