New York ? Kyle Orton certainly looked like a first-round NFL Draft pick when he was tossing touchdowns and leading Purdue to a 5-0 start.

Then injuries derailed Orton’s breakthrough season, and instead of competing with Alex Smith and Aaron Rodgers to be the first quarterback taken, he ended up being the first quarterback selected Sunday on the second day of the draft.

Orton went to the Bears with the fifth pick of the fourth round and was the seventh of 14 quarterback chosen overall, not counting players who’ll change positions such as Matt Jones.

“I thought maybe I would slide maybe to the third round at the latest and really thought I would go somewhere in the second,” he said. “I’m really not too worried about it.”

At least he got drafted. Oklahoma quarterback Jason White, the Heisman Trophy winner in 2003, didn’t.

Matt Cassel, who was the backup to two Heisman Trophy winners — Carson Palmer and Matt Leinart — at USC and never started a game in college was picked in the seventh round by New England.

The San Diego Chargers picked 5-foot-7 running back Darren Sproles, Kansas State’s career rushing leader, in the fourth round.

Oklahoma cornerback Antonio Perkins, who owns the NCAA records for punt-return touchdowns in a game with three and a career with eight, went to Cleveland with the second pick of the fourth round.
