24. Pittsburgh Steelers: Michael Booker, CB, Nebraska. In terms of physical ability, he's not as good as Kansas State's Chris Canty. Booker has better size and is not as cocky.

25. Dallas Cowboys: Kenny Holmes, DE, Miami (Fla.). Inconsistent but very quick and fluid. He might be the answer now that selfish borderline-psycho Charles Haley's back has finally called it quits.

26. San Francisco: Pat Barnes, QB, Cal. They probably considered QB Jake "the Snake" Plummer of Arizona State, who reminds people of Joe Montana.

But new head coach, Steve Mariucci, will take this kid, whom he helped develop into a prospect. He doesn't have Plummer's intangibles or footspeed. I wish they would take Plummer because of his grit, but Barnes is the coach's guy.

27. Carolina Panthers: Reidel Anthony, WR, Florida. They have confidence in last year's pick, Muhsin Muhammed, but Anthony adds 4.4 speed, the ability to return kicks, and a deep threat. He doesn't catch all the balls he should, however.

28. Denver Broncos: Trevor Pryce, DE, Clemson. He's very big at 6'5", 280. He's risk because of inconsistency, but can be dominating.

29. New England Patriots: Sam Madison, CB, Louisville. He provides needed help at corner, since he breaks on the ball well and is confident.

30. Green Bay Packers: Chris Naeole, OG, Colorado. They can go after Naeole because he's the best player left, and they don't have any glaring needs. Naeole will give you visions of B.A. Barracus and Clubber Lang with his intimidating Mr. T mohawk.

This is just a taste of what the draft is all about. It's even better than the Super Bowl in some sense because every team can participate in the anticipation and the build-up.

I love these two days. I get chills just imagining NFL commissioner Paul Tagliabue coming up to the mike and saying those immortal words, "We have a trade."

We'll sort through all the carnage afterwards, so make sure to check back here on Tuesday for a complete draft review and grades for each team.
