LIVE BLOGGING THE SECOND ROUND OF THE 2010 NFL DRAFT

8:24
Moving over to the Twitter account (@titraffic). See you there.

8:14
Is there a QB in this draft that this panel DOESN'T love? McCoy is a dink and dunk passer who is undersized and reaped rewards from great tools around him.

8:09
First real "What?" pick of the draft for the Browns. This is where Mangini's blinders come into play; he needs a WR, but he takes another RB for a team that probably is stocked as they could be at the position. There's a different between personality and schtick.

8:04
The hell is wrong with everyone, letting Houston cruise to Ben Tate this late in the draft? That offense is going to circle the globe in yardage. No holes at the skill spots, and the line is getting better.

7:46
The thing nobody seems to realize is that last year's Pats would have been legit with a more talented defense...AND THEY'RE GOING ALL DEFENSE SO FAR. Cunningham is a little light on his tackles, but he's fast, and he's smart. Ugh, I hate that team.

7:36
THAT, my friends, is how you replace Chester Taylor. Gerhart is going to take a lot of hits off of AP. Still, the man could button a button or two on his flannel shirt.

7:25
I AM LOVING THE 49ERS DRAFT. Seriously, FTW and their "you need a mediocre QB to replace your solid game manager QB".

7:20
And Clausen finally is off the board to the Panthers. Great move, John Fox, getting a project you don't have time to develop when you have a quarterback who has ALREADY SHOWN YOU HE CAN WIN GAMES. Stupid, stupid, stupid. PS, what is the over/under for months prior to Clausen getting decked by Steve Smith?

7:06

Seriously, two well thought out, not too flashy defensive picks in a row for the Raiders? Is Al Davis dead and nobody told us?

7:04
A black preacher just announced that Sergio Kindle is now a Raven. I mean, at what point do the Ravens figure they'll need a guy who can run down the field on offense?

6:59
Because these guys were SO excited for this on ESPN...ON TO THE DEUCE!

6:50
Holmgren has been convinced by Mangini's success with personnel up to this point. Problem is that it only applies to defense. If he gets Revis, he should also answer for Kellen Clemens.


6:47
When did the NFL draft go all gimmicky SNL episode with the cameos? Is Joe Namath backstage? They probably want to get him out here before he vomits or inappropriately grabs an intern.

6:44
Also, the way Mel is talking someone should have Clausen on suicide watch.


6:43
If you take Benn with a second round pick, you're basically drafting a big, fast body, because nothing about his career in Illinois was that impressive. Not that Juice Williams wasn't to blame for that, but still. At least you get a very athletic pass attack in Tampa Bay (Winslow, Clayton, and now Benn).

6:39
I'll say this for the Browns: They are absolutely committed to building this team in Mangini's vision. Two defensive backfield picks. I'm intrigued that they didn't go with Mays though. Considering they took Haden over Wilson, you would think they were ready to go all SPEED KILLS on defense.

6:33
Dexter McCluster makes that Chiefs backfield speedy as all hell, but I don't see why you need him when you've already got Jamaal Charles and you still need a WR. Wouldn't be a Pioli pick if it made sense immediately, though.

6:26
"Matt Cassel never played at USC" is Gruden's excuse?!?!? Please never let this man coach in the NFL again. Chris Simms is STILL ruined because of this bowl haircut loser.

6:25
Why on earth would Scott Pioli, the Stringer Bell of GMs, take Clausen and give up on Cassel after just one year? Dude had NO protection or defensive support. I somehow doubt Pioli is running scared.

6:22
Mel is not a dude who understands the value of investing HEAVILY at positions of need. Listen, Mel, unless Golden Tate can stop the run, the Bucs don't need him right now.

6:11
You know what? I love that Rams pick. Taking a tackle there to complement last year's tackle, and this year's new QB is the way a 1-15 team picks up 5-6 new wins in one year. Love the focused revitalization.

6:06
Kiper is STILL going on about how teams blew it by not taking Clausen. Mel, you're supposed to see a doctor for erections that last this long.

6:02
Roger Goodell showed up for this? Good to know I'm not the only one with nothing better to do.

5:55

Okay, let's paint, exercise, and do better this time.
