The NFL Draft continued today with some big names being removed from the board.
Manti Te'o was finally drafted. The Notre Dame linebacker went 38th overall to the San Diego Chargers. A nice spot for Te'o as he now gets to face Peyton Manning twice a year. Good luck figuring him out.
As for quarterback Geno Smith, he was picked right after Manti Te'o as the 39th pick by the New York Jets. It looks like the Mark Sanchez era in New York might thankfully be over. Some sources are telling ESPN that the Jets are considering releasing Mark Sanchez. Please do it now.
The first running back taken was Giovani Bernard from UNC. He was taken 37th overall by the Cincinnati Bengals. RB Eddie Lacy of Alabama would be taken 61st overall by the Green Bay Packers.
There were quite a few defensive backs taken with Tyrann Mathieu, CB from LSU that was dismissed from the team before the year began for violating the team rules, being the most notable name there. Mathieu was picked up in the 3rd round by the Arizona Cardinals as the 69th overall pick.
As for my San Francisco 49ers, they made three selections during the day. In the 2nd round, they selected DE Cornellius Carradine of Florida State and TE Vance McDonald of Rice. In the 3rd round they picked up another defensive end, Corey Lemonier of Auburn. I like the selections as they attempt to strengthen that defensive front along with trying to replace Delanie Walker at the tight end position.
Day three of the Draft is tomorrow starting around noon eastern.
