11:03 p.m. -- New Orleans Saints, CB Patrick Robinson, Florida State
-- I'm going to drive home and then type up a "best available" post. This is going to be amazing. I now LOVE the new draft set-up.

10:59 p.m. -- I half-expect to see NBA-style deals tonight, with re-evaluations making teams re-value guys they wanted who were already picked.

10:55 p.m. -- No. 31 Indianapolis Colts, OLB Jerry Hughes, Texas Christian
-- Bob is displeased. Indy needed a lineman and I thought they could go quarterback, but the Colts now have some depth if Dwight Freeney's injury is worse than thought. This is setting up to be an incredble overnight as both McCoy and Clausen will be available, as will Charles Brown and Mount Cody. I expect the Saints to go with Taylor Mays to fill the Darren Sharper void, unless they trade out.

10:46 p.m. -- No. 30 Detroit Lions, RB Jahvid Best, Cal
-- Best is an unruly freak. Played with Reggie Bush-ish dominance at Cal before getting hurt on that disgusting flip into the air when he went 345 feet into the air. Love this pick for Detroit.

10:45 p.m. -- And they do... Vikings go to second pick of second round. Their quarterback will likely be there.

10:42 p.m. -- With the whole day to debate the second round's beginning, expect all these picks to take the full 10 minutes. Even if the Vikings love Clausen or McCoy, they have to be salivating at the idea of moving out.

10:38 p.m. No. 29 New York Jets, CB Kyle Wilson, Boise State
-- The Jets wants to have the deepest secondaries in the NFL, not even taking into account Antonio Cromartie's many soon-to-be draft eligible children.

10:30 p.m. No. 28 Miami Dolphins, DT Jared Odrick, Penn State
-- Odrick, like many NFLers, is built like a house. With Paul Solial as their current NT, they really needed a monster DT unless they plan on playing the 3-4 the Bills want to play, where Kyle Williams can play the base NT and an OLB slides on a given side depending on the match-up. Weird.

10:23 p.m. -- No. 27 New England Patriots, CB Devin McCourty, Rutgers
-- It would be dishonest for me to tell you I know anything of value about Devin McCourty. Here's something: he could be Irish.


10:13 p.m. -- No. 26 Arizona Cardinals, NT Dan Williams, Tennessee
-- Two straight picks that the Bills were rumoured to be interested in at No. 9. Gotta be a bummer for Buddy Nix and company.

10:07 p.m. THE EARTH SHOOK. Just kidding, but Tim Tebow is selected.

No. 25 Denver Broncos, QB Tim Tebow, Florida
-- Kinda wished it happened in Buffalo just because I believe he will put it together as a quarterback. The under-center and throwing motion garbage is trying way too hard. That said, Colt McCoy is still available.

9:58 p.m. -- The Patriots deal their pick to the Cowboys. How is it that the ex-Pats-ish teams are the only ones smart enough to keep trading down?

No. 24 Dallas Cowboys, WR Dez Bryant, Oklahoma State
-- That's exactly what I thought.

9:52 p.m. No. 23 Green Bay Packers, OT Bryan Bulaga, Iowa
-- Our collective hands slap our foreheads as OURLADS' No. 2-rated tackle goes to the Packers. This is a very surprising drop indeed.


9:46 p.m. No. 22 Denver Broncos, WR Demaryius Thomas, Georgia Tech
-- Thomas' parents couldn't decide between the Y and the I, so they went with both.

9:41 p.m. -- No. 21 Cincinnati Bengals, TE Jermaine Gresham, Oklahoma
9:40 p.m. -- No. 20 Houston Texans, CB Kareem Jackson, Alabama
-- I can't tell you all that much about Jackson other than he played on a ridiculously good defense, but Gresham is a potential monster for Carson Palmer. Last year, Gresham would've gone ahead of Brandon Pettigrew, but came back only to be injured. This makes an absurd amount of Sooners taken soon...er than some thought.

9:31 p.m. -- No. 19 Atlanta Falcons, OLB Sean Witherspoon, Missouri
-- Brad is ecstatic after seeing Witherspoon torture UB at Mizzou a couple years back. The Falcons were yearning for LB help so good for them.


No. 18 Pittsburgh Steelers, C Maurkice Pouncey, Florida
-- Supposedly the fans chanted, "She said no." I love the fans right now.

No. 17 San Francisco 49ers, OG Mike Iupati, Idaho
--Two picks that don't hurt the Bills. In fact, I'm extremely surprised Clausen didn't go here.

9:21 p.m. -- No. 16 Tennessee Titans, DE/OLB Derrick Morgan, Georgia Tech
-- There goes that theory. Cue some video of him dancing like an idiot. Solid, solid pick-up for Jeff Fisher.


9:15 p.m. -- No. 15 New York Giants, DE/OLB Jason Pierre-Paul
-- If Derrick Morgan continues to drop, the Buffalo Bills could very well jump up to grab him. Chan Gailey recruited him to Georgia Tech, and he fits what the Bills need.

9:11 p.m. -- OURLADS on Spiller: "A bolt of lightning type runner that is a threat to score as a receiver, ball carrier and return specialist." Hmmm, that sounds good. I'll have that. A BOLT OF LIGHTNING type? According to Wikipedia, there are six main types of lightning: bead, staccato, forked, ribbon, heat and sheet. We think he's staccato lightning.


9:04 p.m. -- No. 14 Seattle Seahawks, S Earl Thomas, Texas
-- Quite a drop from where he could've gone. CRY, EARL THOMAS, CRY.

9:01 p.m. -- The reason the 49ers took Davis instead of Jimmy Clausen is likely because no one needs a quarterback between their two picks, while Davis would've certainly been selected by someone in the interim.

