I watched intently for a handful of reasons.
1.) To see who my beloved New York Football Giants would select
2.) To see where Jimmy Clausen/Golden Tate would end up
3.) To see where former Syracuse standouts Mike Williams and Arthur Jones would get drafted
4.) Because I was working on our radio coverage of Day 2 of the Draft
5.) To see which team would blow their load on Tim Tebow
Now I won't bore you with my analysis of the draft because no one can really evaluate the picks for at least 3 years, but I will say this.
-I felt like I was having flashbacks to '07 as Jimmy Clausen slipped mightily; however I think he will be a very good quarterback in the National Football League (all the analysts do it, why can't I?) and that he ended up in a very good situation in Carolina.
-On a related note, how do the Bills not draft Clausen or McCoy? Don't tell me that Brian Brohm, or as my buddy Browny likes to call him "The Buffalo Brohmer", is the long term answer there. I mean, I thought Brohm was awesome at Louisville and I just heard that he was trying to take advantage of second semester senior girls who are in desperation mode at Colgate over the weekend, but I don't think he's the next Jim Kelly.
-Lastly, and most importantly, a word about the Giants first round pick Jason Pierre-Paul. I've heard he's a freak of nature (and backflip extraordinairre), but I usually don't trust French people (because they surrender) and the "Pierre" portion of his last name has me a little worried. The only way I'll get over it is if he was hammmmered on draft night, because that's how we like our defensive players in New York.
