I'm watching the picks tick by - and Brady Quinn sit around in the green room - and so far there hasn't been any action on the trade front.
I'm just not feeling Quinn like I did for previous players who have fallen on draft day. My recent favorite has to be Ben Roethlisberger, who made fun of Eli Manning and sat around eating free candy while he waited his turn.
The big subplot this year is "the character issue" with players being described in terms of work ethic and maturity - Calvin Johnson was pimped as Randy Moss talent with Jerry Rice personality - as a close second to actual ability.
Following the record suspensions doled out to Adam "Pac Man" Jones and nearly half the Bengals and Vikings -well, those are pending - it's no surprise that this is a big concern with this year's draft class.
On sports talk radio this morning, there was a lengthy discussion about whether the Raiders would want a new blue-chip receiver in the same stable as Moss and whether or not that could poison a draft pick.
Just something to consider after the Quinn ruckus yesterday.
