So the NFL draft is over. 1 QB went in the first rd, Florida State's EJ Manuel went to Buffalo after they traded down with St. Louis and STILL got the guy they wanted. The Carolina Panthers fixed some issues on the defensive line drafting DT's in the 1st and 2nd rounds. Star Lotulelei fron Utah and Kawann Short from Purdue. Carolina had no 3rd rd pick after a deal with San Fran last year to move up and get Frank Alexander. In the 4th they took Edward Kugbila, OG from Valdosta State. In the 5th, they took ILB AJ Klein from Iowa State and in the 6th they selected Kenjon Barner, an RB from Oregon. Could that selection mean DeAngelo Williams may be on the way out? I certainly hope not!

In college baseball news, #6 NC State had a 3 game series with the #1 ranked Tarheels over the weekend. The Heels took the first game 7-1 but the Wolfpack came back to win the 2nd 7-3.
