UNIVERSITY of ALABAMA running back TRENT RICHARDSON was selected as the number three overall pick in last night's NFL Draft by the Cleveland Browns. Cleveland landed a STUD.
Safety MARK BARRON was selected a few picks later at number seven by the Tampa Bay Buccaneers.
With the seventeenth pick, the Cincinnati Bengals nabbed cornerback DRE KIRKPATRICK.
The New England Patriots moved up to 25th and chose linebacker DONT'A HIGHTOWER.
Surprisingly-- to ME, at least-- COURTNEY UPSHAW wasn't selected until the second round, taken by the Baltimore Ravens with the 35th overall pick. I was ecstatic until I discovered he would replace the recently-departed JARRETT JOHNSON, another standout former TIDER who signed with the Chargers. (Just THINK of a D stacked with Ray Lewis, JOHNSON, TERRENCE CODY, & back-up CHAVIS WILLIAMS!)
