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.
