#1, Alex Smith = better than you think. A rough road ahead though.
#2, Ronnie Brown = the next LT2 but, bigger. Saban knows whats up.
#3, Braylon Edwards = him and winslow = try and cover them both.
#4, Cedric Benson = black & blue running game has finally been resurected.
#5, Carnell Williams = under-rated and Gruden knows it. PERFECT fit.
#6, Adam Jones = 2 for 1 deal as the Titans had one of the worst punt return units in the NFL.
#7, Troy Williamson = Moss's speed replaced - C-Pep loses nothing.
#8, Antrel Rolle = Pass-happy west coast division will feel his presence.
#9, Carlos Rogers = Smoot replaced - best CB in draft?
#10, Mike Williams = Bye Bye Charles Rogers - too much money spent on one position. Mike's the REAL deal and the best wide-out in this draft.
#11, Demarcus Ware = the next LT?
#12, Shawne Merriman = who better to mold this workout warrior than Smash-Mouth Marty!
#13, Jammal Brown = 130 knock downs and no sacks allowed last season. They've been waiting to replace Kyle Turley.
#14, Thomas Davis = BEST tackler in this draft. The Cat's defense just got scarier.
# 15, Derrick Johnson = can play all 3 LB positions on a team that has all of it's starting lBs coming back from surgery.
#16, Travis Johnson = Continues to build a powerful front 7.
#17, David Pollack = Pollack brings a much needed explosive intensity to Marvin's defense.
#18, Erasmus James = Vikes having a great draft - this defensive line is scary!
#19, Alex Barron = Kyle Turley replaced times 2. Learning from Orlando Pace never hurts!
#20, Marcus Spears = 3-4 defensive change in Dallas rearing it's montrous head with this pick. Parcells is doing cart-wheels.
#21, Matt Jones = Shocker of the 1st round. but this guy has a "chance" to be scary. Jacksonville continues to be dedicated to surrounding Leftwich with players.
#22 = Mark Clayton = Its time to go offense in Baltimore and this guy is where you start. An immediate impact.
#23, Fabian Washington = Al Davis can't go without picking speed 2 years in a row. Though he is a reach at this point.
#24, Aaron Rodgers = Good things happen to those who wait. Mike Sherman is fired after this year though.
#25, Jason Campbell = I'm surprised. Ramsey will be with another team in the future.
#26, Chris Spencer = Gifted and fortifys the inside offensive line with versatility. Solid pick.
#27, Roddy "Sharron" White = consistent, fast and under-rated. Just what the Vick ordered.
#28, Luis Castillo = reach here but, who are we to question Marty's defensive picks?
#29, = Marlin Jackson = The next Ronde Barber but bigger. Instant impact - covered Braylon Edwards in practice.
#30, Heath Miller = Big Ben's dream come true - great fit! and even greater value at this spot - much under-rated TE.
#31, Mike Patterson = One-Gap penetrating high-motor hammer-head that will make an impact and keep Philly's trenches fresh.
#32, Logan Mankins = Mean , hard-working destroyer along an offensive line that is filled with low round picks.

A few fun comments and random observations made by the  Rock while he was pumping out a 26-pager for "Aristotle's  De Anima" and dealing away Priest  Holmes in the GBRFL...
1. That Wall Street-style  bell thing was corny as hell and quite awkwardly timed to boot. 
2. Did you get a load of Torry Holt's comment that Pacman Jones has "Allen Iverson Heart"?  So what do you mean, Torry, you think he's a punk? Equating Allen Iverson with a person with heart illustrates how much we have lost our sense of righteousness (I know using such a word may make some of you flinch; that fact too illustrates the point) and what it means to be stand-up.
3. So, could the Stegger have been on to something?  (No, not on something, you punks!)

Maybe you misunderstood the meaning of "heart" there Steggie. I don't know how much you watch Allen Iverson play, but there is NO ONE who plays harder and with more "heart" than AI. He's one of the smallest players in the NBA, yet he routinely drives to the basket only to be pummeled by some of the largest human beings on the planet. I'm not a big AI fan because of some of the off-court antics, but I know that there is nobody on the court trying harder to win each night than Allen Iverson.

In retrospect, I don't disagree with you that that is what Torry likely meant. But, for me, that's not "heart" in the complete sense". "Heart" is a bigger concept that points to both a material/physical manifestation (what you are proposing as the meaning) AND an attitudinal/immaterial/metaphysical manifestation (which is what I think Iverson lacks in all facets of his life). And, it is the lack of the latter that prevents so many, like Iverson, from achieving the "on the court/field" success that guys who do have true, comprehensive "heart", like say Michael Jordan or John Elway, have.

I guess the definition of "heart" as I interpreted Torry Holt to have used it (and that is the crux of your original post) is an attitudinal manifestation first and foremost. I'd also be interested in how you define "on the court/field success". Is it merely the winning of championships?

In very short, with respect to a dude in a position of having to carry his team (to (a) victory), sure, winning championships would definitely be a sufficient (read, not necessary) condition of the definition. Without doubt!
