He’s from Iowa though ---

That’s the least amount of Booing from Jets fans in years. Can’t be unhappy with Wiliams there, really. ---

Fuck fuck fuck fuck…so close. **6th Pick - Leonard Williams - New York Jets** This is the team that needed a DL less than anyone but they did the smart thing and went BPA, like you’re supposed to. Terrible outcome for my Bears but could be a great outcome for the Jets, though the market value of Wilkerson just took a big hit. On to the Bears…hopefully White. ---

I’ve never been much of a proponent of BPA over need. If you don’t need the guy, why get him? Although this says a lot about Wilkersons fate huh? ---

In the very early stages of the 1st Round, you’re looking for stars, and you shouldn’t pass up on a guy that you think is a future star because you “don;t need” him. ---

Do the 49ers want DeVante Parker? He’s getting within range. He tops my WR list. Is he worth an extra pick or two? Maybe. I like a bunch of CBs, too, and we could use a shutdown corner. ---

I’m on [NFL.com](http://NFL.com) online-only feed. It kinda sucks, but it works. Anybody have a clandestine site that could provide credentials to watch TV feeds without cable service? ---

Especially when ESPN kept having so many ‘watch this prospect talk about his hobbies while we don’t discuss anything about the last five picks except their names’. ---

Whew, glad that went that way. Didn’t want any surprises here. **7th Pick - Kevin White - Chicago Bears** Very. very happy with this pick. We needed a speed guy opposite Jeffery and he’s probably even more dynamic than Marshall. If he can get open and play as strong he’ll be a incredible pick. Guess we’re going with Cutler for another year and Bennett, Jeffery, Royal and White looks pretty good on paper. ---

I like Eisen and Mayock is mostly tolerable. Can’t tolerate Berman and Gruden any more even though I miss out on McShay and Kiper who I still kinda dig. I’ll probably go to ESPN for days 2 and 3. ---

Just heard that 49ers owner Jed York’s Twitter posted a cryptic indication of a trade possibility. An extra 3rd Rounder would get them into the Vikings’ spot. ---

**8th Pick - Vic Beasley - Atlanta Falcons** Weird that the NFL mostly seems to entirely agree with my sentiments on the top 8 players. No real surprises. Beasley is a great match for need/value for the Falcons. They desperately need pass rush and I love Beasley’s strength/speed/quickness combo. Some might prefer Gregory with his hand in the dirt, but no complaints on this one from me. ---
