2009 NFL Draft Day One- Open Thread #3

So far, the biggest upset picks have come from the AFC West. KC took Tyson Jackson at #3. Oakland stunned the draft room so far by bypassing Michael Crabtree and taking Darrius Heyward-Bey. Denver bypassed several defensive players and took RB Knowshon Moreno.

The Jets traded up with the Browns and took QB Mark Sanchez.

And both John Bena and JasonB are there covering the draft LIVE from Radio City!

Funny update just now from JasonB after Brian Cushing was taken by the Houston Texans:

Cushing’s entire family just stormed the stage from the cheap seats!

Chat away folks!

[UPDATE 6:08PM]: JasonB talks about press reaction to Tampa Bay trading up past Denver to get QB Josh Freeman:

[UPDATE 6:18PM]: From John Bena:

Lions fans chanting defense in preparation for their pick
