Okay, they are ending it.

ESPN was scheduled to show this until 11 PM. Got a lot of dead air to fill.

I'll do my team-by-team first day analysis after I eat.

no, it said On the clock Dolphins and then it said in that little box (ESPN) : Pick is in, indicating that they have picked their 3rd round pick. Guess it was just an error though.

I think I'm gonna stick with one thread for the entire draft rather than having day 1 and day 2 threads.

Good talking with all of you guys about these first two (extremely ODD) rounds.


So, who is the insane value right now for Day 2?

I have Dan Connor, Justin King, Dre Moore, Chris Johnson, Doucet, Xavier Adibi and Cliff Avril as major value picks in Round 3 and on.

For the Skins fans, of whom I know there are many on this site:

Why did we expend our top 3 picks on players who cannot possibly be on the field together? With 2nd rounders teams are looking for starters, and top flight starters. The likelihood is that all 3 of our picks start on the bench, If either DT or MK break thru it is to the exclusion of the other. If FD starts it means a 2 TE set and MK/DT miss snaps.

I don't get it.

Skins went BPA the whole way.

Booty should still be there pick 7 in round 3...I think Chicago likely takes him then.

I just hope the Lions drafted two players that will start and be impact players on the first day. Otherwise, more suckage. We need a RB on day 2, who is left? Jamaal Charles, Tashard Choice...?

Kevin Smith

I'm hoping Red Bryant slips to the Cowboys. Anybody else would be just a guy. At least for next season. Lavelle Hawkins would be interesting.

Is Terrell Thomas any good? Why didn't the Giants take Connor? Do they hate linebackers? This makes no sense.

And now I have to wake up at 10 am tomorrow for round 2. I'm on super tilt.

I've been gone most the day, but it looks like this was a crazy draft.

Also, can't believe this post I made actually came true

Thomas is a more refined prospect than Justin King and a bit quicker than Godfrey. I expect the Giants to cut either RW McQuarters or Sam Madison (or both) to make room for Thomas. I thought they'd address CB on day 2 and look at a linebacker like Tavares Gooden in the 2nd round. Was banking on Connor in the 2nd after he dropped so far.

I was making fun of the Eagles trading all their picks earlier, but it seems with all the bonehead picks every other team were making, there's a lot of value to be had still. Plus that Carolina trade was lol-one sided-"are you serious? trade done" laughable.

GO GO GO EAGLES!

Why the hell did the Jets trade up for that TE? Why not just wait on Fred Davis? They could have grabbed Hardy or Jackson for WR no? Why trade up for that TE but not for Stewart?

Pacist Vikings on not taking Brohm

At this point, absolutely everybody is flummoxed by Brad Childress' total faith in Tarvaris Jackson at quarterback. Should Jackson not turn into a competent pro, there is neither a long-term backup plan or an immediate backup player.

Keller's combine numbers dominated Davis's numbers.

Reportedly Seattle was going to trade up to get Keller...the Jets must have liked this kid A LOT.
