NFL Draft, Live Blog Edition Alpha

Mock pick #17, Detroit Lions from KC Chefs: Rashard Mendenhall RB Illinois. Seriously, this might mean Matt Millen is being smart---if they wanted Rashard a few picks back and traded down to get him here, that's a pretty savvy move. Or maybe they didn't and I'm just trying to justify my own constant re-picking.

Lions' actual pick: Gosder Cherilus LT Boston College. OK, so they didn't. But this isn't a bad pick for this team--better than George Foster, anyway.
