Jets at #16 are on the clock. - gotta figure another pass rusher is gonna go. I'm thinking Ingram from South Carolina.
- Jets are taking their time. Meanwhile Rich Eisen is amazed that we're halfway through the first round in an hour and a half.
-down to the last minute here... and the pick is in. The Jets select Quinton Couples DE from North Carolina. I actually liked Ingram, Mercilus, and Jones better...
Only the Bengals pick before the chargers.
-I haven't paid much attention to who the Bengals are targeting. I think I'd heard running back, but I'm doubtful that they will pick a back here.
- and the pick is in CB Dre Kirkpatrick from Alabama. Becoming the third pick from the National Champions defense.
Chargers on the clock! Chargers on the clock! Will it be another Alabama defender? Maybe Melvin Ingram?
-that's my pick!
-and the pick is in... that did NOT take one minute off the clock on the screen.
-With the 18th pick, the San Diego Chargers select... Melvin Ingram OLB South Carolina. Excellent pick for me. Love him. That's the guy. Never dreamed he fall to the 18th pick!
Kiper thinks Ingram is the best pick from the middle of the first round.
The Bears are at 19, and Brother Rich says they should go Offensive line. Maybe South Dakota native Riley Reiff? Shea McClellan OLB from Boise State. He'll play DE in the Bears 4-3 opposite of Peppers. Could be an excellent pass rusher.
20th pick The Tennessee Titans .. are up next. No idea what they'll do.
They just announced the patriots have traded up to the 21st pick... and will select DE Chandler Jones
Titans selct WR Kendall Wright, WR from Baylor. I don't know much about him.

Picks 11-15
With the 11th Pick, the Chiefs select... Dontari Poe NT from Memphis. Pretty good pick. Have heard rave reviews about Poe from the draft sites I read. That was my prediction, and Jon Gruden agreed with me right as I said it.
In other news, I've been moved from the living room to the basement TV. Upsetting 3 boys and ending their PS3 run for the night.
And we're at pick 12 and no pass rushers taken yet... Will they top 2/3 guys last to my chargers? I hope so.
At #12 the Philladelphia Eagles select... my prediction is a pass rusher...because I just jinxed it.
-btw, the Eagles had to trade up to get this pick from the Seahawks. they put it on the screen but I couldn't type it fast enough.
-Eagles select DT Fletcher Cox from Mississippi State. Should be a good fit for them. Saw highlights of that guy, and he looked great on film. Dominated in the SEC.. which is saying something.
And the pass rushers are still out there. C'mon Chargers! AJ if you wanna move up to get the top pass rusher, do it now!
At #13 the Cardinals... "Timmah" texted in to guess that the Cardinals will take Michael Floyd. Let's see if he's correct.
(anyone else getting sick of the "Here Wego" commercial? I mean, it's a good commercial, but c'mon budlight... run a few different commercials)
-and the pick is in... WR Michael Floyd from Notre Dame! Timmah is one for one on predictions!
And still no real pass rushers taken yet. 5 Picks from the chargers pick, and no pass rushers taken yet. Crazy. Watch AJ pick a corner.
New google hangout... http://goo.gl/uCpum
Rams are picking at 14. And the pick is in...DT Michael Brockers LSU. Makes sense Jeff Fisher has usually made his money with good DT's.
15th pick belongs to the seahawks. - here the first pass rusher has to go, and the pick is in immediately.
-the Seahawks select - Bruce Irvin DE from West Virginia. Mayock is having "pickgasm". He loves him, and calls him the best pure pass rusher in the draft.
OK, up on the next post... 16-20... the jets, bengals, chargers, bears, and titans.

Dallas gave the Rams their second round pick to move up to the 6th pick.
Wow.
Jax, really didn't give up too much then... but I still don't agree with that pick.
at #6 Dallas takes the Honey Badger! good pick, I guess. Not sure I'd have traded up for him... particularly at the price. You mean to tell me the difference between Claiborne and the 2nd corner was worth a 2nd round pick? I don't get it.
at #7 Tampa Bay selects Mark Barron S from Alabama.
-well there goes my chargers prediction
at #8 Miami takes... Ryan Tannehill QB from Texas A and M. Good move there, not trading up for him. I'm not sold on him as a quarterback...but his college coach is now with the Dolphins, so he may know something more than me.
at #9 Carolina picks Luke Kuechly LB from Boston College. Seems like a good pick. Mike Mayock is absolutely loving the pick. I switched over to nfl network... and they immediately cut to commercial. back to espn.
at #10 the Bills select Stephon Gilmore, CB from South Carolina. Actually I heard he had a higher ceiling than Honey Badger.
Ok, I'm going to publish and come back with picks 11-15.

First 5 Picks!
Indy.. Andrew Luck.
Washington... Robert Giffin III
Cleveland ... Richardson
Minnesota ... Matt Kalil OT USC... seems like a good pick.
Meanwhile @ 5, The Jaguars have traded with the Buccaneers to move into the 5th. Tampa gains an extra 4th round pick for moving back. Sheesh...Minnesota absolutely raped the Browns, and got the guy they wanted.
Jacksonville ... the pick is... Justin Blackmon WR Ok. State.
Wow... #1 I'm surprised Blackmon went that high, and #2 - Why did Jax feel it necessary to move up to get him?
Dallas has moved up to 6.

Cleveland ... Richardson

I've got 1 minute.
Luck
Griffin
Richardson
Vikes will take Kalil.

NFL draft getting ready!
OK, I've got 5 tabs opened... (Twitter, Google+, Blogger, NFL networks Draft tracker, and espn).
Looks like we've had our first move of the draft, already as the Vikings have swapped spots with the Browns, so the Browns have moved up one spot to grab Alabama running back Trent Richardson.
For the right to move up One Spot, the Browns gave up their 4th, 5th, and 7th round picks. That's a crazy bounty for the Vikings for one spot. Good move by the Viking front office (when was the last time that sentence was typed?).
So, we're a half hour away from the start of the draft, and the top 3 picks are decided.
1. Indianapolis - Andrew Luck QB Stanford
2. Washington - Robert Griffin QB Baylor
3. Cleveland - Trent Richardson RB Alabama
4. Minnesota- ???
The Vikings had the third pick in the draft, were basically already on the clock, traded down, and now are basically back on the clock again.
What do you think the Vikings do here? Trade Down again? Make the Pick? Kalil? Honey Badger?
And... I have no reason for thinking this, other than a gut feeling... but I'm feeling a trade up move by the Chargers to target Alabama Safety Mark Barron.
I think I'm gonna try to post about every 5 picks or so.
Otherwise, I'll be starting a hangout at Google+ for some chat activity.
