Live Blog Day 1, Round 2: Yardbarker at the NFL Draft

Posted April 25, 2009 on nfldraft's Blog:
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.

Comments 1-50 (of 54):
  • #33 Louis Delmas, Detroit Lions.
    #34 Patrick Chung, New England Patriots

  • #36 Brian Robiskie, Cleveland Browns. Hometown guy.

  • #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?

    by nfldraft   April 25, 2009   Reply   Options  
  • #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.

  • #39 Eben Britton, Jacksonville Jaguars. "Needs more Sand in Pants." Seriously. I was thinking the same thing.

  • 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.

  • #42 Jairus Byrd, Buffalo Bills. I know a lot about him. I've definitely heard of him before. I just don't feel like sharing. Promise.

  • #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.

  • #44 Pat White, Miami Dolphins. Good chance the Dolphins become the first NFL team to run the A-11 formation.

  • #45 Clint Sintim, New York Giants. His highlight film was terrible, it was like the Freddy Got Fingered of highlight reels.
    by Harvey_Bars   April 25, 2009   Reply   Options  
  • #46 Connor Barwin, Houston Texans. Sucks to be the first guy chosen during a commercial break. Unless of course its a Japanese commecial featuring Nick Cage.

  • #47 Michael Mitchell, Oakland Raiders. Just the guy Raiders fans were dreaming of.

  • #48 Darcel McBath, Denver Broncos. Ummm...let's just both agree I'm not your only source for info on Darcel McBath and move on.

  • #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.

  • 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.

  • They're saying it's a trade. Maybe. Actually, no one knows what just happened.

  • #50 Mohamed Massaquoi, Cleveland Browns.

  • #51 Andy Levitre, Buffalo Bills. The Cowboys didn't pass, but traded away the pick to Cleveland.

  • #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.

  • Shady McCoy is is just an absolutely phenomenal moniker.

  • #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.

  • #56 Fili Moala, Indianapolis Colts. Colts find themselves a Fili. Ugh, I'm sorry. I'll go harm myself for that one.

  • 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.

  • #57 Paul Kruger, Baltimore Ravens. Shares a name with the 5th president of South Africa. I know I know, you've heard this all before.

  • African-American D-Ends have typically fared well in Baltimore.
    by nfldraft   April 25, 2009   Reply   Options  
  • Yes, but what about South African-Americans?
    by Harvey_Bars   April 25, 2009   Reply   Options  
  • 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.

  • #60 William Beatty, New York Giants. Even by normal NFL draft second round standards, this round is exceptionally dull.
    by Harvey_Bars   April 25, 2009   Reply   Options  
  • I thought it was just me. This draft is a snoozer compared to last year. Even the crowd seems bored.

  • #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.
