Already reports that the Bengals too Moch and the Broncos took Nate Irving, I suspect the Bills pick swill be announced in the next 8 seconds. ---

This has been a good year to be a lineman. Both Offensive and Defensive. ---

Mallett in the next couple picks to the Bills or Cardinals? ---

OK, I went back and looked at when I started talking about Colin Kaepernick. I first mentioned him on the boards [here in September 2010](http://boards.straightdope.com/sdmb/showpost.php?p=12928333&postcount=89), but I thought he’d become a receiver (I didn’t yet know about his arm). [Here](http://boards.straightdope.com/sdmb/showpost.php?p=13341738&postcount=71) I said He’d be as good and cheaper than Cam Newton (boy did I get the cheaper part right). Right after the BCS Championship game. Then [I called dibs on Kaepernick in January](http://boards.straightdope.com/sdmb/showpost.php?p=13395231&postcount=1). Thanks to the 49ers for collecting on that. 😃 I see the Bengals picked Dontay Moch, now only Acho is left on my round 3 shopping list. ---

Too soon to start hoping Martez Wilson slides to the Bears? ---

I know Justin Houston had the MaryJane positive at the Combine. Were there other knocks on him that dropped his stock this far? ---

Little surprised Hankerson and Doss are still available. ETA: Wow, Mallett to the Pats. Watch out Tom. ---

Damn, there goes another potential Bears guy. Would have liked to reunite Moffitt and Carimi. ETA: Uh oh. OG run, Bears might miss out on Boling. ---

> [@FoieGrasIsEvil](#): > > Too bad why? Dalton has a good skillset. He wasn’t the pick I wanted or would have taken, but its not necessarily a bad pick. The Bengals have a talented roster. The Bengals need to shore up the offensive line and get a safety now and they will be good, provided they resign Jonathon Joseph, Cedric Benson and Leon Hall with all the money they will be saving by not having to pay Carson Palmer 12 million dollars and OchoSucko 6 million this season. Missed this post. Sorry. I like the pick, but I just assume the Bungles will screw him up somehow. Ponder was my second choice for QB. I dislike their division opponents, so go Bungles! ---

Austin Pettis? really? With Hankerson still on the board? WHY? ---

Hankerson to the Redskins, great, great value. How often can you say that about a Redskins pick? ---

I am starting to think that someone knocked over the Rams draft board last night and just put the names back up in a random order. ---

Vincent Brown is WAY too small to be a Chargers WR. ETA: A bunch of teams scraping to find LBs in this round. ---

14 of 25 picks in this round are defensive. This draft is crazy defensive overall. ---
