Ah, Cleveland kills the streak, but as backrow pointed out, this is our best round so far, with still plenty of good white players left.

The late rounds almost always are the best rounds for white players, but unfortunately are not good rounds for becoming starters in the NFL.

True, and not very good from the financial aspect either.

I see Xavier Omon (ran a 4.59, best time, at the NFL Combine) of Div. II went to the Bills at pick 179 in the 6th round. Omon is much less of an athlete than Danny Woodhead (much slower, much less elusive, much less burst etc). He had very good production in Div. II, but not at the level of two time Harlon Hill trophy winner Danny Woodhead.

Oh, but Omon is black and is 5'11 226 lbs. instead of white 5'8 and 200 lbs. I guess that is enough for the NFL to completely ignore the most productive RB in U.S college history Danny Woodhead.

I see that Mike Humpal, the linebacker from Iowa drafted by Mike Tomlin`s Steelers, is already being touted as a replacement for White Special Teams Demon, Clint Kriewaldt.

Anyway, thanks Coach Tomlin for one white guy!

Kevin Colbert, the personnel guy: You should be ashamed of yourself.

What else can you expect from the team that the "Rooney Rule" is named after?Edited by: Don Wassall

True, Don. Sad, but true.

After two more years, I bet, the veteran white standouts on the D-line will be replaced by blacks, and then the Steelers will be down to Big Ben, Miller the TE, maybe the center, the kicker, the punter, and a token white backup or two.

Will the fans accept this? Sadly, they`ll probably just roll over and take it up the....

Whites we need drafted in the last 50 picks or so: Todd Blythe, Danny Woodhead, Peyton Hillis, Caleb Campbell, Jamie Silva, Ben Moffit, Jeremy Leman, Derek Lokey, Brian Johnston. Am I missing any?

I wouldn't mind seeing Justin Beaver, Luke Swan and Danny Amendola sign as FAs so they can pick their team. These guys are either small or lack blazing speed so they will have to pick an organization that doesn't specialize in white extinction policies. Swan and Amendola could be great slot guys. If they are smart they will never pick the Chicago Bears or Blacksonville Jaguars: curse those teams for screwing white skill players! Edited by: ToughJ.Riggins

I was hoping the Colts would take a chance with Danny Woodhead, but that's not likely since they took Mike Hart.

That's one of the few times the "unathletic" guy got picked...Edited by: Sean

As long as Big Ben is there and they have a white TE and at least one white on the o-line, the fans will take it in stride. They were basically that black in the early years of the Cowher regime. The only racial consciousness any of the drunk white fans have is of the stereotypical Archie Bunker kind -- embarrassing,crude, kneejerk reactions with no underlying comprehension of the bigger picture.

Round 6 ends with TE Matt Sherry going to Cin. 16 white players were taken in the 6th.

Yet another small school RB taken ahead of Woodhead. Lex Hilliard from Montana ran a plodding 4.68 at the Combine. What a travesty!

Oh yeah and I forgot to mention; Tim Hightower who plays for Div. IAA Richmond and ran a 4.51 40, but was unproductive until this year was taken by the caste whore Arizona Cardinals in the 5th round. These teams love small school black RBs, but hate the white guy with 4.38 speed who is the most productive RB in the history of college football. Makes a lot of sense.
