SCHRAGER ON THE SCENE: This one was announced on Tuesday. Kind of like Christmas in November. I hung with Long Thursday night at the EA Sports Draft Party. Nothing quite like seeing a kid two nights after signing for $30 million guaranteed. You couldn't wipe the smile off his face. He'll likely start next season, protecting the Dolphins quarterback ... whoever the heck that is. The Radio City Music Hall crowd reaction is similar to a movie theater during a Dane Cook flick: apathetic booing and indifference. And Will Smith's "Welcome To Miami" is now blasting. That's a hit from 1998. Or the last time the Dolphins were respectable.

SCHRAGER ON THE SCENE: The Rams go with Long, and the upper bowels of Radio City goes wild. I look up and see about 10 20-something guys, all in sport coats, long hair, and huge builds. Long gives them a point. Frat brothers? Who knows? Long erupts from backstage, tosses on the Rams hat, and disappears. He and his enormous bottom jaw will join Adam Carriker on that Rams defensive line — suddenly one of the most promising units in the league.

SCHRAGER ON THE SCENE: The Michael Vick era is officially a thing of the past, as the Falcons go with Ryan third overall. The hometown Jets crowd goes wild, as they're that much closer to Darren McFadden. Jermaine Dupri's "Welcome to Atlanta" comes on and a few overweight, mustachioed Jets fans start doing shoulder shimmies. Horrible sight, really. Fox colleague Alex Marvez notes, "Matt Ryan hugged Commissioner Goodell. Jake Long did not hug Goodell." You want analysis? You've got analysis.

SCHRAGER ON THE SCENE: A fantastic clash between two nutjob fan bases here at Radio City, as the Raiders Black Hole faithful goes wild and the Jets Gang Green-ites give a collective look of deep sorrow. I look for the mustachioed Jet fan dancers from a pick earlier, and discover a morbid sight. Their hands are over their faces. Utter disbelief and sadness, like someone just kicked their dogs. McFadden hoists up that #1 silver and black jersey and it just looks right. He joins Justin Fargas, Dominic Rhodes, Lamont Jordan and Michael Bush in the Raiders backfield, where he'll team with JaMarcus Russell for an SEC 1-2 duo in Oakland for years to come. Might as well move their games to Saturday and have Verne Lundquist do the games.

SCHRAGER ON THE SCENE: Hard not to love Glenn Dorsey. The All-American, All-Everything looks absolutely thrilled, erupting from the green room with a smile ear to ear. Before Dorsey can even get that Chiefs jersey in his hands, though, the Jets fans are in full "J-E-T-S, Jets, Jets, Jets" mode. The Chiefs took DT's Tank Tyler and Turk McBride in the '07 Draft. Tank and Turk then proceeded to be the most entertaining aspect of HBO's Hard Knocks summer training camp reality program. McBride's coping with roommate Tyler's snoring was the lone highlight of the 2007 Chiefs season. Dorsey, my highest-rated prospect in the entire draft, should help make the '08 campaign a little better for Chiefs fan.

SCHRAGER ON THE SCENE: Mixed reaction from the crowd initially, but the "J-E-T-S, Jets, Jets, Jets" chant kicks into high gear once Gholston comes on stage. Our mustachioed friends in the Jets jerseys look mildly pleased, but still seem to be a bit dejected from the McFadden selection. On the bright side, ESPN won't be able to go into "Girl Stuck In a Well" Aaron Rodgers/Brady Quinn mode with their coverage, as all six players invited to New York went 1-6. Billy Joel's "New York State of Mind" plays from above, and the Jets chant switches gears quickly from "J-E-T-S, Jets, Jets, Jets" to "Cheaters, Cheaters, Cheaters." Yep, the Patriots are on the clock. Sure enough, Matt Walsh is currently somewhere in Hawaii, with video footage of the Ravens war room.

SCHRAGER ON THE SCENE: The Saints trade up, grab their DT of the future, and the Animals' "House of the Rising Sun" kicks up on the PA system. The one Saints fan in the building, some dude in an undersized Aaron Brooks jersey, pumps his fist furiously and breaks into the "Who Dat" chant. Minutes later, he's still going. He's apparently a huge Sedrick Ellis fan. Who knew?

