RE: My fear...

My fear is that we get stuck with only middling 
talent in the draft and via free agency.  I can't 
believe some team with a pick somewhere in 
the 4-7 area wouldn't want to pick up two
lotto picks and/or Vitaly Potatpenko for their
pick.  I absolutely hate that that little Jason Williams
is such a mama's boy.  Could Duke suck any more?
Yeah, he has to get a degree before he declares.
WHY?  Didn't he ever hear of taking classes in the
offseason?  Anyway, it's not like he's ever going to have
to find a job; once you're drafted, you are financially
secure for ten generations.  I almost feel like it would
serve him right to break his foot and end up being picked
at the end of the first round.  You know what else I hate?
How pompous hacks like Chris Monter make mock drafts
featuring mediocre senior stiffs, because they don't want to
encourage good young players to come out.  No, better
they should starve for the sake of their athletic departments.
