In my recent memory this had to be one of the weirdest drafts I have ever seen. There were many reaches and of course there was Brady Quinn who was a predicted top 10 pick by many experts fell to the Browns at number 22 as they traded up for him. Here are my hits and misses for the draft so far.
Hits:
Calvin Johnson WR Lions: Even thought the Lions have a history of using high picks on receivers Johnson was a great pick. He and Roy Williams should make an exciting tandem for years to come.
Jamaal Anderson DE Falcons: The Falcons addressed there biggest need at defensive end and got a steal at number eight getting him as I thought the Redskins would take him. Anderson could be an all-pro for years to come.
Misses:
Ted Ginn JR. WR Dolphins: Ginn isn't a bad pick but considering Brady Quinn was still on the board and at the time Cleo Lemon was the starting quarterback Quinn should have been the pick. Ginn gives the Dolphins a playmaker they have needed but they could have traded down to get him.

Michael Griffin S Texas: Griffin can help the Titans right away but they need receivers to help out Vince Young. Plus I think Griffin was the third best safety left at the 17th pick considering Reggie Nelson and Brandon Meriweather. The Titans addressed receiver in the 3rd and 4th rounds getting Paul Williams from Fresno St. and Chris Davis from Florida St. but they aren't in the same league as receivers like Dwayne Bowe and Robert Meachem.