8:57 p.m. -- No. 13 Philadelphia Eagles, Brandon Graham OLB/DE, Michigan
-- Granted I'm a Michigan guy, but I love Graham. A combination of instinct, smarts, speed and skill, any team would be blessed to wind up with him commanding either side of their defense. Nice pick.

8:53 p.m. -- Denver trades down again. Stockpiling picks in a pretty solid move here.

8:50 p.m. -- No. 12 San Diego Chargers, RB Ryan Mathews, Fresno State
-- Mathews scored a lot of touchdowns.

8:45 p.m. -- No. 11 San Francisco 49ers, OT Anthony Davis, Rutgers
-- He's lazy. I'm glad he's not a Bill. The 49ers traded a fourth-round pick to get this pick from Denver. Now at 12, San Diego has traded with Miami to slide into the next position.

8:43 p.m. -- Sixteen minutes later, I'm totally on-board with the Spiller pick. He probably is the best all-around talent in the draft. YES, you can get good running backs at the Buz'n'Bee in South Buffalo, but I'm going to go on record as saying this pick works for me.


8:33 p.m. -- No. 10 Jacksonville Jaguars, DT Tyson Alualu, Cal
-- I'm feeling even better about the Spiller pick now.

8:31 p.m. -- No. 9 BUFFALO BILLS, RB C.J. SPILLER, Clemson
-- He's an incredible running back, but is this what they need? He's 5'11" and definitely better than the simple "waterbug" Chan Gailey said he needed. He can be LaDanian Tomlinson. Seriously. Let's hope they have a plan to get him some blocking and a quarterback.


8:29 p.m. -- No. 8 Oakland Raiders, OLB Rolando McClain, Alabama
--And a double whammy... Adam Schefter said C.J. Spiller is the pick for the Bills. Whammmmmmy.

8:27 p.m. -- After all is said and done, I wouldn't be surprised to hear the Steelers had dealt Ben Roethlisberger to get into this spot.

8:26 p.m. No. 8 Oakland Raiders, DRUG Cocaine, Colombia


8:23 p.m. No. 7 Cleveland Browns, CB Joe Haden, Florida
-- More tears. It makes me kinda wish he was crying because he had his heart set on Cleveland and they called to say they just killed his cat.

8:06 p.m. -- No. 6 Seattle Seahawks, OT Russell Okung, Oklahoma State
8:03 p.m. -- No. 5 Kansas City Chiefs, S Eric Berry, Tennessee
-- As Brad just said, not a single pick has gone down that will change the Bills idea of what they'll do at No. 9. Okung is a solid selection and Berry is the hard-hitting speed freak who knocked out Tim Tebow. Now here's Cleveland who loves Colt McCoy. This is where things get very intriguing.

7:59 p.m. -- No. 4 Washington Redskins, OT Trent Williams, Oklahoma
-- I thought Okung was the play here, but Williams should do just fine. Tackles named Williams tend to work out at No. 4. Whoops. By the way, Trent Williams... call J.P. Dockery for me to complete an odd pairing.

7:53 p.m. -- What will Washington do? Well, their line is absolutely awful and they have their pick of the OT litter. Book it. It's over-thinking if they don't go Russell Okung, but almost everyone thinks Trent Williams will go to D.C.


7:51 p.m. -- No. 3 Tampa Bay Buccaneers - DT Gerald McCoy, Oklahoma
-- Don't cry, large young man... you're rich now.


7:44 p.m. -- No. 2 Detroit Lions - DT Ndamukong Suh, Nebraska
-- Aaaaaaand that's the last time I have to use CTRL-V to paste the name "Ndamukong."

7:40 p.m. -- The Lions are currently starting Ko Simpson at safety, so it makes sense to me that Detroit might want to see what they can get for Ndamukong Suh, and drop a few slots to pick up Earl Thomas or Eric Berry. I know they play free safety, but move Louis Delmas over if you want.

7:37 p.m. -- PICK -- No. 1, St. Louis Rams, QB Sam Bradford, Oklahoma
-- As I've said, he's really good at throwing a football and can heave it far when he has to. Great arm and smart kid. His only issue in my mind is his back-to-back injuries. A risk worth taking.

7:20 p.m. -- Among this red carpet B.S. is our conversation about a potential rookie salary cap coming in 2010. So... you'd have to REALLY believe in a QB at No. 9 overall, because there's a strong possibility that next year you could pay a whole lot less for your "next franchise quarterback."

7:09 p.m. -- Aaaaaaaand we're on the air on WECK 1230AM and streaming online at http://www.weck1230.com . Get me on Twitter at http://www.twitter.com/NicholasMendola, or email nickonweck@gmail.com

7:01 p.m. -- Remember how Ndamukong Suh was the best prospect in the last 30 years? That sentiment is less than 100 days old and he won't go first. So.... 30 years, huh?

6:50 p.m. -- This draft has no "gotta get him" player for me, especially in the first round. By nature, I love freaky-nasty (not Freaknasty, I think that was a pop group) linebackers, so I would be pleased with Alabama linebacker Rolando McClain at No. 9 overall. Yet I'd be pleased in just about any scenario.

A) Trade up. Take Sam Bradford. He's good at football. I promise.
2) Trade down. Get another second round pick and get more prospectively good football players because you don't have a ton of them.
D) Take someone you believe.

It's Buddy Nix and Chan Gailey. There is no legitimate reason to doubt them at either GM or head coach because neither guy has truly failed in that position. You can be cynical and dislike them because they're old, but then karma will put you in a bad nursing home one day.

Beginning around 6:30 p.m., I'll be blogging it up pick-by-pick while on-air with Brad Riter, Scott Wilson and Bob Gaughan on WECK 1230 AM. Can I multi-task despite a decades-old case of ADHD? Listen longer and find out!
