Draft Day
Yesterday could have been the craziest 1st round in the NFL draft history. Nobody knew beforehand who would go #1. The Panthers selected Cam Newton for the 1st pick. Von Miller went 2nd to the Broncos. Marcell Dareus was taken by the Bills. Three Quarterbacks were picked in the top 10. Blaine Gabbert went 10th to the Jaguars and Jake Locker surprisingly, went 8th to the Titans. The big surprise was how Christian Ponder went 12th to Vikings. ESPN had a poll on what you would grade each pick, the Vikings got an F. Twelve defensive lineman got picked, but Da'Quan Bowers, who at one point was #1 on people's big boards, did not get selected in the 1st round. A steal for the Giants was getting Prince Amukamara. They did miss out on a great player in Akeem Ayers who would have been good for them because they are weak at the Linebacker spot. There are lots of surprises still ahead. With all the craziness in Round 1, who knows what Round 2 has in store for us.
