Quick NFL draft update

New Orleans took Reggie Bush with the second pick, and that was not a surprise in light of the fact that Houston did not take Bush. Then, with the third pick, Tennessee, whose offensive coordinator is Norm Chow, who was the offensive coordinator at USC when Matt Leinart won the Heisman, took...Vince Young. That surprised me. So, the J-E-T-S, Jets, Jets, Jets picked next. And another surprised followed as the Jets passed on Leinart and picked OT D'Brickashaw Ferguson. It's not so much that the pick was a surprise. Rather, the surprise was that the multitude of Jets fans at the draft actually cheered and were happy with the pick. :-)

GIANTS UPDATE: After trading down to the last pick of the first round (and getting some additional picks), the Giants slelcted DE Mathias Kiwanuka from Boston College. I guess the Giants are looking to the time when Strahan retires. Maybe Kiwanuka can progress quickly enough to provide some rest for Strahan and/or Umenyiora during the season.

In the second round, the Giants used one of the picks they got in the first round trade with Pittsburgh to work a trade to move up in the second round, and then they selected Sinorice Moss, WR from Miami. I like this pick. He is the little brother of Sanatana Moss, and those speed genes run in the family. I see him as being able to provide an effective option that could take coverage away from Burress, Toomer, Shockey, et al. and open up the passing game in general. This pick gives the Giants one dangerous receiving corps.

OTHER UPDATE NEWS: Tennessee has now picked up Lendale White in round 2. What a great pick for the Titans. After getting Vince Young, can anyone say "healthy, new version of McNair and George?"
