Once again no Dickinson College Football players were drafted by the NFL. Shocker. One of these years my former Dickinson teammate Scott Cohen (Director or Pro Personnel for the Eagles) should waste a pick on one of the guys from the almer mater. He wouldn't be doing much worse than the Dolphins. How can you pass on Brady Quinn for Tedd Ginn Junior? The Dolphins need a franchise quarterback and they had one with all the tools and poise (on and off the field) and instead they take an undersized receiver who can't go over the middle and who is hurt. Where have you gone Don Shula and Dan Marino.

Meantime, the Patriots should book their flight to the Super Bowl right now. Randy Moss for a fourth round draft pick...are you kidding me? I know the history on Randy Moss. I also know his talent. I was a 25 year old reporter covering his high school games in West Virginia. I saw the best of Randy and the worst. Here's the bottom line now: He still is (when he wants to be) the most dynamic player in the NFL. He knows he will get no second chances with Bill Belichick. This unwritten double secret probation code, plus the addition of Donte Stallworth and Wes Welker, plus some quarterback with three rings named Brady, should make Moss unstoppable again.

A close friend of mine from West Virginia, who covered Moss in high school and at Marshall, made a good point to me today on the phone. The biggest issue Randy Moss has ever had is that he wants to win. He will win big with the Pats. And even if he "only" catches 60 or 70 passes, if the Pats get back to the Super Bowl, the pride of Rand, West Virginia (where he once teamed with Jason Williams in hoops and youth football) will still be happy.

Finally, I am thrilled for the two local running backs who were drafted Sunday. UConn's Deon Anderson went in the 6th round to the Cowboys and Central's Justise Hairston also was picked in the 6th round by the Patriots. Both have overcome a lot of adversity and have a great opportunity ahead. Deon will be a maniac on special teams and Hairston could get some carries backing up Maroney. Not bad for a kid who was a backup at Rutgers before transferring to Central for his senior year.

Now let me try to convince Scott Cohen to take a Dickinson Red Devil next year, but never ahead of anyone named Brady or a quarterback from Notre Dame.
