Top 10 NFL First Round Takeaways

10) One more sign of the Mayan Apocalypse is the fact that, for once, it's not obvious that Detroit boned their picks

9) With the eighth pick in the first, Oakland made real progress by drafting a guy (Rolando McClain) that was actually projected as a first round pick

8) Kyle Orton really shouldn't be surprised that Denver and Josh McDaniels would make a terrible personnel decision about the QB

7) Pittsburgh looks like freaking genuises for just staying in their shoes and drafting center Maukice Pouncey

6) Jimmy Claussen was the best available player on Mel Kiper's board for so long, it seemed more like a hostage negotiation than a draft

5) When three out of the first four picks were from one school, and that school didn't win the national championship, doesn't that make the coach suspect?

4) If San Diego had reached any harder for a RB, they might have hyperextended something

3) Shockingly, the Cowboys drafted the talented WR with the highly questionable character

2) If DE Jason Pierre-Paul struggles for the Giants, the Frenchiness of his name will be cited in all derogatory mentions of his game

1) It's not true that Brandon Graham, Philadelphia's first round pick that required a trade and a mortgaging of third round picks, is an anagram for "Mike Mamula", "Jon Harris" or "Jerome McDougle"
