My husband and I are hosting our annual Draft Day Party. We're looking forward to the Bears doing well this year (we're optimists, obviously).

So how do you think your teams will draft?

Below are the 20 first round teams....me personally, I am kinda hoping the ravens will get Matt Ryan BUT now that Steve is gone we need another vet QB so hopefully we will go get a safety or CB. What do you predict your team will do?

1 Miami Dolphins
2 St. Louis Rams
3 Atlanta Falcons
4 Oakland Raiders
5 Kansas City Chiefs
6 New York Jets
7 New England Patriots
8 Baltimore Ravens
9 Cincinnati Bengals
10 New Orleans Saints
11 Buffalo Bills
12 Denver Broncos
13 Carolina Panthers
14 Chicago Bears
15 Detroit Lions
16 Arizona Cardinals
17 Kansas City Chiefs
18 Houston Texans
19 Philadelphia Eagles
20 Tampa Bay Buccaneers

I'm hoping the Bears get a good Offensive Lineman. Chris Williams, the OT out of Vandy would be a great pick. Knowing the Bears, they'll pick someone they'll call "The best athlete available" whether or not he can fill a need or even contribute.

As for the later rounds, I'm not sure if I want them to get another QB. It's not that I think Rex is the answer, I'm not sure if I can handle a couple of sub-par years while the new QB gets on the job training.

Lordy knows you guys can use a QB....just liek we can but I don't feel good about Ravens picking QBs....

My son and I will be glued to the TV to see where our awesome USC Trojans go - John David Booty, Fred Davis, Sam Baker, Sedrick Ellis, Keith Rivers and Chilo Rachel also Terrell Thomas - Fight On!

It'd be neat to get one of these Trojans on our Atlanta Falcons team.

My husband thinks I am nuts but I just LOVE watching Draft Day!!!

So far I like how we've drafted, but the QB questions scares me. This is the franchise that thought Cade McNown was a star.

7 Trojans drafted in the first 2 rounds! That's a new record!!!!!

I was thrilled!!

I was sad that John David Booty did not get drafted higher but I think he will fit well at Minnesota - he could challenge Tavares for starter eventually and even though the Vikings just got Gus Frerrotte, I think he will shine and make other teams wish they had not disregarded him.

On a side note, I am ecstatic to have a Trojan in Atlanta - Yay! Sam Baker!

I think that people underestimate John David's ability. I hope he does well at Minnesota, I think he has the makings of a great QB!
