Right now, I am in New York with TheSportsGuru and Chris, covering the draft both at Stampede Blue and Mocking the Draft.
The Colts will not pick until much later today, and it will be their only pick today. The first day of the draft now only goes two rounds. As of now, Jake Long is the #1 pick and Chris Long is the #2 pick. rumors suggest New Orleans is trying to move up to get Glenn Dorsey. This is your open thread for the draft. This thread should AUTO-UPDATE with comments. Post your comments on picks here. I'll be posting updates from the draft here and on MOD.
UPDATE: I'm live at the ESPN Zone with Guru and Chris. Jacksonville just swung a trade to move up to #8, and Chris is freaking out! Fun times. More updates as they come.

They keep talking up all these trades
Ravens moving up to #2 to get Ryan. Or maybe the Falcons up to #2? I can’t see the Raiders going down, although the Saints really want Dorsey to stay in Louisiana.
I really want there to be a lot of trades, as the Colts obviously don’t pick for a long time. We need some excitement. Bring it to us!
beats the way the draft had been going
They had the top four picks “locked in” two hours before the draft

New Format
Amazing… 10 minutes is way better than 15.
I think the draft is going to start to get interesting now…
Boooo
Matt Ryan is a purer personification of the “clutch QB” stupidity than anyone. I can’t wait for him to fail.

Captain Intangibles
I love how Mayock completely dismissed his 19 INTs from this past season as “Trying to make plays”. It might just be he makes bad decisions.
They can't just compare him to Brady
They have to find an even more over the top way to verbally felate him and throw a Peyton comparison too.

Yea...
The Falcons better make some improvements in other areas or Matt Ryan is going to be the next David Carr.
Ryan
Funny article up on yahoo about how nobody wants to go to Oakland.

Baltimore fans
Are crying. Ravens very much wanted Matt Ryan.

Falcons saved them from themselves
None of the QBs are great this year. Brohm’s probably the best.

Oakland
The Raiders HAVE to take Dorsey. If they don’t, Al Davis’ idiocy reaches new levels.

Shit
I don’t get the draft live here in Brazil. Any good site to follow it pick by pick?
Walk on, walk on With hope in your heart And you'll never walk alone You'll never walk alone
Yeah
Gonna stay here, but I gotta follow it somewhere else too or I’ll be all the time asking “Are the Colts on the clock yet?”, and I’d probably get banned. :)

Carl Peterson
is a tool. He’s the anti-Polian. I hate what he has done to the Chiefs. It’s hard to get excited about the Chiefs having so many picks in this draft, knowing that he’s an idiot.
If
Glenn Dorsey isn’t the next selected, then I’ll quit trying to understand the draft.
Walk on, walk on With hope in your heart And you'll never walk alone You'll never walk alone
The Saints are offering the 10, their second round pick, and their first next year for Dorsey
The Chiefs are beyond dumb if they dont do that
Trading
“Hey, I’ll give you a bunch of future players so your team sucks again this year!” No thanks.
wow...
Chiefs must have really had Dorsey high to turn down that trade. I bet they trade up to get some OL help with all of their picks.
They could still move Dorsey
I’d bet they’re still taking calls from the Saints/Bengals

Pats on the clock
I just hate the 49ers…

Pats trade
Patriots made a trade with the Saints. Saints select Ellis.

WTF was the trade?
What did the Pats get?

NFLN
OK, I hate that the talking heads keep talking even though there is somebody at the podium announcing the trade details.
Audio
And what is wrong with the NFLN audio? Too bad this isn’t a multi-billion dollar industry or anything or that would look bad….what? it is? Oh.
Harvey
I don’t know, but I am sitting here wearing my brand new authentic Marvin Harrison jersey that my brother bought for me for my birthday (in 2 wks). Yeah! I can’t wait for August!
Mayock
His analysis and guesses are eerily spot on. He is either getting inside info before the pick is announced, or we should change his name to Warlock.
Mel Kipper
Gave the Jags a C. FEAR THE HARVEY!
Walk on, walk on With hope in your heart And you'll never walk alone You'll never walk alone
Chris of Jags blog
He is sitting with me. Asked for a one word reaction to the Jags trade, his response: “Guh?”
Ah those funny Jags fans.

CRAP
Mayo looks better than McKelvin and Cromartie. But picking Mayo isn’t too much of a reach?
Walk on, walk on With hope in your heart And you'll never walk alone You'll never walk alone
The Patriots just announced they'll be honoring the commisioner at halftime of their season opener
Those were some pretty loud boos directed at him. I didn’t know Jets fans hated Goodell so much.
Bills pick McKelvin
But who gives a crap about the Bills these days?
Walk on, walk on With hope in your heart And you'll never walk alone You'll never walk alone
Lions are on the clock
I think the pick is obvious…
Limas Sweed!
