The 2010 NFL Draft is in the books and the postmortems have been coming in quickly and passionately. Each NFL team is represented below, marked by a not-so-subtle nod to the general managers we focus so much of our site's attention towards and our namesake. NFC The Ted Thompson ? Tom Silverstein of the Journal Sentinel: "It's impossible to predict where needs will develop or injuries will pop up, so there's no way of telling if the Green Bay Packers sealed off potential leaks with the seven players they selected in the 2010 National Football League draft. But if you're going to fortify one area of the football team it's probably best that it be where the big men reside, because as last year showed, breakdowns on the offensive and defensive lines can keep a team like the Packers from getting where it wants to go. During the three days of the draft, general manager Ted Thompson overlooked potential needs at cornerback and outside linebacker to firm up the offensive and defensive lines, providing coach Mike McCarthy with a grocery-store shelf of choices on both sides of the ball. If the Packers falter on the lines this season because of poor performance or untimely injury, it won't be because they ran out of options." The Jerry Angelo ? Brad Biggs of the Chicago Tribune: "The reality for teams that become big spenders in free agency is that usually they're in the marketplace waving a sign that reads, "Will pay top dollar," because they have not drafted well. Certainly the Bears fit that profile after their spending spree last month when they signed defensive end Julius Peppers, running back Chester Taylor and tight end Brandon Manumaleuna to contracts with a combined total of $55 million guaranteed." The Martin Mayhew ? Sean Yuille of Pride of Detroit: "As far as the picks go, the Lions addressed their big needs at defensive tackle, running back, and cornerback with the selections of (Ndamukong) Suh, (Jahvid) Best, and (Amari) Spievey.? The rest of the picks also addressed needs one way or another, but they are more developmental guys than players that can come in and compete for a starting spot right away.? Suh obviously will be expected to start from day one.? Best could start right away if Kevin Smith isn't healthy, but even if he doesn't start, the former California Golden Bear will be somebody who is on the field in a variety of ways to make plays.? Finally, Spievey could take some time to develop much like DeAndre Levy did last year (both are Big Ten guys taken in the third round), but since the Lions aren't exactly set at cornerback, he may be forced into the starting lineup much quicker than Levy was." The Rick Spielman ? Daily Norseman: "This draft didn't have the sizzle of 2007 with the Adrian Peterson pick?or excitement of 2008 with the Jared Allen trade, but the Vikings had to address DB and running back.? They accomplished what they set out to do, but was it at the expense of making Detroit a rising power in the division? The Jerry Jones ? Gil Lebreton of the Star-Telegram: "Ever since Jimmy Johnson left the franchise in the hands of its "socks and jocks" owner, the Dallas Cowboys have seemed to wander in search of the proper draft philosophy. They have drafted for need -- 1997, the David LaFleur draft, because Troy Aikman needed a tight end. They have drafted for character -- 1998, when owner Jerry Jones selected Greg Ellis, because off-field events had backed him into a corner. And they have drafted like a team that thinks it has everything -- 1995, when they tried to corner the market on backups and special teamers (Sherman Williams, Kendell Watkins, Shane Hannah, et al), and again in 2009 (the only draftee who made an impact was the guy who kicks off?). How curious, therefore, that in this, Jones' 17th draft since Johnson left, he intrepidly embarked into uncharted territory and, with the team's first two picks, selected the two most talented players left on the board. No reaching for a Quincy Carter. No trading away No. 1s to get Joey Galloway or Roy Williams. Not even a mild reach to fill the gaping void where Flozell Adams once crouched. The Jerry Reese ? Ed Valentine of Big Blue View: "Jason Pierre-Paul held a conference call with New York media this afternoon. From the text it is obvious that JPP is a confident young man. Here is what he said about being called "raw" as a player. "When I'm on the field, I do know what I'm doing. Otherwise I wouldn't be on the field, you know. I don't consider myself raw because I know what I'm doing. For the last three years, every where I went, they called me raw. At times they may call me raw but in the future they will see that I know what I'm doing. I don't concern myself with that (being