All (or at least some) of my thoughts:- Like everyone else, the pick of Ted Ginn by the Dolphins at #9 was a bit perplexing. Brady Quinn's a pretty darn good QB prospect, and that's one thing they needed. Instead, they passed on him to get a great punt returner and slightly above average WR. I really do like Ginn, and the fact that they got John Beck in round 2 softens the suckiness of the pick some, but unless Cam Cameron knows something we don't, this was just perplexing.
- That first round was looooooooong. Do they really need 15 minutes between each pick? Really? Even reducing it to 12 minutes would help.
- Keyshawn Johnson on Adrian Peterson: "His character is extremely well." I have found out that I really dislike Keyshawn no matter what he's doing.
- Speaking of Peterson, got to take a look at the Vikings draft. I really, really liked it, just like Ragnarok, and the Norseman.. Adrian Peterson is a great pick in round 1... they went BPA instead of just drafting for need, and I couldn't be happier. In subsequent rounds they filled needs with guys with tremendous upside, such as with Sidney Rice and Marcus McCauley. I love it.
- The Lions might suck again, but with Mike Martz calling plays for an offense featuring Roy Williams, Calvin Johnson, and Mike Furrey at WR, they should be fun to watch.
- There was some thought that the Saints shouldn't have taken Meachem because they have other needs, but I liked the pick. I've said before I think Meachem is the 3rd best WR in the draft, so I think nabbing him at 30 makes the Saints offense just that much more potent.
- For the record, my QB rankings: JaMarcus Russell, Brady Quinn, John Beck, Trent Edwards, Drew Stanton.
What did you think about the Draft? What stuck out to you?

Of course you liked NO taking Meachem...you liked him before it was cool to like him...remember?

What did you think of the Pack's pick of Harrell?
Harrell was interesting.... I thought they'd go for someone like Bowe, Meachem, or Olsen. But assuming he is healthy and ready to play coming off the injury, he should be very good as a space eater in the middle, allowing the athletic LBs AJ Hawk and Nick Barnett to do their thing. Not a bad pick at all.
I really think that Peterson will end up being the best player to come out of the draft by far.
If I had to put money on it, I would also say that both Russell and Quinn have big chances to be busts.
Ginn will be like Hester for Chicago last year - possibly win several games for them on his own. Smart pick. Quinn wouldn't have been that way for 2 or 3 years maybe - if ever.
I feel like the only dolphins fan in the entire world who was totally ok with the Ginn pick.
I'm excited to see Beck play and despite being 26, I think he'll grow to become a damned fine QB.
The way to speed up the draft is to get Mike Tice involved again so that when his team runs the clock on their pick, all the succeeding teams will be forced to make their selections immediately in an effort to jump ahead a slot.
Haha... as long as its not Tice coming back for the Vikings, I'd be 100% behind that.
Back to that Harrell pick by the Pack...their last two drafts they have gone D...you think they are trying to send Favre a subtle message here? "Hey, thanks for all the good times, but we are trying to build something from scratch here and you are KILLING us."
I love how Cam Cameron justifies blowing the No. 9 pick on a cripple with "I have known the Ginn family for a long time." The Dolphins only draft friends of the family. Nice.
And honestly, I loved Keyshawn. Not even being sarcastic. Maybe it was just me, but I thought he was really good, and had some insightful stuff, especially about playing WR in the NFL. Maybe that is just me, though.
And why was McShay relegated to the little kids table? He is the best, better than Mel (although Mel did nail the first 7 picks in a row.)
Free Todd McShay!
I don't think they are showing Favre the door so much that they have realized their huge needs to Draft on the defensive side of the ball and that that is how teams build to win...look at the bears and ravens.
Defense really does win championships....or atleast get you to superbowls
michael bush to the raiders. steal. of. the. draft.
Agreed, ZLS.
Also, twins15, it seems you forgot to put Kevin Kolb at the top of your quarterback rankings. It's okay, Philadelphia forgives you.
I think the Bears got lucky getting Olsen at #31. Hardly ever do you get the best player at his position that low in the 1st round.
I still think Detroit should have traded down and accumulated mass picks. They already have 2 decent receivers.
Yeah, I was really hoping Olsen wouldn't fall to Chicago... just adds another playmaker to the offense.
I actuallly thought chigago would trade up to take quinn, and he will be a better QB than russell. mark it down
