The Good
Saints - two impact starters (yes I know they traded next year's #1) but it's likley to be a late #1 and both Jordan and Ingram fill major needs.

Detroit - well done, scary interior DL

Arizona - Peterson is a more physical version of Deion Sanders, game changer in two phases of the game.

Texans - Watt fills a big need and should help free up Mario Williams

Patriots - Solder brings needed help to either tackle spot, and the Pats also pick up a 1st rounder in 2012 for dropping 28 spots.

Colts - Castonzo, see above

Chiefs - Baldwin, big physical receiver to compliment and free up Bowe. Big time Red Zone threat.

Us - Trade down and pick up a 2nd, still fill a major need with a top shelf player.

The Bad
Atlanta - Julio Jones nice WR, but needs on D were much higher and top shelf DEs and OLBs were there for the pickin'

Titans - Locker at 8......no way.

Ravens/Bears - ha, ha, idiots.

The Ugly
Vikings - Ponder at # 12 ????? Folks will be looking for new jobs after this one.

Panthers - Newton......I'll echo the same thing many said yesterday before the draft. The Panthers have MANY needs and two QBs drafted last year, plus Matt Moore. You could put Peyton Manning in Carolina and they would still struggle. Why take such a huge risk on Newton with all his red flags and liabilities in the pass game? The chance of Newton succeeeding and becoming a top tier QB in the NFL is small. They could've taken Peterson to bring immediate help at CB and on specials, Von Miller, Dareus, etc. Rivera put his job on the line with this pick IMO and unfortunately for him this will likely send him back to being a DC rather than HC.

Falcons - trade for Jones......a 1st, a 2nd and two 4ths ???? No way, very bad move by the Falcons. They didn't get massacred by GB in their own house because of a lack of a second playmaking WR.
