Round One of the NFL Draft

I would be completely amiss if the first mention doesn't go the the Denver Broncos who may have pulled a coup tonight or crippled their franchise for a half decade. Maneuvering through a myriad of trades they ultimated snagged D. Thomas WR and T. Tebow QB. In doing so they get a guy who is untimed in the 40 and position drills and a QB who many feel that belonged 1-3 rounds lower. Controversial for sure, but also extremely ballsy, they are placing the fate of their franchise on these two young men and if it works out for them, the potential is there for one of the most dominate QB-WR combinations in the NFL.

Next let me mock Jacksonville. This franchise will be moved within 3 years, tonight confirms they are too incompetent to own a team down there.

Most importantly the Saints. Patrick Robinson is a fast, physical, instinctive corner, he may even line up opposite Jabari Greer and push Porter inside, where he fits more naturally as a nickel. The pick isn't a terrible one but at first look its not at a position of need. With Kindle there I am surprised they didn't opt for an SLB and above average pass rusher.

What Robinson does give is the flexibility to push Jenkins to safety to replace sharper and a quality returner. This likely means that Roby will be out of a job next season.

Overall, I like the BPA approach and the defensive pick, but they absolutely must upgrade their front seven tomorrow or this draft will be a disappointment.
