2011 NFL Draft, Day Three Open Thread

by Berkelium97 on Apr 30, 2011 3:00 AM PDT in California Golden Bears Football

Yesterday was a pleasant surprise as Shane Vereen went to New England in the second round and in the third round Chris Conte renewed his status as a Bear with Chicago. Mike Mohamed was the only other Golden Bear who consistently earned spots in mock drafts, but it's uncertain when he will be drafted. He could go as early as the fourth round or as late as the seventh round. Jeremy Ross also has the chance to be drafted, likely towards the end of the draft. Sit back and get comfortable, because we have six hours of drafting ahead of us.

Coverage starts at 9am PDT on ESPN and the NFL Network. Join the discussion in the comments below.

Still, Rickey’s bobblehad is better than MC Hammer’s anyway. Rickey’s bobblehead probably bobbles in the third person.

Talk about conflicted

The Seahawks have ex-Bears Justin Forsett, Marshawn Lynch, Brandon Mebane, Mike Gibson, and Cameron Morrah.

But Pete Carroll is their coach. Now they have Richard Sherman, who is synonymous with Stanfurd, as it seemed like he was there forever.

Is rooting for the Seahawks rong or right?!?
