What We Learned and Who Fell/Why

What we learned? (Who is move-able?)

1. The picks traded for Brady Quinn and the Tebow selection mean that Brady Quinn projects as a career backup in the NFL

2. The selection of C.J. Spiller means that Marshawn Lynch should be packing his bags for a new stadium

3.The non-inclusion of Darren Sproles or Shawne Merriman in the Miami (Ryan Matthews) deal means that San Diego isn’t quite as talented as it wants to be.  Larry English and Jacob Hester aren’t as advanced as they could be. . . It also could mean that Miami isn’t quite a playoff team yet

4. Jacksonville didn’t do their due diligence. . . They could’ve gotten both Alaulau and Tebow for the value of their 10^th pick.

5. Osi Umenyoria is on the block, though it isn’t being said.

6. Josh McDaniels thinks he has it figured out. McDaniels manipulated the draft board around the idea of selecting 2 of Tebow, Demariyus Thomas, and Maurkice Pouncey. He did it perfectly. These guys are all projects with immense upside, looks like he thinks he is the next Belicheck, no idea where he learned that skill set.

7.  The Rams may not have it all figured out.  Reports were that the Rams considered Bradford, Suh, McCoy or Jimmy Clausen as the top overall pick.  While the first 3 went right off the bat, Clausen is still available the day later. Why does this matter? Because Mike Holmgren offered his first rd pick with most of their picks this year and some next year for Bradford at #1. If the Rams evaluated Clausen that high, they should call Holmgren now, get all those picks, and take Clausen, who they would’ve rated just slightly lower than Bradford.

8. The fallen first round talents show that tape and character are major deciding factors
