Thats It! First round of the 2009 NFL Draft is Over

Found April 25, 2009 on The NFL Draft Site: Yardbarker Blogger Network
PLAYERS: Mark Sanchez,  Josh Freeman,  Eric Wood

The first round is over! Whew! What a rush. That was great. We saw six receivers get drafted in the first round this year, after not a single receiver went in the first round last year. QB Matt Stafford was the first pick and he is now the highest paid player in the NFL with more than $41 million in guaranteed money. The Jets moved up to #5 to get USC QB Mark Sanchez, prompting the Browns to drop down two more times after that and finally picking at 21. The Patriots traded down twice, once with the Ravens for the 23rd pick, then they traded out of the first round all together when they traded the 26th pick to Green Bay. Tampa jumped up two spots to take QB Josh Freeman and Buffalo really surprised by taking C Eric Wood.

7 Days of Draftsmas: Does Jets/Browns Trade Open Door for Freeman to Land With Vikes?

Via The Viking Age  |  April 25, 2009
The NFL Draft is at last underway.  The big excitement so far has been a trade that moved the Jets all the way up to #5 where they selected Mark Sanchez, QB out of USC.  Prior to this, the Jets were believed to like Josh Freeman with their original #17 pick, but obviously, they will no longer be taking him.  This removes at least one team ahead of the Vikings that were believed...

Rex Keeps on Blitzing. Draft Day Shock and Awe (or uhhh…)

Via Hot Stove New York  |  April 27, 2009
I’ve gone from being dumbfounded to angry to depressed to optimistic to hopeful to “holy crap, we didn’t really give up that much.”  I do not, or I guess I should say, did not like the personality I saw Mark Sanchez put on display the weeks leading up until draft day.  He struck me as [...]

The Emo Jets Express Their Dismay With The Jose Namath Pick

The J-E-T-S fans in attendance at Radio City Music Hall were mostly buoyant about the team’s selection of Mark Sanchez, though there were some long-haired misty-eyed dissenters in the mix, as the video illustrates. If Jets fans are known for their defeatism, or maybe outright belligerence, let’s look at these Lions fans, who show exuberance in [...]

Snyder: Next year’s first is safe

Via *D Rich Tandler's Real Redskins  |  April 24, 2009
Dan Snyder, speaking on ESPN 980, said it flat out:"We will not trade away next year's No. 1 pick."That pick likely would be a necessary element for them to move up from the 13th spot into No. 3 or No. 4. So it would appear that a trade into the top five to take Mark Sanchez is not going to happen.He volunteered the information in response to Doc Walker's question...

I thought now was as good a time as any to go over this, mainly because I have a feeling that many of you are wondering. For each draft class we all pick our people. We go over the rounds and decide on a guy based on team, college, style whatever. I also know that many of you want to see an auto before you decide. Or, as I put it, whether or not the guy passes or fails your version...
