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.
It would be crazy, but With McDaniels, who knows?
Both Maurkice Pouncey to the Steelers at 18 and Sean Weatherspoon to the Falcons at 19 are great picks. Really like both players
Are the Broncos replacing an older 20-something WR headache with a younger 20-something WR headache?
Denver now on the clock!!! They traded with New England!!!
Broncos take WR Demaryius Thomas to replace Brandon Marshall
First WR taken tonight!

Packers pick a guy WHO FITS. Big, fat, bald dude who plays offensive line.
There’s something anti-climactic about this ending after round one … I mean, tomorrow night will be fun, but I feel like we’re just getting started here!
For what it’s worth …
Jerry Reese: “We’re not trading Osi. You don’t have to ask that question.”
Osi, Tuck, Kiwi, JPP … as long as we never have to stop the run, we’re in great shape!
I TOLD YOU THE COWBOYS WOULD STEAL DEZ BRYANT!!!!
DID I NAIL IT?
Cowboys trade up to get Dez Bryant
Perfect Jerrah pick
Dez Bryant highlights:
Am I a bad guy if I say that military on stage thing was gratuitous?
Why not wheel Dick Cheney out and thank him for Iraq?
TEBOW’S ON THE PHONE!
Crap – Tebow’s gone.
Cleveland always loses out to Denver.
Now I’m pissed. This is the guy I wanted.
I’m happy for Tebow. He’s a total class act. I hope he does well in the league… even if he’s on the Broncos.
2 words: Danny Wuerffel
Even if on the field… not in terms of the person in question. Tebow has been top-notch, despite getting harassed and doubted by the press.
Cardinals get GREAT value with Dan Williams at #26
We’ve been watching football since like 1986, and I feel like there have been 20 defensive lineman named DAN WILLIAMS. So boring. Am I wrong? Didn’t Cincy take some bust named DAN WILLIAMS?
I don’t hate Tebow … I just hate the fact that I’m going to have to listen to the Tebow hype here in Denver for at least the next 6 months (more if he ends up doing well)
But unless McDaniels is planning on running the wildcat, I just can’t see Tebow succeeding at QB in the NFL. It’ll be interesting to see how they try to use him.
Big Daddy Dan Wilkinson?
Maybe you’re thinking of Pete Williams of the Red Raiders
I don’t want to wait until tomorrow night for the 2nd round.
Defensive lineman are boring.
J-E-T-S JETS JETS JETS
CB Kyle Wilson
Kyle Wilson’s Pop Warner highlights:
Wake up NFL community: Eric Mangini drafted Darrelle Revis.
The ESPN telecast group — they seem lost and bitter. What’s up?
NFL Network is KILLING ESPN on scoops — Lions took the Vikes 30th pick.
They’ve taken Jahvid Best.
Is Berman drunk?
Berman and Tom Jackson need to step aside.
Berman is on painkillers, yes.
Best is a GREAT pick for Detroit. The Lions are having a great night with Suh and Best.
I gotta’ hit the street. Let’s post our thoughts tomorrow!
Best highlights:
Pete Prisco at Sportsline is absolutely killing the Tebow pick:
Broncos’ McDaniels can kiss job goodbye
Drew Brees (the Madden ’11 Cover boy) is announcing the Saints pick — the final pick in the first round.
Patrick Robinson, CB Florida St
