    First Day Analysis: Rounds 1-2

    A lot of action in these first two rounds, the following is strictly my opinion.

    Best Defensive Pick: Assassins
    At it again Erie picks up the most NFL ready LB in this draft. Johnson is a monster tackler, 129 tackles his junior year then 1 better his senior season this guy plays sideline to sideline.

    Best Offensive Pick: Norsemen
    Braylon Edwards.......what else is there to say, kid has it all.

    Best Sleeper: Bushwackers
    Say what you will but I love the David Pollack pick, this guy is a workhorse and is the type of athlete that maybe just to small to be an impact DE in the NFL but could turn out to be an "Urlacheresque" type LB.

    Most Help: Wookies
    Grabbing both Alex Smith and Marcus Spears on the first day, I dont believe these two fellows will have great first years but in 2+ these picks could be huge cornerstones in the future.

    Best 1st Round: Outlaws
    Picking up Benson and Big Mike Williams in the first round provides the Outlaws with 2 more potential problems for opposing teams in the future and adds to an already elite WR corps.

    Best 2nd Round: Playas
    Grabbing Carlos Rogers after 22 picks was a steal.

    Best 1st day: Tarpons
    This one almost got by me, Traded away thier first rounder for 3 picks next year and still wound up with a 1st round calibur CB. Very nice moves.

    Based on skill/team needs.

    I took Edwards.




    For all the education and practice each of us undergoes, the achievment of mastery is ultimately the outcome of a personal quest for understanding.

    Right and thats important to note, im not saying anyone made bad picks, just weeding through them all was very tough to analyze who i thought did best. It was a great 1st day for most everyone.

    I'll take that trade anyday, Clayton is goign to be awesome. Also with as many draft picks I had this year it should compensate for next year.

    Here's how I would rate my draft:

    1st (#2) Derrick Johnson, LB, Texas: Overrated, can't tackle, isn't a big play LB
    1st (#19) Thomas Davis, S/LB, Georgia: Overrated, can't cover, isn't a big play S and won't do much better @ LB

    4th (#19) Craphonso Thorpe, WR, Fla. State: Overrated, too small, too weak, isn't a big play WR

    5th (#2) Marion Barber III, RB, Minnesota: Overrated, slow, injury-ridden, inexperienced, not a big play RB
    5th (#4) Chris Canty, DE, Virginia: Overrated, injury-ridden, not a big play DE

    Overall: good

    I can't wait to have Brown on my roster. I was surprised he fell to #8. This guy's gonna run wild on defenses. Had to pass on the CB's, I was hoping to get Marlin Jackson, but ended up with Justin Miller who I like.
