In the spirit of the phenomenon that is live-blogging, and in taking advantage of it’s current, and likely fleeting popularity, Blog Down, Chicago Bears will be live-blogging the first day of the 2009 NFL Draft — well, actually, twittering.

We’re inviting all Bears fans, Bears bloggers, NFL Draft enthusiasts, and people with an abundant amount of time on their hands — in that order — to follow along and put their two cents in via our Twitter page: http://twitter.com/blogdown. Because, let’s face it: there’s a lot of damn time to waste between picks, and watching Todd McShay and Mel Kiper bicker loses most, if not all, of its entertainment value around pick four.

The live-twitter will begin Saturday, April 25th at 1:30 pm CST, or about an hour and a half before the draft begins.
