Well, it's 11:10, and I have yet to update my blog for today. Ergo, I am going to lay out a few key picks/strategies that are likely to improve or hurt teams.
-> Kudos to the Redskins on bolstering their offence. In the second round alone, they drafted two good WRs (Malcolm Kelly and Devin Thomas) and a solid TE to pair with Cris Cooley in Fred Davis. Not only this, they provided another QB to battle with incumbent starter Jason Campbell in Colt Brennan. While many think he will be unsuccessful in the NFL, his numbers at Hawaii can't be ignored. Too bad Steve Spurrier and his run-and-gun offence are gone...
-> It's mind boggling that the Packers took two QBs in this draft. Note to Aaron Rodgers: PLAY YOUR BUTT OFF! His skills are surely being questioned by Packers brass, and they want to light a fire under his butt... metaphorically at least. Anywho, I think Brian Brohm was the most talented QB in the draft, especially in the middle of the second round.
-> How good do the Chiefs look now? They started the draft with 13, yes 13 picks. They ended up getting studs DT Glenn Dorsey, G Branden Albert and CB Brandon Flowers. Than, they come back in the third round and select RB Jamaal Charles to compete and split time with Larry Johnson. Wow, what a draft.
-> Speaking of good drafts, how smart do the Dolphins look for taking Jake Long. Not only did they draft his college QB (Chad Henne) but they also drafted another big lineman on the second day. Don't look now, but the Big Tuna could be making a push towards respectability, and fast.
-> How is it that every team in the NFC East bolstered their receiving corps except the Dallas Cowboys. I suppose the only logical explanation for the Boys is that Terry Glenn believes he can stay healthy for next season. Or, might there still be a trade coming for Big D?
-> How good did the Browns do, despite the fact their first pick was in round four? They took a solid LB in Beau Bell, who at 6'2, 248 could be the eventual replacement for Willie McGinest on the weak side. They drafted a solid TE in Martin Rucker to improve their already deadly offence. And they got a solid sleeper pick in DT Ahtyba Rubin. Good job.
Well, those are just some quick nuggets for you, and over the next week or so I will go through each division and critique each team's draft, and give grades. Should be fun, eh?
