Live Blog Day 1, Round 2: Yardbarker at the NFL Draft
PLAYERS: Brian Orakpo,  Rey Maualuga
Round one took a cool 3 hours and 35 minutes. The Yard got video with every greenroom guy except Brian Orakpo, but who cares about the Redskins anyway. We'll get that video up as soon as we can. Unfortunately the Internet here is slower than Rey Maualuga's 40 time.

Yardbarker's coverage of the 2009 NFL Draft. Continued.

    #37 Alphonso Smith, Denver Broncos. I have trouble deciding who I like better, Alphonso Smith or Alphonso Ribeiro. I think I like the latter better.

      Traded one of their first round picks next year to get Smith. So they essentially traded Jay Cutler for this guy.

    What are the odds this Louis Vuitton bag belongs to Mel Kiper and not Deion?

    #38. Rey Maualuga, Cincinnati Bengals. Finally. Maualuga falling this far is a testament to the power Erin Andrews has over the entire sports world.

    My favorite quote so far.

    St. Louis #2: Jason Smith on why he wanted to play for the Rams:

    "Obviously, they are the bottom."



    Perhaps I'm taking it out of context but I'm sure the Internets don't mind.

    When asked Michael Oher (Baltimore #23) was asked if he liked crab, a Maryland delicacy, he said, "Oh yeah, I love shrimp."

    #40 Ron Brace and # 41 Darius Butler, New England Patriots. Mike Mayock could replace Skip Bayless on First And 10 and the show wouldn't miss a beat.

    #43 Everette Brown, Carolina Panthers. Sadly for Brown, being selected 43rd means he probably won't get the kind of money he did at Florida State.

    #49 Max Unger Seattle Seahawks. Brian Billick says he's "Crusty." There's 2nd round crusty and 3rd round crusty. This appears to be 2nd round crusty.
  • nfldraft

    nfldraft said April 25, 2009

    The draft seems calmer than it was last year. There's maybe 70% of the media here and the fans aren't quite as drunk, I don't think. They love the fact that Dallas just missed its pick, though.

    #52 David Veikune, Cleveland Browns. Ikaika Alama-Francis of Hawaii went in round 2 back in 2007. Interesting that a school known only for offense has produced some high pick defensive talent over the last few years.

    #54 Phil Loadholt, Minnesota Vikings. Lots of "This guy is a load" comments. Phil probably thought that would stop after 2nd grade, but no such luck. The best part about this pick has to be the fact that it was introduced by a monster.com rep named Onyx.

    Overheard from a nearby scout re: Paul Kruger: "He was whooping Alabama's a$$ in that game."

    Too bad for Ravens fans he can't catch footballs.

        Yes, but what about South African-Americans?
        • nfldraft

          nfldraft replied April 25, 2009

          South Africa is in Africa so as far as I'm concerned, that's African-American. Semantics has no place in a live blog. Live blogs are for making fun of Al Davis and maybe other stuff too. Maybe.

    #58 Sebastian Vollmer, New England Patriots. "They call him Seabass. Don't ask me why." - Mike Mayock. Trust me, I won't. I'm pretty sure it's because his first name is Sebastian.

    #61 Sean Smith, Miami Dolphins. NFL.com draft analysis "Cocky and talks trash" which is fine except they could have just written "cornerback" instead

    Paul Kruger is probably the first draft pick in history to be both a Mormon and a stabbing victim. What kinds of situations do Mormons find themselves in where they get stabbed? In Utah?

      I imagine having 14 wives could create some animosity.

    Final pick of the day, folks, and his name's Dick Quinn. #64 so of course they're playing the Beatles. We'll be back tomorrow with all the press-conference video from day one.
