- Redskins started to shore their line drafting Williams from Oklahoma. His athleticism pairs well with the running game I'd expect Shanahan to espouse.
- Congratulations to the Denver Broncos for drafting the 2nd best WR in the draft (as opposed to Dex Bryant) and a fullback in the first round (Tim Tebow). Congratulations to the Tim Tebow team, for making him appear to be a serviceable QB. Did Denver lose his tape from the Senior Bowl? Performing well, with an abbreviated throwing motion, in a workout is the equivalent of hitting it well on the driving range. It rarely transitions to the course. Once he is facing a rush, and is forced to move in the pocket, he'll revert to his natural (long) motion, which does not afford enough time to deliver before succumbing to the oncoming rush. Denver needs to develop an excellent running game to give him any chance to succeed.
- The Detroit Lions are building an entertaining team. Bradford, Suh, Best are great faces for the franchise.
- Jimmy Clausen (still in free-fall) has a huge chip on his shoulder. A Drew Brees'esque chip. Time will tell if he uses it to positively motivate his development. I expect him to go to the Vikings @ 34 or the Chefs @ 36.
- The draft on Thursday night was novel, but I'll miss the late Friday scuttlebutt leading up to a Friday draft. I remember the breathless Ed Werder coverage when the Texans chose to draft Mario Williams over Reggie Bush.
- Loved the Make A Wish kid announcing the Steelers pick.