called raw). I'm still early in the process of learning, I guess." Here is what he said about his pass-rushing ability. "I'm a very good pass rusher. Actually, I'm a great pass rusher. Pass rushing is just one of the things I can do though. I feel I can become better and better at that, and I want to come up to New York and hopefully become a better football player." " The Howie Roseman ? John Gonzalez of the Philadelphia Inqurier: "Before this weekend, he was little more than an idea - a fresh-faced, 34-year-old abstraction we knew next to nothing about. We heard people talk about his reputation as a gambler and how, as a kid, he used to pretend to draft players in the hopes he'd get to do it for real one day. And that was pretty much it. Until the NFL draft began, it was all about potential for Eagles general manager Howie Roseman. Not anymore. Now he's involved. Now he has a body of work that will be evaluated by everyone from the fans to other NFL executives. Now his voice is officially part of an organization that's either echoed or shouted down, depending on which Philadelphian you come across. Like Joe Banner and Andy Reid, Roseman will be held accountable for the success or failure of the franchise.. Whatever anonymity Roseman enjoyed prior to the 2010 draft evaporated shortly after the Eagles jumped way up in the first round, parting with two third-rounders and their No. 1, 24th overall, to improve their position to 13th and select Michigan defensive end Brandon Graham. In the news conference later, Reid said Graham was a player Roseman "liked a lot." The head coach and player personnel puppet master could have stopped there, but he didn't. "Howie helped me narrow things down and coached me up on the players," Reid told the media. "He thought this was a superb player. I went and looked at him. I looked at every game he played, as well as all the games of some other players, and we came to the conclusion that this was the guy." " The Bruce Allen ? Washington Post: "The Redskins used three of their six picks in the NFL draft on offensive linemen. First-round selection Trent Williams is expected to fill Chris Samuels's shoes at left tackle. Seventh-round selections Erik Cook and Selvish Capers will provide some depth. Toss in Artis Hicks, who signed earlier this offseason, and the Redskins will have a significantly different line than the one that received plenty of criticism last season." The Jed York ? Andrew Davidson of Niners Nation: "While San Francisco did?everything in their power to improve the running game,?it doesn't mean we'll be seeing less of the Alex Smith-friendly offense we saw in the second half of '09. What it does signify is that the team knew exactly what it wanted, and exactly what it had to do: improve the running game and the offensive line. According to Football Outsiders, San Francisco's offensive line was brutal in 2009; the team finished 32nd in Adjusted Line Yards, and 26th in pass protection. Regarding NFL team stats, the 49ers finished 25th in rush yards per game (98.3) and 22nd in pass yards per game (190.8). In other words, it didn't take a rocket scientist to figure out the team needed better players for the OLine. What did San Francisco do? They went out and addressed the biggest need by not only taking two top tier OL prospects, but a bruising RB, and a blocking TE. Does this spell the end of the shotgun formation (I don't want to call it a spread)? No.. We might see less of the shotgun formation, but it's not going to disappear.?We also might see more passing plays with Alex Smith under center, but it would?be?fantastic to see the team?run the ball when they need to (and when the defense knows it)?and have success when doing so. The new players increase the odds of this happening." The John Schneider ? Danny O'Neail of the Seattle Times: "The surprise wasn't that the Seahawks added two running backs during the three-day NFL draft. The surprise was how they did it. As good as Seattle's draft was ? and there were plenty who evaluated the Seahawks' haul as one of the league's best ? it would have been incomplete without the trades for LenDale White from Tennessee and Leon Washington from the New York Jets.. The pair of trades were the finishing touch on a draft that earned rave reviews. It started with the first-round selections of left tackle Russell Okung, who will fill a position where Seattle started four players last season; and safety Earl Thomas, a playmaker for a secondary that allowed the third-most passing yards in the league in 2009. The second round brought Golden Tate, a big-play threat for a team whose longest reception last season was a screen pass to Jones. The acquisitions of Washington