Day one winners and losers

I really like what Detroit did. Millen may have saved his job with what he and Mooch did this year. And for a team that didn't really move around, I like the picks that the Cardinals made.

NE did well as usually. Cedric Cobb could be a great pro.

Ariz- Green's first 3 picks were stellar, and then made smart picks Sunday
Det- 2 future stars on Off and a couple great def guys
SF- agree they got a ton of good players
Jax- great first day, weird Sunday picks though
Tenn- several great pickups- scarey Def line and Troupe
NE- great draft- one of the best

also like Wash, but the OT picks confused me a little, and i liked Minn and Oak, but didn't like too many of their picks Sun

I think the Lions, the Falcons, and Tennessee did the best by far.

I think that the Chargers made a mistake. They should have traded the #1 overall to the Giants for what they gave them for Manning. Then traded it down again to the Texans at #10. The Steelers wanted rivers and there's a chance someone could jump up and grab a QB, but you'd have Ben or Rivers fall to you.

The Texans wanted Sean Taylor bad. I'm glad the above scenario didn't happen, but if I were in SD's place I woulda done that.

I'd say the Chargers pulling next year's #1 out of the Giants made their draft. They got the QB they wanted, and the first round pick of a team that will likely be starting a rookie behind a line that gave up 44 sacks last year. Look for the Chargers to have two high picks next year, as both Schottenheimer and Coughlin struggle in improved divisions.

but we don't know with complete certainty that the trade was complete when the giants drafted rivers. it might have been the giants saying, "hey, we've got your guy plus a couple other picks if u'll give us the rights to manning." sure that would have been a risk if san diego declined but then ny might have been able to also work out a deal with pittsburgh cuz it wasn't a sure thing for rotheslisberger to slip to #11.
