Everyone has a chance.
Everyone is mathematically eliminated from the postseason.
WELCOME TO DAY ONE OF THE NFL DRAFT!
The Detroit Lions ruined any first pick surprise. They signed quarterback, Matthew Stafford to a six-year, $81 million ($41.75 million guaranteed) contract. Stafford has been touted early as a "savior".
Matt Sanchez earned Big Apple billing as being the most sought after draftee. He found his new address at 40 Rock and Broadway as a New York Jet.
Cleveland Browns traded their #5 pick and kept going down, down, down. They chose to build with quantity, instead of quality.
Defensive linemen dominated the top ten.
Offensive linemen dominated 10-20.
Michael Crabtree, formerly a #2 overall pick, dropped to 10th. Crabtree became the possible, heir apparent to Jerry Rice.
So far, this draft lacked the electricity from past ones. Enjoy.
