Eight trades, two players selected from Boise St. (Shea McClellin and Doug Martin) for the first time ever, two players selected from Notre Dame (Michael Floyd and Harrison Smith) for the first time since 1994, Dontari Poe's hair, Fletcher Cox's man hug, Melvin Ingram's choreographed handshake with Goddell?! Oh yeah, and Seattle's brass just made it a little more cloudy in gloomy in Seattle with its selection of Bruce Irvin from West Virginia (good luck with that). As we learned yesterday, any effort to predict the trades in the draft were proven futile so this draft will not try to do so. This draft is so deep that there will still be great values in round 3 and 4 so do not fret if your team has not peformed up to snuff quite yet.
| TEAM | PLAYER | POSITION | SCHOOL | COMMENTARY |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| STL | CORDY GLENN | OG/T | GEORGIA | Glenn can play guard or tackle and the Rams need both |
| IND | COBY FLEENER | TE | STANFORD | Luck reunited with Fleener and it feels so good! |
| BAL(from MIN) | COURTNEY UPSHAW | DE/OLB | ALABAMA | Needed a pass rusher and got one |
| DEN(from TB) | JEREL WORTHY | DT | MICHIGAN ST. | Biggest need and good value |
| CLE | STEPHEN HILL | WR | GEORGIA TECH | Gives new QB Brandon Weeden a deep threat. Great value, as well. |
| JAX | LAVONTE DAVID | OLB | NEBRASKA | Can't go wrong with a tackle magnet here on a team that couldn't tackle at all. |
| STL(from WSH) | RYAN BROYLES | WR | OKLAHOMA | Fellow Sooner Bradford should be pretty happy with this pick. |
| CAR | KENDALL REYES | DT | CONNECTICUT | Versatile and fills a need in the middle of the D-Line |
| BUF | JONATHAN MARTIN | OT | STANFORD | Draft faller fills a huge need for the Bills |
| MIA | RUEBEN RANDLE | WR | LSU | How bout a nice, talented receiver to go with Tannehill. Especially since Brandon Marshall is gone. |
| SEA | ALSHON JEFFERY | WR | SOUTH CAROLINA | Big possession receiver to compliment Sidney Rice and Doug Baldwin |
| KC | JEFF ALLEN | OG/T | ILLINOIS | Can play guard or tackle. Will probably play guard for KC |
| STL | TRUMAINE JOHNSON | CB | MONTANA | Great value on a lesser-known CB talent |
| PHI | MYCHAL KENDRICKS | ILB | CALIFORNIA | Good tackler to pair with DeMeco Ryans in the middle of the defense. |
| NYJ | BRIAN QUICK | WR | APPALACHIAN ST | Not as Quick as his name suggests, but is a nice, big target for Tim Tebow?yeah, I said it. |
| NE(from OAK) | JANORIS JENKINS | CB | NORTH ALABAMA | 2nd best cover skills in the draft, but has serious baggage. NE is a perfect fit. |
| SD | AMINI SILATOLU | G | MIDWESTERN ST. | Fills a huge need after Kris Diehlman was forced to retire. |
| CHI | ZACH BROWN | OLB | NORTH CAROLINA | Great value pick on a burner at LB. |
| PHI(from ARZ) | KIRK COUSINS | QB | MICHIGAN ST. | Philly likes the guy and Vick needs a legitimate backup not named Vince Young. |
| TEN | PETER KONZ | C | WISCONSIN | Tennessee needs a center, and Konz is the best in the draft. |
| CIN | BOBBY MASSIE | OT | MISSISSIPPI | Has first-round talent, but needs a little development. |
| DET | CASEY HAYWARD | CB | VANDERBILT | Smart corner with great anticipation to make up for average height/weight/speed |
| ATL | VINNY CURRY | DE | MARSHALL | Needs a pass rusher and Curry was a very productive one. |
| PIT | DEVON STILL | DT | PENN ST. | Many thought would be a first-round pick, but will be groomed as Casey Hampton's replacement |
| DEN | BROCK OSWEILER | QB | ARIZONA ST. | Insurance policy for Peyton Manning who needs time to learn and who better to learn from than Peyton Manning. |
| HOU | MIKE ADAMS | OT | OHIO ST. | Big time draft faller finds a home protecting Matt Schaub. |
| GB | LAMAR MILLER | RB | MIAMI | An explosive threat for an already explosive offense. |
| BAL | ANDRE BRANCH | DE | CLEMSON | Will most likely play 3-4 DE in run situations. Direct replacement for Jarrett Johnson who departed in free agency. |
| SF | KELECHI OSEMELE | OG | IOWA ST. | SF fills its second-biggest need at guard in the second after filling its biggest need with a WR in the first |
| NE | BRANDON TAYLOR | S | LSU | NE is using its picks wisely this year to improve what was a terrible defense. |
| NYG | ZEBRIE SANDERS | OT | FLORIDA ST. | Beattie was disappointing. Need to upgrade the Tackle spot for Eli Manning. |
