NFL Draft: First-round picks made

NEW YORK - It's a day that has pro football fanatics drooling. The NFL is conducting its annual draft.  Because General Manager Tim Ruskell needed former Super Bowl MVP wideout Deion Branch in the worst way last season, the Seattle Seahawks are the only team without a first-round pick in the draft. They'll have to wait until choosing 55th overall, deep into the second round.

The Oakland Raiders had the first pick thanks to their league-worst showing last season. They've been played it close to the vest but as expected by many, they chose quarterback JaMarcus Russell of LSU.

ESPN.com has recently reported that the Seattle Seahawks may be on the verge of a trade that would send wide receiver Darrell Jackson to the San Francisco 49ers. In return, the Seahawks would receive a fourth-round pick.
