After trades before and on draft day four teams ended up with two picks in round one.

I like best the day the Seattle Seahawks had, which may not be surprising given that they were both in the top 14. The Hawks first nabbed Russell Okung, who will likely step in on day one to replace Walter Jones, when the Seahawks’ star left tackle makes his retirement official. The second pick, safety Earl Thomas, has 4.3 speed and was being talked up by some of the draft experts on ESPN as the best safety in the draft. He’ll immediately make the defense better too.

The San Francisco 49ers had a good day as well. There had been some talk that they might go for a speed back like CJ Spiller to complement Frank Gore. Instead, with the Clemson back off the board early, the 9ers nabbed two stud offensive linemen to make holes for Gore instead. Anthony Davis from Rutgers is a 325 pound anchor who will also help protect whoever ends up at quarterback while Mike Iupati, the guard from Idaho, will also be a road grader.

The most controversial of the picks among teams with two first-rounders was Tim Tebow, who was Denver’s second pick of the night. He went 25th when there had been talk a few weeks and months ago that he might drop to the third or fourth round. Demaryius Thomas, a 6-3 wide receiver, will replace Brandon Marshall. According to the FoxSports.com draft tracker, coach Josh McDaniels thinks Thomas is actually faster than Marshall. That … would be impressive. I have my doubts.

Finally, I have no particular issue with Detroit’s two first-rounders. You can make an argument that defensive tackle Ndamukong Suh might be the most talented player in the draft. And the Kitties then traded up to grab Jahvid Best, which I guess makes some sense with running back Kevin Smith nursing an ACL tear.

Still, this is a team with a lot of weaknesses, among them the offensive line. They must think awfully highly of Best to trade back into the first round to get him. But unless they think Smith is going to take a long time to heal they have a sufficient weapon there. And they still haven’t sufficiently addressed the offensive line, particularly the left tackle position in two years under coach Jim Schwartz – particularly important because they chose to build with Matthew Stafford last year rather than grabbing a tackle.

It looks like Stafford is going to be a decent player but they are going to want to do something to keep him upright at some point in the near future. He got killed at times last season already.

The Best pick is defensible. I don’t hate it. But he has durability concerns working against him as well. I like the aggressiveness but I would have preferred seeing them do something in the trenches on the offensive side of the ball instead.
