The first round ends

NFL commish Roger Goodell announced that this was the longest first round in league history, and simultaneously everyone in the media room laughed with derision. That is not a good thing for us, especially since the Birds now have two third round picks.

Paul Posluszny and Alan Branch were the most notable players to slip out of the first round. The Eagles could take either one and claim they were delighted for the honor.

Another note: now the Birds are free to take a linebacker without breaking their 28-year streak of not taking a LB in the first round.