and White were the most significant moves Seattle made on the draft's final day.. The risk was nominal, and in exchange Seattle gets a running back who rushed for 1,110 yards his second season in the league and has a nose for the end zone. The Seahawks may not have gotten younger at running back in this draft, but they did get better." The Billy Devaney ? Turf Show Times: "What does this draft say about the Rams' state of affairs?? Where is this team going?? How do you categorize the product (Steve) Spagnuolo intends to put out this year?? For me, I see two direct, intentional statements and an underlying theme from each: 1.) This is Sam Bradford's team, and all offensive-related changes, whether related to on-field strategy or roster moves, will be made to accommodate him. a.) The underlying statement is what this says about who the offense does not belong to: Steven Jackson. 2.) This defense is going to be physical, painful and effortful. b.) Underlying: this defense will not rely on high-skill players, or those with outstanding bodies of work.? It's going to require development, time and commitment." The Rod Graves ? Kent Somers of the Arizona Republic: "The Cardinals went out of character on the final day of the NFL draft Saturday, completing two trades, including one that sent cornerback Bryant McFadden to Pittsburgh and brought a new quarterback to town. To General Manager Rod Graves, the Cardinals' aggressiveness Saturday was a by-product of the team's recent success and continuity in the front office and coaching staff. "We feel good about the players we've identified, and we go after those opportunities," he said. "We don't draft sitting in the back of our seats; I think we draft on the edge of our seats. And we're looking for opportunities." " The Mickey Loomis ? Jeff Duncan of the Times-Picayune: "The Saints didn't get much help for their defense during the three-day player lottery. In fact, they added more players to their top-ranked offense than they did to their 25th-ranked defense. And the two defensive players they?drafted, cornerback Patrick Robinson and defensive tackle Al Woods, aren't expected to be immediate difference-makers. It'll be an upset if either cracks the starting lineup this season. And neither is going to help the Saints' most glaring defensive weakness: a tepid pass rush. So it looks like another season of high-scoring shootouts in New Orleans. Arena Football games will continue to break out at the Superdome on Sundays. The new high-tech scoreboards will continue to get a workout. To win games, the Saints will have to outscore folks once again. Last year they beat the Lions, Giants, Dolphins, Falcons, Redskins and Vikings despite allowing 27 points or more to each of them. The average score of a Saints game last season was 32-21. It could be higher next year, unless free agent defensive ends Alex Brown and Jimmy Wilkerson enjoy breakout seasons. Make no mistake, the Saints are aware of the situation. They know only seven teams allowed more yards than they did last season. They know they managed just 35 sacks despite blitzing the quarterback the second most times a year ago. They understand the potential is there to lose their biggest defensive playmaker, free safety Darren Sharper. But there really wasn't much else they could do. The players they wanted to add to juice up their front seven were gone by the time they selected." The Thomas Dimitroff ? Dave Choate of The Falcoholic: "Throughout his short career in Atlanta, Dimitroff has made a point of drafting in a vastly different manner than draft pundits might prescribe. When it comes to getting the players he wants, the Comrade has absolute tunnel vision. Is Carlton Mitchell there late in the draft, with fans crossing their fingers and hoping they'll get him? The Comrade is unimpressed by the raw Mitchell, fancying the more versatile and more polished Kerry Meier. Is former Matt Ryan teammate Matt Tennant available at center, with fans drooling for the chance for a reunion? The Comrade doesn't care for the smallish Tennant as much as Hawley, who has the frame and the strength to stick at center, once the real concerns about his footwork limiting his push are addressed. And so on. To put a fine point on it after all this rambling, what Dimitroff is doing is building the Atlanta Falcons are they've never been built before. Every one of these guys is a talented, hard-working player who has flaws, but flaws that the team believes can be coached out of them. The Comrade could give a damn if a bigger name is on the board, because those guys don't fit what the Falcons are trying to do, which is build an exceedingly deep, young and talented football team that is