Lightbulb A few random thoughts

I am now a bit more inclined to believe the team will make its pick at #7 than trade down.

For all the money involved at the top, picking at #7
is like betting on a come-card.

I always think back to Abdul the Rug Merchant's stall at the bazaar.
"Magic Carpets," his sign said.
"Some Fly. Some Don't."
