I just read that this guy’s name means “Born on Sunday.” Awesome, awesome pro football player name.
The Titans are next and they trade their next pick to the Redskins for the Lincoln Memorial, and a monument to be named later.
The Titans select Dominque Franks, CB, Oklahoma.
He’s Lafallen enough.
Carolina Panthers select Brandon LaFell, WR, LSU.
Gary’s around, so he can pick the 49ers guy.
The 49ers select Greg Hardy, DE, Ole Miss
Very nervous about this pick, as Hardy may just be unrealized potential, but I don’t really see anybody besides him, Javier Arenas, and perhaps Reshad Jones that can give the 49ers a potential starter. Joe McKnight out of USC is intriguing as a change-of-pace back, but his punt-return abilities are rendered less useful with Ginn joining the roster.
Denver Broncos select Matt Tennant, C, Boston College.
Back to good gnus.
The Raiders, using a pick acquired from the Texans in a fake, SDMB-only trade involving Nnamdi Asomugha, select Reshad Jones, FS, Georgia.

Yes. In this draft so far, the Giants have gotten Taylor Mays, Adelius Thomas, and Chris Cooley and given up Kevin Boss.
Steelers take
Cam Thomas, DT - North Carolina
Atlanta Falcons select Torrell Troup, NT, Central Florida.
It’s Not Rocket Surgery is up for the Bengals pick . I have a proxy for the Browns, and then the Packers.
Cincinnati Bengals select Donald Butler, LB, Washington.
85 Cleveland Browns select Alex Carrington, DE, Arkansas State.
86 Green Bay Packers select Jason Worilds, OLB/DE, Virginia Tech
(I hate that pick for the Packers, but it’s supposedly good value at a position of need. I just think he won’t cut it in the NFL.)
The Eagles (Jules Andre) are on the clock, then the Cardinals. I’ll be off for the rest of the night, so if anyone wants to pick up the Cardinals, that’s fine. Grey Ghost sent me the proxies for the 'Boys. I can post those tomorrow early.
You left out the folks without 1st rounders like the Bears and Panthers.
The Eagles will select Dezmon Briscoe, WR, Kansas.
Well, then they’re not worth talking about. (Actually, I was in a hurry to leave and didn’t count.)
Panthers - 48 Lamar Houston, DT, Texas; 78 Brandon LaFell, WR, LSU
Bears - 75 Mike Johnson, OG, Alabama; earlier traded for Jay Cutler and a man who died an untimely death, RIP Gaines Adams
