Well that was interesting.
The first round of primetime NFL draft ran through, and a lot of teams made a lot of moves to get better. Some quick highlights:
- The Lions made an upgrade at DT with Ndamukong Suh at the second pick, and got themselves a new running back with the 30th, Jahvid Best.
- The Packers upgraded the Offensive Line with Brian Bulaga from Iowa. Mr. Bulaga, enjoy the special time you'll spend with Julius Peppers.
- The Vikings traded themselves out of the first round. They're trying to make some solid upgrades, and compete now if Mr. Favre comes back.
- Only two safeties were taken in the first round. The Bears may not need to trade down to get a good one.
- The Broncos used the pick they got for Cutler to trade down, acquire a lot of picks, and then roll those picks back up into a first round pick to take Tim Tebow. (They also got Demayrius Thomas)
- Tebow is the only one of the holy triumvirate (Tebow, Clausen, McCoy) who was drafted round 1.
There was some more, and go check here to see the round 1 recap.
See you tomorrow, you crazy kids.

Nice Bulaga comment.
The guy has to deal with a good group of ends in the North. Sorry, kid, you’re in for some pain…
He won't even start this year.
They’ve got two okay tackles and they’re obviously trying to win right now.
In the past 10 years, just four team owners have not paid a luxury tax and are not on pace to pay one this year: Donald Sterling, Jerry Reinsdorf, Chris Cohen (Golden State), Bob Johnson (Charlotte).
Two owners’ teams averaged an operating income of over +$10 million per year while their teams have lost over 60% of their games: Donald Sterling and Jerry Reinsdorf.
I'll bet Bulaga starts at RT by the end of the year

Good job Donkyes !!!!!! You trade ...
….. Jay Cutler and Brandon Marshall for Tim Tebow and D. Thomas ????!!?!? I’ll take that all day long ! Tebow is a gimmick and will never be a full time player and Thomas is not Marshall period .
As for other surprises Taylor Mays and Jimmy Clausen fall out of round one . The Donkeys should have gotten Clausen and somebodys gonna get one heck of a value pick outta Mays in the second . Maybe we trade up ?? Na , the draft is falling pretty good for us so lets just stay where we are and take the best player there .

Don't forget
Knox, Ayers, and who was their ‘09 3rd rounder again? I’m sorry, but I believe Tebow is going to bust as a QB. Good luck with that release and horrible fundamentals.

Tebow seems like a great guy - character wise
But it’s gonna take him about 2 years to make the transition. Who knows, maybe he’ll be a solid QB some day…
I see some wildcat/single wing in Denver's near future
And some more concussions for Tebow.
Just to get this in to set the stage for the draft tommorrow.
Three teams with needs at Safety pick in the top 8 tommorrow, so we should know if it’s even in the realm of possibility to trade into the second to get one worthy of trading up for.
If Mays or Allen get past Eagles/Browns/Dolphins then it’s within the realm of possibility, with the most likely position either being the Pats 47, or the Panthers 48, as the 49ers at 49 have a safety need as well, and if only one them are available there, they’ll probably grab them.

Browns
Probably will be looking at QB with their pick since Clausen or McCoy should be available and they have absolutely nobody for that pick.
One would hope so...
At least for our sake.

Burnett is a favourite
for 2nd round with a lot of Steelers fans.
How do I break it to the cat that since he has been declawed, the rabbit he sees in our backyard would kick his sorry butt?
by Cold_Old_Steelers_Fan on Apr 23, 2010 9:09 AM CDT up reply actions
No!!!
At this point, I just want to see the Bears get a quality FS (disclaimer- one that has played FS and not SS or any other position).

not fair
you re-signed Ryan Clark! you don’t get Burnett too!
Chuck Norris once met Dick Butkus and had a very odd feeling come over him. Chuck later realized it was fear

heh
People like Clark but think our lack of depth at S is a real concern especially after losing Troy last year.

You come to a Bears site and mention YOUR lack of depth at FS?

Tebow will be much better than Clausen...
Can’t wait to actually have a pick. Ill take Cutler all day long over any QB in the last 2 drafts.

Tebow would be much better than Clausen
at H-back. At QB…it’s anybody’s guess.

Which one ran a pro-offense again with inferior talent?
Hint- it wasn’t the God fearing one.

