2013 NFL Draft

Trust me.  I know absolutely nobody cares about my predictions, but me. I used to actually do a pool with some friends and it made the draft a hell of a lot more fun.  We'd make our picks, develop a point system and drink, play poker and eat like animals.  Those days are over sadly and I'm left to my own devices.  So here it goes and remember, I know absolutely nothing about this, but one year I actually did pretty well and had about 15 of the picks right, so I'm an authority in my own head.  I am actually going to include trades this year, just for the hell of it.  Which will make this a complete mess..


  1. Kansas City Chiefs - Luke Joeckel, OT, Texas A&M. Need line help for Smith and ground attack.
  2. Jacksonville Jaguars - Eric Fisher, OT, Central Michigan. Might go DE, but I think he's too good.
  3. Oakland Raiders - Sarrif Floyd, DT, Florida. Will grab Fisher if Jax goes for defense.
  4. Philadelphia Eagles - Dion Jordon, DE/OLB, Oregon. Most drafts have him going 2nd.
  5. Detroit Lions - Ezekial Ansah, DE/OLB, BYU. If Fisher is available, will offer 1st & 3rd to Raiders.
  6. Cleveland Browns - Dee Milliner, CB, Alabama. Milliner's injury history could make him drop a lot.
  7. Arizona Cardinals - Lane Johnson, OT, Oklahoma. Cards could shock and take Lotulelei
  8. Buffalo Bills - trade to Houston for 27th and 89th pick. If not Ryan Nassib. Houston Texans - Tavon Austin, WR, West Virgina
  9. New York Jets - Barkevious Mingo, DE/OLB, LSU. I hate this pick, but fills a need.
  10. Tennessee Titans - Chance Warmuck, G, Alabama. This guy said he wants to play for Tennessee.
  11. San Diego Chargers - D.J. Fluker, OT/G, Alabama. Third "Bama player in top 11.
  12. Miami Dolphins - Jonathan Cooper, G/C, North Carolina. Miami shocked he's still here.
  13. New York Jets - Kenny Vaccaro, S, Texas. With Austin gone, they go with biggest need.
  14. Carolina Panthers - Sylvester Williams, DT, North Carolina. Huge need, but could go WR.
  15. New Orleans Saints - Sheldon Richardson, DT, Missouri. Improves DL a lot, but Rhodes could go.
  16. St. Louis Rams - DeAndre Johnson, WR, Clemson. Rams apparently love this kid.
  17. Pittsburgh Steelers - Jarvis Jones, DE/OLB, Alabama.  Absolute beast who was originally top 5
  18. Dallas Cowboys - Trade with Indianapolis for 24th and a late rounder. Indianapolis Colts - Xavier Rhodes, CB, FSU. Worried the Giants might take their guy, they trade up.
  19. New York Giants - Tank Carradine, DE, FSU. With their CB gone, they go pass rush.
  20. Chicago Bears - Star Lotuelei, NT, Utah. Stock dropped from heart scare, but he's a top five talent.
  21. Cincinnati Bengals - Eric Reid, S, LSU. Will be buzz about them going after Vaccaro.
  22. St. Louis Rams - Alec Ogeltree, DE, Georgia. Rams second pick has to be DL.
  23. Minnesota Vikings - Manti Te'O, LB, Notre Dame.  Yep, he still goes first round.
  24. Dallas Cowboys (Via trade) - Bjoern Werner, DE, FSU. I can't believe I have him this low.
  25. Minnesota Vikings - Datone Jones, DE/DT, UCLA. A perfect fit and one that GB coveted.
  26. Green Bay Packers - Justin Hunter, WR, Tennessee. Need a pass rusher, but give Rodgers a WR.
  27. Buffalo Bills (via trade) - Ryan Nassib, QB, Syracuse. Bills drop 19 spots and get their guy.
  28. Denver Broncos - Alex Okafor, DE, Texas. Reach, but all the pass rushers are gone. Might get Lacy.
  29. New England Patriots - Jamar Taylor, CB, Boise St. Might reach for a Welker replacement.
  30. Atlanta Falcons - Desmond Trauffant, CB, Washington. Almost every mock has him at Atl or SF
  31. San Francisco - Matt Elam, S, Florida. Need a safety with Whitner struggling.
  32. Baltimore Ravens - Kevin Minter, ILB, LSU. Ravens take best available LB. Wanted Elam or Reid.
Well there you have it.  About 45 minutes of my life down the tubes, to humor my draft obsession.

White Privilege

This was a post I wrote on Facebook after surprisingly not seeing any moaning about the Documentary by Jose Antonio Vargas, titled White People Dayyum! I just scrolled my timeline and not a single white person got their feelings hurt by White People. I unfortunately haven't seen it, but the number of fake accounts that popped up on twitter, tells me it was a damn good show. Here's the thing. If someone of color aka non-white says "White Privilege," are you offended? If you said yes, then you are exhibiting white privilege. It has nothing to do with how hard you work or study, how you stayed out of trouble, because here's the thing, that is entirely the point. Somewhere out there, there are 100 Black, Spanish, Native American, Arab, Asian, who worked and studied as hard as you and never got in trouble, but they don't have what you "earned" or achieved. Stop looking at the one person you know who isn't white that achieved as your benchmark. Loo...

Quickie Review - Finding Vivian Maier

While I thoroughly enjoyed the film, especially the first 15-20 minutes, I was a little bothered by the way the film played out. The interviews with the clearly disturbed brother, sister and the mother, who obviously, was in for a cut, didn't need to be in the film. Then the woman who suggested abuse, yet seemed to have her life defined by Maier, as she tried to muster every ounce of emotion and fake guilt. Her friend, more than happy to be party of the charade. People who talk about abuse for the first time, usually don't do so on camera. The fact these scenes were so prominent, shows that they felt wronged that they were not rewarded. Maloof on the other hand, seems to disappear from the documentary during this part, almost hiding away from the fact, he went from complete praise, to even making money off of her, to destroying her personal legacy. He almost mentions the family of boys taking care of her rent, as an afterthought. Her burial spot, never shown, yet a video of her...

If You Listen To One Speech - Lana Wachowski

http://www.rollingstone.com/movies/videos/lana-wachowski-opens-up-about-difficult-past-and-attempted-suicide-20121024 Today I saw a link to a video for a speech by Lana Wachowski.  The last name rung a bell, but I could't put my finger on it. Lana, used to be Larry, one of the writer, director, producers of the Matrix trilogy, V for Vendetta and the upcoming Cloud Atlas.  Lana is transgendered and has "come out" as a woman.  She was being honored by the Human Rights Campaign. I didn't know what to expect when this broad woman with crazy hair and a raspy voice began to speak.  She began with the usual pleasantries and told of her hair dresser. She then tells of her desire to be a quiet person and how hard the success of the Matrix movies made this.  The first ten minutes is telling of how she's not quite ready to be this spokesperson.  Then she speaks about the new movie Cloud Atlas and reveals the heart of the movie and this speech. She states,"The resp...
