Live from Radio City

Tom Curran and I have arrived.  We are parked about feet from center stage  where Commissioner Goodell will start announcing picks; 10 feet from the Patriots and Falcons tables where their picks will be called into.  The Patriots are rocking two helmets at their table to represent the 50th anniversary of the AFL. 

The top of this draft continues to be a mystery, although the Rams still seemed to be focusing on tackles Jason Smith and Eugene Monroe with their number two overall selection, despite the Mark Sanchez rumors.

The first big news doesn't have much to do with the draft.  The National Football Post reports that Matt Cassel has reportedly received a six-year deal with $36 million guaranteed from the Chiefs.  Nothing like going all in.  The Chiefs really didn't have much choice but to make the deal because he was owed $14.65 million this season as their franchise player.

Update: Peter King reports through two sources that the Cassel deal is not done. 

Update: Congrats to everyone that had 2:58 for the first J-E-T-S, Jets, Jets, Jets chant.
