The NFL Draft is incoming.. what are your thoughts?

For a 4th String perspective going into Madden 12, I want the Cardinals to do whatever keeps Fitzgerald at the club. Larry doesnt want an unproven QB, but there's a lot of talk of drafting Blaine Gabbert. Personally I'd love to see them select Patrick Petersen. Having him on one side and DRC on the other would be nice. Lots of talk of Petersen being the best player in the draft - names such as Champ Bailey have been popping up in terms of comparison.

In real life, Im a Giants fan. They need some O-line help and I think they'll go for an offensive lineman in the first round. They also need to address the linebacker situation, which I hope they'll do in later rounds.. They need to address the possibility of Barry Cofield deciding to become a free agent so a DT could be in the works.

Im just in the mood now where I've seen way too many mock drafts, and that I want the event to take place.. now.. and talk to you guys about it. I'll be watching live on TV here - at 1am in the morning.. cant wait.