I think Clausen is the most Pro ready QB in the draft
But I think in time Tebow will be a really good QB

I think the Vikes will grab Claussen at 33
Too much value and he’d be better served to sit behind Favre (if he comes back) and if Favre didn’t come back then he’d be an upgrade or equal to TJ.
"I was interviewing George Halas and I asked him who is the greatest running back you ever saw. And he said, 'That would be Red Grange.' And I asked him if Grange was playing today, how many yards do you think he'd gain. And he said, 'About 750, maybe 800 yards.' And I said, 'Well, 800 yards is just okay.' He sat up in his chair and he said, 'Son, you must remember one thing. Red Grange is 75 years old.' - Chris Berman

I agree
and the queens said they wouldnt take a qb in round 1 well… they didnt take anyone lol Clausen may be the pick indeed i think he has bust written all over them i think Colt Mccoy will turn out to be the best of these QBs

id
rather have clausen over tebow and mccoy..kstate did some mean things to mccoy his freshman year. that and his injury prone shoulder doesnt add up too nicely. if it were me, i just trade for Orton..he may not have a cannon arm but he is a game manager and a hell of a team player. plus that neck beard is just too awesome..i might barf if i see him in purple or green though.
Bear down Chicago
almost certain to take Clausen if he's there
and they will be high-fiving each other like nobody’s business if they do. They’re picking at 34, though…I’m guessing there are a lot of teams talking to the Rams about pick 33 tonight. Considering how many holes the Rams have to fill, they should definitely think about trading down (KC with the #36 and #50 could be the best option, and I’m sure they would be interested in Clausen as well.)
by PrincetonCubs on Apr 23, 2010 12:28 AM CDT up reply actions
Yeah 34, I knew that, thanks for correcting me.
I could definitely see a team that likes Claussen to try to move up to the Rams spot to get him because there will be a fear that Claussen could be gone when the Vikes pick. Good for Claussen not going to NY because he’d have been waiting a LONG time.

Who the hell decided to draft Tebow...
At least McDaniel’s offense has a lot of screens and short passes so Tebow will feel right at home since that is all he ever did in Florida. Except better athletes are in the NFL especially on the Defense so they won’t break a ton of tackles and get a score like they did in Florida.

donkeys win again
by picking tebow. this pick will be about as useful as that maurice clarett guy from a couple years ago. from dropping a talented qb and wr in two years to engineering one of the greatest regular season chokejobs in nfl history last season to this pick…just wow. moving in the right direction denver, good jorb. although the thomas pick should pan out; he’ll be able to help right away. i bet tebow and quinn will get along like oil and water
i hope clausen gets picked up by someone outside our division. looking forward to seeing our team participate today (please pick FS or OL)

Last season wasn't a choke job for Denver.
They were just playing over their heads to start the year. They weren’t that good.
In the past 10 years, just four team owners have not paid a luxury tax and are not on pace to pay one this year: Donald Sterling, Jerry Reinsdorf, Chris Cohen (Golden State), Bob Johnson (Charlotte).
Two owners’ teams averaged an operating income of over +$10 million per year while their teams have lost over 60% of their games: Donald Sterling and Jerry Reinsdorf.
Losing 8 out of 10
can easily be considered a “choke job” no matter the circumstances.

indeed
the icing was the season finale…blowout loss to the chiefs of all teams. it is almost comparable to 69 cubs in terms of general crapping-the-bed. didn’t the coach bench their best player before getting blown out too?
by reefermadness3 on Apr 23, 2010 10:51 AM CDT up reply actions
Marshall was benched
cause of his practice behaviors, and he had a hamstring injury as well. It was a big story here in Denver.

Oh, I quite like it when they lost to a last-gasp pass by that yardstick of all things quarterbacky… JaMarcus Russell.

how much more embarrassing can it be than to lose to that guy? it’s like the 2nd coming of ryan leaf minus the jerk personality.

BREAKING NEWS!!!!
At the beginning of the draft my wife made a killer observation, she blurted out Mel Kiper has bad hair and I almost choked on my Pepsi.
In other news she changed the channel when the Ditka Coors commercial came on to Police Women of Maricopa County on TLC…. in related news I’m looking for a good divorce lawyer. ;)

Mort on ESPN radio
stated that brady quinn not kyle orton will be the QB of denver next year…..Mentioned that it is bizarre that they drafted tebow with quinn being targeted as the guy by mcd during the offseason….tebow will most likely only be used for gimmick plays in 10 and will be groomed for at least 2 seasons before seeing any real time….
said det is turning the team around with the picks they have made lately (suh and best last night) that they may improve greatly next season (not playoffs but 7 maybe 8 wins)….

If Minnesota gets Clausen, OMG.
I mean, it will be a bit before he really makes it, but with that RB and those WR? Wowza.

Unless what Gruden said in the QB camp is true and Clausen starts playing like Ryan Leaf.

With the draft/off season Detroit has had
The NFC North is becoming a very tough division.
It may be the best in the NFC.
better than nfc east?
our division is a lot closer to that than in recent memory. unless favre doesn’t come back and minnesota begins it’s inevitable slide towards mediocrity.
i hope the curse for detroit sticks this year especially to suh. although it’d be almost nice to see them not suck it up for a change.
