Day 3 Wrap-Up

The third and final day of the 2010 draft is in the books, and not before some drama. The Raiders acquired Jason Campbell in a trade, the Seahawks dealt for LenDale White and Leon Washington, and a number of big names remained on the board following pick No. 255.

So who won and lost on the final day of the draft? Here's the wrap-up.

Three Winners
1) Oakland Raiders: It was a very good day for the Silver & Black. They drafted Maryland OT Bruce Campbell in the fourth round (No. 106), a player some thought they would reach for in the first three rounds. Two picks later, they picked speedy WR Jacoby Ford from Clemson (No. 108), a solid addition for a team that likes to run a fast offense. But their biggest move of the day came in the form of a trade, when they sent a 2012 fourth round pick to the Redskins in exchange for Campbell. He should be their week 1 starter at a cheap price. I'm not ready to anoint the Raiders Super Bowl champs. They're probably still a couple of pieces away from being a playoff contender. But they're on the right track.
2) Baltimore Ravens: Baltimore got some very good talent on day two. The Ravens drafted Ohio State OLB Thaddeus Gibson in the fourth round (No. 116). He was a solid player for the Buckeyes, and can develop into a fine NFL player with a little bit of work. Georgia Tech RB Jonathan Dwyer, a sixth round pick (No. 188), is a talented runner who thrived in the triple option scheme in Atlanta. He needs some work in a pro scheme, but he has the athleticism to make it. The Ravens also got great value when they drafted Gibson's college teammate, DE Doug Worthington, in the seventh round (No. 242).
3) Cincinnati Bengals: Both of the Bengals' fourth round selections were good value picks. Georgia DT Geno Atkins (No. 120) is a little small at 6-2 293, and he's been inconsistent (7 sacks in 2007; 0 in 08; 3 in 09), but he's shown he can play at a high level. Texas LB Roddrick Muckelroy (No. 131) amassed over 200 tackles in his final two seasons, including two sacks and an interception in his final season.

Three Losers
1) Buffalo Bills: Buffalo didn't make any glaring mistakes on day three, but the Bills failed to come out of the draft with a serviceable QB. They did draft Levi Brown of Troy in the seventh round (No. 209), but he's a far cry from Clausen and McCoy. They also passed on Central Michigan's Dan LeFevour, who went at No. 181 to the Bears, and Cincinnati's Tony Pike, who went at No. 204 to the Panthers.
2) Former Heisman hopefuls: How the mighty have fallen. Before the season, Mississippi QB Jevan Snead and Oregon RB LeGarrette Blount had their sights set on big-time seasons. Instead, Snead had a terrible year and Blount punched a Boise State player on opening night, costing him most of his season. Both men have reportedly signed contracts, with Snead heading to Tampa Bay according to Scout.com's Adam Caplan and Blount on his way to San Francisco according to NFL Network's Jason LaCanfora. Still, it's surprising to see both men go undrafted.
3) Draft change doubters: From what I could see, the three-day, twice-in-primetime 2010 NFL Draft was a big success. ESPN's Trey Wingo said there were plenty of fans left at Radio City Music Hall on Day 3. It also brought more intrigue to the second round and fourth round, with overnight trade buzz generating a lot of interest. The changes seemed to work.

Now it's on to the signing frenzy for undrafted rookie free agents. Snead and Blount are already signed. Michigan CB Donovan Warren is signing with the Jets, according to ESPN's Joe Schad. A number of other players will likely sign in the next couple of days as well.

That does it for the 2010 draft. Grades are coming over the next few days.
