ALBANY'S EXCITED BY THE 2009 DRAFT

As the Patroons embark on the 2009 campaign, we are excited and look forward to dominating the Central. I would like to congratulate Sew-Weakly for winning the 2008 cup and I look forward to the rivalry this year. Just to clear the air with Wags. You had to be there to believe it. Wags turn into Bill Belichick when he was with the Browns and couldn't draft K. Brady. You could have fried a egg on his forehead. Truth of the matter is, Wags Knowshon would have been a Patroon at the fifth pick for sure.

This had to be one of the weakest drafts that I can remember. With that said, the draft strategy for the Patroons was centered around this philosophy. With the suspension of Lynch for 3 games this led us to draft P. Thomas first, who we feel with the departure of DM, will light it up in the #1 offense in the NFL. With no picks in the 2nd round, and 2 picks in the 3rd, The Patroons took Mendenhall and Hightower. The Hightower pick was laughed at by Choker O but really, how many true number one RB were on the Market. Our sources are predicting a big yearout of Hightower. Also are sources informed me that Parker will not be back next year. Mendenhall will be insurence for 2010 if I choose to keep him. With our 4th and 5th pick Albany picked H. Ward and L. Moore to sure up the WR position. Ward is a solid number 2 WR and Lance has the potential to be a star. With our 6th pick we chose Carlson a TE from Seatle who we expect to have a big year now that his QB is back. With my later round picks I grabbed Farve, a kicker S. Gostkow, WR S Rice, and RB Brandon Jackson. We are a excited about our team and look forward to this year.
