Okay, so there was actually plenty of speculation that the Chiefs would pick LSU's Tyson Jackson in fear of Aaron Curry's bust potential. While Curry's upside is the most promising in the draft, Chief's GM Scott Pioli has certainly gained merit as a trustworthy evaluator after building the Patriot's Dynasty, and it's hard to remain skeptical of his decisions.
With Jackson headed to Arrowhead, the Seahawks might have biggest steal of the draft with Aaron Curry at #4. Curry is widely regarded as the safest pick in the draft, and will immediately step in to a team poised to return to the playoffs. Expect Curry to have a solid, and possibly a hall-of-fame career in a city in dire need of a sport's hero.
The first shake-up of the draft came with the Jets moving up to #5 to draft USC's Mark Sanchez. The Jets shipped off a 1st and 2nd rounder along with Brett Ratliff and a few defenders to Cleveland. Sanchez will likely step in right away as New York's starter, and with a solid offensive line and running game, Sanchez could see some early success. However, no pick is safe and Sanchez has as much bust potential as he does boom potential.
The Bengals picked Andre Smith. I'm appalled. No analysis here, just the continued demise of the Cincinnati Bengals.