going to win a ton of games. If a guy like Corey Peters is sitting there in the third round and there's the slightest concern the Cleveland Browns are going to grab him, he's going to take him right there and then. So what if pundits and fans don't like it? Thomas Dimitroff believes that Peters is going to be an excellent player, and he's going to take him whenever he can get him. There are very few other teams who come in to the draft so locked in on taking not the best player available?a philosophy that, for example, netted the New Orleans Saints cornerback Patrick Robinson when they needed a linebacker a lot more urgently?but the best player available for the Falcons. It's a strategy that serves up baffling moments, and one that is not rewarding from a public relations standpoint for a team that prides itself on reaching out to fans. But it is, in Dimitroff's estimation, the best way to build a football team." The Marty Hurney ? Darin Gantt of the Charlotte Observer: "The last time the Panthers rebuilt a roster, they did it differently. When (Marty) Hurney and (John) Fox took over in 2002, they worked to backfill the roster with cheap free agents they could trust, without enough picks that first year to remake the team exactly as they wanted. And the Super Bowl year that followed was built on the backs of a host of veteran free agents. But if the Panthers are going to make another such run, they'll do it with their own, the homegrown players they grow more fond of with each passing season. In their ninth year, they've been able to lay enough bricks down that it's beginning to look like the home they dreamed of then. "I think we said when we came in that we would build our team around the draft and complement through other areas," Hurney said earlier this offseason. "In recent years, that philosophy has gotten even stronger because we have had some success with players in the draft. "We're going to stick with that philosophy. It has probably gotten stronger each year." " The Mark Dominik ? John Henderson of the Tampa Tribune: "Maybe because for the first time since the mushroom cloud appeared over Raymond James Stadium about 17 months ago, signs of life are starting to sprout from the rubble. It's generally conceded that the Tampa Bay Buccaneers just completed a fine draft, maybe a franchise-changer, and do we even have to state how important that was to the future of this franchise? They got better against the run. They upgraded significantly at wide receiver. They got younger. They got more physical. They got deeper. They got better - maybe a lot better.. They got four big-time talents with their first four picks while addressing obvious deep needs on the defensive line and at wide receiver. They gave up 158 yards per game on the ground last year, the worst figure in the National Football League. If the Bucs didn't fix that with top two draftee defensive tackles Gerald McCoy and Brian Price, I'm not sure what will. This won't even look like the same team next fall, perhaps because it isn't." AFC The Al Davis ? Raymond St. Martin of Silver And Black Pride: "There are many detractors of Mr. Davis in the NFL and every single one of them has got to be impressed with the work that he and his staff did over the past month and especially in the last few days. Not only did Mr. Davis get two fantastic edge rushing, linebacker/defensive ends with professional experience for a late third and fifth round selection he brought in the perfect quarterback for our system, Jason Campbell. A thank you should also go out to former Raider Bruce Allen on this one as he is the one who traded Campbell to his old boss. The Oakland Raider draft picks shut up every single person who thought the old man would stick to his fastest player available theory and draft Bruce Campbell in the first and Jacoby Ford in the second. I can still hear the talking heads during the combine talking about how Campbell and Ford would be Raiders. Well, they were right, in a way, they ARE Raiders, they just weren't reached for like our two draft picks, Darius Heyward-Bey and Mike Mitchell were last season." The A.J. Smith ? Doug Farrar of Yahoo!: "As great a personnel man as A.J. Smith has been over the last decade, he has developed a worrisome trend. He will (over)spend multiple draft picks to go after players he believes in, which has affected the team's depth in recent seasons. This year, Smith put together a deal to take Miami's 12th overall pick and selected Fresno State's Ryan Matthews, quite possibly the best overall running back in the 2010 class. In the third round, they picked up Washington linebacker Donald Butler, who can cover in zones with near-safety speed. To cover their