The Bears are on the clock then at pick 54.
Not sure if he sent massraider his picks or not.

He was the last "borderline 1st-rounder" left on my board (based on talent, not on need). There are a handful of other guys who might go on Thursday based on positional scarcity, but I'm not sure any of them deserve the label.

2.54 The Cincinnati Bengals select Deion Jones, LB, LSU
I was very disappointed to see Shepherd and Boyd go off the board just before my pick. That said, I'm excited to add an ascending, elite talent like Jones to this LB corp considering the age and insanity of the current group. Build the defense.
1.24 Vernon Butler, DT

Cool. I might be interested in that. I need to get through this pick first though! One more potential guy gone. :(
Very surprising with the WR talent on the board at both picks that were rated as high as the defensive picks.

I think there is a LOT of WR talent available in rounds 3+.
Surprised on the LBs, 3 really solid guys (not including Jones just taken) sitting around. Also, really surprised Henry/Cook/Thomas are still available. I don't think those three last this long (one or more will slip into the 3rd here) in the real draft.
There will be especially now. I'd have to go back (and I did) and I see 3 WRs picked in round 2 of your mock that may slip to round 3. One of them was pick 32.

I wouldn't be surprised if there was very few WRs taken in the 3rd after a run in the 2nd, and then another run on WR in the 4th. A lot of defensive talent could fall to the 3rd, and the 2nd and 3rd is where I see a lot of O-linemen and QBs taken, which could push other players..

Packers select after Seahawks.

Good pick Saber.
Now I finally have a reason to not like Booker.

What happened to the Seahawks pick?

Lacy looked like crap last season, they have Starks who is what he is. They showed last season that they simply could not do enough on offense. I wanted a WR but in all honesty it's BPA for me.

Yep, hold that thought, Saber!
If Seattle takes someone else, I will process that pick. Feel free to delete. Waiting on Spider321.
I like it. Even with Lacy on the P90X or whatever it is called, that doesn't mean it will translate into a better RB. Honestly, a small Lacy isn't the guy we loved before last year. He doesn't need to be Nate Newton's size, but he isn't a spark plug type of RB, so I am not sure if his new body type means he will be a better RB.

Spider has been complaining the entire draft about lack of pace and then he promptly gets skipped. Love it.

Want to but can't. Pats have needs everywhere and I'll be neglecting some of them since they only have 4 picks before the 6th.
Have the depth now to not go rb or wr but there is too much talent left to kick the can.
I feel more comfortable not taking Scooby in the 2nd now that there is only a couple LBs off the board and I've been seeing him rated outside the top 100. Cravens was the guy I wanted but it's not looking like he will make it to the 60 ever.

With the 58th overall pick, the Steelers select: Michael Thomas, WR, Ohio St.
He was the BPA that wasn't a CB since we went CB in the first. Pundits are all over the place on him, either he's amazing and pro-ready, or he's vastly overrated, not much middle ground. Well after watching some of his tape (not highlight reels) I think that he was definitely underutilized at O St. and could transition to be a great NFL player.
The Steelers don't have a definite need at WR at the moment, but this is where their forward thinking pays off. It takes a while for a WR to get up to speed and build a rapport with Big Ben. Next season if Bryant screws up again, we could be left with Antonio Brown, Sammie Coates, and Darius HeyBey-Bey. Coates is still unproven, and HeyBey-Bey likes to drop passes.
While he still needs to work on his hands and catching the ball away from his body, his measureables are where he is often dinged by "sources." I'm not sure why that is since he has similar results to Hopkins and Antonio Brown...
1.25 - William Jackson III, CB, Houston
2.58 - Michael Thomas, WR, Ohio St.

There are a lot of LBs left I thought might be gone, so I agree on Scooby. He's actually 127 on a list I grabbed to have a draft list (it makes it easier to know who the heck is gone and still around).
Just looked at Andy's and it looks like there was more of a LB run in the early 3rd with the same set of guys that are ranked as 2nd rounders but fell here as well. LBs tend to not be a glamorous, like Cs and Gs.
I like the pick. Gotta go BPA. As you said, one bad test and all of a sudden that positional strength becomes a weakness behind Brown. Wheaton isn't special, so if Bryant is out, which is a distinct possibility, Brown is all alone.

Did he write the pick in invisible ink? I don't know who he took. Could someone update the board? I'm filling in for Soufly and am trying to get caught up on who is available.
Here are the picks from the middle of the second round for quick reference of recent selections.

He took booker. But he skipped SEA, so deleted it, so Spider321 wouldn't snake his pick.
1st post up to date.
Pwingles has been PM'd. Run It Up on deck for two picks.

As in - both his picks were very good. I think.

Correct. They are picks that fit the team very well and while may not match others' rankings, they are players I think are very underrated and would make a very good defense nasty.
Is he going to be gone for a while? Run It Up, Andy and I are here, so we could bust through the 4 after that and get to the 3rd.
ETA: Based on Chief needs (S and ILB) and BPA (both top 5 available in my list), I would nominate Kentrell Brothers ILB or TJ Green FS (Berry is SS). Looks like Chiefs lost both Abdullah and Branch at S, so I think TJ Green is probably the better pick.

Chiefs are also losing a DE and could lose NT next year if Poe leaves.
Could also use Cook...
Could also use Cook...
I don't see DEs as being BPAs now, but Austin Johnson is top 5 BPA (CBS list) at DT and Cook is actually the top guy outside of Henry in terms of BPA.
If they are looking heavily for a young QB, then Cook would be the best pick and a very nice value at the end of the 2nd, I just don't know enough about the Chiefs.

Thanks man, in the last one drafting for the Giants I had a Giants fan hoping I was Jerry Reese when I netted them a haul by trading down a couple times.
I like to wheel and deal but Cin tends to stay pat and let the draft come to them so I wanted to try to see what happened doing it that way. Can't say I'm disappointed.

Trade processed.
Pwingles was filling in, so we will move on. I love the Cook idea.
