Upon Further Review

After the first day of the class, here are my first day winners and losers:

Winners:

1. Seahawks - I love this draft for them. They had two picks after nabbing the Broncos 1st round pick last year and landed most people's top left tackle in Okung, at no. 6, and Earl Thomas, a top ten talent, at no. 14. Fits needs on both sides of the ball and great values.

2. Cowboys - Traded the no. 27 and a 3rd rounder for no. 24 and a 4th rounder to get Dez Bryant. As much as I don't like to give Jerry Jones and the Cowboys any love, this was a really good move. Bryant is the elite wide receiver prospect in this class and a great value. I'm not as worried about the "character issues" of his contact with Deion. Randy Moss had character issues too, worse than Bryant's.

4. Packers - The cheeseheads had Bryan Bulaga, projected as high as no. 5, fall right into their laps at no. 23. Offensive line is definitely the top need for this organization, especially considering how many times pro bowl quarterback Aaron Rodgers ended up on the ground. This also feels like a good organizational fit between player and team.

5. Lions (Suh @ no. 2), Buccaneers (McCoy @ no. 3), and Chiefs (Berry @ no. 5) - They picked who people generally thought they were going to pick, but these are great players and picks. Lions did well with Jahvid Best in trading up to no. 30 as well.

Also liked: Raiders (did I say the Raiders?) - Rolando McClain @ no. 8, 49ers - Anthony Davis @ no. 11 and Mike Iupati @ no. 17, Titans - Derrick Morgan @ no. 16, Pittsburgh - Maurkice Pouncey @ no. 18, and Bengals - Jermaine Gresham @ no. 21.

Losers:

1. Jimmy Clausen - The only thing going for him today is that he didn't choose to be in New York, because he would need to extend his stay another night. Rumored to be in the top ten, considered by the Rams for the no. 1 overall pick, and plummets out of the first round.

2. Jaguars - They took Tyson Alualuwho? I haven't even heard of this guy, and that's saying something. After doing some research, it appears as though his highest projection was at the end of the first round, I hadn't seen him that high anywhere that I had looked before. Needless to say, the Jaguars are looking rather suspicious here. My guess is that they were so shocked that the Bills took CJ Spiller (whom they were rumored to like) that they didn't know what to do and at last finally just said Alualu? Speaking of ....

3. Bills - Nothing against CJ Spiller, but he's the best pick for the Bills? With all of their needs and no quarterback? This could look great if they harken back to the Chargers draft in 2001, Tomlinson in the first and Drew Brees at the beginning of the second. If the Bills can get Clausen... and pray.... maybe. Too many holes here, but not the kind that CJ Spiller's looking for.

4. Rams - They got their "franchise quarterback" at the top pick, what's not to like? Well, I'm not sold on Bradford for one. The second thing for me is obviously a hindsight thing, but if they were seriously considering Jimmy Clausen with the no. 1, which granted could probably be a smokescreen, he is now sitting where they are drafting at the top of the 2nd round. I just think there was a lot more risk in drafting Bradford than a Suh or McCoy.

5. Broncos - I'm still confused as to everything they did today with the four trades they made. In terms of actual picks, I'm actually a little torn. I don't mind either of their picks per say, but I don't necessarily like where they were drafted. Demaryius Thomas has a lot of upside (DANGER), but I think Dez Bryant is more NFL-ready and was still on the board. I don't hate on Tebow as much as some of the "experts" but they gave up a lot to move up farther then they probably needed to. Maybe the other trades add up to making this better, but it was too much work to figure it out. Josh McDaniels is going to live or die with this Tebow pick, I will say that.

It'll be interesting to see how the rest of it shakes out and how teams build on Day 1. The biggest question of course is where will the QBs, Jimmy Clausen and Colt McCoy, go? I expect some trades being made overnight to get higher in the second round to possibly land one of these guys. We shall see!
