THE REAL Winners and Losers of the NFL Draft

When it comes to winners and losers of the NFL Draft, talkin-head know-it-alls like to cover their bases and name about 6 or 7 obvious winners and losers!!! I am NOT that guy. I give you 2 winners and 2 losers. They may not be obvious...hmmmmm

Winners:

1. Lions - and its a freakin runaway!!!!! While they only had 5 picks they used them in key areas to gain immediate explosiveness!!!! Aaron Rodgers meet Nick Fairley. You're gonna see him A LOT! Suh and Fairley form the BEST young combo of interior front lineman since EVER! Your Detroit line was nice with VanDenBosch and Suh but now with Fairley...OH LORDY!!!! Then they used their 2nd rnd picks on DEFINITE impact players on offense. WR Titus Young has star #2 written all over him. Speed, height, hands. he is protype. He WILL burn Calvin Johnson double teams and poorly shown FS shading! bank on it. And RB Mikel Leshoure from Univ of Ill. He's about 6'0", 227, 4.45 40!!!!! A freakin monster for the 25th pick of rnd 2!!! The Lions have been having nice drafts and FA classes for the past 2 yrs but these 3 picks really put them over the top.

2. Broncos - Love the pick of Von Miller! a physical freak that we see his "touches" in the 3-4. with Dumervil and Miller the Broncos will have bookend rushers and you can build around that. Rnd 2 got the best safety on the board in Moore from UCLA. Trading down produced another 2nd round pick in OG Franklin from da U! any pick in the 2nd rnd should be an immediate starter. if not, then as a GM you suck. Now, dont discard 3rd rnd pick ILB Irving out of NCST. dude's got NFL length and speed. gotta love his reach. he was especially distructive against the VT protection. If not for Tyrod leading a comback, he would've got more recognition. BUT the best value is TE Virgil Green who while he was rated a 4th rnder on most boards, he fell to the begining of the 7th rnd for the Broncos!!! Great value and along with 4th rnd pick TE Thomas out of Portland St, he will give the Broncos depth in moving that middle of the field! MOST IMPORTANTLY, this draft showed Elway's faith in Tim Tebow. Even if I never said another word bout Tebow/Elway, then as a true Bronco fan you would know their relationship is the real story of your draft. Or at least you should.

Losers:

1. Dallas Cowboys : First off, As a Redskins fan, i just wanna say I love you Jerry Jones!!! You make Daniel Snyder look sane. seriously. You have sooooo many holes that you SHOULD take the best playmaker but instead you take a RT when your QB is righthanded!!!!! Wow! the 9th pick should be spent like that?  2nd rnd you draft OLB Bruce Carter when you have DWare and Anthony Spencer (as a Skins fan please bench him for Carter)? Dallas's RB depth looks like Felix Jones, Tashard Choice, and Marion Barber. For some reason they thought an injury prone Demarco Murray was worth the 3rd rnd choice to take somebody's spot! really? As a Skins fan, I would like to personally thank Jerry Jones. :)

2. Atlanta Falcons : They traded their future for Julius Jones. Jones is not even the best WR in the draft. Sure he may be the best at the combine but only FOOLS judge football players by the combine. I.E. Vernon Gholston, OLB for the Jets picked at #6 about 4 yrs ago. Point being, he had WAY too many drops!!! I dont care what JJ Stokes trade up you referenced for value but Sam Bradford is the only player in the last 5 yrs worth that many picks!!! For reference, the Falcons gave up their 1st rnd (#27), 2nd rnd, 4th rnd and their 2012 1st rnd and 4th rnd!!! Really? Jones is money, dont get me wrong. Big VERY physical WR who will be the best blocking WR since Hines Ward who runs a 4.38 40!!! BUT he drops balls and doesnt run the crispest of routes.We shall see if  he is worth 3 GUARANTEED starters in the two 1st rnders and the 2nd while the two 4th rnders probably produce another starter if you draft well. They lost picks by trading up for weak ass Jacquizz Rodgers or however you spell small weaker version of LaMichael James! Yes LaMichael James will suck next yr as a NFL prospect! but thats for another enlightenment. Point being, if the Atlanta Falcons don't win a SB in the next 3 yrs then this draft is a loss cause the salary cap will bite them in the ass. Yes, as a serious NFL fan you have to consider future salary cap ramifications if you want to keep guys like OLB Weatherspoon. Ya feel me?

Other teams like the Bengals, Redskins, Saints, Colts, Patriots, and Ravens couldve been mentioned but they werent! I liked or disliked what ALL of those squads did, but I didn't love or hate and that is why they don't make the list. Im Jus Sayin.
