So 21 of the 25 prospects who accepted invitations to the draft have been selected, leaving four guys — Randall Cobb, Rahim Moore, Ryan Williams and Mark Herzlich — in the green room. I assume they went home for the night and will be back for the start of Round 2 at 6:00 p.m. ET.- Nate Davis of USA Today predicts what will go down in Round 2, but we all know there’s little chance the Patriots hold onto that 33rd overall pick.
- Another second round mock draft. This one has Da’Quan Bowers going to Buffalo 34th.
- On paper, the Saints “made out like thieves” last night. Some very good analysis from Blogging the Boys.
- The guys at Larry Brown Sports think the Falcons gave up too much for Julio Jones. I’ll admit it was quite the risk for a team that is already a contender and has a No. 1 receiver. But Jeff Schultz of the Atlanta Journal Constitution likes it.
- What the hell happened when the Ravens passed on their 26th pick last night? Blame it on Bears general manager Jerry Angelo. Baltimore is looking for compensation for Chicago’s communication screw-up.
- So, who’s going to throw to A.J. Green?
- Jake Locker to the Titans might have been the draft’s first big surprise.
- The more I read about the Marcell Dareus pick for the Bills, the more I warm up to it.
- I love the Anthony Castonzo pick for the Colts. So does Bob Kravitz of the Indianapolis Star.
- They say it takes two or three years to assess a draft. But in this age, we can’t wait that long. Get your draft grades here, your winners and losers here and even a fashion breakdown here.
- The first round of the draft by the numbers.
- Steve Serby of the New York Post with good advice for Roger Goodell.
- Oh good, Jenn Sterger news.
