I hope the Bears walk out of today with a pair of UNC guys, Austin and Little. Long shot at best but I’d love it. ---

I didn’t know about the Steeler’s pick till now-sweet. I’d hoped we’d get Heyward, if only because it seems so perfect. ---

I am going to bet that when the draft opens the Patriots will have traded their first pick to either the Bengals, the Niners or the Redskins. ---

I think we’ll find out quickly if Jim Harbaugh has a specific rookie QB that he wants. There are at least four teams ahead of the 49ers that could take QBs this round, they might want to jump up depending on who it may be. I’m nervous… ---

I think the Bears would have to trade up to get Austin, which is fine by me cause he’d be a wasted pick, but I’m not sure anyone should trade with the idiotic renegers who run the Bears draft. ---

Bengals very happy right now, they were trying to trade with the Packers yesterday to get Dalton. ---

Andy Dalton to be throwing to A.J. Green in Cincy. I liked Andy, too bad for him. ☹ ---

Heh, you’re probably right but a guy can hope. Hopefully enough teams are scared off of him that he slides. I really dislike Paea so I just hope he’s not the pick. ---

Kaepernick, excellent pick. I saw a lot of this guy at Nevada, he can play, and with Harbaugh there it should be an excllent fit, Harbaugh can hone those rough edges, shorten his delivery and treacch him some patience… ---

He was drafted by the Cubs? The 49ers are officially screwed. ---

I am following on [ESPN.com](http://ESPN.com) and it seems like the picks are being announced there before on TV. [Previous page](https://boards.straightdope.com/t/2011-nfl-draft/577786.md?page=20) [Next page](https://boards.straightdope.com/t/2011-nfl-draft/577786.md?page=22)
