Weddle headed to San Diego
Aah, there's the love affair with Utah's Eric Weddle I expected to continue on draft day. Weddle got all the draft hype in the Mountain West Conference this year. San Diego selected Weddle with the No. 5 pick in the second round and No. 37 pick overall in the draft.
The ESPN analysts did question whether San Diego gave up too much trading up to get Weddle, but they never question his talent or versatility.
So Weddle is the first Mountain West Conference player plucked in the draft. We'll see who is next.
Here's one other interesting note. The first round was dominated by players from BCS schools. This isn't exactly unusual, but the little guys normally get at least one person in the first round. Not this year.

I stand corrected with the all-BCS first round. It was an almost all-BCS first round. Thanks for pointing out the error.

No problem! The only reason I bring it up is because the "little guys" need to get as much recognition as possible.
Thanks for all the great coverage
