We close out an eventful first round today with these four brilliant picks.
Round 1 Pick 29: Baltimore Ravens select Peter Konz, OC, Wisconsin
Despite whatever jerkass Joe Flacco likes to believe, the Ravens are an offense built around the running game. The Ravens had a good line last year, but they are getting old. This pick was actually between two fellow Badgers: center Peter Konz and guard Kevin Zeitler. Matt Birk is getting old, and can't have a lot of seasons left, so it makes sense to grab the best center in the draft at this spot. Plus, he has the ability to line up at guard if Birk is still effective for a few more years. Konz had a huge part in springing Montee Ball for those 48 touchdowns last season. - Justin!!!
Round 1 Pick 30: San Fransisco Forty Niners Select Kevin Zeitler, OG, Wisconsin
With the 3 top CBs and top safety off the board, the Niners continue to build from the inside out selecting Wisconson's Zeitler. The Niners offensive scheme is based off a strong running game and Zeitler gives them another physical presence on that o-line in order to keep running tht system effectively. It is a key addition to an interior line that needed it. - Joe-l
Round 1 Pick 31: New England Patriots select Kendall Reyes, DT, UCONN
New England continues to put play-makers in the front seven to get to the quarterback. Kendall Reyes is not just a big body that ate up mediocre Big East defenses. He is a disruptive force that can play the techniques needed in both the 4-3 and the 3-4. The Patriots are looking for exactly this type of player. In terms of locker room presence, he is the opposite of Albert Haynesworth. In terms of athleticism, Google "Kendall Reyes backflip". This is another selection of first round talent versatile enough to stick in any spot on the defensive line. While these picks may realistically be traded into some other move, the Pats are creating a dangerous squad of youthful assassins in the 2012 draft. - Jeremy
Round 1 Pick 32: New York Giants Select Mike Adams, OT, OSU
The Giants have already informed their last years starting right tackle McKenzie that they will not be bringing him back and although they have guys they like at the position like former second round pick William Betty, the Giants find Adams upside to much to pass up at this point in the draft. He is a mountain of a man with left tackle type skills. His is a great addition to a rapidly aging line. - Joe-l
