The popular pick among some of the analysts about who had the best 2008 NFL Draft is the Kansas City Chiefs.  I think they were solid, but with 12 (?) picks you better find a good player here and there. I think the Pittsburgh Steelers had a great draft.  In particular RB Rashard Mendenhall and WR Limas Sweed, who I think are both steals for where they were drafted.  QB Dennis Dixon could also be a major find.. DETROIT (Reuters) – With just days to go for Chrysler LLC to reach agreements to cut labor and debt costs or face bankruptcy, members of Michigan’s Democratic congressional delegation said on Saturday the onus was now on the U.S automaker’s creditors to make concessions. Stocks  |  Bonds  |  Global Markets  |  Private Capital  |  Italy”The unions have come to the table over and over and over again and have taken huge cuts,” said Senator Debbie Stabenow on the sidelines of a Michigan Democratic Party fundraising event in Detroit, the heart of the beleaguered U.S. auto industry.”It is now incumbent on the creditors, in particular those that have taken public funds, to make some concessions and be a part of the solution,” Stabenow said.Chrysler, which is about 80 percent-controlled by private-equity firm Cerberus Capital Management LP , faces a Thursday deadline by the Obama administration to reach cost-cutting deals and cement an alliance with Italian carmaker Fiat SpA.If the automaker fails to do that, Chrysler could see further U.S. government support withheld and face potential liquidation.Michigan Democrats said the announcement on Friday of a tentative concession deal between the Canadian Auto Workers union and Chrysler showed the unions were acting in good faith and it was now up to the creditors to follow suit.The CAW deal would reduce hourly labor costs by C$19 ($15.70) and save Chrysler about C$240 million annually in benefits, time off, “legacy costs” and improved productivity, but not through lower base wages or reduced pensions.That deal will be put to CAW-represented workers for ratification this weekend.Talks on concessions between the United Auto Workers union and Chrysler continued on Saturday. UAW President Ron Gettelfinger had been due to attend the fundraising event, but canceled his appearance because of the talks with Chrysler.’NEW BATTLE LINES’The U.S. auto industry has suffered from its worst sales in decades, with the recession and the credit crunch taking a heavy toll.
