The first round is over and it was the longest ever in NFL history (seriously). Other than Brady Quinn dropping to No. 22, there weren’t many surprises. And no, I’m not counting Ted Ginn Jr. being selected by Miami at No. 9, because I had that pick in my final mock draft and think it was a better selection than most are making it out to be. There were some reaches – Green Bay taking Justin Harrell at No. 16 for one – but other than that, JaMarcus Russell, Calvin Johnson and Joe Thomas were picked rather status quo.
Feel free to check out our first round blog with notes and comments on every pick. Then check back here at the Scores Report after every round for a recap of the best values, sleepers and, ‘what were they thinking?’ selections of rounds 2 through 7.
