The first round of the NFL draft began in predictable form, with the premier talents in the draft going off the board in the first six picks. Things turned a little crazy as QBs were picked, with the Titans surprising by selecting Jake Locker over Blaine Gabbert. The Saints made a major move to add a second pick in the first round so that they could draft former Heisman Trophy winner Mark Ingram.
