NFL Draft - Big Ten 1st Round Selections

#3 Cleveland Browns - Joe Thomas - OT - Wisconsin
#5 Arizona Cardinals - Levi Brown - OT - Penn State
#9 Miami Dolphins - Ted Ginn Jr. - WR - Ohio State
#18 Cincinnati Bengals - Leon Hall - CB - Michigan
#26 Dallas Cowboys - Anthony Spencer - DE - Purdue
#32 Indianapolis Colts - Anthony Gonzalez - WR - Ohio State

Somewhat surprisingly, the Buckeyes end up being the team with the most first round picks this year.  Ginn going to the Dolphins was quite a surprise, most didn’t really see him in the Top 10, but apparently his speed and potential is enough to land him at number 9.  I absolutely love the pick by Indianapolis getting Anthony Gonzalez.  They already have an amazing group of receivers with Harrison, Wayne, and Clark, and I see Gonzalez stepping right in and not missing a step.  Look for Gonzalez to have a huge rookie season catching passes from Peyton Manning.  He’s my early pick for Rookie of the Year honors.