desperate need at nose tackle, Smith took North Carolina's Cam Thomas in the fifth round. Matthews should be worth the pick, but if he isn't, there isn't much else to go on here for a team trying to stay competitive." The Scott Pioli ? Adam Teicher of the Kansas City Star: "The draft hadn?t even concluded but Todd Haley and some of his offensive coaches were already tinkering with ways to use the Chiefs? new offensive pieces. Some of the things they were drawing up included Jamaal Charles, Thomas Jones and Dexter McCluster all on the field at once. That?s already a change from last year, when the Chiefs most times were struggling to find enough playmakers to line up and play at one time. The Chiefs made finding playmakers, whether they?re on offense, defense or special teams, an emphasis in the draft. They cast the net wide and emerged with safety Eric Berry of Tennessee in the first round and running back/wide receiver McCluster of Mississippi and kick returner/nickel back Javier Arenas of Alabama in the second.. The emphasis on playmakers came at a cost. The Chiefs failed to add an offensive tackle, meaning Branden Albert and Ryan O?Callaghan will start again next season. Their only major offseason player additions on defense were Berry and Arenas. They appeared content with that." The Brian Xanders ? Mike Kils of the Denver Post: "The conclusion of the NFL draft essentially means the Broncos are finished with the bulk of their roster renovation for the 2010 season. Overpowered by the San Diego Chargers at the line of scrimmage for years, the Broncos went into free agency and spent $50 million to rebuild a new, three-man defensive line, then used the draft to add a tackle, a guard and a center to their offensive front. Maybe now the Broncos can match the Chargers lick for lick.. As (Josh) McDaniels and general manager Brian Xanders reviewed what went wrong after the team's 6-0 start last year, it's clear they determined upgrades were needed at the line of scrimmage, quarterback and in their locker room environment." The Mike Tannenbaum ? John of Gang Green Nation: (Joe) McKnight will be the new Leon Washington. He will be the team's change of pace homerun threat, attempting to get to the perimeter. He will also be a pass catching threat out of the backfield and split out wide and in the slot at times. His speed makes him a likely candidate to take over as the sweep handoff option when Brad Smith takes the snap in the Tiger formation. He also may figure as a kickoff returner. The Bill Belichick ? Albert R. Breer of the Boston Globe: "It was clear coming into the NFL draft that, with four picks in the top 53, the Patriots? efforts had to be judged not on one selection, but as a mosaic of their handling of the first two days. When they finally got through four picks, after shuffling down the board four times and up once, something else was obvious. The club wanted certainty this time around. The Patriots have struggled mightily in the draft of late, and suffered from a toxic locker room in 2009. And the class, to this point, is an implicit acknowledgement of that. They did gamble once, taking Arizona tight end Rob Gronkowski, a big, athletic, physical target coming off a back injury and bringing personality questions. But the other three went to form ? Rutgers cornerback Devin McCourty and Florida defenders Jermaine Cunningham and Brandon Spikes were passed from under the wing of a Bill Belichick confidant into the Patriots family." The Buddy Nix ? Leo Roth of the Democrat and Chronicle: "General manager Buddy Nix and coach Chan Gailey were very happy with the way their first draft with the Buffalo Bills unfolded over the past three days. Not as happy as Trent Edwards, Ryan Fitzpatrick and Brian Brohm, of course. Buffalo's three incumbent veteran quarterbacks let out a collective sigh of relief that traveled farther than most of their passes do after management passed on all the big names in one of the more intriguing college quarterback classes in years. A rookie who would have instantly become the favorite in the hearts and minds of fans whose Jim Kelly and Doug Flutie jerseys are now tattered and far too tight. Nix and Gailey are good football men. But now that it's set in stone that Edwards, Fitzpatrick and Brohm will be slugging it out for the starting quarterback job this summer, it just got harder to drink from their Kool-Aid stand." The Jeff Ireland ? Armando Salguero of the Miami Herald: "Everyone hopes he's developing for the better because, contrary to popular belief, (Jeff) Ireland said the Dolphins don't pick players simply by Parcells' decree. Ireland is not a puppet that Parcells merely has on a string. ``It's very collective,'' he