2009 NFL Draft Day One- Open Thread #2

It’s finally starting, and SB Nation writers John Bena and JasonB are there at Radio City Music Hall live-blogging the draft. Look for their updates on possible trades and other on-the-floor information in the comments.

This is your open thread. We’ll update as new info rolls in.

[UPDATE]: From JasonB:

Jason Smith is on his phone and has a big old smile on his face... So I guess the Sanchez thing was BS.

[UPDATE]: As you can see, JasonB’s info was dead on. Rams take Jason Smith, OT.

[UPDATE 4:18PM]: Big but odd rumor from JasonB:

Hearing some crazy rumors about the Eagles sending #21 and Shawn Andrews to Cleveland for the Browns #5 overall and Braylon Edwards. Seems very farfetched to me.

[UPDATE 4:39PM]: Looks like the Jets have traded up and are now on the clock at #5. Mark Sanchez is on his cell phone, smiling. Looks like Sanchez to the Jets.

[UPDATE 4:50PM]: From JasonB regarding Sanchez trade:

The press around us where surprised at the deal. The initial reaction was that the Jets gave up a lot.

[UPDATE 4:59PM]: When the Raiders bypassed WR Michael Crabtree for WR Darius Heyward-Bey, JasonB saw this from press nearby:

There were a number of laughs after that pick amongst the press.

[UPDATE 5:27PM]: From JasonB who was at Eugene Monroe press conference:

I just got back from the Eugene Monroe press conference and he was asked if he was surprised that Jacksonville took him.
He said, “Yeah, the last time I talked the Jaguars was pro day. I had no idea they wanted me.”
