RAFFLE 2008 Travershamockery, R4, V1

Back by popular demand, it's Round 4!
Unsure how closely this will track to the actual draft, but it was interesting in doing Rounds 2-3 how many WR's "they" believe will go in those rounds, and then doing our draft and noting how many of those WR's really seemed to fall to those spots. Also worth noting many of "those people" also said Rudi Johnson and Shawn Alexander were sure-fire first-round picks last year.

37-D Smith. Let's be completely honest. From this point forward, who the flip knows what this guy is going to do. Let's not forget, he could have picked as high as fourth, but he chose to pick at the back of these two rounds. I'm going to give Dave his second RB of the draft in MICHAEL TURNER.

38-BPRUWITME. Still reeling from the MEGATRON selection from Josh earlier in the day, BP thinks long and hard about Roy Williams, but instead continues to steady his 8 Bells team and selects DARREN MCFADDEN

39-Josh. I'm not sure any of you know how much I want to type in a certain QB's name who rhymes with Lon Spitka. However, I'll refrain from going Lion Crazy and instead make a sane selection for Josh, giving him EARNEST GRAHAM

40-Skot. He's got a solid team at this point, so I think Skot gets a little sassy and pulls the trigger on who he has repeatedly described during the football season as his favorite...let's say "RB", selecting FRED TAYLOR.

41-Helly. Following a short nap after his Manning/Wayne "Happy Release", he continues to stock up on RB's and adds EDGERRIN JAMES to his Channel 9 News Team.

42-Andy. He doesn't have a Seminole yet, so Hammer reaches out to ANQUAN BOLDIN, who (hopefully for him) will be traded to a big time team soon!

43-BB. This is another tough decision...or, as I love to quote from Anchorman, THIS IS HAARRRD!!! It's tough at this point to get away from my favorite 13th round draft pick in RAFFLE history, Ben Roeothleisaburger. But there are still some very intriguing WR's and RB's on the board. I'm going to roll the dice, wait on a QB until next round, and select LAVERNEUS COLES, assuming Farve is going to get this offense in full effect.

44-Timmy. I think Tim, noting my Roethlisberger decision, decides to attempt to stick it deep inside of me and take BIG STINKY BEN with this pick.

45-Nate Dogg. Plenty of rookie RB's still on the board...but I think Nate rolls the dice and takes ANGRY STEVE SMITH, hoping he doesn't get suspended for punching any more of his teammates.

46-Al-ly McBeal. I think Al thinks about a QB at this spot, but instead begins what could be a rookie RB run with JONATHAN STEWART.

47-Justin. Wyant goes WR with PLASTICO BURRESS.

48-Trevor. Needing a Lion of his own, Trevor ends the fourth round with ROY WILLIAMS.

For you personally or the mock draft blogging overall?
