Team: Sacramento Kings
Pick: DeMarcus Cousins
Grade: A
Analysis: The Kings got a gem last year in Tyreke Evans, and this year they got another solid pick in Cousins. Without Hawes they are now in need of someone dominant like Cousins could be.

2010 NBA Draft: #4 - Minnesota Timberwolves
Team: Minnesota T-Wolves
Pick: Wesley Johnson
Grade: B+
Analysis: Minnesota has made some risky picks in the past. Rubio and Flynn could have been worse then it came out to be. McHale is just not liked there. But this pick is not too bad. Ryan Gomes isn't a starter and this guy could be a good player. They didn't have much room to mess up. He isn't a guy to lead, but he is a guy to shoot well and do well.

2010 NBA Draft- #3 New Jersey Nets
Team: New Jersey Nets
Pick: Derrick Favors
Grade: A-
Analysis: Derrick Favors scares many to be a Kwame Brown. He is only 18 years old! He is just going to need some time to reach full potential is all, as I see no Kwame in him at all. They say he has an NBA body, and can finish. I am excited to see what he can do in the NBA

2010 NBA Draft: #1- Philadelphia 76ers
Team: Philadelphia 76ers
Pick: Evan Turner
Grade: A-
Analysis: Again, the 6ers select the best player available in the draft. However, again, the 76ers do not need him. Him and Igoudola will play very awkwardly together, as Igouldala plays like a hybrid of PG and SG. However, Turner is a great player and they will be better with him. As long as he can avoid turnovers, he will be a great player.

2010 NBA Draft: #1- Washington Wizards
Team: Washington Wizards
Pick: John Wall
Grade: A-
Analysis: After looking at the roster, the Wizards are in need of a Center. However, Wall is without a doubt the best player in the Draft. He is an all around freak of nature. He will be the next best player, and I can not wait for him to be an NBA player. He has very good vision, and even though he turns the ball over 1 in every 4 possessions, he is still (hands down) a monster. Why not A+? Well they didn't need him since Arenas will be back, but he is the best available and couldn't pass them up.

2010 NFL Draft: 1st Round in Review
This is my review of the 1st round of the NFL Draft. I will share my best pick, worst pick, questionable pick, and secure pick in the 1st round. Let me begin.
Best Pick:
Russell Okung, G, Seattle Seahawks
Reason: The Seahawks got a steal here at #6. Okung could have gone Top 5 easily, but Redskins took Trent Williams and the Chiefs took Eric Berry. This left the Seahawks with a great choice, either Okung or any of the available defenders. Okung was the best choice from that spot, so Okung was my favorite pick of the day.
Worst Pick:
Tim Tebow, QB, Denver Broncos
Reason: Tim Tebow is not an NFL quality quarterback, and for McDaniels to take him in the 1st round, I am not surprised. Well that's cause McDaniels is an idiot, but other than that they do have Brady Quinn and Kyle Orton. So do they think Tebow can play as well as either of them? I doubt it. Maybe the style will work or something, but if you want a Quarterback, why not take Clausen? They also took only a decent wide out, why not take a legit receiver like Dez Bryant? The quality of Denver's picks were just not up to par for winning. Would you rather have Dez Bryant and Jimmy Clausen or Tim Tebow and Demaryius Smith? Bad pick here by the Broncos. The fans gave it an F.
Questionable Pick:
Tyson Alualu, DT, Jacksonville Jaguars
I have to be honest, I have never heard of Tyson Alualu in the first round on any draft. Never this high, at least. I thought Derrick Morgan was going to be the pick here, but apparently... not. Derrick Morgan is the better version of Alualu, but the Jags must've seen something in Alualu to draft him this high in the draft. Oh well, the Jaguars lost out on some good talent, and I'm not saying Alualu is a bad player, I just think there were many other defensive tackles and ends that could've been taken before him.
Secure Pick:
CJ Spiller, RB, Buffalo Bills
What I mean by a secure pick is that this pick will be the best player out of all those drafted in the 1st round. That guy will be CJ Spiller. CJ Spiller is being compared to Reggie Bush on many sites. He is big yet explosive. Yes, Sam Bradford will have a great career at St. Louis, and yes, Suh will be a greatm dominate defensive player. But CJ Spiller will be great from the get go. He has a vibe about him that not many running backs have gotten in recent years.
The storyline of the 1st round must have been how Jimmy Clausen was not drafted in the 1st round of the Draft. He was projected a Top 10 pick, but in the end, Tebow was drafted instead of him. It is a crazy thought that someone who will be as good as Clausen won't be a first round pick. Expect him to be drafted early in the second by either the Raiders, Browns or Bills.
