Luck and Griffin III went as the first and second pick. I am extremely happy that the Arizona Cardinals took Michael Floyd. After hearing that Fitzgerald wanted him on the team I was disappointed when I saw an offensive tackle as their first pick in most mock drafts. The Cardinals definitely could have used a tackle, however I feel a strong wide receiver like Floyd brings many things to the table offensively. Anything that allows Fitzgerald to have more space is a good thing. Any little bit of coverage not used on Larry is a benefit. Every year Boldin was with the Arizona Cardinals, and played more then 12 games, both receivers broke the 1000 yard mark. Any wide receiver benefits from having other talented wide receivers around him. Aside from the Cards taking a great receiver; the other thing that interested me greatly was the amount of trades during the draft. Not just the quantity which saw over 5 trades, but some of the actual content of the trades.
The first trade saw the Vikings trade the 3rd pick of the drafts for the Browns' first (4th pick), fourth(118), fifth(139), and seventh round picks(211) . The Browns took running back Trent Richardson, the Vikings took offensive tackle Matt Kalil. I hope Richardson works out for the Browns. It shocks me that their general manager would give up so many draft picks. A fourth, fifth, and seventh round pick to move up one pick. What were they thinking? The Viking must have been laughing. How fortunate for Minnesota. They received four picks so the Browns could move up one spot in the draft. For Cleveland's sake I hope that Richardson delivers. They need to exceed 4-12 this year to satisfy the masses.
