Eagles' second round
Wow. I'm not sure how it happened, but Winston Justice dropped all the way into the second round today, and the Eagles traded up to grab him. I know there were some concerns about his production, but his workout numbers were off the charts, and he was graded as a top 15 pick by almost every single expert going into the draft. So the Eagles end up with two players on my round one wish list, when I would have been happy with either one of them. They gave up a fourth-round pick to make the move.
Buffalo made idiots out of themselves again, trading up into the first round to grab a DT with a 2nd-round grade, after passing on the best two DTs in the draft at the #8 slot. The guys running the football program up there are amazing knuckleheads. Honestly, I could do a better job, just by watching ESPN a lot.
The Giants and Steelers made a trade that is great for both teams...Steelers trade up to grab Santonio Holmes, who is an instant upgrade vs. the overrated Antwan Randle-El, while the Giants pick up an extra 3rd and 4th-round selection. In the Steelers' spot, they still manage to grab one of the better DEs in the draft...not that they need a DE, but Kiwanuka is excellent value at the #32 slot. I'll be stunned if the Giants don't win the division this year. Their moves this offseason have been that good.
