21. Cleveland: Taylor; 22. Indy: Castanzo; 23. Philadelphia: Watkins; 24. New Orleans: Jordan
By Jerry McDonald - NFL Writer
Thursday, April 28th, 2011 at 7:43 pm in Oakland Raiders.
Cleveland, which started out at No. 6 and traded back to No. 27, jumped up to No. 21 to select Baylor defensive tackle Phil Taylor.
Taylor is a classic 340-pound nose tackle going to a team which us switching from a 3-4 to a 4-3. Huh?
Guessing the call to Anthony Castanzo was placed by the Indianapolis official that actually made the pick _ quarterback Peyton Manning. He’d had enough of Tony Ugoh.
Castanzo, at No. 22, is the first left tackle selected. Usually a few left tackles are gone by this point. Tyron Smith, taken No. 9, was a right tackle at USC and is expected to play that position in Dallas.
Baylor guard Danny Watkins gets the call from Andy Reid. It’s a tossup as to which one weighs more. Watkins, like Cal’s Aaron Rodgers, went to Butte College.
Speaking of Cal, Cameron Jordan went a later-than-expected No. 24 to New Orleans, a team in need of a pass rush. A life of the party guy, Jordan is going to the ultimate party city.

April 28th, 2011 at 8:05 pm
Would you rather have Seymour or Nate Solder?
I’d rather have Solder.
April 28th, 2011 at 8:06 pm
Ingram to the Jets?
April 28th, 2011 at 8:07 pm
See how pissssed off the NFL guys were on the phone? And how Goodell looked when he made the announcement of the KC pick?
Only Al can make someone look that way. lol…
April 28th, 2011 at 8:07 pm
Rather have a multi-time pro bowler and team leader than a project tackle. Seymour for sure. I think NE blew it. They traded the 28th pick anyways.
April 28th, 2011 at 8:07 pm
NE traded the pick….Raiders????
April 28th, 2011 at 8:08 pm
TRADE
April 28th, 2011 at 8:08 pm
OH! that was Al’s guy! I guess the trade didn’t happen.
April 28th, 2011 at 8:08 pm
I think if we traded it up it would have been for Jimmy Smith… dont think its us, but ya never know what uncle al is doing
April 28th, 2011 at 8:09 pm
That would be funny if Al traded up for Smith and Balt took him right now lol.
April 28th, 2011 at 8:09 pm

Really? You had the Saints trading up for Ingram?
April 28th, 2011 at 8:11 pm
with the B’more fiasco …was the Davis screwing around? Strange.
April 28th, 2011 at 8:11 pm
SNAP…..it looks like New Orleans! SNAP!!
April 28th, 2011 at 8:12 pm
Apparently they were trying to work out a trade with the Bears, and the Bears backed out last minute.
April 28th, 2011 at 8:13 pm
We really don’t have anything/anybody to trade other than 2012 draft picks. I don’t see AD moving up. Just draft at least 3 OL. The good news is that this draft is heavy with O & D linemen. The Wiz, if he’s the right guy will be available in the third. Marcus Cannon may be available in the 4th or 5th. So who is our #2 pick?
