In a night that lacked surprises, failing technology, trades, and bad picks the NFL Draft pretty much went off as planned. It was great to see Cesar Ruiz go to the Saints with the 24th pick in the first round. As the draft was pretty much a recruiting tape for Ohio State Football, the Wolverines got some good publicity of its own with Ruiz being the only Center in round 1.
Ed Warinner will use Ruiz development and 1st round selection for years to come on the recruiting trail. As its clear he has been the reason Michigan has turned its offensive line around.
