presenting the 2004 edition of willie's destroyers

qb
trent green - it was my dream to see him available in the first round of the draft...happy to have him
aj feeley - as the last person to take a backup quarterback, i wound up guessing who might be starting...the week trent green's off, aj feeley's got new england. oh well.

rb
ahman green - one could argue he's the best player in the game, i think, especially because fumbles don't count
domanick davis - he rushed for 1,000 yards in 10 starts last year
michael bennett - i've convinced myself i like him a lot...my third keeper
antowain smith - i think i stole him from nemo...if nemo needs a back, i'll trade smith to him
artrose pinner - i don't actually know who he is, but he's a backup for a bad back

wr
eric moulds - i don't actually think he's any good, but i needed a receiver with my fifth pick
ashley lelie - maybe he'll have a breakout year sometime...now's his chance, i guess
roy williams - he could be really, really, really good...or just bad
quincy morgan - in retrospect, i should have taken ike hilliard with this pick, only because i should have taken the surer bet...the guys above him are pretty hit-or-miss, it would seem
bobby wade - i wanted rashuan woods of the san franciscos, but he was already gone...it should be noted that this was my 18th players selected (3 from last year, 15 tonight)

te
freddie jones - i probably took him too early, but i would've taken ike hilliard in the sixth round otherwise
chris cooley - i read somewhere that joe gibbs like to throw to tight ends and thinks this guy is really good...all but three tight ends suck, anyway

pk
john kasay - perhaps the third or fourth kicker selected
jason hanson - the best backup kicker in the league

defense
buffalo - should have taken seattle, because it is exciting to cheer for the west coast game
kansas city - pretty happy with them when i got them, way late


in summation, we draft way too many players.

rud line of the night: moderator: sailor boys take jay riemersma and olindo mare....rud: stamp that team's ticket to the playoffs

nemo line of the night: if you don't let me take former miami dolphin ricky williams in the 16th round of this stupid draft i'm taking my stupid ball and going home...by the way, my dad can beat up your dad...and, my dad knows detroit tigers star chet lemon

moment of the night: nemo selects damien anderson. then writes 'go u northwestern.' the writes the entire first part of the fight song. and then i chime in with 'U RAH RAH.'

is it dumb that i'm excited for the cats? i just hope pam ward is assigned to thursday's game.
