There Brown goes, Carolina leapfrogs Miami to get him. ---

Wow, two teams give away 2010 1sts to get extra picks in the second round. ETA: Miami drafts Pat White! Did not see that coming. Glad they didn’t take a DB though. ---

Wow! Pat white did not seem like a Parcels pick at all. Unless they are commited to keepinmg the wildcat long term as a major offensive piece ---

Surprising. That offense is doing to get confusing for defenses if they keep Ronnie Brown in the Wildcat role as well. ---

Huh. A 4-3 team drafted one of the rare actual 3-4 college OLBs available. ---

Kind of a shame though … I was hoping white would go to a team where he had a chance to become the starting QB eventually. Miami seems committed to Henne for the future. Still, I expect them to run some crazy-ass shit this year. Parcells has always been a trick-play lover. ---

Ugh, now it gets scary. Both Oakland and Denver have the same needs as the Bears right now. ---

Well Beatty is the best OL left. I wonder if there is any change he might fall to the Lions at 65 ☹ ---

> [@wolfman](#): > > Well Beatty is the best OL left. I wonder if there is any change he might fall to the Lions at 65 ☹ I like Loadholt better and so do a lot of experts. One of the two might last that long. Seems like most of the teams that really needed a guy got them already. Though if the Bears picked up Loadholt as a RT I might not hate it. Connor Barwin goes to Houston. Nice fit there. Fills a need and will compliment Williams. Oakland takes a S, but not the one I was worried about. ---

Okay, I knew the Raiders would pick a safety in the second round, but I thought they’d at least pick someone I’d heard of. Who the eff is Michael Mitchell??? This draft sucks. EDIT: Apparently he ran a 4.4. Shocking. ESPN and SI don’t even have him listed in the player database. This draft sucks. I’m turning off the TV. ---

Hmm. [I picked](http://boards.straightdope.com/sdmb/showpost.php?p=11020505&postcount=83) Mike Mitchell as a 6th round sleeper and Oakland took him in the 2nd. Looks like everyone I wanted in the 2nd dissapeared between #36 and #50… ---

Loadholt looks a bit slow to me. I see him getting beaten by too many speed rushers. But if the lions got him I would still be happy(on the relative ‘Lions are usually Morons’ scale). ---

It took forever to register the pick because I think they had to add him on the spot. Hehe, the fucking Raiders are a joke. ---

> [@wolfman](#): > > Loadholt looks a bit slow to me. I see him getting beaten by too many speed rushers. > But if the lions got him I would still be happy(on the relative ‘Lions are usually Morons’ scale). Yeah, that’s why I was saying he ought to be a RT. He’s a road grader. ---

Whew…the Broncos and Raiders both take Safeties, and neither takes Smith, thank god. The fact they took Safeties should go even further to force the Bears to go that direction instead of WR. Come on, take Sean Smith. Wait until the 3rd to go WR…please. ETA: And the Bears trade back…hmm, I’ll reserve judgment on this until I see what we got and who’s left. ---

Hehe, SI still doesn’t have Mitchell on the board yet I guess they didn’t have any intern around who can create a database entry. 😉 ---

What in THE FUCK? We trade back and get a 3rd and 4th? Seattle and San Fran trade back and 2010 first rounders…this doesn’t seem right. Stupid Bears, they better have a a ton of confidence in the middle of the draft board. The one hope is that Sean Smith is still available at the top of the 3rd. If that happens I’m totally cool with it, if not I’m going to be PISSED! ---

We will now take bets on the first team to make a pick: Cowboys or Bears. ---
