Even though the Jets need a starting QB, they went with a WCG favorite in DE Quinton Coples. And while it wasn't as glorious as I'd have liked, the boo-birds were still out.
A run on defensive ends started, but was balanced out by the Dre Kirkpatrick pick by the Bengals. Going forward, there's a lot of quality left, after some picks turned some heads. (Poe? Really? Poe?)
That said, we're heading into the last third of first round--nothing quite like the money-grab of the first round having it's own special night.
Update: the Bears have made their selection at #19: Shea McClellin, DE Boise State. Head over to the dedicated thread to discuss.
