The first two picks in the NFL draft went as planned. It was said since before the evening began that the Colts would take Stanford quarterback, Andrew Luck, and that Washington would get Baylor quarterback Robert Griffin III. The Skins traded up to get him prior to the draft.
What surprised me in the first round was the Browns taking another quarterback so early after taking Texas QB, Colt McCoy in 2010. The Browns have indicated that they will start their new QB, Brandon Weenden over McCoy.
The defending super bowl champions, the New York Giants selected David Wilson, a running back out of Virginia TEch.
The runners up, New England Patriots traded their pick to Tampa Bay, who also took a running back, Doug Martin.
And most importantly, my packers took Nick Perry, a defensive end out of USC. Clay Matthews was taken out of USC three years ago in the first round by the Packers and that turned out great for them. Hopefully Perry can bring the same.
