NFL Draft 8:00 P.M. ET, Radio City Music Hall

NEW YORK-- The 2011 NFL Draft will begin tonight at Radio City Music Hall; and thanks to Judge Susan Nelson, the players that get selected in the next two days will be worrying about who they will be playing for this season rather than if they'll be playing at all.
Here are my projected picks for the first ten teams:

1. Carolina Panthers -- Cam Newton, QB, Auburn
 Will Cam Newton be the first player selected in this years draft? Yes. Should he be? Not necessarily. The Buffalo Bills at number three seem like a better fit. Newton is not all there mechanically, so learning from a veteran like Ryan Fitzpatrick for a season seems like a better option than taking over a leader-less offense in Carolina.

2. Denver Broncos -- Von Millier, LB, Texas A&M

3. Buffalo Bills -- Marcell Dareus, DT Alabama
Newton will be gone, so the next best option for the Bills is to take Marcell Dareus, the player that many people believe is the most NFL-ready in this years draft class. Dareus could be the big, physical presence the Bills need to shore up their 32nd ranked run defense. 

4. Cincinnati Bengals -- A.J. Green, WR, Georgia
It's been said that if Palmer's out, Ocho Cinco could be out too. If that's the case, the Bengals will be happy they took the talented receiver out of Georgia. 

5. Arizona Cardinals -- Patrick Peterson, CB, LSU

6. Cleveland Browns -- Julio Jones, WR, Alabama
 The Brownies are looking for a top-notch receiver to complement Mohamed Massaquoi and fill the void left by Braylon Edwards.

7. San Francisco 49ers -- Robert Quinn, DE, Arizona

8. Tennessee Titans -- Blaine Gabbert, QB, Missouri
 Gabbert was less of a star than Vince Young in college, but I have a sneaking suspicion he will have a more successful career as a Titan.

9. Dallas Cowboys -- Tyron Smith, OT, USC

10. Washington Redskins -- Jake Locker, QB, Washington
 The 'Skins would be thrilled if Julio Jones was still available, but he'll be long gone and the Redskins will spend their first pick on Donovan McNabb's replacement.

What to Eat: Hot Pastrami Sandwich -- Katz's Deli, New York City

The NFL draft will take place in NYC at Radio City Music Hall for the sixth straight year, so it seems only fitting to get down on some NYC food. There are plenty of options when it comes to New York fare: pizza, a dirty water dog, or if you're feeling adventurous, maybe some falafill. And don't get me wrong, these foods are classic "New York" foods to be sure, and are all extremely delicious. But I can't think of anything I'd rather do while watching any sort of New York sporting event, whether it be a Yankee game or this year's NFL draft, than roll up my sleeves and bite down on an oversized hot pastrami sandwich. And if you want the juicy, meaty, cheesy goodness done right, you'll go here: Katz's Deli.
