The first big "Wow'' moment of the day (if you exclude the Williams deal from last night) just took place. Buffalo takes Ohio State safety Donte Whitner at eighth overall. Talk about a fast riser. He was in the neighborhood of the top half of the draft just a few days ago, and below a first-rounder before that. Our man Bill Ordine didn't have him in his mock-draft first round. Then again, probably 99 percent (if not 100) of the mock drafts published in newspapers across the country today, were re-written late last night after the Texans' deal.

At No. 9, Detroit has taken Florida State linebacker Ernie Sims. It's getting interesting about who might be available four picks from now when the Ravens' turn comes up.

Make it three picks from now. Arizona, at No. 10 ... Matt Leinart! Goody. On the one hand, it's Dennis Green, Larry Fitzgerald, Anquan Boldin and a new stadium. On the other hand, Arizona, the Bidwills - need we say more?
