UPDATED CONTINUOUSLY, April 28, 2007

A reader says that Browns fans have crashed the team's official web site.  We hope that the server doesn't end up with a staph infection.

Look like Dan Pompei was on the money with Alan Branch, who has gone from top five to out of round one.

A reader regarding Bill Belichick on ESPN:  "It's gotta be tough to fit a hoodie under that suit."

Cardinals take defensive tackle Alan Branch at No. 33.

Cards ended up on the clock after a trade with the Raiders.

Bills trade up with Lions, and take linebacker Paul Posluzsny.

There hadn't been much talk about Posluzsny in round one.  He was expected to go in the first round.

Bucs are on the clock at No. 35.

NEWS ALERT:  There are reports that the Raiders are talking only to the Packers about a trade of Randy Moss.

From a reader, regarding the Michigan defensive tackles who are together again in Arizona:  "I just saw some footage that had newly reunited Alan Branch and Gabe Watson lounging around lazily in a lake.  Then I realized I was on Discovery Channel and watching a documentary about hippos.  Oops."

Bucs at No. 35 select offensive lineman Arron Sears.

The Eagles are up next, with their first pick in the draft.

Jamie Dukes is back on. We actually kind of like the guy.  But there's enough material in that suit jacket he's wearing to clothe all of Somalia.

Best part of the ESPN coverage -- no Eyeball sightings.

Reader:  "I didn't understand what the cameraman on NFLN is doing in this Jamie Dukes e-mail segment, but I just realized that the camera is in his orbit." 

Eagles at No. 36 take quarterback Kevin Kolb.

Wow.  Third quarterback off the board is a guy that not many people were talking about.  (For a change, we were.)

Eagles are now protected for the next few years, when they'll have to make a Vick/Schaub choice.  They can trade Kolb if they want and get a bunch of picks, or they can bid adieu to Donovan.

But good luck convincing the Eagles fans (and Mama McNabb) of this.

Apparently, Chris Berman has said a bunch of times that Anthony Spencer went to Baylor.  He didn't.

Chargers at No. 37 take safety Eric Weddle of Utah.

Raiders on the clock.  They need a lineman.  Tony "Couldn't Fit in A" Ugoh?

We're getting reports of Eagles message boards crashing.

Chargers gave up a ton to get there.  More on that later.

Raiders at No. 38 take tight end Zach Miller of Arizona State. 

Falcons on the clock -- now if they take a quarterback it's time to be shocked.

There are actually death threats on Eagles message boards for Jeff Lurie, Tom Heckert, and Andy Reid.  (Hey, we didn't know that Donovan McNabb surfed the Intergoogle.)

The Eagles website has been crashed.

Falcons at No. 39 take offensive lineman Justin Blalock.

Fins are on the clock, and things are moving now.

Fins at No. 40 take . . . looks like John Beck.

Yes, Fins take Beck.  As we suggested earlier in the week, Kolb and Beck were taken before the presumptive next level of quarterbacks -- Trent Edwards and Drew Stanton.

Vikes on the clock.

Reader:  "The Falcons should have taken the Dog Whisperer."

Beck in Miami has the making of a sitcom; he's apparently a non-cussing, non-drinking Mormon, and some say that he comes off as "nerdy."  And he's heading for South Beach.

Falcons and Vikings trade.  Atlanta is on the clock at No. 41.

A reader wants to know if Beck's move to Miami counts as a "mission."

Is it just us, or has Marv Levy become one of those guys in the balcony from The Muppet Show?

Falcons take cornerback Chris Houston at No. 41.

The Bears should have been wearing ski masks when they traded with the Chargers in round two.  (Apparently, though, it checks out on the trade chart.)

Here's the reaction of the Eagles fans to the Kolb pick.  Then again . . . .

Colts are on the clock.

Colts select Tony Ugoh.

Looks like the Lions are taking Drew Stanton.

Drew Rosenhaus has had three guys drafted, and he has been on camera for each of them.

Vikes on the clock at No. 44.

Reader:  "Watching Berman is sad.  It's like Death of a Salesman.  He's not funny anymore, he has no insight."

Vikings select receiver Sidney Rice, South Carolina. 

Great pick by Minny, since their last receiver from the Gamecocks has turned out so well.  (Eye roll.  Fart.)

Panthers on the clock at No. 45.

We're hearing that Eagles QB Kevin Kolb has admitted on Philly radio that he grew up a Cowboys fan.

Panthers pick receiver "Wayne" Jarrett.  (As read by Gene Washington.)

That's three former USC receivers on the Panthers' roster.  Soon to be two.  (We're talking about you, Key.)

Keyshawn is talking about the selection of Jarrett, as if Keyshawn will still be on the team.

"This guy is gonna be great, he's just like me."

Hey check out this video of Brady and his lady -- she's already gotten her Ph. D. in Jean Strahan.

At No. 46, Steelers take . . . take . . .  Anyone know who they took?

Wait, Steelers take defensive end Lamarr Woodley, of Michigan.

Packers are on the clock.

WOW -- we have just smashed our all-time single-day traffic record.  And there's still more than four hours left in the day.

Another trade; Jets and Packers.

Holy crap:  Colts gave up a first-round in 2008 to move up for Ugoh, and a fourth-rounder.  Farewell, Tarik Glenn.

Jets select linebacker David Harris at No. 47.

Reader:  "When did Mike Tomlin get Seinfeld's puffy shirt?"

