You Have Real Games, We Have Mock Drafts.
We on the Irish side of the partisan fence are obviously pretty jealous pretty much everyone else has a game, so we need to pass the time until things kick off Thursday night, or more specifically, September 6th at 3:30. Matt eloquently wrapped up our draft - with charts times four - and I just want to make a few comments. This whole exercise is probably futile, but it was a way to combine two things very prevalent in late August: a parched thirst for college football and fantasy drafts.
- It's probably a good sign for the Irish that you can almost fill out two starting line-ups with players who will see time this year. Considering they had to do offense vs. defense in the spring game this year due to lack of players, this is progress.
- I think Matt wins this if Jimmy Clausen has the year we all hope he can. That's something I can sign off on.
- His skill position players on offense have me trumped by a mile, but I tried to go big across the front lines. If Robert Hughes is the monster he was at the end of last season, David Grimes stays steady and Michael Floyd becomes the freakish big play threat we hope (a recurring word in Irish previews), then I think my offense could move the chains enough to keep our high-flying rivals off the field.
- No one drafted Asaph Schwapp.
- Matt has John Ryan and Terrail Lambert on the same defense. Just saying.
Tomorrow is football. Rejoice.

Everybody always hates on Lambert.There’s a reason the guy’s a 3-year starter.

…poor secondary depth, bad coaching decisions or fond memories of MSU ’06?
