David Wilson sees himself as combo of Ray Rice and Arian Foster

A combination of Ray Rice and Arian Foster.

That is how the Giants first round pick David Wilson himself described as a footballer during an interview on WFAN this afternoon.

If the running back from Virginia Tech is close to that All-Pro's get past the Giants have achieved their goal of getting maximum value at number 32 on Thursday.

"I think I have a mix of Arian Foster and Ray Rice with the way he breaks tackles and Arian Foster sometimes makes something out of nothing and I am always looking for that extra yard when I get on the field," Wilson said .

NFL Draft: Brandon Weeden to Cleveland Browns

Once the NFL draft progressed beyond quarterbacks Andrew Luck and Robert Griffin III, it was like a day on Wall Street. Everyone wanted to make a trade.

The ins and outs began before the Colts opened the proceedings as expected Thursday night by taking Happiness and the Redskins, followed by selecting RG3.

Behind closed doors were general managers around the league chatting away, maneuvering their teams to qualify for the most coveted player on their draft board to land.

Morris Claiborne: I blew off Wonderlic

Dallas Cowboys first-round draft pick Morris Claiborne said, "very much blew off" the Wonderlic intelligence test the NFL combine, which has been reported as a single-digit score.

The former LSU defensive back, selected sixth overall Thursday night, told reporters that he does not take the test seriously.

"I mean, I looked at the test, and there was nothing in the test from football, so I pretty much blew off the test," said Claiborne.

Redskins-Rams Trade: Cleveland Browns Come Up Biggest Losers In Robert Griffin III Sweepstakes

Yes, they are paid to the king's ransom. However, the Washington Redskins are hoping that Robert Griffin III will only change that for them - the next division of the King, which also boasts of Eli Manning, Tony Romo and Michael Vick. You can win the NFC East, Redskins simply could not throw the second season of Rex Grossman of the center (or some equivalent), so they did what they had to do.

It is a common theme of these teams in recent offseasons - doing what they should do. Kansas City Chiefs, Miami Dolphins, Denver Broncos and Arizona Cardinals would like to do the same Peyton Manning. And those teams that lost has to take a Plan B route, which is likely to lead to more mediocrity in 2012.

What are the other team, which loses all of this, Cleveland Browns do not seem to aim at any particular. Manning, sweepstakes, they do not and do not pull the trigger to move up and Griffin. Maybe they thought they had time. Maybe they did not agree on the price. Both are understandable, but now they sit Colt McCoy again, and the AFC North division that is likely to leave them to pick the top five in the 2013 NFL Draft.

Matthew Williamson viat Browns as good Scouts, Inc. He writes: "Yes, Washington gave up laskeutua ton of this potential phenomenon, but it is a cost of doing business. One thing I take away from this event will be ashamed of Cleveland for letting this happen. Browns were the driver's seat to move only two places for nature, but instead of becoming more powerful, they are likely to sign the aim of mediocrity and Matt Flynn or the use of the second round pick is a possibility, such as Brandon Weeden, or Kirk Cousins. Again, that aims at mediocrity. Griffin was just that the franchise and the city is needed, but the Browns did not get it done. "

Chiefs is essential in this document as well, although they are broken allowing them to be somewhat better than would be Brown. After all, they almost won the AFC West in the period in which they fired their head coach. But to compete with any higher level, commanders will have to find that at some point and urgency to make a play quarterback. Otherwise, they will continue to linger as the league average for a team for a while.