Adam Schefter of NFLN says that the Lions will trade Josh McCown after drafting Drew Stanton.

Jags are on the clock at No. 48.

Packers picked up a third-rounder as part of trade with Jets -- hello, Randy Moss.

Eagles fan:  "I am no longer interested in football for a while."

A reader asks:  "Did the Pats trade down in the hopes of getting Diet Pepsi machine?"

Reader:  "The Eagles' plan is to finally unite Donovan McNabb and the Eagles fanbase . . . by simultaneously screwing both of them."

Jags take linebacker Justin Durant, of Hampton.

Bengals are on the clock at No. 49.

Jessie Palmer was Jimmy Neutron hair.

Bengals take Eric Wright as a collective "f--k you" to the league and media?

Another Eagles fan on the Kolb pick:  "Apparently the Burger King was already off the board."

Reader:  "The Bengals will take Sideshow Bob from Springfield State.  They like his determination."

Bengals take Kenny Irons from Auburn, a running back. 

A reader predicts that, after a year in Cincy, Kenny's nickname will be "Leg."

NFLN coverage is much better than ESPN, although Meshawn is surprisingly good.

Titans select Chris Henry.  (Not that one.)

Since Henry is a running back, does this mean that Tennessee is out of the running for Michael Turner?

Elaine wants Chris Henry to change his name to Joel Rifkin.

Giants take receiver Steve Smith.

TRADE:  Lions trade quarterback Josh McCown and receiver Mike Williams to the Raiders.

Reader:  "How many draft picks did the Lions have to give the Raiders to take those two?"

Reader:  "Thank God for Rachel Nichols.  I can always tell if my TV's color balance is off just by checking to make sure that her hair is still that hellish red."

Rams take running back Brian Leonard at No. 52.

From the "Mama McNabb is Gonna Break Off Her Foot In Someone's Ass" file, Kevin Kolb's answer to the question of whether he's the team's quarterback of the future:  "Yeah, absolutely."

Best e-mail of the day, from one of our boys in uniform in Kuwait:  "I just want you to know how much the troops in the Middle East appreciate your blog man.  No TV available for me to watch the draft on and that Bristol website is taking a crap as per usual.  Thanks!"

Another trade -- Browns are on the clock.

Rams fan:  "Can Brian Leonard play cornerback, too?"

Browns pick at No. 53 -- Eric Wright, cornerback.  (Right state, wrong city.)

Cleveland gives up a lot to get Wright.

Reader:  "Ohio is going to have to raise taxes to pay for all the new cops they're going to need to protect their citizens from the Bengals and Browns."

Chiefs on the clock at No. 54. 

Why are the sock puppets acting like Eric Wright is the Son of Sam when the Brandon Meriweather stuff got the "boys will be boys" treatment?

Chiefs take defensive tackle Turk McBride.

Seahawks on the clock at No. 55.  All that coffee came in handy today as the 'Hawks make their first selection.

Seattle takes Maryland cornerback Josh Wilson.

The Broncos are on the clock. 

Lots of Ryan Kalil talk -- could be the next guy.

Broncos take defensive end Tim Crowder.

Eagles are on the clock. 

The NFLN guys are having a good laugh while talking about the fact that the Lions got nothing for Mike Williams.  Steve Mariucci, the coach of the Lions at the time, wasn't laughing.

Eagles take defensive end Victor Abiamiri at No. 57.

Adam Schefter confirms that the Pats are out of the running for receiver Randy Moss.

Mooch sounded for a second like he was impersonating Larry David as George Steinbrenner.

And that reminds us of something.  We've never written about the fact that Larry David has some sort of a pipeline to the Jets' front office.  Our guess?  He has recommended that they switch to cotton uniforms.

Says a reader regarding Norv Turner's interview on ESPN:  "The Bears will offer San Diego their 5th round pick back if Norv Turner clears his throat for crying out loud."

Pick No. 58 -- the Lions take defensive end Ikiaka Alama-Francis.  (A reader says, "Gesundheit.")

Jamie Dukes needs to switch to decaf after 5:00 p.m.

Panthers on the clock at No. 59.

Carolina takes center Ryan Kalil of USC.

Fins on the clock again at No. 60.

Jaws is properly skeptical about the reality of the selection of Kevin Kolb; Michael Smith says that Donovan McNabb initially expressed befuddlement but was fine after Andy Reid lied to him, I mean, told him that the move doesn't affect him.

A reader thinks that Andy Reid's moustache looks like a PS2 controller.

Fins take center Samson Satele.

There's a trade -- Lions trade up with Ravens.

Detroit takes safety Gerald Alexander of Boise State.

Marshall Faulk of NFLN thinks that Alexander will be moved to corner, and that he'd be perfect for it in the Tampa Two.

Bears are on the clock at No. 62.  Three more picks in round two.

Chicago takes Dan Bazuin, defensive end, Central Michigan.

Packers on the clock at No. 63.

Norv Turner on NFLN -- he still needs to clear his f--king throat.

Packers take running back Brandon Jackson from Nebraska.

Bucs on the clock for the last pick in round two.

A reader says that he has a curious urge to play Dance Dance Revolution whenever he sees Chris Berman's tie.

Mike Nolan needs to lose the Tim McGraw goatee.

Hey folks -- we've got an outside shot at 1 million page views for Saturday.

Says a reader:  "Hide the Red Bull from Mike Nolan."  (Dude, I already drank it all.)

Bucs take safety Sabby Piscitelli.

On to Part Four.
