8:54 p.m.: Team Sanders takes Colts outside linebacker Robert Mathis. It actually was J.J. Watt’s pick.

Andrew Luck has to be happy Mathis won’t be chasing after him.

They keep cutting away to Marshall Faulk and Steve Mariucci, who are broadcasting from the beach. It’s so windy, it looks like Mooch is going to blow away.

8:51 p.m.: The third Brown is off the board! Team Rice just took wide receiver Josh Gordon.

Gordon made Aqib Talib look like Chris Canty — the former Patriots cornerback, that is — earlier in the year.

8:49 p.m.: Team Sanders, Watt and Charles took Cincinnati Bengals wideout A.J. Green.

8:46 p.m.: Team Rice selected the best left tackle in the NFL, the Cleveland Browns’ Joe Thomas. He’ll be protecting Drew Brees on Team Orange.

Joe Thomas said he wasn’t really paying attention because he didn’t expect to be picked for a few hours. Honesty from Mr. Thomas!

8:44 p.m.: As you might be able to tell from these timestamps, it’s actually taking three minutes between picks.

Dallas Cowboys wide receiver Dez Bryant was Team Sanders’ fourth pick.

8:41 p.m.: Rice just said Sanders wasn’t a shutdown cornerback. I would have to respectfully disagree. Team Rice took Browns cornerback Joe Haden.

8:38 p.m.: Deion Sanders selected the player who reminds him of himself, Arizona Cardinals cornerback Patrick Peterson, who says he wears No. 21 for Neon Deion.

8:35 p.m.: Team Rice selected Eagles running back LeSean McCoy. Shady’s talking trash to Deion Sanders. Team Sanders might make him pay.

8:32 p.m.: Team Sanders took another quarterback, the Panthers’ Cam Newton.

8:29 p.m.: Terrell Suggs is creeping everyone out by video bombing interviews. It has to stop.

Team Rice took Jimmy Graham with its first pick of the day. He reunites with his quarterback, Drew Brees, who’s a captain on Team Rice.

Brees and Graham’s chemistry might have been destroyed forever had he not been the pick.

8:27 p.m.: Deion Sanders made Andrew Luck his No. 1 pick for the day. Chuck Pagano is the Team Sanders head coach, so it only makes sense for Luck to reunite with his coach.

8:25 p.m.: Both Sanders and Rice are REQUIRED to use the entire two minutes to make their picks. So, we’ll be here for a while. Strap in.

8:20 p.m.: Deion Sanders is a much better trash talker than Jerry Rice.

8:15 p.m.: NFL Network is really dragging this out. We’re now introducing the players who were selected in yesterday’s draft. This actually might never start.

Oh, hey, Logan Mankins shaved his beard.

8:08 p.m.: Larry Fitzgerald is even giving generic answers at the Pro Bowl. He’d fit in well with the Patriots.

8:05 p.m.: The show has started up with Pro Bowlers being introduced in Hawaii, wearing neon yellow and orange shirts. Hawaii looks nice and warm. It’s cold here in New England.

Wednesday, 7:59 p.m.: We’re about to get started on the second day of the Pro Bowl draft. Follow along as Jerry Rice and Deion Sanders pick the skill-position players.

9 p.m. ET: That’ll do it for Day 1 of the 2014 NFL Pro Bowl draft, but visit NESN.com on Wednesday night, when we’ll have the Day 2 picks as they’re unveiled.

8:54 p.m. ET: Indianapolis Colts coach Chuck Pagano, head coach of Team Sanders, and Carolina Panthers coach Ron Rivera, head coach of Team Rice, join everyone on the stage. The coaches have to select a “need” player, and each chooses a long snapper. Team Rice takes Matt Overton from Pagano’s Colts, which prompts Team Sanders to choose J.J. Jansen from Rivera’s Panthers.

8:49 p.m. ET: Punters are up, and Team Rice selects Johnny Hekker of the St. Louis Rams. Brandon Fields of the Miami Dolphins goes to Team Sanders.