SCHRAGER ON THE SCENE: Lot of buzz here, as the Jags move up 18 spots to #8, but give up a ton to do so. Harvey's the pick and a few Florida fans in the mezzanine break out the Gators chomp move. Harvey joins fellow Gators star and 2007 first-round pick Reggie Nelson on that D. Toss in Fred Taylor, Mike Peterson, and Jeremy Mincey and that's five Florida guys on one team. Buffalo's playing in Toronto next year, right? Can we get a Jags home game at The Swamp?

SCHRAGER ON THE SCENE: With Chad Johnson trade rumors rampant here at Radio City, the Bengals just go along with their everyday business, drafting linebacker Keith Rivers with the ninth pick. The "WKRP in Cincinnati" theme is cued up, and the two dejected mustachioed Jets fans from earlier are humming the words passionately. You know what they say — theme songs from mediocre '80s sitcoms starring Loni Andersen are the cure for broken hearts. Meawhile, Johnson is still a Bengal ... for now.

SCHRAGER ON THE SCENE: The Jets fans are ruthless. The "cheaters, cheaters, cheaters" chant is now at full blast, rocking Radio City. A teenage girl in a pink Brady jersey is being booed by 40-year-old men in green. You've gotta love the NFL Draft. Meanwhile, the Pats take Jerod Mayo out of Tennessee, giving their roster exactly one linebacker under the age of 65. I had Mayo going 15th to the Lions in my mock draft and got over 100 e-mails killing me for having him going too high. In truth, I didn't have him going high enough.

SCHRAGER ON THE SCENE: Things worked out well for Buffalo, as the Bills got the top cornerback in the draft in McKelvin. No Bills fans in sight. No Troy fans in sight. But plenty of Bob Marley fans. "Buffalo Soldier" is played and the whole place breaks out in a calming hum. After the hatred being spewed during the Patriots pick, it's nice to just "chill" out with some Marley for a bit. Koom Bay Ah.

SCHRAGER ON THE SCENE: Clady slips to the Broncos, who gladly scoop up the All-American at 12th overall. John Denver's "Rocky Mountain High" plays immediately after "Buffalo Soldier" and it's a full-on singers and songwriters afternoon at Radio City. What's next? James Taylor doing "Carolina on My Mind"? Umm ... yes, actually, yes it is. The Clady pick gets mixed reactions from the few Broncos fans in the crowd. One guy's got a Brian Griese jersey on. Brian Griese, huh? Apparently, his Tommy Maddox one was in the wash.

SCHRAGER ON THE SCENE: After a little James Taylor to make this place even more eerily mellow, the Panthers grab Jonathan Stewart out of Oregon. Though the crowd is mildly surprised by this selection, I'm pretty much floored. I had Stewart going 36th to the Jets in my latest mock draft, a good 24 picks later. Stewart over Rashard Mendenhall is surprising; a running back over an offensive lineman here is shocking. Meanwhile, FOX colleague Adam Schein texts me "Told you he was a first rounder." Good for you, Adam. Good for you. I'll now take the next 10 minutes to wipe the egg off of my face.

SCHRAGER ON THE SCENE: The Bears need pretty much everything on offense this draft, and they start it off by grabbing offensive tackle Chris Williams out of Vanderbilt. Williams is the first All-SEC lineman out of Vandy since Will Wofford in 1984. Go share that factoid at your water cooler on Monday morning. You'll look really cool, I swear. The Bears fans here do what I call "The D'Brickashaw Ferguson." What's that? It's a golf clap and a point to the head, as in "Smart Pick," made famous by the Jets fans' reaction to Ferguson's selection in 2006. The highlights of Williams on the big screen are of a giant man pushing a blocking dummy. Hard to get real excited about that. So you do "The D'Brickashaw Ferguson," and nod. Sage-like.

SCHRAGER ON THE SCENE: The Chiefs move up a few picks and grab Branden Albert, a guy whose stock pretty much did the exact opposite of Bear Stearns' in the month of March. Rising, rising, and rising — Chris Long's college teammate goes to K.C., where he'll look to bring back some of the glory on the KC O-Line left by the recent retirements of Willy Roaf and Will Shields. Somewhere, Larry Johnson and Brody Croyle just took enormous sighs of relief. Naturally, a guy in a Dwayne Bowe jersey a few rows up gives a 10/10 "The D'Brickashaw Ferguson." Full nod and fist pump. Linemen!

