A very interesting draft that has caused me to completly change which teams I like.
1st overall pick: Andrew Luck. Everybody has seen this move from months ago. He has the arm to lead these Colts back up from their 2-14 season, but I don't see them getting to the playoffs this year.
2nd overall pick: Robert Griffin the 3rd. He is a great player to get as the 2nd pick. He has the speed and strength of Cam Newton, but he has a better squad around him that can allow him to have the chance to make the playoffs before Andrew Luck. The problem for me is: as an Eagles fan, I have to start worrying about the Eagles season because they need to come toghether as a team to win this divison against teams like the Super Bowl Champs, New York Giants, the team with Robert Griffin the 3rd, Washington Redskins, and the team with a dream with Romo to fight back to the top, the Dallas Cowboys.
30 minuties before the NFL Draft the Browns made a trade that pretty much blew my mind to pieces. The Browns traded to get the 3rd overall pick in the draft, and they gave up the 4th overall pick in the draft and gave up a 4th round, a 5th round, and a 7th round pick. Might be the stupidist trade for the Browns in NFL history, but I have to give the Vikings credit for there great move. 3rd overall pick: Trent Richardson. The Browns just killed their draft with those moves. Trent Richardson is too slow to play HB and has been way over exaggerated. These Browns are going to fall to pieces with moves like this!
4th overall pick: Matt Kalil. A very expected move for them some I'm very excited to see them get this guy. They can get some more protection for Ponder, so this move can save Ponder a few hits next season.
Another move happened between the Buccaneers and the Jaguars, so the Jaguars can move up to get the 5th overall pick in the draft which will lead to them getting Justin Blackmon which may not be the best move in their prerdicament. They have Blaine Gabbert at QB, and I thought they could use a OT to protect Gabbert and his running game, but it does help give him more confidence in his passing game. 5th overall pick: Justin Blackmon. He can help Gabbert's confidence, but he can't help the Jaguars get toward the playoffs any faster.
Another move happened right after that! The Cowboys traded to get the 6th overall pick to the Rams, which as I said earlier will lead to the Eagles getting into a even tighter spot. The Cowboys gave up the 14th overall pick, their 2nd round pick, and their 4th round pick. 6th overall pick: Morris Claibourne. One word for any team that has a game against the Cowboys this year... FEAR! This will cause all teams to get fear. The Cowboys were one game out of making the playoffs this year, and Claibourne getting picked by the Cowboys will make the chances stronger to make it to the playoffs.
7th overall pick: Mark Barron. A very early place to get a safety, but you can get him up there at safety to play with some of the best WR like Marques Colston and Roddy White.
8th overall pick: Ryan Tannehill. A very expected move. This guy can get the job done, and he can probably keep of with Andrew Luck and the Colts with the weapons he has with the Dolphins, but I don't think they can keep up with Robert Griffin the 3rd with the Redskins or Tom Brady with the Patriots.
9th overall pick: Luke Kuechly. I'm a tiny bit upset with this pick. I was pleading for them to take somebody else like Janorius Jenkins because I was hoping for the Eagles to get this pick to save their LB squad.
10th overall pick: Stephon Gilmore. Not even on my list. I doubted myself when I was looking at him beacause he was under the covers, and he didn't seem that popular, but he did a great job at the combine, and I believe he probably deserves a pick like that.
1st 10 was a nutty start, but it is only the beggining.
