#27 New England

Devin McCourty over Kyle Wilson? Oh, did you see the old man buy himself at the Patriots desk, he must have picked up.

Who's going to get Kyle Wilson?

Tebow Engage

So appearantly it's the pick we've all been waiting for in Tim Tebow. Lucky for me living in Denver my stockpile of What Would Tebow Do Bracelets can come out of the basement.

You had a feeling Denver was up to something goofy with all the moving around. But part of me thinks this pick was a ticket seller more than anything else. I mean, do you really think this guy will play Quarterback? I can see him in red zone situations and it will be awesome watching him do the fake handoffs, fake scramble, pump fake, run it in from 5 yards. But that will only work so many times. Oh well, at least it gives Denver fans something to talk about.

#19 Atlanta - Sean Weatherspoon

Yeah, Missouri's another Big 12 pick, right? Missouri's a Big 12 team?

Maurkice Pouncey

Just kissed a guy??

#16 Tennessee Titans

Derrick Morgan the defensive end from Georgia Tech. No big suprise here, the Titans needed someone to replace Vanden Bosch and give them another man for the DL rotation.

He highlights don't wow me, but he looks solid.

Dez Bryant and & Tim Tebow still available...

Kiper is pissed the 49ers didn't pick Classen, which ruins his mock draft again.

#30 Detroit Lions

I'm offically a Detroit Lion fan. Suh, Jahvid Best, on top of Vanden Bosch and Calvin Johnson, Burleson, and Scheffler make for an entirely different team for the Lions. Thanks to that jerk Jim Schwartz who left the Titans last year.

If I'm a Lion fan I can't wait for week 1...I can't wait for week 1.

Eagles

I keep forgetting I can be an Eagles fan again after they got rid of that over rated quarterback the media wanted to see succeed.

Nice point Gruden made with Brandon Graham taking Bryan Bulaga out in the highlight clips.

The biggest question for the Eagles? Where does Kevin Kolb go in the 2010 FF Draft...

Trades trades trades

What is going on??

I'm starting to think that Belichek is paying McDaniels under the table to blow up the Broncos.

Dez Bryant still available...

Jimmy Clausen still available...

Tim Tebow...nevermind...

Tyson Alualu

Mel Kiper just called him a quick penatrator. Not sure if that's a compliment.

Kiper's very upset because his Mock Draft just got turned upside down.

#9: Marshawn Lynch lynched

Interesting, I believe Shane's picked Buffalo running backs in the last 2 FF Drafts.

Sticking with the Bills this year Shane?

This is an exciting pick for the Bills, not sure if it's their answer, but perhaps they're thinking about the Jets and Miami D.

Wow,

The Raiders pick Rolando McClain, wow, not what I expected.

Speechless, but this is a guy a lot of teams were talking abouttaking in the 2nd half of the draft.

Obviously Al Davis hasn't played Madden before because you can make any MLB a 90+ rating in just 1 season.

At least he has some poker experience. Shout out to pokertilt.net!

The Raiders Defense was their strengh, now they're stronger. But they're full of holes and busts on offense...

Damnit!

Well the Browns took the guy I was hoping for in Joe Haden. I really think he would have looked better in a Titans uniform. Was that Flava Flav?

Seeing the highlights reminds me of the fact that most teams were in desperation mode and couldn't run in the first place against Florida. Haden had softballs thrown his way.

Talk suggests the next CB will be Kyle Wilson known for being a make or break corner with shut down skills.

Will he drop to 16?

Can't wait for the Raiders pick, I don't care who it is it's going to be a laugher....

Another pick another Big 12er

Five of the first six picks out of the Big 12 with Russell Okung.

Cleveland is on the clock. Jimmy Classen here we go.

Gotta love Direct TV. They don't need all this effort in their commericals let alone a clebrity appearance by Trebeck...two words "Sunday Ticket".

EB to KC

Another feminine name in the KC backfield, a Berry to go with Flowers.

Berry will certainly be a plus to keep the great AFC West quarterbacks of Kyle Orton and JaMarcus Russell at bay. But playing the likes of San Diego and the Colts down the road make this pick a long term success.

I really like the mic on the players as their talking to their potential suitors. Doesn't that take a little away from Goodell's announcements though?

#4 Jimmy Clau-er oops hang on a sec

And the Jimmy Clausen watch begins. How far will he drop in the 1st round?

If I were him I'd be at home watching with no cameras.

Instead it's Trent "Silverback" Williams, not sure if that's a self-given or assigned nickname. Shane what do you think?

This OT was a need for Washington. No excuses for their 3 headed monster now, Clinton "Frogman" Portis, Willie P, and LJ.

With McNabb at the helm and Haynesworth helpfully returning from an off year last year the Redskins will make some noise in the NFC East.

May the Haynesworth trade offers begin.

A Big 12 Supertrifecta!

Oklahoma, Nebraska, Oklahoma...and still a green room full of Big 12ers. Go Buffs.

Suh da man

Funny how this guy goes from no name to the 2nd pick in the draft. The first time I heard of him was before the Big 12 game where he almost single handedly beat Texas.

So far no trades, just a bunch of nervous and anxious kids.

Gerald McCoy crying...touching.

And with the number 1 pick in the draft

Sam Bradford to the St. Louis Rams!

The question is for how long? If you listen to the hype there were lots of teams after this guy, but then again that's maybe all it was.

Tune into this blog and the one below from my good friend Shane all night for commentary and updates.

NFL Draft Tomorrow

Tomorrow's a big day for the NFL and its fans. This year the Christmas feel of the draft is more like Hanukkah with 3 crazy nights! Since Super Bowl Sunday and for some fans longer, it is what we've been waiting for. Check back tomorrow for live updates, perspective, and comments!

Who will the Titans pick in the first round? Hopefully a stud cornerback or even linebacker. After signing defensive lineman Tony Brown to a contract today, it may take a freefall of Jason Pierre-Paul from USF, Derrick Morgan from Georgia Tech, or a reach for Carlos Dunlap from Florida for the Titans to try and replace Kyle Vanden Bosch.

Where will Rothlesomething end up? Probably still in Pittsburgh. I really think the Steelers are stirring up trade rumors to give the appearance that they really are upset with Big Ben's behavior. I know better, if Kobe can still play in LA and make commercials, Big Ben will be back in the Steel City and selling Fat Heads.

Oh boy it's like Christmas Eve! See you tomorrow.
