Some NFL Draft - Round One - Thoughts

I'm still not convinced about Cam Newton.

Cincinnati taking AJ Green = bye bye Chad Ochocinco Johnson

The Atlanta Falcons gave up too much to trade up to the sixth pick.  This draft was deep enough with wide receivers, if they had waited, Jon Baldwin would have been available.  The Kansas City Chiefs took him with the 26th pick.

Detroit got a great player in NIck Fairley, who at one time was in the top three of every mock draft.  When he lines up next to Ndomukong Suh, it will be fun to watch.

Christian Ponder at 12?  What were you thinking Minnesota?  Trade down.  Take him in the late twenties. 

Tennessee, the Jake Locker pick at 8 was ballsy.  I hope it turns out to be a brilliant move.  But why did you pass on Gabbert?

The Cleveland Browns have many holes to fill.  They can do that now with the picks they have over the next two years.

To my Pittsburgh Steelers: Cameron Heyward is perfect for the team.  Aaron Smith is getting old and injury prone.  Heyward has football pedigree and is a big, intimidating man.  A very good pick at number 31.
