Bucs take Mike Evans -- big body WR who seems to do everything acceptably, but nothing exceptionally well. Hard to hate the pick, but I'm also struggling to understand who is going to throw to him.

Coach Lovie Smith called Mike Glennon the Bucs' "quarterback of the future" after they passed on a quarterback Thursday evening.
The Bucs were widely connected to Johnny Manziel, but ended up going with his college teammate, WR Mike Evans. "You know how much I like Josh McCown as our starter," Smith said of his quarterback situation. "But I love Mike Glennon." That's just coachspeak, of course, but Glennon's Tampa future is much clearer after the media packed his bags before the draft. He should remain in town for at least 2014.

No Top-Ten picks out of the Big Ten since 2008.
Let's hope everyone whiffed on Dennard.
"One problem with people who have no vices is that they're pretty sure to have some annoying virtues."
I read that, and I absolutely don't buy it. If the team was high on Glennon, why would they bring in Josh McCown and immediately declare him the starter? Makes absolutely no sense.
Plus, you can't trust a word that comes out of Lovie Smith's mouth. He said he was excited to work with Derrelle Revis a week before he was cut outright, and he made statements that the team was standing by WR Mike Williams and had no plans to trade or cut him 2 weeks before he was traded to Buffalo.

No soup for you! (or pizza, as I promised)
Carr was not drafted in the First Round.

Just a couple of quick thoughts.
I liked the Bengals pick. Denard was a great CB at MSU, a guy who fell, but a guy who fills a need. He was a physical and tough CB, one that should translate well to the NFL.
I don't know what the Browns were doing. Its great you got another 2nd rounder but you didn't need a CB. Manziel is a risk at 22, but a proper risk IMO. In reality they could have ended up with Watkins and Manziel which would be much more scary that Gilbert and Manziel.
I hate the Steelers a little more for taking Shazier and making me root against him. I hate to say it, but the Ravens found good value with Mosley in the 1st. Alabama defensive guys have been a little underwhelming in the NFL but still a solid player.
Ray Lewis is AWFUL on TV. He may be the only guy I want to shut up and her Berman talk.
I thought Lewis was bad at points, but every once in awhile he gave good analysis on defense players. Chris Berman is the worst person on television...not sports television, all of television. He just rambles about random things that don't make sense and the other people at the desk just look really confused.
ESPN would do much much better if they just put someone else in that seat. That someone else is Trey Wingo. This is not rocket science. Who runs that network?
The Cleveland Browns sold 1,200 season tickets between midnight and 7am
Round 2 Bengals wish list:
1) Mason RB
2) Matthews WR
3) Bitonio OT
4) Bradford LB
5) Murphy LB
3rd round pick up a project offensive tackle
2015 Rotation: Under Construction
I think Hyde is going to be a better pro than Mason...or are you not expecting him to be available when the Bengals select?
First off they didn't get a 2nd, they got A first and fourth next year, to move down 5 spots. And cornerback was certainly a need if you believe that the league is now a passing league and that you need two good corners. The Browns new coach believes that cornerback is the second most important position on the field (behind QB). Plus Haden is a free again after the season (or is it 15') so who knows how long he will be around.
I think Watkins will be a great player, but in a deep WR draft, its hard to pass that trade up. I wouldn't be surprised to see the Browns go WR at 35.
I'm not real high on the Manziel pick, I really wanted Bridgewater there.
From a quality standpoint, you're 100% correct. From a PR standpoint, I think ESPN just wishes he would spare them the uncomfortable situation of forcing out one of the guys the network was basically built on. In the end, they know that not enough people will turn away from ESPN just to avoid him.
I think the Browns made real smart moves. (hate to admit it)

My wish list for Bengals Round 2:
Carlos Hyde RB
Xavier Sua-Filu OG
Marcus Martin C
Derek Carr QB
Tre Mason in the 3rd if Hyde gets taken earlier
Go BLUE!!!
