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

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.
