All these "I couldn't be there" stories makes me question whether the NFL made a mistake trying to make the draft a three-day prime time event. I know they'll never go back to a Sat-Sun weekend but I wish they would.
As for Mercilus, it's a great pick because he'll cost so much less than Mario and he doesn't have to start right away. I can't wait to see what he's like after a year of being coached up. He's big enough to be a DE on third downs and a rush OLB on earlier downs. I also like all the forced fumbles. He says he has a knack for knowing when to strip and that's a great quality to have.
Since Martin and Glenn are still there, I wonder if the Texans might not be tempted to trade up in the second round with one of their 4ths to get the guy they want. I could see that happening.
