Please try and keep up with the draft ..... it gets to be a drag if people start ot let the league down. I believe Tom is on the clock, followed by (well, lookie here) Tom, and (call it a psychic prediction) I think Tom will then be on the clock again after trading for the #3 pick. Just a hunch ...