said. ``Bill listens to me. I listen to Bill. [Coach] Tony [Sparano] is obviously involved in that process. I think what's good about Bill and I is I can say anything to him, and he can say anything to me. And it's never personal. ``Bill doesn't have that relationship with too many people. Most people would take it personal, and I don't. I just bark back at him. That's how it works. ``We collectively make a decision, and if we're not all three on board with it, it probably doesn't get made. That player is not selected.'' " The Ozzie Newsome ? Jamison Hensley of the Baltimore Sun: "The Ravens' most uncharacteristic draft led to the typical results. It started with the Ravens trading out of the first round for the first time in team history. It included the drafting of a player who raised red flags in regard to health and character. And it featured the selection of tight ends in consecutive rounds when the fan base cried out for a cornerback. By the time the Ravens' draft show was complete Saturday, the draft experts were giving them a standing ovation. ESPN's Mel Kiper Jr. described it as an A-plus draft. Ron Jaworski, the former quarterback-turned-ESPN analyst, said the Ravens are building a "juggernaut." In the first three rounds, the Ravens came away with one of the draft's top pass rushers (Texas' Sergio Kindle, who has an often-injured knee and a previous DWI charge), the second-best nose tackle (Alabama's Terrence Cody) and the third-best tight end (Oregon's Ed Dickson). "The biggest thing that we did is we got three players that we wouldn't want to play against," said Eric DeCosta, the Ravens' director of player personnel. The 2010 draft will ultimately be judged on the Ravens' decision to trade the 25th overall pick to the Denver Broncos for selections in the second, third and fourth rounds." The Kevin Colbert ? Michael Bean of Behind the Steel Curtain: "Bottom line is the Steelers finally got a legit talent along the OL in the 1st round, a RB with loads of upside and promise in the 6th round, and a whole bunch of gamers on defense. Every last one of them won't pan out most likely, but several will simply because almost all of them are the types of competitors that won't allow themselves to fail. Throw in the fact that the Steelers addressed their needs in the secondary by re-acquiring Bryant McFadden from the Arizona Cardinals and I think fans have to be thrilled with the roster compared to how it looked just a few short days ago." The Tom Heckert ? Dawgs By Nature: "I am of the "Best Player Available" school when it comes to the draft, and I don't think you can make the argument that some of the players we chose (TJ Ward, for example) were the best on the board when we chose.? Others (Colt McCoy, Joe Haden) may very well have been.? Not even Michael Smith knows for sure; maybe these guys were at the top of our board when we selected them. Whatever the philosophy of the front office, we can be sure that we selected players at positions of need.? I want Mike Furry and Brandon McDonald as far down the depth chart in the secondary as possible, and Haden and Ward should certainly push them down while Asante can probably push for playing time in sub packages.? Colt McCoy fell into our laps at our biggest area of need; Quarterback.? We got a young defensive lineman, a guard for the right side, and a big, speedy wideout.? Each of our picks was in one of our biggest areas of need with the exception of Hardesty." The Mike Brown ? Joe Reedy of the Cincinnati Enquirer: "Overall it is not a class with as many recognizable names as last year, but it does have the potential to have as many valuable contributors. First-round pick Jermaine Gresham should have every opportunity to win the starting job at tight end while Carlos Dunlap (second round) and Geno Atkins (fourth round) could bolster a pass rush that lagged over the last six weeks of the season.. Receivers Jordan Shipley (third round) and Dezmon Briscoe (sixth round) will certainly provide plenty of competition. Shipley could be the possession receiver that was lacking last year with the departure of T.J. Houshmandzadeh while Briscoe, who was rated as the 10th-best receiver by Mel Kiper, could be the steal of the draft for the Bengals." The Chris Polian ? Mike Chappell of the Indy Star: "Indianapolis Colts president Bill Polian looks at the draft in big-picture terms, not early-round snapshots. It's about the entire three-day, seven-round process, adding players from the bottom as well as the top. There weren't any "wow'' picks by the Colts in Saturday's final four rounds. Tennessee guard Jacques McClendon, a fourth-round pick, is a converted defensive lineman. Oklahoma tight end Brody