Hit the Jump for MY opinion on the picks
1 No Brainer
2 again, no brainer
3 bit of a reach but fits 3-4 need
4 a LOT of money invested in LB. They may now have best trio at LB. Had other pressing needs.
5 Jets gave up A LOT to get Sanchez, but they get (IMO) the best QB in the draft
6 Needed someone to protect Palmer got a hell of a LT
7 Clear reach. I love this kid, BUT Crabtree and Maclin available. Good ol Al Davis. . . smh
8 Monroe fell, but not too far. Jags shore up a shakey O Line.
9 Packers get the 3-4 NT they needed. He can also switch to DE in certain situations
10 Crabtree falls. He’s the new Adrian Peterson and Randy Moss. Best player that fell and will make everyone pay
11 Desperately needed a pass rusher and got one
12 Broncos now have 7 RB’s ummm. WTF! McDaniels is quickly making Pat Bowlen miss Shanahan
13 Redskins get perhaps the best pass rusher in draft
14 Saints needed help in secondary and get the new version of Antrel Rolle. CB/S hybrid
15 Got a young do it all LB that they needed. Could’ve went DB here
16 Bit of a reach. Bang or Boom type player. superb athlete. Hybrid 3-4 LB
17 Bucs Traded up to get QB. I think if they let him sit at least a year, he’ll be a damn good QB
18 Broncos get a good pass rushing hybrid type LB/DE they needed for their conversion to 3-4
19 Eagels trade up and FINALLY get a receiver. Watch out! (reminds me of a bigger DeSean Jackson)
20 Lions take BEST TE in draft. can block like a tackle and catch. Under-rated speed. great pick
21 Feel like the Browns reached for Alex Mack. But he’ll be a solid center for 10 yrs barring injury.
22 Vikings have PLAY MAKERS. Harvin, Peterson, and Berrian are threats to take it to the house every play.
23 Oher is kind of raw, but shouldn’t have fallen this far. Great pick
24 Falcons needed a DT bad, and get a great one in Peria Jerry. This means the rumor of a trade for Dorsey doesn’t happen
25 Dolphins get the best CB in the draft. Character aside, kid has skills
26 Clay Matthews stock rose quick. We’ll see if he is as good as advertised
27 Colts needed D. They take a RB. Who is very similar to Addai
28 Bills take a C. #1 center on a lot of boards. I think they could’ve taken Britton
29 Giants take a dynamic receiver. Not a deep threat but has “star” potential
30 Titans finally address the WR pos in 1st round. Britt shoulda went to Giants but Titans get a great WR they needed.
31 Beanie Wells is a better version of Hightower. I would’ve taken McCoy, cuz he’s a better receiver.
32 Hood is a solid DT. Do they want him as a 5 technique or NT?
this years first round was WEIRD and hard to guess. Hope these bad picks pan out.
