The following is a list of reasons why they shouldn’t, and therefore probably won’t, pick DeCastro:

1. There is not enough value in a Guard to justify using a top 15 pick. Compared to just about every other position on a team, an excellent Guard is easy to find.

2. There is a reason that in the 13 drafts since 2000(and probably more, I just stopped at 2000 because more than 10 drafts seemed like a reasonable sample size), no one (not even the Raiders) have used a top 15 pick on a Guard. The closest was last year when a Center, Mike Pouncey, was chosen with the 15th pick. That being said, Centers rarely get drafted in the first 15 picks, and they have more relative value than Guards.

Peyton Manning, QB of the Indianapolis Colts, has just recently been cleared medically by 2 separate Dr.’s to play after k has healed, and Peyton could be back in uniform as soon as he is able to volley accurate footballs into hands of Reggie Wayne and Pierre Garcon.  Without him, his Colts were an abysmal 2-14; bad enough to ‘win’ the 1st overall pick in the 2012 NFL Draft.  The prize, the Heisman Trophy Candidate from Stanford, Andrew Luck.

But in the end, the massive football fan in me couldn’t resist watching the last football game until August, even if it did involve two hated teams, including a division rival.
