No surprise at all that Brian Quick was the first taken and by over 20 picks. As I said all along he was the highest rated and almost went first round! I love that pick!

Trumaine Johnson slid a little farther than I thought but only by a few picks.

Gradkowski and McMillian were taken much higher than I thought but I do like McMillian.

Thompson, Jackson, White, Lane, Bethel, Compton, McSurdy, and Coleman all went within the range I expected.

I was really surprised Steed went undrafted until I heard he had to go back to Indy for medical reasons. Then the only surprise draft picks was Matt Johnson who I saw as a PFA, many teams I talked to said they were surprised he got drafted, and the Georgia State kid who I thought might go late in the 7th but I thought PFA on him.

The only other players I thought may get drafted that weren't, and they also surprised NFL teams by not going, was Jeff Adams, Matt Veldman, Dustin Waldron, and Micah Pellerin. The others I thought were borderline like Igwenagu, Robinson, Grimes, Corp, Bryant, Moss, and Talley.