8:48 p.m. ET: Matthew Slater, who recorded 11 special-team tackles this season for the New England Patriots, goes to Team Sanders as the specialist. Team Rice takes Justin Bethel, who had 21 special-teams tackles for the Arizona Cardinals.

8:47 p.m. ET: Fullbacks are up. Team Rice takes Mike Tolbert, who led the Carolina Panthers with seven total touchdowns. Team Sanders takes Marcel Reece of the Oakland Raiders.

8:46 p.m. ET: Three positions — specialists, fullbacks and punters — still have to be picked.

8:38 p.m. ET: Centers are next. Team Sanders gets the first pick and takes the Miami Dolphins’ Mike Pouncey, a first time Pro-Bowler who allowed only one sack this season. Team Rice takes Ryan Kalil of the Carolina Panthers.

Deion Sanders and his team snag Alex Mack of the Cleveland Browns, and Jerry Rice takes Nick Mangold of the New York Jets with the final pick for this group.

8:29 p.m. ET: The last guard Team Rice picks is Evan Mathis of the Philadelphia Eagles. That leaves Chicago Bears rookie Kyle Long, son of Howie Long, to land with Team Sanders.

8:25 p.m. ET: Jerry Rice’s team gets the first pick with the guard group and takes New Orleans Saints’ Jahri Evans after a brief huddle. Drew Brees takes one of his own with the pick. Team Sanders selects Marshall Yanda of the Baltimore Ravens.

With the second selection of this group, Team Rice takes the other New Orleans Saint, Ben Grubbs. Drew Brees is one happy guy to have both of his guards for the game. Deion Sanders selects New England Patriots guard Logan Mankins, a six-time Pro Bowler.

8:21 p.m. ET: Now it’s time for offensive players to get some love, and the guards are up next.

8:15 p.m. ET: Kansas City’s Dontari Poe is the third and final defensive lineman Team Sanders selects. Kyle Williams of the Buffalo Bills then goes to Jerry Rice’s crew.

8:14 p.m. ET: Team Sanders selects Gerald McCoy of the Tampa Bay Buccaneers for their next pick. Team Rice takes the Buffalo Bills’ Marcell Dareus, and two defensive linemen remain.

8:11 p.m. ET: The captains have joined Jerry Rice and Deion Sanders on stage, as the interior defensive lineman are first up to be picked. Team Sanders is on the clock, and J.J. Watt calls the Detroit Lions’ Ndamukong Suh as the first pick. The three-time Pro Bowler had 49 tackles and 5.5 sacks this season.

Jerry Rice confers with his group, which takes the Dallas Cowboys’ Jason Hatcher, who had 11 sacks and 41 tackles this season.

8:08 p.m. ET: The Pro Bowl draft is officially underway, and Hawaii looks infinitely better than snowy New England does.

8:05 p.m. ET: Six positions — defensive tackles, guards, centers, fullbacks, punters and specialists — will be drafted tonight. Teams will draft one position group at a time, and the Hall of Famers will have 30 seconds per pick.

6:45 p.m. ET: The draft is still over an hour away, but we have our first selections of the night as Jerry Rice and Deion Sanders have picked their respective captains.

After winning the coin toss, Jerry Rice elected to take New Orleans Saints quarterback Drew Brees and St. Louis Rams defensive end Robert Quinn as his two captains. Deion Sanders then chose Kansas City Chiefs running back Jamaal Charles and Houston Texans defensive end J.J. Watt to lead his squad Sunday.

11:30 a.m. ET: The NFL is trying something new with the Pro Bowl this season.

At 8 p.m. Tuesday and Wednesday, Deion Sanders and Jerry Rice will draft the two Pro Bowl rosters for this year’s game on NFL Network. The teams will not be split up between the AFC and NFC.

The New England Patriots have just three players remaining in the player pool after Aqib Talib dropped out with an injury and Tom Brady bowed out in his now-yearly tradition. Brady has not appeared in a Pro Bowl since February 2005.

We’ll keep track of the two rosters when the draft special airs at 8 p.m. Check out the remaining pool of players below.
