Hearing second day coverage on the NFL Network

Draft React Ability


Five items of interest after tuning in and out of Day 1 of the NFL Draft ...

Mario Williams, Vince Young, Reggie Bush The Big Three

1. Houston fumbles the first pick. How you go with a defensive end at No. 1 overall when a guy like Bush is on the board is beyond me.

2. Leinart slides into the dream scenario. The predicted slide occurrs but ends with Phoenix where he'll stay in PAC-10 country, learn from Warner, throw to Boldin and Fitzgerald and handoff to Edge.

3. Washington loves the U. Washington 2nd-rounder Rocky McIntosh not only joins the Reggie Cleveland All-Stars but a squad featuring fellow 'Canes Taylor, Portis and Moss. These guys should totally record a song about runnin' trains. Too bad the 'Skins had to trade two 2nd-round picks and one late-round pick just to move up 18 spots to get him.

4. Chris Berman needs to take it down a notch. Aside from his grating personality, spoiling the picks before Tagliabue gets a chance to announce them is just inexcusable.

5. Tennessee gets some serious star power. Vince and LenDale with their top two picks means the star-craved Titans may have skill-position stars for the next 10 years.

Share your Draft reactions in the comments or call the SBL voicemail hotline at 1-866-382-7469 to leave a message for on-air playback on tomorrow night's show. Until then, here's to hoping Marcus Vick becomes this year's Mr. Irrelevant.

    what was with those creepy commercials with the top picks walking the platform? the MC -- the dude with the slicked back hair -- has already given me bad dreams. and he sorta looked like tino martinez.

    Lush, I thought Chicago was supposed to take the Leonard Pope at 26, instead they traded the pick to Buffalo. Which raises three questions:

    1. How'd Pope fall to the 3rd round (Arizona)?
    2. Why didn't NC State win the ACC Championship last season (three 1st rounders this year)?
    3. Did Chicago draft anyone for Orton to drink with?

    Why the Bears draft the way they do year in and year out is so beyond anything I can comprehend.
