The second annual NFL Pro Bowl Draft took place live from Arizona on Wednesday evening and it didn't disappoint. This was day two of the draft focusing on more position skill players.
Hall of fame wide receivers Michael Irvin and Cris Carter were elected to pick their respective Pro Bowl teams. The Pro Bowl uniforms each team would wear were also unveiled.
Captains were named for each team prior to the draft with Dallas Cowboys running back DeMarco Murray and Cleveland Browns cornerback Joe Haden being nominated captains for Team Irvin while Houston Texans defensive lineman J.J. Watt and Pittsburgh Steelers wide receiver Antonio Brown were elected captains of Team Carter.
Carter had the honor of picking first on day two of the draft, and for the second year in a row Andrew Luck was selected with the number one pick. Irvin responded with selecting Cowboys quarterback Tony Romo with the number two overall pick, and continued to set the tone early as he kept piling up on Cowboys' players. Overall Irvin drafted all three Cowboys offensive lineman, C Travis Frederick, LT Tyron Smith and RG Zack Martin, to go along with Romo and tight end Jason Witten.
One of the biggest surprises may have been Team Irvin selecting New York Giants receiver Odell Beckham Jr. with the fourth overall pick. It's pretty amazing to think that Beckham Jr. is a rookie who missed his first four games and went on to a historic first season. It just goes to show the type of impact and how fast he's emerged as a star in the NFL to be selected so early in a draft full of Pro Bowlers.
Head coaches were selected last and in no surprise to anyone Team Irvin selected Cowboys head coach Jason Garrett while John Harbaugh went to Team Carter.
