Jack Howard had reached a decision on who he was taking with the first pick - kind of. However, no one will ever know - not even Jack because he has passed the buck (pick). In a bold move - John Moscariello has taken ownership of the pick that nobody wants. (Not speaking for John - that will be in his Blog alert - but during trade discussions, Mosco made it known that he did not want to lose the person he was going to choose and he thought it was likely.)
The Griz move to the 3rd slot - what does this mean to them. Based on discussions with the Trash Heap Boss, it was evident that while the King Griz wanted to chose the same person that Mosco wants, Jack had probably emlinated that person from his final 2 - at least for the moment. Jack's greatest fear right now is that Johnny Miller might have figured out how to pick all the remaining players Jack wants with the second overall pick. That's right - Johnny may have figured out how to claim 13 players with one pick. Oh what a nightmare. Jack knows it isn't possible, Johnny can only take 1 player or pitcher, but the nightmare has been rolling through Jack's brain ever since he accepted Mosco's offer.
Well, we will see. One thing is for sure - the complexion of the draft has changed - or has it???

It doesn't surprise me that the GRK's old nemeis (Mosco's Trash
Heap) moved up to grab the #1 pick.
The Roadkill front office was hoping when Mosco refused to be interviewed for the "HSH" he had the 2008 Rookie draft on
auto-pilot. Instead he was working the phones with GCG's Jack Howard to steal the top pick.
The Roadkill haven't had this high a pick since the Vlad/Helton rookie seasons so the scouts have worked overtime in the off-season to make sure they sign another future NASBL HOF'r.
hmm...looks like I missed out on the chat! Damn Valentine's day...haha
