"Marvin Harrison Jr., WR " Ohio State
Projected draft pick: Top 5

You'd have to be living under a rock to make it this far in the process without hearing about Marvin Harrison Jr. He's been on the draft radar for the last three years as one of the most vaunted receiver prospects since Randy Moss or Calvin Johnson.

Harrison Jr. has his dad's elite route-running skills, but he's more athletic than Pops was. A unicorn of a player, MHJ has the ability to make a quarterback better purely by the mismatches he creates on the outside.

You're going to be hearing his name for a long time to come."

Should be an interesting draft for non-pro sports snobs.

I just heard Bucky Brooks tell David Helman (former Cowboys Media, now Fox)... that in a strictly bidness sense, Dallas should take Michael Penix, QB U Washington @ Pick 24, and let someone else pay Dak his $60 million a year next year.

That would be the biggest story in the Draft... that almost surely won't happen, ;o)

Doesn't make me feel old.

I've never heard of these people.

Lyrics excerpt...

...
[Verse 1]
Let's dance in style, let's dance for a while
Heaven can wait, we're only watching the skies
Hoping for the best but expecting the worst
Are you gonna drop the bomb or not?

[Verse 2]
Let us die young or let us live forever
We don't have the power but we never say never
Sitting in a sandpit, life is a short trip
The music's for the sad men

[Verse 3]
Can you imagine when this race is won
Turn our golden faces into the sun
Praising our leaders, we're getting in tune
The music's played by the, the mad man

[Chorus]
Forever young, I want to be forever young
Do you really want to live forever?
Forever, and ever
Forever young, I want to be forever young
Do you really want to live forever?
Forever young

3, 2: Agreed.

Plenty of reasons to feel old here without thinking of ballplayers.

Pete Rose Jr. was the manager of a Minor League club in a place of my former residence. All of his father's natural charm (/s) and none of his talent.

Hey now.... Rogers changed the thread title back to the original article title, lol.

I'm not about to post one about feeling old. Not happening.

Looking forward to seeing Marvin Harrison Jr, play, though.