Eldridge, a fifth-rounder, is considered more of a blocker than a receiving option and has the resume to back it up (13 catches in 48 career games).. "Without question, we've strengthened our team, added some skills and athleticism,'' coach Jim Caldwell said. The Colts did so minus the hype. Adding substance to the roster through the lower rounds, not earning style points, was the objective. It's always the objective. "If you have highly-paid stars that you keep, which we do . . . you have to balance the equation out with players who are younger players and who make less money,'' Polian said. "The only way to do that is through the draft and through collegiate free agency, and we've done a good job of that. "That's our model. That's what we've done. That's what we'll continue to do. It works for us.'' The Colts have an enviable history of hitting on franchise-shaping first-round picks during the Polian era: quarterback Peyton Manning, running back Edgerrin James, defensive end Dwight Freeney, tight end Dallas Clark, wide receiver Reggie Wayne. Nearly as important, considering the top-heavy financial makeup of the roster, is finding players in the fourth round and lower. Additional affordable labor is gleaned in the hours immediately after the draft in the collegiate free agent market. The Colts have agreed to terms with several, but did not release the names." The Gene Smith ? Adam Stites of Big Cat Country: "(Tyson) Alualu is nearly the exact same size as Gerald McCoy. McCoy ran a 4.96 at the combine, while Alualu ran a 4.87. That's significantly faster than McCoy and Suh.?Take a look at vertical jumps and the difference is staggering. At the combine there was a 30.5 vertical from McCoy and Suh put up the best vertical jump since 2000 with a 35.5" jump. Alualu finished with a 35" jump.?In school Alualu had better stats than McCoy and played in every game starting with his true freshman year. He showed durability and was also a leader on Cal's defense. He's a great character guy wife a wife and two kids and has never been anything but a pleasure to coach according to everyone around him. On the field, Alualu was more productive than McCoy and was reveled for his nonstop motor. So perhaps, I'm missing something in my logic, but the way I see it Alualu wasn't a reach and can't be considered a reach until someone gives a reason to substantiate his 2nd round status." The Mike Reinfeldt ? Jimmy of Music City Miracles: "My biggest criticism of the Mike Reinfeldt/Jeff Fisher regime has been the fact that they love to take guys that didn't produce in college because they have "upside."? They have also had some type of weird love affair with guys from small schools, not that there is anything wrong with that, but a lot of times it takes those guys a little more time to get ready on the NFL level.? This year they went big school, big production with their first four picks of the draft. Derrick Morgan was the best defensive end in this draft, and the Titans have to be thrilled that he fell to #16.? I think it is hilarious that a lot of the grades around the internet are downgrading the Titans because they got Morgan instead of Jason Pierre-Paul.? I guarantee you in 4 years when it is not ridiculously early to grade this draft Morgan will be miles ahead of JPP. I was heartbroken when Javier Arenas went before the Titans got back on the clock, but the more I read about Damian Williams the more I like him.? He has all of the physical tools and returned punts in college.? Two for the price of one right there.? Hopefully Fisher and Mike Heimerdinger will give him a shot at seeing the field early. Rennie Curran seems to be cut from the same mold as Tulloch.? He can play all three linebacker spots and was a tackling machine in college.? Suddenly the Titans have some depth at the linebacker position. The LenDale trade brought the Titans UCLA corner Alterraun Verner (A guy Vols fans are familiar with).? He had 13 career interceptions and is really smart." The Rick Smith ? Jerome Solomon of the Houston Chronicle: "Word around the league is that the Texans' draft class is among the best. Scouts I talked to had almost nothing but good things to say about what the Texans did. ?They didn't reach, they didn't take any major chances and they didn't grab anybody up high with major question marks, so that tells you that down the road they should be very happy with their group,? an AFC scout said. To be very happy down the road, the Texans will need to get two starters out of the nine players they took in the three-day draft. The most likely to do that are their top two picks ? cornerback Kareem Jackson and tailback Ben Tate." Chris Reina is the executive editor of RealGM.
