Also, here's the video of John Harbaugh watching Te'o run the 40 at the combine last month:

with the 32nd pick the Ravens select Manti Te'o

I could see the Ravens feeling the need for another "mascot" LB to fill the shoes of RayRay.

With the 31st pick of the Draft the San Francisco 49ers select... Matt Elam, Safety, Florida.

Tyler Eifert TE Notre Dame.

"And the crowd goes wild!!!"

A lot of evaluators

Gipper.. check those evaluations of Hunter after the combine. The second-round grade is only the case if you look at his performance during the beginning of the 2012 season. Hunter began to display the requisite explosiveness during the second half of the season - right around the 1yr+ mark after his ACL surgery. It's Hunter's rare combo of size [6'4, 200] and speed and agility and hands that puts him in the first round.

Makes you wonder what exactly was going on with UT the past couple years that they had Bray / Patterson / Hunter and did nothing.

Note that Woods/USC was a deep threat receiver before his ankle injury.. but both his combine and pro day workouts suggest that Woods' deep threat skills haven't returned. Hunter, however, did everything James Andrews told him to do.. and has made it back.

All the players I want are still on the board I might get my 1 and 2 picks regardless of where I am picking love it!

Are they still? You are up to bat.

Houston Texans

The Texans do have many holes, which is why they have been destroyed in the second round of the playoffs the past couple of years.

One of those key holes is LB.. Brian Cushing was knocked out with a torn ACL, Barwin left in free agency, and the other ILB spot next to Cushing was never any good. Whitney Mercilus is a league-average player.

The other key need is WR.. Other than Andre Johnson, the Texans have had the Bill Simmons puu-puu platter of WR's since they came in the league. Also, it's not exactly a secret that the Texans offense broke down last year when Johnson was doubled because nobody else on the roster had the quickness to get open.

The Texans end that strategy by selecting Justin Hunter, WR, Tennessee. After running the 40 in 4.44 seconds at the combine, scouts believe he's fully recovered from his ACL injury. He has the size and hands to work in the short to intermediate part of the field and the speed to get vertical.. more so than DeAndre Hopkins, the other option at this slot.

Interesting. A lot of evaluators put him as an end of the second round type talent. We'll see how it goes in the real draft.

On the clock: Represent for the Falcons

With the 26th pick, the Green Bay Packers select, Johnathan Hankins DT, Ohio St.

Following him for the rest of the First Round are:

Unsympathetic for the Houston Texans

Blizz22 for the Denver Broncos

Canton Mike for the Patriots

Represent for the Atlanta Falcons

PoeticG for the 49ers

MLD Woody for the Ravens.

While there is no trading of picks, there has been some talk of trading slots. As far as I am concerned that is fine if you all work it out between you.

Also, I will start a new thread for the second round.

With the 25th pick in the 2013 NFL draft, the Minnesota Vikings select Sylvester Williams, DT, North Carolina.

The Vikings really needed a Wide Receiver. Then they traded Percy Harvin, so now they HAVE to have a wide receiver.

There's a good one on the board, so they are snatching him.

With the 23rd pick in the 2013 NFL draft, the Minnesota Vikings select Keenan Allen, WR, California.

Zombo Spielman, Minnesota Vikings GM

Good player. That puts the guy that started this whole thing: Cielo on the clock for the Colts

Don't know if I will be on later. If the kid doesn't get his pick in, St. Louis selects Eddie Lacy to replace Steven Jackson

It is now 9:00 AM, and the Cysko Kid again lost his slot, so I am accepting Comeonman's choice of Eddie Lacy.

That mean Zombo is on the clock for the Minnesota Vikings.
