Day 2 of the NFL draft is underway at Radio City Music Hall in New York City.In keeping with the trend set Saturday, the first pick of the day was traded (the 13th deal of the draft) as Detroit and Miami swapped picks and the Lions moving up to the top of Round 3 to take Central Florida running back Kevin Smith at 64. ... Five picks later, the Chargers moved up from 160 to the Patriots' spot at 69 to take LSU running back Jacob Hester. The Chargers gave up their second-round choice in the 2009 draft and their pick at 160 to take Hester, a hard-nosed hybrid running back. Is he a fullback? Is he a halfback? Is he an H-back? Is he a special teams player? What he'll say is he's simply a football player. And that versatility will give him an opportunity to get on the field immediately for the Bolts. Is landing Hester worth next year's No. 2? Is he the player fans had hoped the team would bring in to replace the departed Michael Turner and provide insurance for LT? Probably not. Check out his NFL.com bio. ... The Raiders don't pick until 104 ... The Browns won't make their first pick until 122. |
