The NFL draft first round wrapped up Thursday night. There have already been some noteworthy selections, not to mention non -selections.
While Manti Te’o , Matt Barkley, and Geno Smith were all missing from the first round. EJ Manuel was a shock first choice quarterback, having been chosen ahead of Smith, Barkley, and rising prospect Ryan Nassib. Just as surprising was the fact Manuel was the only quarterback chosen in this round.
