Round 1 Comments

After posting my first round yesterday I would like to make a few notes about it...

First of all, I do have reasons for every pick I made, but just felt it too overwhelming to write them all on here. I must admit though, my decision making was heavily influenced 3 other mock drafts which I consider trustworthy. I saw their picks, read their reasoning, and also took heavily into account team needs to make up my picks.

Secondly, and more importantly, some notes on the draft itself. I don't think Keith Rivers will actually fall to the Texans, but they might just pee themselves if he does! Once I decided Buffalo wouldn't take him no team till the Texans had enough of a need at the position for me to predict him going there. Still with that being said, I think he is too much of a talent at the position, especially when I don't see great depth at outside linebacker, for one of those teams before the Texans not to take him. I just can't predict which team. Most of my picks were made based on needs and not as heavily on talent.

Third, I know it was a surprise, and probably unrealistic, to have Dorsey and Ellis going 9 and 10, but for now that's what I see happening. Also I hope I am wrong about the Raiders picking McFadden.
