Well, not a bad day for the ol' Buff football alumni. For those of you that are die-hards and watched the entire 1st-day coverage, Jordon Dizon and Terrence Wheatley were chosen with the 45th and 62nd picks, respectively. Of course, Dizon (the stud) had to go to friggin' Detroit, where he's certain to meet failure and despair (see: Joey Harrington) as long as Millen is running the place. Oh, who am I kidding. They were failures prior to Millen. He's just the newest scapegoat.
ANYWAY, that's beside the point. Millen and Marinelli seem to really like Dizon, comparing him to Chris Spielman and Stephen Boyd of Lions teams past. Spielman was the man in the NFC Central, back in the day, so that's very positive. I don't know much about Boyd. Guess I'm not a big Lions fan. I just remember Spielman being a pain in the butt for our TEs and RBs.
Wheatley, on the other hand, heads to New England late in the 2nd. I'm sure this is partly to atone for NE's loss of Asanti Samuel in the offseason to Philly. Wheatley is quick, a good cover guy, and tackles well. He should be a good addition to the juggernaut that is the New England Patriots.
Not a bad first day for the Buffs. Looking forward to Day 2.
