The NFL Draft -- of cats

Mr. Whiskers -- QB, Detroit Lions


Look, you can question Whiskers lack of experience, he's only taken 385 naps in his young career, but you cannot question his skill set. He's got vision, decision making, the guts to make a throw with dogs in his face, everything you'd want. Detroit needs to build around a cat like this and it's the right pick.

Queen Princess -- OT, St. Louis Rams


Strength is what you look for a the O-line, at Princess has it in spades. Recording over 120 pounces as a kitten, Princess shows aggressiveness and tenacity you need at the next level. A low-risk, high reward pick.

Heathcliffe Garfield -- OLB, Kanas City Chiefs


K.C. is not far away from contending, and Garfield will give them the total package at linebacker with his quick reflexes, speed, intelligence and experience. Not afraid to bust out the claws when needed, Garfield notched 201 scratches last season, with 4 forced yarn ball fumbles.

Archie Tippytoes -- WR, Seattle Seahawks


In a bit of shock, the Hawks go wideout with the ultra-talented Tippytoes. With huge paws, unmatched quickness and a diva attitude, Tippytoes is already prototypical NFL receiver. Although mercurial at times -- he was accused of going "missing" for a day, only to return when hungry -- Tippytoes should bring good value at this spot.

Pausey Boddington the Third -- OT, Cleveland Browns


I hate this pick for Cleveland. Boddington showed up late for workouts, came to the combine overweight (he had trouble with table scraps as a kitten), has a noted problem with catnip and they already have a solid O-line! Boddington -- or PBIII, as he likes to be called -- is talented, no doubt, but you have to question his commitment and attitude.

Katian Sonayera Big -- DE, Cincinnati Bengals


The Bengals were probably going to roll the dice with Boddington, but they grab the much safer Big with pick number six. Big is prickly, but that is good with D-lineman. He led the SEC with 14 hisses and 85 shrill meows (an SEC record) as a kitten. Great pick here for the tough-luck Bengals.

Yvette Meow Mew -- TE, Oakland Raiders


Meow Mew has some of the softest paws in the draft and has shown he's a great teammate, well-known for rubbing up against owners' legs and purring. Nice to see Oakland go for someone a little more friendly than in years past.

Captain Stinkbutt -- RB, Jacksonville Jaguars


With RB being deep this season, Stinkbutt falls to number eight to Jacksonville. The Jags get a speed runner with great vision. Coaches insists Stinkbutt can see in the dark, and true or not, seeing the field is a neccesity for an NFL runningback.

Hewbert Sebastian -- QB, Green Bay Packers

Showing yet again, the draft is unpredictable, the Pack select Sebastian, despite having a starter in Aaron Rodgers. Sebastian brings an electrifying, scrambling style to the position, but is a bit of a loose cannon. It is well-documented that he routinely brought dead birds, squirrels and other small animals, and left them on owners' doorsteps. Although this story got a lot of press, he was just being territorial.

Scarlett O'Hairy -- LB, San Francisco 49ers


O'Hairy brings leadership and a veteran quality from the linebacker position. While older than a number of the cats in the draft, O'Hairy has shown consistency (eating at the same time everday, letting the kids play with him) teams look for.
