Arizona Cardinals - Defense ruled the day for the Cardinals. Despite DE being lower on the needs card, they drafted fuckin' three of 'em, including absolutely massive (6'9", 282lbs.) DE Calais Campbell out of Miami. They also got the best CB in the draft, the previously-mentioned Dominique Rodgers-Cromartie. By the way, memo to whoever it was on the ESPN draft team (Chris Berman, probably) who said DRC would hope for success like his namesake: "namesake" refers to something or someone you are named after. It is highly improbable that Dominique's surname was chosen based on the recent success of Antonio Cromartie. Morons. Also, WR Early Doucet will be a playmaker.
St. Louis Rams - DE Chris Long, son of Howie, went #2 this year and he will immediately fill a pressing need for the Rams on getting more pressure to the opposing quarterback. Their second pick, WR Donnie Avery may not have been ranked high, but the Greatest Show on Turf knew it was all about offensive speed.
San Francisco 49ers - Well, they did need a DE, and Kentwan Balmer was the sexy pick, but the most pressing need was WR and getting some goddamn help for Alex Tinyhands. With their early round position and WRs dropping like rocks in this draft, they could have (and should have) picked up some hands.
Seattle Seahawks - Everyone had the Seahawks picking a TE in the first, but DE was a need, too, and check the line on the guy they got: Lawrence Jackson is 6'5" and weighs 268lbs. At USC he played in the shadows of giants DE Sedrick Ellis and LB Keith Rivers yet still managed to rack up 30.5 sacks. Yikes.
