What pick(s) surprised you the most? For me it's gotta be
- The NFL going 6 for 6 having all the players invited go in order 1-6
- Mendenhall falling/Jones going before him
- No WRs in round 1
- Donnie Avery as the first WR taken
- zzzJordyzzz going day 1 as the 3rd WR taken
- Jerome Simpson going before DeSean Jackson
- Ray Rice going day 1

Ray Rice going in Day 1 isn't really a shocker. He had tha talent. What IS a shocker though is how teams are messin' this draft up, real talk.

I think it was a great pick, now you can go back to a 2 back system with speed(Fast Willie) and power(Mendenhall).

Fred fricken Davis.

It's not that bad of a pick, would I have gone D or O-line sure, but it makes sense. We need 2 TE's to work the middle of the field and we have no one beyond Cooley. I think it was a decent pick. I actually had Davis as my #1 rated TE because he is more complete than Dustin Keller and has more explosiveness than Carlson.

Oh yeah, I do support it and I think him and Cooley would be a great duo.

Just NOBODY saw that coming.

I am shocked the Chiefs were able to pull of the draft they did in day 1

i was shocked when the titans took chris johnson. I realize they like his speed but this must mean they have given up on chris henry, their 2nd rounder, very quickly

Somebody with Andre the Giant sized fingers needs to give AJ Smith the shocker for giving the Pats a 2nd and 5th for a guy (Jacob fk'n Hester) who wouldv'e been there in the 5th anyway. Worst move of the draft. That was Beathard-like. AJ Smith is becoming noted for some seriously bad reaches.

Pats drafting 2 linebackers.

How is that a shocker? They still need to draft two more.

The Titans needed all three of Brown, White and Henry last season and would have been in a bad situation without them. Brown leaves, you bring a HB in. Trust me, Chris Johnson is not a shock at all to most informed Titans fans, it was being talked about for some time, particularly as Fisher kept saying speed and big play ability on offense was the #1 priority.

someone is happy about their teams draft, lol. Also, the Jets trading back into the first to get Keller was a shock.

The Lions, just in General.

How they passed on Mendenhall i'll never know, I like Gosder but really? at 17?

Also Dizon was probably more of a 3rd rounder.

I agree, I was kind of disappointed that the Lions didn't take him to be honest.
