That is an awful awful trade by the Cowboys to go up to take Claiborne. I don't like it one bit.

Ooh, Iggles moved up from 15 to 12. Wonder who they fell in love with...

Cowboy's need a CB really, really, bad, what is so wrong with that, they gave up their #2 pick for it, but so what, likely no good corners on the board when they get their pick. They get another #4 for the effort, meh.
We're sorry, the voices in my head are not available at this time. Please try back again soon.
Yup, turns out they wanted DT Fletcher Cox. Most had him ranked ahead of Poe, who went immediately before him.
Actually, the top 12 has pretty much gone according to form. Very few surprises so far.

Andy Reid's going to Andy Reid. He sure loves d-linemen with his first pick.

I would rather have them continue to need a CB really, really bad.
Me not, good to see that they are addressing needs instead of stupid **** as par for the course.

Michael Floyd and Larry Fitz... too bad this is their QB:

Major defensive line run - 4 of the last 5 picks.
Officially falling: OT Reiff, DE Coples,

Looks like trade mania is over for tonight.
Just waiting for the Bears to pick, then signing off.

Lots of talent left. I'd like to see them trade down, but doubt there are any takers.

Doubt they will go offensive, even a lineman, but we are about to find out. Right, an OLB. Good, they need to start thinking about that position.
Wow, Shea McLellin, Boise State. His name has not come up all week around here.
Seems like a reach.

ESPN guys said his name was moving up the board all week. He was ninth rated player on Kipers board at the time he was selected with OLB's Lavonter Daivd of Nebraska and Courtney Upshaw of Alabama immediately ahead of him.

I figured they would go with Mercilus. But like I said, I'll cut Emery some slack.
This year.

And Weeden goes 22nd overall. 28 year old rookie who will be 29 during the season.
Cleveland still needs a WR.

Consensus seems to be that the Vikings were the big winners in the first round. When you can trade down and still get the player you wanted (and everyone knew you wanted), you know you did a good job.

A far cry from their years of losing picks for time limit violations.
I can't say I'm happy with the Bears. But maybe I just don't know enough about McLellin.
Saw Andrew Luck on Letterman last night. He does have kind of a doofus thing going on...

I knew it wasn't just me. If you enter "Andrew Luck looks" into google, the auto-completes are: "like a caveman" and "retarded"
Still, he did go to Stanford and scored high on the wonderlic so appearances are deceiving.

The Bears' first rounder met the local press today. The Bears are sure he's a DE, but he looks like a linebacker to me.

This was NFL.com's scouting appraisal from quite a bit before the draft:
Yikes. But yeah under 260lbs is not a 4-3 DE. He showed impressive speed at the combine (4.63 40; 2nd among DE's to only Bruce Irvin) but he's small and not very strong (19 reps at bench, 31.5 inch vertical).McClellin has started three consecutive years at defensive end for Boise State. He is an undersized DE who 3-4 teams will value at the OLB position. At just under 260 pounds, he can struggle at times against bigger linemen, but he has fifth-round value.
Looks like an OLB to me.

Yes, he does but Bears obviously think they can turn him into a premier DE. We'll just have to wait and see. Meantime, theymoved up in second round and took a WR, Alshon Jeffrey out of South Carolina. This was not a reach.
Jeffery was projected as a late-first to early second-round pick.
At South Carolina, Jeffery caught 183 passes for 3,042 yards and 23 touchdowns in 33 starts, before renouncing his senior year of eligibility.
Another big receiver for Cutler.
