Bears getting Cutler for a backup QB and a 1st rounder that they would waste.

crabtree is obvious but I'll give another I like alot.

Michael Oher by the Ravens at pick #23. The guy was all sec the last 2 years and an all american last year. And If you heard his interview after he got drafted the kid sounds like a true man. It was one of the best interviews I've ever heard. Talked about how Balt. won't be disappointed and that they just got a player for the next 10+ years, how he won't let them down. And how he will work harder than anybody. Kid is a great story and he has a great attitude.

I am a huge Niner fan and Crabtree was a steal at where he was drafted but I still think it was a crap pick for that team. They want to run all the time so they draft a first round WR? With needs on the OL? Bad choice, but it's still a nice value pick.

Also Ozzie Newsome is probably the best talent evaluator in the NFL, so I trust he knows what he is doing when he picked this kid.

New England.

Get solid players in 2nd and 3rd round.

No stars, but no outlandish 1st round rookie contracts, so they can cut ANY rookie at anytime without a major cap hit.

Stockpile more picks for next year.

Save money to bring in free agents like Jason Taylor or sign their own to extensions.

Can still trade for Julius Peppers or any high cap player because no rookie is going to get a $5 million, $10 million or $15 million signing bonus

The Bengals grabbing Rey Maualuga as the 6th pick in the 2nd round (38 overall) looks like a steal to me.

Jags taking Tiquan Underwood late in the 7th round. His numbers were down this year because Mike Teel sucked it up early on, but two years ago he had 65 receptions for 1100yds and he dominated almost every category at the combine. He was clocked running a 4.34 in the 40 a few weeks ago. Just needs to bulk up a little and do some strength training and should be a nice pick for Jax.
