Ok, quick NFL Draft update time:
- Detroit will continue to be a horrible team, even with the acquisition of Matthew Stafford. I'm no general manager, but I would have gone the route of the '08 Dolphins and beefed up my line. It doesn't matter how good your quarterback is if you can't protect him.
- The New York Jets gave up a ton of role players (bench riders) to move to the number 5 spot from Cleveland to get an opportunity they couldn't pass on, Mark Sanchez. Sanchez has a whole year of college football under his belt, so lets hope he got in one year what other pros needed to get in at least three.
- Al Davis is making a bid for the 2012 Olympics. His track team should be the most elite competitors in the 100 meter dash. Once again Al Davis proves he can pick top football prospects like Ryan knows how to pick girls that aren't blonde, dumb and annoying.(oc) And with the seventh pick in the 2009 NFL draft the Oakland Raiders select....... wait for it.... wait for it..... there's still plenty of good people left on the draft... they need receivers, defensive backs.... who will they choose........ Darrius Heyward-Bey. What? The speediest receiver at the combine but hands like Edward Scissorhands. Most people had him projected as a second or third rounder. Mean while the guy who single handily stole the Heisman from Colt McCoy, Michael Crabtree, hadn't been picked yet.
- Crabtree was still destined for the bay area, with the 10Th overall pick, San Francisco got a steal and landed a receiver that compares himself to TO, Randy Moss, and Larry Fitzgerald. Now if they could only find somebody that can actually throw to him.
- Ohio State Star Beanie Wells landed with a team that probably doesn't need him. Wells was a standout in high school at Akron, Ohio and was highly recruited, ultimately landing with Ohio State, where in my opinion he had a decent but not outstanding career.
- Mr. Irrelevant went to Kicker Ryan Succop out of South Carolina to Kansas City.