SCHRAGER ON THE SCENE: The Cards grab Antonio Cromartie's cousin, Dominique Rodgers-Cromartie, out of Tennessee State. Cromartie had a pretty great pre-draft season, dominating the Senior Bowl, killing it at the combine, and then blowing everyone's mind at his Pro Day. He'll now go to Arizona, where he'll join recent draft picks Matt Leinart, Larry Fitzgerald, and Levi Brown in re-building the Cards. Somewhere, Leinart's pumping his fist in approval ... or pumping a keg. One or the other.

SCHRAGER ON THE SCENE: In a shocking development, Matt Millen takes a position other than wide receiver in the first round. The Lions take Gosder Cherilus, a 6-6, 305 pound lineman from B.C. Several Lions fans in the house, including one guy in a Joey Harrington jersey who is going wild. Huge Cherilus fan, apparently. The guy next to him has a Mike Williams jersey on. They try to slap five and kind of mess up the timing. No surprise there.

SCHRAGER ON THE SCENE: With John Harbaugh comes a new offensive scheme and apparently a new quarterback in Baltimore. It's Mr. Kaiser Soze himself, Joe Flacco. A 6-7 beast out of Delaware, no one in this room had even heard of Flacco five months ago. He's really tall, though! The few Ravens fans in the building are ecstatic, jumping up and down and hugging. Hugging over Joe Flacco? Really? They loved his work in the James Madison game this year. Or was it against New Hampshire? Either way, they're pumped.

SCHRAGER ON THE SCENE: For the third straight year, the Eagles fans get worked up in a frenzy over the Rocky tune "Gonna Fly Now," only to have their home team trade the pick away at the last second. It's become a yearly tradition. Two guys in McNabb jerseys are sweating. Full on sweat. That dancing they were doing was the first physical activity they've done in years. The Panthers move up and get Jeff Otah, a giant mauling offensive tackle. With Stewart and Otah, the offense should be upgraded substantially down in Carolina. There are no Carolina Panthers fans in the building. Not one. I just scoured the entire place and can't find a soul. C'mon Panthers fans, make the trip next year! Give us something. Meanwhile, the Eagles fans are all still sweating. Profusely.

SCHRAGER ON THE SCENE: An unnamed middle-aged member of the media sitting nearby waits until everyone's quit talking, takes a deep breath, and comments, "The Marijuana Man!" A pack of fellow middle-aged members of the media surrounding him laugh uproariously in unison. Hilarious! This is the comedy you're missing at Radio City, folks. Hey, failed drug tests or not, Talib was fantastic his entire career in Lawrence, capping it off with an All-American 2007 campaign in which the Jayhawks won the Orange Bowl. I'm a huge Talib guy. Ronde Barber can't play forever. This is a solid pick. I just did "The D'Brickashaw Ferguson" move.

SCHRAGER ON THE SCENE: The Falcons take the three-time All-American in Baker and the few Falcons fans here respond with approving claps. A guy is wearing a Michael Vick jersey. That's some statement. Do PETA members throw crap at you as you walk down the street? And if you're wearing a Vick jersey now, what other jerseys do you own in that closet back home? A Rae Carruth? A Lawrence Phillips? Odell Thurman? Regardless, it's a bold wardrobe move. One that Joan Rivers would not approve of.

SCHRAGER ON THE SCENE: In the "Great Moments in NFL Draft Fan Chant History" annals of the NFL Hall of Fame, they'll capture the scene I just witnessed here at Radio City: Three Cowboys fans, seated side by side by side, chanting "Dallas Cowboys; Dallas Cowboys; Dallas Cowboys," and in between every "Dallas Cowboys" three very clever Giants fans seated directly behind them yell in unison the word "SUCK!" This goes on at least a dozen times. A dozen! "Dallas Cowboys" ... "Suck!" ... "Dallas Cowboys" ... "Suck!" Over and over again. My brain hurts from watching this. But the Dallas fans seem happy with the Felix Jones pick. They get the lightning to Marion Barber's thunder; the same role Jones played for McFadden at Arkansas.

SCHRAGER ON THE SCENE: The Steelers fans were chanting "Mendenhall ... Mendenhall" and they got the man they wanted. The Terrible Towels are out, and being waved fanatically. As a thousand Steelers fans will tell you, Najeh Davenport just wasn't ready to carry the load once Willie Parker went down with injury last year. Mendenhall, who I thought would be a top 15 pick, goes 23 to Pittsburgh. In the crowd, I just spotted a woman with a Steelers helmet, a Hines Ward jersey, and actual shoulder pads on ... and I didn't even flinch at the sight. Standard.

