After a weekend anchored to the couch watching the draft, it's all random stuff today:

Three drafts I loved:
Vikings: Adrian Peterson will be a 1,500-yard back by 2008; WR Sidney Rice will make Tarvaris Jackson a whole lot better; CB Marcus McCauley is a rough coverage guy with great size; DE Brian Robison, a great athlete, should eventually be a double-digit sack guy and a demon on special teams; and LB Rufus Alexander will be a starter before too long and should be a regular on the Sunday night highlight shows for his big hits.

49ers: Patrick Willis, who endured three different linebacker coaches in his last three seasons, is headed for stardom in the NFL. OT Joe Staley fills a huge need and WR Jason Hill is very underrated, a hands receiver who runs sub-4.4.
