THE 2010 NFL DRAFT 1ST-ROUND LIVE BLOG
By TheDarkHorse
The hour is now. The future of the league is being shaped this evening as the 2010 NFL Draft gets underway in New York, New York. (Source: AP)
If you’re an NFL fan… today is Christmas Day.
Beginning with the Rams first-round selection at 7:32 p.m. EST, we’ll be following the entire first round, pick by pick.
READ AND REACT IS IN THE HOUSE. ArtieFufkin will track ESPN’s coverage of the event. TheDarkHorse will follow the draft on the NFL Network. (We may even see cameos from steverodgers and C-O-U-R-T-N-E-Y!)
We’ll be trash talking, assessing the action, and also taking a look at tomorrow’s 2nd and 3rd rounds–where, in a deep draft like this one, there will be tremendous competition between the teams to get “their guys.”
There’s a sense around the league that this could be a wild night–we’ll be commenting on the action as it happens, and look forward to chatting with you. Click the comments section to join in the action.
on ESPN, Michael Smith says its between Haden and Wilson too
Dez Bryant! Did Dez Bryant just get picked by Cleveland? He’s shaking hands with people! Is it a trade?
Haden is now on the phone crying …
I feel like the green room cam ruins the suspense of getting the picks announced.
Browns take Haden. I like it.
Haden Highlights:
Raiders on the clock – Jason Pierre-Paul here? He’s a classic Raiders pick … all athlete, little experience.

I agree with you. But they really need OL. That said, this is Al Davis. He might take a WR we’ve never heard of.
OH MAN THEY JUST TOOK MCLAIN!!!!
MCLAIN IS GONE!
HOLY SHIT!
Nobody saw this coming. NOBODY.
This draft is moving FAST.
Al Davis you crazy old sonofabitch … here are McClain highlights:
And now the Bills take Spiller!!!! WOW …
BILLS – SPILLER!
Maybe the QBs will sit around for a while?
This is great raucous drama!
CJ Spiller is going to be a badass.
Jags with the first bona fide reach of the draft with Alualu at #9
NFL Network LOVE THIS GUY. Who knows…
THE NINERS HAVE TRADED WITH Denver. THEY WILL TAKE CLAUSEN!!!
MY MOCK IS STARTING TO MAKE SENSE!!!
OR…. not…. they may be taking an OT or someone else.
Denver on the clock … there’s a trade!!!
Someone correctly asked if Al Davis is wintering in Jacksonville.
Wow. Still three QBs on the board.
SD moving up… for a RB?
SD takes Ryan Matthews!!!
Things are getting wild now … the Eagles trade up (with Denver again). Probably for Earl Thomas
My “Philly jumps up for Earl Thomas” and “multi-trade first-round” mock is starting to pan our, but only very generally.
Things are crazy!
Eagles move up 10 spots for Brandon Graham? OK.
With the way this is playing out, I’m kind of hoping the Giants trade down.
I think it proves the point that after the first 10 or so players — the draft boards of teams will vary WIDELY, and we’ll be stunned tonight, based only b/c of the media boards we’ve seen. The guys, so far, who even succeed in the NFL, may stun us… so many of these big names will bust. We just gotta’ sit back now…
BIG BLUE ON THE CLOCK!!!
Seahawks have done a decent job with two picks.
Dan Williams, Derrick Morgan, Jason Pierre-Paul all available … I think the value on Morgan is there for the Giants, but it’s obviously not a huge position of need. Williams could be the pick.
Trade down.
Earl Thomas Highlights (apparently all of these are set to hip-hop):
ProFootballTalk: Rumors fly that Broncos are getting into position to pick Tebow
Josh McDaniels is proving to be the wild card in this draft
And ESPN goes to break with the Giants on the clock. Shocking.
Same with NFL Network.
Maybe that means they spend time on them AFTER the pick.
In general, this draft is moving… but now it may slow.
My vote if the Giants don’t trade down: Dan Williams
Jason Pierre-Paul?!?!? Jeeez
Pierre Paul.
I like it. It can be GREAT. It can be a bust. But it could be MADHOUSE.
They’re just showing a video where Pierre-Paul did like 22 backflips in a row!!!!!! I love him!!!!! Go Giants!
It’s clearly a BPA pick according to the Giants board. And you’re right, he could end up being great, but I just don’t get it with so many other holes to fill.
Does this mean Osi could be trade bait now?
Backflip Video … Paul-Pierre goes first. Cleary he’s a freakish athlete:
I think the writing may be on the wall for Osi. I hate when a draft pick simply fills the space of a lost player… they can keep both for a year, but you may be right. Schefter just said the same. I think you’ve got a special player (potentially).
It’s like he’s Inspector Gadget… but can he stop the run?
So… we have Colt McCoy, Tebow, and Clausen still around. Do the Steelers want a QB?
The Niners have drafted 1/2 and offensive line!
You can plug Iupati in for the next 10 years with the 49ers. Singletary knows how to build a football team.
Do you really think the Broncos take Tebow before Clausen AND McCoy?
