The rich get richer ? I think the Patriots really helped their weak defense drafting Chandler Jones and Hightower. I think both of these players can step right in and have an impact. I also thought the Steelers got a steal drafting De Castro at 6-5, 316 lbs of solid muscle.
Pats moved up to get 2 very highly touted players without giving up either of their 2 second round picks. I also liked what the Rams did as they need a lot of players and they picked up a number of additional picks. They are not going to be a contender this year so they might as well build for the future.
I think Tannehill could turn out to be pretty decent, problem is hes a year at least, probably a couple years from being an impact player. The real problem for him is that NO team is willing to wait around for QBs to develop- they are out the door quickly. One poor rookie season is one thing, but they are quick to yank the chain in the second season- look at Gabbert.. if he struggles for the first half the year this season, people are calling him a bust and asking to bench him, and that's not a whole lot of time (one offseason) to improve. And Tannehill is more raw coming out than Gabbert... I think he could be good though.
I'm not that sure about Cleveland's draft. Drafting a rb with the 3 rd. pick is usually not a smart move unless that player turns out to be a Superstar. I think RB's are the easiest position to fill and often that position has a short longivity because of the wear and tear factor. They gave up a few later draft picks to move up 1 spot also ? Their other 1 st. round pick looks good but He's not only already 28 years old but drafting a QB in the first round is always kinda a gamble. Richardson looks great but I'm not positive that Redeye couldn't run for a few TD's behind that awesome Bama offensive line !:lolBIG:
