First Day Analysis: Rounds 1-2

[Devin]

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.

[Ebenezer]

I took Edwards.

[Devin]

oh right sorry, im tired lol.

[L.A. Playa]

nice read hard to say there where any bad picks on day 1

I would have to say the move I made by giving SPAZ my 1st round pick this year for his 1,2 and ,3rd next year!!!!!!

[L.A. Playa]

I would have to say the move I made by giving SPAZ my 1st round pick this year for his 1,2 and ,3rd next year!!!!!!

That was a great trade for you

[Devin]

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.

[L.A. Playa]

will be interesting 7 months from now to revisit the draft and see who got lucky and or knew what they where doing

[Devin]

yeah thats always cool to see. Course then we will see which GM's did well overall.

[tampabay25690]

That was a great trade for you

Thanks, I think so as well for me.

[Devin]

Tampa you made a great trade and still got a first round CB, brilliant day for you as well dude.

[Canadian'eh!]

Overall i couldn't be happier with my draft. Got the players I wanted AND addressed my biggest needs.

[Devin]

yeah everyone had solid 1st days, you had to try to screw up this one.

[The Spaz]

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.

[R. Rich]

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
