LOSERS
1. The Tennessee Titans - Taylor Lewan
Mike Munchak is no longer the coach of the Titans, Ken Wisenhunt got the job in the offseason. What do the Titans need most? A PLAYMAKER! The Titans had a chance to draft several playmakers on either side of the ball, but they chose to use their 2014 #11 pick on an OFFENSIVE LINEMAN!? Are you serious? I could understand drafting an OL if we hadn't already done so last year. Not to mention we picked up a white guy, from Michigan, who has a sketchy past. I doubt Taylor Lewan stays a Titan for more than a couple years. Being a Tennessee Titans fan is so miserable. We had a chance to bring Johnny Football to Nashville! We needed some kind of running threat after the departure of Chris Johnson, but i imagine we take a RB tonight. Possibly Jeremy Hill, MAYBE Carlos Hyde(jury is still out for me)
2. The Pittsburg Steelers - Ryan Shazier
I don't even have any words for this pick. I have seen this guy play, and he is nothing special. The scouts say that his ability to find the ball and tackle is his best attribute right now. These scouts have lost their minds. He only had double digit tackles against teams which had terrible offenses. He is also a little small right now, he will need to bulk up some this offseason. But my complaint isn't with Ryan Shazier really, even though he did go to OSU. The Steelers had a great chance to snatch up a wide out, to get a 1st round guy super late. I don't see why they would draft a LB in the 1st round. The draft is littered with defensive players, not playmakers. The Steelers HAVE to pick up a WR in the rounds tonight.
3. The Detroit Lions - Eric Ebron
I'll be honest i didn't know a whole lot about this guy until i did some research after the draft last night. This guy can play without a doubt, but the Lions were't addressing their most important needs. They needed a WR, and they should have used the number 10 pick to take a big name guy. I understand why Ebron would work in the system, but it is a classic example of over drafting. Ebron would have been on the board when they took a pick in the 2nd round. The Lions need someone who will be a possession receiver, a guy like Wes Welker. If they had a solid slot receiver, along with the pass catching ability of their backs, they might be able to get deep in the playoff. The Lion will need to get some guys for the secondary in the 2nd and 3rd rounds tonight.
4. The Dallas Cowboys - Zach Martin
Jerry Jones was sitting in the perfect spot to shock the world and take Johnny Football, but I'm glad he didn't. I don't think Manziel would have been a good fit there, but Zach Martin just isn't the choice Jones should have made. Yes, the Cowboys needed the OL, but Dallas has been decimated on the defensive side of the ball. IMO they should have taken a CB, DL, or Safety. Mike Jenkins has been a bust (as I called), and he has been hurt. Bottom line, there were better ways to go, and for that, the Cowboys are a 1st round loser.
5. The Minnesota Vikings - Teddy Bridgewater & Anthony Barr
I don't believe Barr was a top 10 pick, i think Minnesota got nervous about which QB to take, saw that they could pick one later, and picked the easy way out with a defensive guy. Anthony Barr is an extremely good player, but again, we have a case of over drafting. Why take a guy in the top 10 like that, pay him all that money, and not be as sure about his ability as other players? The Vikings should have traded the pick for a 1st round pick next year. Minnesota decided to be the team to take Teddy Bridgewater. Bridgewater is a great player, though still unproven, but this is a terrible fit for him. The one problem scouts had with him was his arm strength and accuracy in the cold. Minnesota will be playing the next 2 seasons outdoors while their stadium is being constructed. Teddy will not be successful in a place that's colder than his alma mater.
