    The only one I've seen is a last years version, with the new logo.

    I've only got audio from the mls stream, video seems frozen ;/ Too many people logging on(hopeful?)?

    Ah well. Draft tracker seems to be working decent enough, though a few picks behind...

    damn you columbus -- they called a five minute timeout with the pick right before us (traded for dallas' pick).

    that's ridiculous....his average projection was 63rd, wtf? by contrast, whoever said germanese would be available much later, his average projection was 28.

    Well, Onalfo sure looks upbeat.

    And lord knows I'll have fun yelling 'YOMBY!!!!'

    Anyone know if he's a guy we can get forward on set pieces to get a head in?

    I'd also be curious as to what keepers will be available. Sort of have the feeling Hartman won't be around come '09 or '10...

    No one knows his real age. Many people think he is 26.

    i'd say they're worth a lot for gauging where players will go generally. i will bet you that he is the furthest from his projection of any pick.

    from proplayerpipeline: "Yomby William, the oldest player at the combine - 26yo, doesn’t have much upside. He might be worth a late round flier. He has good ball skills and wheels to cover. His defensive positioning is weak and would need to be improved."
