We waited all day for the 26th pick, then waited some more once . Finally, in a pick nobody saw coming the Birds draft QB Kevin Kolb at 36. ?

He's a shotgun passer who seems to be a product of his offense at Houston. People knocked Brady Quinn for not beating top teams. Kevin Kolb didn't even play top teams.

Honestly, I don't get the pick. Do the Eagles know something we don't? Is Donovan McNabb really that injury prone?

Is this guy capable of becoming a franchise quarterback? This seemed to come out of nowhere. What about those needs in the secondary?

What about the LBs?

I've been sitting here all day excitedly waiting to see who the Birds would take. I think these fans sum up my feelings pretty well on the pick.

Every eight year old growing up dreams of playing quarterback for their favorite team. If you're from Dublin, Ohio, you grow up a Cleveland Browns fan.

In Brady's post draft interview session he was asked about his first memory of seeing the Browns play when he was seven.

Quinn handled himself well in the session despite being obviously disappointed. We're a bit Brady'd out, so we'll try to stop talking about him for a while. Video below.

"It was a cold day. We bundled up, I went there with my dad and uncle and grandpa and sat up in the stands and actually ended up beating Pittsburgh.

It's a rowdy crowd and they have a great following. It was a great experience."

Browns fans can now put their hope of beating Pittsburgh in Brady.

A loud portion of them wanted to go after Brady Quinn while some seemed more than pleased with Darrelle Revis. Here's a quick video of their reaction.

Afterall, this year's venue is one of the world's greatest music halls and thankfully the house music isn't all that bad.

Some of my personal favorites included the Grateful Dead's Tennesee Jed when the Titans were picking, Kiss' Back in the New York Groove for the Jets, and Sinatra's New York, New York for the Giants. Some not so favorites included, Kid Rock's Cowboy and some other horrible country song about Dallas.

I think I overheard Mel Kiper trying to convince Berman that one of the 's would make a better defensive end than a tackle, "With her upper body strength, she can really clog up the middle."

When asked what he had planned to celebrate his good fortune of being one of the hottest players in the NFL, Calvin said he had to check his schedule. Man, if I got picked in the first round of the NFL draft I would have a bash all ready to rock tonight at some posh New York club that I certainly couldn't afford prior to playing my way into millions of dollars. To Calvin's credit, he said he had to work out his schedule and maybe he'd plan a way to celebrate down the road.

When asked the question of whether he was the best athlete in the draft, Calvin responded cool, calm, and confident when telling that he certainly believed he is the best athlete in the draft. The Lions have themselves a winner in Calvin Johnson.

Previously at FanHouse:

As for the fans at Radio City, they're booing everybody. Check out the video below of fan's reaction to the Brown's selecting Joe Thomas number three overall. Hey Donovan McNabb, stop being so sensitive.

And all you Philly bashers, stop using booing DMac as fodder for Eagles fans being vicious.

As for Joe Thomas, I'm going to guess getting booed won't phase him one bit. I just got this tip from FanHouse's own John Ness, "NFL Network just featured a live shot of Lake Michigan, where their guys are demeaning themselves waiting for Thomas.

I just love the idea of all these media guys waiting for this kid to get done fishing."

What will I cover you ask? I've never been to a draft of any kind so I can't tell you that eight hours of watching names get announced is going to be unbelievably entertaining, but I'm going to try to find some fun angles to report. I'm just hoping for a or two (although the ESPN booth is located behind me).

We're at the draft, looking for entertaining bits to report.
