"FacebookPinteresttebowdraft.png\n\nClausen Falls, Tebow Flies: The biggest storyline of the first round was Tim Tebow, the Heisman-winning Baptist Superman, leaping tall buildings (and concerns about his throwing motion) while Notre Dame quarterback Jimmy Clausen tumbled all the way from the top of Mel Kiper's draft board into the second day. Apparently, being Jesus's favorite footballer pays dividends.\n\nDraft Intrigue for Dorks: Can you believe the Chargers traded up sixteen spots to select Fresno State running back Ryan Mathews at #12? Neither can we! All in all, a whopping seven draft-day trades gave the first round some spice, but they were mostly modest wheel-and-deals, and mostly by Denver, who traded from #11 to #13 to #24, then back to #22 to select Tebow, netting a third- and a fourth-rounder in the process. Whew. Throw in some mortgage-backed securities and we'll have a real party.\n\nJust Win, Baby: That said, when the dust settled, most teams went with safe, smart picks and aimed for wins more than highlight reels. With only six QBs, running backs and wide receivers taken in the first round, the majority of players were offensive and defensive linemen\u2014hell, even Al Davis picked a linebacker. Glamorous? Hardly, but it speaks to the well-staffed brain trusts running NFL teams these days who favor substance over flash, as well as the growing numbers of hardcore, pragmatic fans who won't jeer them for it.\n\nAll in all, the first night of the draft was about as good as can be expected: entertaining to diehards, with one big headline for today's sports section. You can decide whether that was that worth switching over from last night's Office."^^<http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema#string>
