Post a CommentAlso wanted to add that many analysts of the NFL Draft don't take into account the relationships between college and pro coaches. There is a reason why some NFL coaches take players from the same college team year in and year out. They trust the source.
The Browns had a very nice first day of drafting. They needed a big draft and they got one, a top OL and Quinn! Being a long time Pats fan I was suprised they got him, even with the Romeo-Weiss connection. Speaking of New England, very good pick with the safety and also setting themselves up for the future with the 49'ers first round choice next year. If there is any question the Patriots are not the best-managed team in the NFL, this draft just answered it.
Notice how many of those drafts are from EEELLLLLSSSSSSUUUUUU-way to break it down-particularly the draftees immediate impact on the team