SCHRAGER ON THE SCENE: Let's give it up for the NFL's deejay here at Radio City. His musical selections have been fabulous all afternoon. The choice for the Titans pick? Arrested Development's "Tennessee." What's Arrested Development up to now? Weddings? Bar Mitzvahs? When the song drags out, the Titans take Chris Johnson, the 4.2 40 speed demon out of East Carolina. He'll join LenDale White and Chris Henry in the Tennessee backfield. At receiver for the Titans? John Doe 1, John Doe 2, and John Doe 3. Can the guys from Arrested Development catch a football? Someone should ask.

SCHRAGER ON THE SCENE: "Dallas Cowboys" ... "Dallas Cowboys" ... No suck? I guess the Giants fans have had a change of heart since the 22nd pick overall. Good. I hated seeing the Dallas and New York fans not getting along. Jenkins is the pick, a 2007 All-American out of South Florida. A lethal return man — just like Felix Jones — Dallas now has two guys who can take back kicks and punts. Somewhere, Miles Austin sheds a tear. The deejay goes to the "Dallas" theme music. Patrick Duffy's nowhere to be found.

SCHRAGER ON THE SCENE: The Texans grab Duane Brown, the tackle out of Virginia Tech. Though there aren't many Texans fans in the house, there are a few folks in Virginia Tech jerseys. They're doing the "D'Brickashaw Ferguson" move and they're not even Houston fans. Great highlights of Duane Brown beating up on tackling dummies on the big screen. The tackling dummies don't even put up a fight.

SCHRAGER ON THE SCENE: Great crew of Chargers fans near the front of Radio City. One is wearing an Antonio Gates jersey, while the other is in what appears to be a Seau one. Both seem quite content with the Cason pick, even hugging afterwards. Does Antoine Cason have any idea that two Chargers fans just HUGGED over his selection? Cason joins recent Day One draft picks Antonio Cromartie and Eric Weddle in what should be a pretty lethal defensive backfield for years to come.

SCHRAGER ON THE SCENE: After a nice Pearl Jam/Nirvana medley, the Seahawks grab Lawrence Jackson, the sack machine out of USC. Phillip Merling's groin injury must be a lot worse than publicized, as everyone's Top 20 pick now looks to have fallen out of the first round. In a momentary slip up to what was a fantastic overall performance, the deejay plays "Bittersweet Symphony" by The Verve. A band from Wigan, England. You figure it out. Maybe Paul Allen really digs them? Probably not.

SCHRAGER ON THE SCENE: Well, I've seen it all. A guy in a #10 Giants jersey with the name "DALLASSUCKS" on the back has somehow gotten into the media section of Radio City and is fully leading "Dallas Sucks" chants. That's a lot of work, making that jersey. What's the process there? You come up with the idea, go on NFL.com, and pay $90 for it? Then slap five with Giants fans at tailgates every Sunday? And get spit on by Dallas fans at sports bars? I guess so. Hey, to each his own. The Niners go with Balmer, a run-stuffing DT from North Carolina. The crowd doesn't seem very interested in the selection.

SCHRAGER ON THE SCENE: The Jets trade up and a "Devin ... Thomas" chant gets going. Instead, the Jets go with Dustin Keller out of Purdue. The crowd reaction is quite similar to the one when New York took Kyle Brady over Warren Sapp and J.J. Stokes in the 1995 Draft. Shock. Awe. Sadness. In truth, they'll come to like Keller, a great target for Kellen Clemens and Chad Pennington over the middle.

SCHRAGER ON THE SCENE: Commissioner Goodell refers to the Giants as "The Super Bowl Champion Giants" and Radio City goes nuts. A subtle reminder, that wow, yes, the Giants actually won the Super Bowl in February. Meanwhile, "DALLASSUCKS" jersey guy has CHANGED into a new jersey — a white #44 Ahmad Bradshaw jersey. He's very proud of this wardrobe adjustment and pulls his jersey repeatedly, waving it in his section's face. The G-Men address their void at safety, grabbing Kenny Phillips out of Miami. Jesse Armstead, Sinorice Moss, Jeremy Shockey ... the Giants have a long history with guys from the U.
