Another NFL draft weekend has passed and of course all we’re left with are memories and lessons that we all should take into consideration. Well, here are just a few of those notes.

There Are No Experts

Coming into the draft, Sam Bradford was the consensus No. 1 quarterback followed by Jimmy Clausen. ESPN “draft expert” Mel Kiper Jr. had Clausen ahead of Bradford in his top available players rankings. NFL.com’s Mike Mayock had Clausen going as the ninth pick to the Buffalo Bills.

Now here’s why they have the draft and why you and I are as smart as those two guys: Clausen didn’t go until the second round. Clausen was supposed to be a top-10 pick, a guy people called a “can’t-miss talent.”

Well, apparently 47 times, people passed for some reason or another. The truth is that Kiper and Mayock may have insight on what teams will do, but when it comes down to it you could just put me and anyone else up there with those clowns.

Tim Tebow was the ultimate impulse buy

As fans of the NFL watched the exciting first round unfold, all of America was put into shock as the Denver Broncos drafted Florida’s Tim Tebow. What’s amazing about this is not only did Tebow go ahead of Colt McCoy and Jimmy Clausen, but he went to a place where there are already two rather established quarterbacks.

I understand if you want to get a quarterback to build depth, but to get Tebow in the first round is a joke. That might make sense if you have quarterback issues, but Denver doesn’t. My question to Denver coach Josh McDaniels: Why do you bring in Brady Quinn and already name Kyle Orton your starter and then still draft Tebow in the first round? Can the Broncos please draft a new coach?

Kansas players are going to make an instant impression

The three Kansas players drafted this weekend will all become an influence on their teams and are steals in this year’s draft.

Wide receiver Kerry Meier was selected by the Atlanta Falcons in the fifth round. Meier will help a growing Atlanta offense. He is a jack of all trades on the offensive side of the ball. He can run, catch and throw.

Wide receiver Dezmon Briscoe landed in Cincinnati with Chad Ochocinco and the rest of the Bengals receivers. The Bengals finished 24th in the league with only 195 receiving yards per game last season. Briscoe should help that.

Safety Darrell Stuckey landed in the best spot, though, as San Diego picked him in the fourth round. This is a great move because the Chargers are a team that’s ready to compete in the AFC, and they finished last season with a top-10 defense. Stuckey’s ability to disrupt offenses makes the Chargers’ secondary a lot better.

This was certainly an interesting NFL draft. Hopefully, some lessons were learned for those who didn’t learn through seven rounds and 255 picks.
