USC now has five selections in the first 39 picks. Chilo Rachal, a guard, was a surprise this early in the second round. He was selected by the San Francisco 49ers at No. 39. Rachal left school after his junior year to address family issues. Pete Carroll originally didn’t think Rachal would leave early, but he did.

Ellis, Rivers drafted No. 7, 9

Hi. This is Jill Painter, and I’ll be posting draft stuff today for Scott Wolf. I’m using Scott’s logon for now, so even though it has his name on the posts, I’ll be posting draft stuff.

Tackle Sedrick Ellis was selected with the No. 7 pick by the New Orleans Saints, who traded up to get the pick from the New England Patriots. Linebacker Keith Rivers was selected No. 9 by the Cincinnati Bengals. Both figured to be top-10 draft picks and both were. No suprises there.
