Did a cut 'n paste from the draft chat over at ESPN and found this tidbit a little interesting when a question was brought up about which team(s) have had a great draft so far:
"I like Dallas, even though there was not a lot of flash, Dallas had three needs on Day 1 and they filled two of them in the first round, both guys they targeted. I love what Pittsburgh did in a position that did not look like a big need, they took a RB that perfectly fits their system. Now they have Parker and Mendenhall. To show the trickle down effect of one player, you have defenses that will have to put an extra player in the box, which means they'll have to roll coverages, which makes Big Ben a happy guy. And you keep your defense off the field, because you can pound the ball and control the clock. Late in the game, you can finish it with ball control. It may be overrated, but I see all these things when I see that pick of Mendenhall."
