As long as the Falcons don’t draft me, Josh and Doug on day two, this will go down in the books as the best off-season for Atlanta ever and possibiy one of the best of any team ever.

If you had told me Tim Jennings would be not only the first Dawg DB drafted, but also the first Dawg drafted period, I would have said something to the effect of how yo’ ass is crazy or how you is trippin’. I love Tim Jennings, he’s a great athlete, but still he must’ve done something really impressive in front of indy personnel to go as high as he did. GATA, 23.

Indy’s three day-one selections average out to 5′10″, 209 pounds, none of which were receivers.

Day One Winners:
Arizona - Got Leinart at 10, then got their ticket to the playoffs 62 picks later. Arizona will be a top-3 offensive team for several years starting in ‘07, when Leinart takes over the QB duties.

^{Pope: Has chunks of guys like Klopfenstein and Fasano in his stool}

Atlanta - hit paydirt with the last two Hokies so figured “why not” with Jimmy Williams. Buh bye, Jason Webster. The guy who single-handedly led Mississippi State to its upset over Florida in 2004, Jerious Norwood, should be a good addition as well.

Houston - I still think they should have traded down for d’Brickashaw and an additional pick or two, but they did address their most pressing needs on day one - defensive help and offensive line help.

New England - Got a great, great RB in Laurence Maroney in the first round that fits the Pats offensive scheme well, then were able to grab future ROY Chad Jackson from Florida in the second.

New York Jets - Got the best OT (d’Brick), the best center (Mangold), and the most underrated QB (kellen clemens) with their first three picks, then shored up some defensive needs with the next two. A great selection day, provided the Jets’ staff and fans are patient with this group - they’ll need a season to adjust.

Day One Losers:

Buffalo - Overreached BIG TIME with their first two picks (Donte Whittner and John McCargo), then took the most overrated CB in the draft (Ashton Youboty).

Dallas - Took a LB that wasn’t even the best LB on his team (Bobby Carpenter) in the first, then passed on Leonard Pope to take Anthony Fasano, a slower, smaller version of current Cowboy Jason Witten, himself a POS overrated Volunqueer. But I’m not bitter about that.

New York Giants - Mathias “d’Brick’s bitch” Kiawanuka and a Georgia Tech player. Even drafting Sinorice Moss can’t offset the future damage.

Tampa Bay - Passed over the best guard in the draft, Max Jean-Gilles, and took another guard, Davin Joseph, with the 23rd overall selection (?!). Coach Gruden: don’t even try to spin this like a couple other teams were waiting for Joseph to fall to them in the first round and you just had to snatch him up. Please.

Day One’s Boom-Or-Bust Uncertainty Award, presented by Tums, goes to:
Tennessee, which selected Vince Young and LenDale White on day one. Are they gonna take Ruben Houston and Marcus Vick on day two?
