Day two upon us.
Instant reaction: round one « Seahawks Draft Blog
Best day one team – New York Jets John Idzik appreciates the job he’s taken on. Yes, they could’ve splurged on offensive frills like a quarterback (Geno Smith) or a tight end (Tyler Eifert). Instead, they selected the two players I personally thought were the best in the draft. They simply had no choice but to trade Revis, cutting their loses. They couldn’t franchise him next year. They had no bargaining power. And yet they still got a first round pick out of Tampa Bay. It doesn’t matter how good Revis is, that wasn’t easy. Now they’ll swap in Milliner — a complete cornerback in my view — and add Richardson, who could be the next Darnell Dockett. They could still draft a quarterback at #39. They had a superb first day accumulating talent — the way a rebuild needs to be done.

Analyzing the Trades in Day 1 of the 2013 Draft
There were five trades in the first round of the NFL Draft. Who were the winners and losers? Which draft was used — the traditional Jimmy Johnson chart or something closer to my chart?
