Chicago needs some more offensive weapons, and it comes down to a pair of tight ends -- Leonard Pope of Georgia and Dominique Byrd of USC. With his size and his impressive showing at the combine, Pope jumps ahead of Byrd and is taken by the Bears with the 26th pick. Next up, the Carolina Panthers.

Panthers try to get some pressure off Steve Smith - Select: Marcedes Lewis - TE- UCLA

[ThePundit]

The Jags select - Brian Calhoun - RB Wisconsin...Okay, I'll stop hogging the board for a while

[MattJA]

Denver rushes up to select Maurice Clarret...then realize he is not in this year...they regain sanity and take Derek Hagan.

[Gotham Dark Knight]

With the 30th pick in the draft the Colts take...Clemson's QB,Charlie Whitehurst...


Whitehurst is promptly tagged with the nickname, "The Understudy"...

With the 31st Pick of the Draft, Seattle regrets letting Jerry Rice go to "Dancing with the Stars" ...and decides to take a receiver....hopeful that Alexander will never leave...Willie Reid, Florida State, WR

[Lefty Noob]

With pick No. 32, the final one of the first round, the Pittsburgh Steelers are thrilled to find DeMeco Ryans, OLB, Alabama still on the board. The guy was fantastic at college, slipped due to an unspectacular combine, and will give the Super Bowl champs some depth at the LB position.

Do you guys want to do a 2nd round or should we stick a fork in this thread?

[ThePundit]

Go for it Wedge - I have to hand it to you. This was a great idea.

[EmpireWF]

We definitely gotta do a 2nd round. Ofcourse, there were some reaches in the 1st but every pro draft is unpredictable.

[Lefty Noob]

Oh yeah, definitely go for Round #2. So, who's on the clock?

Lefty: Bob Glauber of Newsday has something to say about your 20th pick to KC.

"There's some concern about Boston College defensive end Mathias Kiwanuka, who is 6-7 but weighs only about 261 pounds. One scout told me he thought that was unusually light, and the fact he did only 17 reps of 225 pounds was disconcerting, especially because he's a likely first-round pick"

Didn't you go the combine?
