The Official 2010 NFL Draft Thread: Round 1

[SmootSmack]

So, a few thoughts on the draft and some posts in this thread:

-I think Clausen will be a solid NFL QB, but McShay has called it for a while saying he wouldn't be a 1st round pick (wonder if PFT will say anything about that)

-I get that the ND track record for QBs isn't great recently, but I can't remember the last time a Northwestern QB did anything in the pros. Let alone one with fewer than 20 career starts and fewer TDs than INTs

-Not surprised Spiller went top 10 (SPILLLLERRRR!!!!) but didn't really see him donning a Bills cap. It'll be fun to see Campbell hand off to Spiller next season

-I think our next "Marko Mitchell" (i.e. the diamond in the rough WR that Shanahan turns into the next Rod Smith) isn't on our roster yet, but maybe at the end of Saturday

-It looked like a trade for AH was close yesterday, but Skins held their ground and wouldn't settle

-Really surprised about Tebow going to Denver

-Not surprised that the Jags made another questionable move. That team badly needs a proven NFL vet running that team. Year after year they make really questionable round 1 decisions (although Alualu could end up being pretty decent)

-On a personal level, Thursday night primetime draft is kind of cool. On a professional level, it was a total pain in the ass

I wouldn't mind seeing AH moved, but VERY glad the Skins didn't settle. Did you get any sleep?

Listening to Shanahan's presser, I am most excited that he isn't going to "give up the boat" for any additional picks. We need to establish a baseline and go from there. Hopefully the Redskins FO will have a better name around the league, and with us fans now that they actually are acting like professionals who have been here before.

I hardly think MS keeps Colt around to keep the fan base happy.

Oh yeah, plenty of sleep. The grunt work from my end was done many many months ago for this weekend.

Don't rule out AH trade just yet. Long shot, but conversations are happening. Right now, Skins are doing a lot of listening.

It's no fun if I just tell you everything

It's a team with a high 2nd round pick, if we don't pull it off then it looks like we're not getting Brown either

Hey SS, thanks for giving us the heads-up on Trent Williams so many weeks ago.
